Friday and Saturday evenings of this week. Tjie local boys are confident that they can defeat the lloosiers on this JlOor and redeem themselves for the games lost on their hip east. Smith and Tooman are playing great polo and will be in the game from start to finish as will Peter Johnson who will probably play center rush while Leonard or Parrel will play at half back.

This morning, work wis commenced on the new cages and as hey are considerably smaller than the old style cage, Williams, will not much sui-face to cover at goal, and as Harris, the famous Muncie goal ten.jcr is a Very large man, Williams is necessarily handicapped in his showing. It is probable that Art Pugli may take a hand in one of the games and while he is not in the lest condition, not having played in eight years, he 'would. nevertheless be a strong addition to the team, being a. hard (iiul sure hitter for goals, and being especially strong at the pass gainer It is possible that the Muncio team nay bring Chamiccy FMier, the famous Anderson.
