Horsemen Here Wednesday To Compete With Unity Frat; Locals May Be Strengthened The Unttjr Fraternity come up "lo bnt" tomorrow evening with what 13 considered tfro strongest, team In the whole loop--tbe Mve Horsemen of Unloatown. The visiting club lias cut a clean wath through all opposition so far ihls year and tomorrow evening Trill lilay-lts second game with tho Frat. In the flrst contest the Horsemen won by a nine-point margin. A different team than that which playei the Caseys on Monday evening may take the floor against tho Horsemen. Tho Frat management has been working alt season to strengthen its line-up to cope with tlte visiting club nml it any the "linos" which have been thrown out produce, Huntsman may be found at forward instead oJ center, and considerable strength added to the sfjuad.

The Frat had its eys opened the Casey victory lost night and i will be a hard team to cope wKh "Wednesday--every man of it wl'S to redeem the organization in th eyes of Its following here. The Fra has the power to win Wednesday' encounter and if d-etermincdnes counts for anything, a grrim ttittlc 1 certain 'to ensuo. The Horsics have been cutitin quite a figure in independent circles this season, winning from some top and losing others by onl slight margins. It will be Quito feather in the Unity Fraiie can take the engagement and Huntsman with his club, arc due to be "hot about Wednesday. Armory No Place for Man With High Blood Pressure When Frat And Caseys Play, DeHuff Says By 3.

M. DeHOTT. Out at the Armory last night Tom Cunningham started an argument that's going to take the best part of the remaining winter months to settle when his Casey Club took a win from Jimmy Driscoll's Unity Frats after an evening of artery-corroding basketballlug. Tho resultant argument being--naturally of course--which aggregation ronre- sents local supremacy in this popular cold weather pastiming. Personally.

I haven't the remotest Idea; and it I did have, I'd be afraid to breathe- It to a living soul after what I lived through last night. This much I do know, however: That bnstilc-llke edifice on -Washington avenue, where Diptain Tom Scott develops future Pershlngs during peace- timet, was no -fit place for a man wltli high blood pressure--or low, r'lther, for that- matter--between hours of and 10 P. on January' 31. Fact of the matter is--I think a fellow so afflicted, would have lots safer right in the very front i ow in a Kepvtblican or Democratic National convention hall when all the delegations wore stampeding to a candidate that had really been nominated months previous in some very privates room in some very exclusive hostelry. To me the game was much like a four-act comedy drama, with all the comedy being developed in the first two acts when the Irish slapsticked themselves to a IS to 5 advantage over the erratic shooting Fraternity outfl The latter'a attempts for field goal was almost farclal at times; thet tosses from the free line worst Why, I honestly believe that Dan Me Grew would bi alive and enjoyin good health today had It been one Driscoll's men plugging at htm in stead of that ill-tempered bartender Xo distance seemed too great to them for a try at the elusive basket an the only thing that mirpriscd me wa that some of them didn't craw through a window and try a shot from over about Kcngy's store.

Then came tho third act. Ah! Th curtain is no more than up when th deviltry of tho Caseyites--and -ea ppctally that of the arch-villain "Rabbit" Niland--stood exposed. Th hero of the Frats strides out--a fair haired fellow from outs East Hunting don High-way 1 A lad earned Hunts man, and not at all difficult to out. With his righteous-Indignation filled companions--the Test of the Drlscoll team--he roughly thrusts Niland and the balance of the villaln- ish Irish from his path, grabs the child from their clutching fingers tears up tho papers--and came within an ace of wiping out the mortgage on the vine-covered homestead! Yea--it was a great game--this flrst tilt of tho season between these ancient warring factions. The Cunningham team looks good.

But, to me, the question of local supremacy was anything but settled last night. Caseys Upset "Dope" and Turn Back Unity Frat in First Tilt Irisli Team Amazes Opponents During First Half; Score Is 28-24. BIG CROWD IS PRESENT upsetting all the so- called "dope," tho Casey Club, which got away to such an unsuccessful start a tew woe-ks ago, rode rough-shod over tho Unity Fraternity crew at the State Armory last evening to a victory, 2S-2'1 against its oldest rival. Tho Casey team was right on its toes for tho engagement and Babbit Niland's crew was hot. In the first half tho Frat looked like a joke and during the last two periods ol the same, although the tornier champions outscored their opponents, tho lead was not sufficiently overcome to.even up Cor tho lop-sided result of the flrst part of the clash.

A dandy big crowd lillcil the Armory and adherents for both sides pulled hard tor thoir favorites to win. It was hard lor tho Frat to take the de-1 feat as such a thing had not been anticipated. However, the club was ragged in its work during the early stages that it simply could not be compared with the Dung Casey uulntet. Itabblt Miami, long vf Mgnlzed as au-uiciiutions-- ihe outstanding power or. the Miller for Turk, Ctu; ous team, kept his boys humping and displayed a different style of play for Oasoy team.

The defends was new and also tho attack. Huntsman, who lias been the chief scoring power of tho Frat. was oft his 1 11 i L-ug'ul four baskets dur- lug tliu last halt but simply could not hoop in the The Caseys were the'center oC play during the opening periods. Sweeney started the scoring with a peg from the middle ol the floor and Niland followed him up with a similar, shot. At tho close of tho first tiuarter tho result was S-3, Oaseya und at the half 13-5.

Tho third quarter closed with the Irish team holding a six-point lead, The Tlctory gives the Caseys tho edge in the race tor the city championship, which is a side issue of the Fay-West League 1 The Coniiellsvllle title is fought for with as much vigor as the pennant itself. The Caseys also demonstrated their cluh will have to be given real consideration in meetings. One half ol! tho Frat defeat last evening was caused, it is believed, by overconfidence which turned into panic when the opposilion began to run a lead. Now tho Frat lias to begin all over again and it will bo a "tough old haul" with the Five Horsemen of TJn- lontown as tbo next opponent--here on Wednesday evening The line-up: Cnsey Clnb--2S. Sweeney Nlland got them th early stages Tlu banged ixwuj at the basket in iho opening periods i Di-is- i-oll casing tlio only double-decker.

Three foul i made up remain- dor ot the tlrt half score, the period closiir: i the result at Unity I'rat--21. Driscoll LaRue Turk CTM. Huntsman Melniclc Mehallic Marlin Su'Uititutioiis--Webb for Martin, for Miller, Harper for Vorassl, Vanftorder for Mehallic. Field goals--Sweeney 3, Xilaml 3, Vorassl 2.

You will find the perfect fragrance and taste of choice tobaccos, rarely blended. You will experience mellow mildness that gives endless cigarette enjoyment I For the choice of the modern a Camel!"
