In an accident on the state road

FRIDAY EVENING FOR GAME
New Style of Game Not Impressive
To Fans-- Does Not Promote
Team Work.
The Greentown Beavers walked off
the floor Friday evening with a vic-tory
over their most bitter rivals,
the Jackson Township Stonewalls. The
score was 25 to 20. The game was
closely contested all the way, with
the locals holding the lead at all times
throughout the game.
The battle resolved it into a ba
tle from the free t• ow line. The
Jackson boys caged twelve gift shots
and the Beavers eleven. The Stone-walls
caged four field goals and the
Kingmen seven.
Fawcett and Middlesworth divided
scoring honors for the visitors with
five points, while Johnson for the
Beavers caged seven.
The game was played under the
new non- stall rules. It would seem
from the first appearance of the style
on the local floor that it did not make
a very favorable impression on the
fans. Team work seemed to be dis-couraged
and no noticeable speeding
up of the game was apparent. This
may not be true on a larger floor, and
as the season advances the style may
be master' , v 	 the coaches and an

The Beavers journeyed to Russia-vine
Saturday night to meet the Cos-sacks
of that place, and were handed
a one- sided defeat by a score of 42- 24.
The Beavers were outplayed most of
the way and only threatened in the
early stages of the game. The score
at the half showed Russiaville lead-ing
29- 6.
The local seconds also broke even
during the week- end by winning from
Jackson Friday evening, 33- 17, and
losing to Russiaville Saturday evening
23- 17;
Beavers will journey to Kokomo
Friday night to meet the Wildcats.
The squad has been practicing hard
and expect to make a creditable show-ing
against the county capital boys.
A large number of fans are expected
to accompany the team.

Howard County's first bond issue
for poor relief in Center Township
will be offered for sale Monday, De-cember
26.
The county commissioners decided
on this date for the issue after con-siderable
discussion Monday. They
authorized the auditor to call the
county council into special session on
December 5 for the purpose of legally
giving them authority to float the is
sue. The commissioners will be in
session at that time and on December
6 will order the bond issue to be ad-vertised
for sale the day after Christ-mas.
The earliest possible date on which
any bonds could be put on the market
is December 19, but if this were done
the issue would cover only the sixty
days of the bills that have accumulat-ed.
The board, therefore, decided to
wait a week longer and receive bids
December 26 so that the December
claims may be included in the issue.
This action will mean an initial bond
issue of between $ 90,000 and $ 100,000.
The county, in paying its claims, fig-ures
its months from the 25th day of
one to the 25th day of the next.

member at a cost of twenty cents. The
meals are to be served at a cost of
forty cents each.
