that we may be in a position to with
stand any demands made upon us.

BASKET BALL
GAME CALLED
OFF; NO LIGHT
There was a basket ball game last
night at the A. B. hall, but not the
i one scheduled. The lights won. The
married and single men were on the
1 floor and the spectators were present
but the lights began their innings be
fore the whistle was sounded. The
lights kept going down, down, until
neither the ball nor the baskets could
be seen. Then suddenly there wore
three flashes, warning that the lights
were going off—and they went off. '1 he j
players groped around in the dark
ness for their clothes, Lucas fun.bled
through ris pockets and gave back the
admittance price, but, the game be
tween the married men and single fel
lows will perhaps be played toman- w
right, lights permitting.
