dropping a pretty field goal after two minutes
of play. The Teachers quickly tied the count
and wdth a burst of speed shot to the front,
never to be overtaken. Knauth, Stiffler and
Schenck did the scoring for the locals. The
first half ended with Normal leading, 14 to 4.In addition to their brilliant offense, the
Teachers put up a splendid line of defense, the
Normal guards breaking up all efforts of the
Franklin team to run wild. The Baptists team
work was easy for the visitors, who displayed
an exceptional article of basketball.The visitors substituted Campbell and Ab¬
bott for Klyver and Wygant in the last half,
but despite a rally could not get into the run¬
ning. Mullikin starred for the losers. Lineup

Clark. Referee—Westover, Purdue.Our next game was with Earlham and every
effort had been exerted to win it, as a victory
over the Quakers would leave only Indiana
Normal and Wabash as contenders for the
secondary championship of Indiana. With
every Normal man keyed to a high pitch the
game was called.The Quakers came here expecting to get a
hard game and left the gymnasium feeling
that they had been in a hard game, for the
Normal men played better than at any time be¬
fore this season. On top of this it must be said
that they were without the services of one of
their regular guards. Wann was laid up at hishome with a sore throat and was unable to get
out. Royer took his place and did fully as
much as could have been asked of him, holding
his man to one lone basket.After Stiffler had made his two baskets,
Schenck made the best shot of the evening, it
began to look as if the Quakers would form but
little opposition to the locals, as the ball was
kept almost continuously in Normal territory,
the sterling work of Williams, with his dribble,
alone keeping the locals from getting more
shots at the basket than they did. Clark left
the guard end of the floor long enough to come
up and throw a basket after the visitors had
scored their first point on a free throw by
Wolfe, and had repeated the feat a short time
afterward. Kemper and Rowe then made
markers from the field after a bit of pretty team
play, and Wolfe following them with another
successful cast made another from the field dur¬
ing the half, and Knauth added a point by
making a free throw.At the start of the second period the Quakers
opened up some lightning pass work which
threatened destruction to the Normal machine,
and before the local collegians had gained their
footing the score was tied at 17 apiece, two
baskets by Rowe and one by Kemper turning
the trick. Knauth again put the locals in the
lead, then, with a free throw, but AVolfe came
back shortly and tied the going again with a
free throw. Every man on the floor was play¬
ing fiercely by this time, and the ball was on
the move all of the time. Rowe then made the
last basket which the Earlhamites got during
the contest and put his team on the long end
of a 20-18 score. A beautiful cast by Schenck
from the middle of the floor again tied the
count at 20. Wolfe made another free throw,
but Knauth broke the ice with a basket, and
shortly before the last whistle Clarke put the
contest on the safe side of the ledger wTith
another from the field. Time was called with
the visitors bombarding the Normal goal.
