Field Goals

Out of Bounds in the Bluffton Banner says funs have suggested to him that he use a little mental suggestion each day and say “Day by day, in every way, the B. H. S. team Is getting better and better," thinking it might help some by tournament time. We might do the same thing to idvantage also. Just when Lancaster was beginning to show seme promise of becoming a dark-horse in the sectional tournament, along comes Ossian and trips them, 20-15. The blow administered when Vincennes defeated Anderson last Friday night, apparently proved fatal to Bobby, who conducts a column In the Frankfort Morning Times under the head of “What the Stars Say.” For weeks he has been shouting daily, "We're pickin’ Vincennes to get knocked off at Anderson.” His colyum in Saturday morning;"s‘ breeze consisted of a black-bordered four inch square. In the center ot the square was a monument bearing his name and the score of the battle at Anderson. Such is the life of a depester. Out of Bounds answers us: "Field Goals, of the Decatur Democrat, wants to know who we pick to play the dark-horse role in the coming tournament. That should be as easy to dope as the other angles of the tourney appear to be. We know that Liberty Center is strong, almost a certain winner, and we know that Bluffton. Decatur and a dozen other teams are unmistakably weak. That leaves to Union Center and Monroe the opportunity yell "fire" just as the big show gets well under way But can they yell loud enough to throw a real scare?" There’s the dope, fans. Liberty Center is going to win the tourney in a walk. We know we’re weak Bluffton, but we’re not ready to say "uncle” yet. so don't count us o,ut entirely. Then too, Bluffton, if you "Cone” from now until March 2, maybe you can at least win one game. It’s 100 straight now. Passiac high, New Jersey, won its 100th consecutive game Saturday, defeating St. Mary’s Academy, from New York, by a score of 59 to 38. A noble recordTwo of the players who played Saturday played on the team three years ago when the wonderful record was started. Including the games played this season, the Passiac quintet has piled up a total of 13,070 points to its opponents’ 1,794 since the start of the 1919-20 season. Watch Central high of Muncie in the state tourney. Saturday night they defeated Jefferson of Lafayette, 52 lo 39. Purdue seems to. be started now after losing a few games at the start of the season as is customary with the Boilermakers. They downed Chicago 32 to 23 Saturday night. A real contest should be the result of Indiana's trip to Lafayette Wednesday night. The fast St. John’s high quintet from Delphos, Ohio, suffered its second defeat of the season Friday night when the Ottoville five won a 34 to 29 decision at Ottoville. *The only other quintet to win from St. John’s this season was the Catholic high five of this city. Coach Linn’s team won 21-16 early in the season. The St. John's team will play in Decatur ia the near future. 0 HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL (Saturday Games) Greencastle 35: Manual (Indianapolis), 20.

Those who have the good of the game at heart must decide on what constitutes a fair deal for the former heavy weight champion. Those who have their own good at heart and are in the game for what they can get out of it, have to figure on how much the public will really stand for. Willard defends his campaign for another bout with Jack Dempsey for the heavyweight championship with statements that he is the former champion and has the right of an extitle holder for another chance; that he is the biggest and strongest of all the contenders and that he can get into condition to fight. With some qualifications, there is some soundness in Willard’s claims. There is no doubt that he was entitled to a return bout and the justice of his demand never would have been questioned if he had not been
