Description:	122THE NORMAL ADVANCEgym. The teachers w?ere never threatened, having the upper hand from start to finish.Franklin was the first to score. Mulliken 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 and summary:Normal (25). Franklin (12).Schenck, Schafer F Klyver, AbbottKnauth F...

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.
