Dunham added one on a close score the Green and White a free throw. Millikin dropped one athletes proceded to take an easy in from the field for the Blue and game from McKendree, 39-18 and then left town for Lake Forest where they added another one, 41-18. These victories came as good tidings after the reverses of last week and the local student body is still ex-pecting the Gaws to bid high for the I. I. A. C. bunting. Oliver Going Great Too much credit cannot be given to Captain Oliver who has been acting his veteran role extremely well of late. Without Tommy the Millikin game would have been a different story. Five fielders and one from the black line were his contribution in this important contest. His floor work, too, is remarkable. With his old veteran team.mate, Gottschalk, a cool and consistent game of defense is always assured and then after holding the enemy the dark haired captain makes a practice of sneak-ing down the court and dropping them in from all sides. Oliver is one of the brightest spots in the whole conference this year. "Bill" Dunham Out The work of loach Cartwright's fighting aggregation stands out even more brightly when we know that Zinser followed with one. Oliver al-so hit the basket from offside and Millikin took time. Score 9-6, Wes-leyan. After the contest was continued. Millikin added one when Anderson penalized. Zinser dropped in a long one for Wesleyan. Gotty added one on Madden's foul. Long was in-serted into the fray at this juncture taking Lindley's place at forward. Time out, Millikin. Score Wesleyan 12, Millikin 7. After a few moments of scoreless play Anderson went in for Madden of the Blue. Oliver soon caged one of his favorites. Anderson fouled Gotty and he made it as the half end-ed. The score stood 15-7. Second Stanza Anderson opened the scoring for Wesleyan with a pretty goal from the field. Golden went in for Dunham. Golden dropped one in from the field. Zinser was fouled but For-sythe missed the foul but Madden made it two points instead of one. Golden now added a foul for the lo-cals. Oliver uncorked another long one. WESLEYAN HAS A 'LARGE NET DEFICIT This, Despite the Large Revenue From Football and Basket-ball. In spite of the large revenue re-ceived during the 1922-23 football season from big games with Lake Forest, Bradley and Illinois College and basket ball games with Millikin and Bradley, Athletics for the fiscal year 1922-23 show a net deficit of $2516.00. Football was the only\ sport that returned a profit to the university.. The championship five did not re-turn a profit but broke .even. Base-ball and track netted the university a large deficit in spite of the nine being undefeated. The expenses for the year were as follows: Repairs and Labor-.......,....-$3,995.43 Guarantees and Oficials ... 1,716.50 Traveling Expenses ..-----1--, 034.12 Seaters and Team Supplies 2,472.47 Medical Attendance --..- ------ 311.58 Advertising id d Sundries.. 896.40 Coaches' aaries ----- ---- 4,300.00 T,$latExpense .. -$ 4,726.50 Thee receipts for the year were: Student ees ..----. .....-------- $5,237.50 Football Receipts .............. 4,644.50 Basketball Receipts--..-.-..-.-..-. . 2,129.00 Other Receipts ..------------............ 209.50 Total Income--.-..-.-..-.-.. . $12,210.50 Deficit ...--------------............. $2,516.00 This deficit, however, was more than provided for by an arrangement of the Board of Trustees of the Uni-versity to assume the payment of $3000.00 of the coaches' salaries. A Chat With Dr. Pettit "I can't see that music and mathe-matics are contrary in their na-tures," Dr. H. H. Pettit remarked to a member of the Argus staff in a re-cent conversation. Many Wesleyan students who have heard Dr. Pettit's Dr. Davidson Tells Personal Interests With just a few moments between the train and an important business meeting, Dr. William J. Davidson, Wesleyans president, granted a brief interview with the Argus reporter. "I was born in Carthage, a small country town in southern Illinois and attended a country school. My favor-ite sports were baseball, running, Jumping, wrestling and I was especi-ally fond of boxing. Earns 25 Cents. "One of my feats of strength was worth 25 cents every time I per-formed it. I used to climb to the top of a narrow and slippery oak derrick pole to take down the stay rope. The pole was 35 feet high and there were no braces except two steel pieces about twelve feet from the ground. For 25 cents I used to take down the rope for my uncle so that the icy rope wouldnt freeze and rot in the winter. It was difficult for the pole at top was not more than five inches in diameter. Wouldn't Tease Teacher "Did you ever stick a pin in the teachers chair?" asked the reporter. At that he flared up. "No, I never did. I didn't have any patience with boys who annoyed the teacher with malicious pranks. But we did enjoy breaking colts and mules and loved to ride bareback. We would fly across the fields with-out saddle or bridle, reins or bit. Yes, we used to 'ride cows, too-and play circus. One winter I was able to attend school for only eight weeks.
