After that Vincennes-Anderson scrap tonight a lot of birds are going to be saying “I told you so,” and a lot more will have to backfire. No matter how fast the play was in the G. E.-Huntington Buddies game last night, when one of the Buddies scored or made a good play one or more of his teammates found time to congratulate him. Fine spirit. Derr, diminutive forward on the Huntington Buddies quintet, was one' of the fastest players and surest shot who has performed on the local hardwood this year.
