Field Goals | k=a= i ■■ « ■ ! t 11 11 — Hats oft to Central of Evansville and consolation to Vincennes. Central journeyed to Vincennes last night, played the Alices in their own play-house, and won 111 to 29, thereby breaking a record of twenty straight wins and accomplishing a feat which many other Hoosier teams have vainly tried to do. No one thought Central could do it. unless it was the Evansville people and coach. Vincennes may have alibies for the defeat. but nevertheless, Central won and Vincennes should swallow the pill and profit thereby. The most bitter medicine does the most good. There is no question about Vincennes having a mighty good team and you may look for them to be in the thick of the fight at the state tournament. Another team which has been winning much favor recently hit a snag last night. Muncie Centrol dropped a battle to Shelbyville, 45-24. Linn Kern’s outfit from Van Buren piled up a score of 63 to 10 against Swayzee last night. Ata boy, Linn. Bloomington came out of her slump last night with an awful kick, downing the Franklin state champs, 51 to 14. Young America. D. H. 8. opponents on February 23, suffered a 28 to 22 loss at Frankfort last night before the attack of the Jefferson high school five of Washington township, Clinton county. Little Jeff has a string of straight wins as long as the one Vincennes boasted before her downfall last night, and the list is headed by a victory over the Frankfort five. Pennville downed Liberty Center 17 to 14 last night. Every day in every way Decatur's hopes for winning the sectional championship are getting brighter and brighter. Manual Training high, ‘‘pride of Indianapolis,” lost to Marion, 32 to 19 last ngiht. Anyway, we gave Auburn a hard game last night, and the Purple and Gold five should win when Auburn comes down here to help dedicate the new gym next Friday night "Dizzy” Steele says he’s not going to flunk his test next week and if he doesn't he will be eligible to get into the game Friday night. Indications are that there will be a big crowd and a good game, so let's make the dedication an event which will be fine to look back upon. o MONROEVILLE BEATS OSSSIAN The Monroeville high school played the Ossian high school at Ossian last night, Monroeville winning in a five minute overtime period by a score of 21-19. The Monroeville girls team played the Ossian girls’ team in the preliminary, the visiting team winning by a score of 27-2. The Monroeville girls have not. been defeated this season. o ... DOG PLAYS BASKETBALL German Police Dog Nearly Breaks Up Game At Jeffersonville Jeffersonville, Ind., Feb. 3—Jeffersonville high school basketball five had an unexpected recruit In the game with New Albany high, which was won by the locals, but the new player, ‘‘Chalmers,” had to be ordered from the floor for ‘‘holding;” in fact the objection was that he did not appear to know or regard the rules. Chalmers happened to be passing, dropped in for a look, and then jumping on the floor started to play. At dribbling and pivoting he was supreme and with a little practice might learn to pass. He was strong, quick on his feet, aud none dared tackle him until Patrolman Bill Dolan took the floor and hauled him off. Dolan is afraid of nothing. Earl Smith has been asked hereafter to kindly keep his German police dog tied up on basketball nights, at least until Chalmers has studied the rules of the game a little more thoroughly. Huntington High Swamps Bluffton Last Night Bluffton. Ind.. Feb. 3. Huntington high school defeated Bluffton here last night by a good margin. 36 to J 5. Huntington led at the end of the first half, 16 to 8, and was never in danger. Newell and Petrie were their stars. Lineups: Huntington (36) Bluffton (15) :‘oad F... Clowscr-Glass Newell-Baker ...

FLYING RECORD IN DANGER Premier Aviators Preparing to Smash All Records for Flying Dayton, 0., Feb. 3, —America s premier aviators are preparing to smash the world’s endurance record for flying. • Tlds month, weather permittingLieuts. John A. Macßeady and Oakley Kelley, will mount the veteran T-2 in an authorized attempt to out do theii record of 35 hours, 18 minutes and 15 seconds established in a flight over San Diego, Calif., last fall. The California record was not recog nized as official American Aeronautical association representatives were not present to observe and time the flight. The trial next month will have the full authorization of the Army Air Service and official observers will b? on hand, according to an announcement from McCook Field here. During the flight, the wings of the T-2, the same plane in which the former endurance trial was made, will carry" electric lights to distinguish it from any other plane that might be

(lying at night. Maclleady and Kelly will wear electrically winged Hying togs. They will alternate at the stick. Thirty-four hours is the recognized world's endurance record, held by a French pilot. “We intend to take along enough grub to last us longer than 34 hours,' Lieut. Mac-Ready said. “Sandwiches and hot coffee, nothing fancy.” Shortly after their endurance flight] over San Diego. MacDeady and Kelly made the memorable flight from San Diego to Indianapolis in 27 hours and three minutes. It was an unsuccessful attempt at a non-stop transcontin | eiilai record. The T-2 also was used in that trip, which ended with engine trouble. The flight was unprecedented for harrowing experineces in the air. Both pilots are determined, they said, “to take another crack at that coast to coast thing.” Besides his Other Mac ! Ready also is the holder of the world's altitude record —12,809 feet—attained two years ago. Officials at the field said the pr;> j.-cted flight probably will be started 1 f unannounced, because of the uncerf tainty of the weather conditions. 5 CHICAGO MARKET CLOSE • Wheat: May, $1.18; July $1.13; I t Sept., sl.lO.
