Please hlkii your initials, at least. it sure is tough luck that Decatur, and Monroe, Adams county’s two best bets, have to meet each other in the first round. We think a whole lot depends on the outcome of this battle. At first thought, one would think Bluffton had easy sailing in her first game, but did you know that Lancaster downed Van Buren, 36 to 23 last Friday night? From the way the Huntington county dope bucket points Huntington will meet Warren in the finals. Warren, here is your big chance to move the court house.—The Tip-Off In the Huntington Press. The eigh'te’enth amendment doesn't mention our basketball dope as being illegal, so drink all you want to. It's got a kick, however, so be careful how you imbibe.—Out of Bounds. Wouldn't it be nice if Geneva or Berne would spring a surprise and turn out to be a dark horse in the tourney? You never can tell. Purdue suffered another attack of the ill luck which Jias been following Indiana’s two entrants in the Big Ten recently and dropped a contest to Wisconsin Saturday night, 20 to 19, A sensational field goal in the last thirty seconds did it. Since Petroleum gets a bye in the first round, they will be fresh for their battle with Liberty Center Saturday morning, providing of course that Liberty Center beats Berne Friday afternoon. The game at 8:30 o'clock Fiday night will be a battle between the gymless wonders. Geneva and Union Center. Both of these teams have gone through the season without the use of a bymnasium and both have Placed some, pretty nice basketball. Did yon see what Butler did to Wabash Saturday night? We're pickin Butler to beat Franklin this week. Don't forget to dope out the tournament. —o —■ — MR. ELLINGHAM IS SOLE OWNER I'ormer Editor of Decatur Democrat Buys Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette Lew G.

SENATE DEFEATS MOTOR BUS BILL Measure for State Control of Motor Trucks and Busses Is Killed — Indianapolis, Feb. 26.—(Special to Daily Democrat) —State control of motor trucks and busses acting as common carriers was decisively de | fented in the house of representa lives today on recommendation of a | majority of the committee on roads. The Moorehead bill which would havo given the public service commission power to regulate them the same as it regulates traction com panies and other utilities was killed [ by the house. It had already passed ■ the senate. "This bill puts the buss companies out of business," said reresentative Jones, attacking the measure. Representative Freeman declared , the bill would destroy competition. "It is fostered by the traction com | panies,” he said. "If it becomes a ■ law the public service commission soon would prevent the busses run ning parallel to interurban lines." The debate proceeding the Vive Voce vote which smothered the bill showed a bitter feeling over the efforts to subject the buss companies to state control Representative Kltch declared the buss companies were actually utilities and his argil ments were countered by reresentative Waters who declared that the bus companies have no liability to protect their passengers or public property. Oponents of the 'Moorehead Memorial Day bill, declared delayed action on it when it came up for passage in the house. After a speech by representative I’erkins, opposing (he measure, representative Harris, of Gary interrupted proceedings by I i demanding that the house dispose of a motion for consideraton of the bill' i ■ passage through second reading. The motion had been filed by re-' presentatve Thiel also of Gary. Harris said this action was necessary according to the rules. An at- , tempt was made to table Theils mo tion by representative Ahldren also from Lake county. Several representatives demanded that the motion be read. It had been filed away, however. During an attempt to find it, the house adjourned until this afternoon. I The Moorehead bill which passed | the senate is aimed at the annual ; speedway races at Indianapolis and would prevent all commercialized sporting events on Memorial Day.
