SPORTS PERU DEFEATS LOGANSPORT IN FOOTBALL GAME, 20 TO 12 Logansport, Ind., Oct. 18—Playing on a soggy field in a downpour of rain, the Peru high school defeated the Logansport high school here yesterday afternoon by a score of 20 to 12. Straight football was resored to by the two teams. Many fumbles were made by the players. It was the annual homecoming game for the locals. o BLUFFTON HIGH SCHOOL ANNOUNCES NET SCHEDULE Bluffton. Oct. 18—Coach Russell Rippe has announced the basketball schedule for the local high school for the coming year. The schedule contains a list) of thirteen games in which the local five will meet some of the best teams in this district. One of the features of this year's basket card will be a county tournament, which will be played in this city. Wednesday, February 11. The complete schedule is as follows: Dec. 7- Petroleum,, here. Dec. 13 —Liberty Center, here. Dec. 21 —Portland, here. Dec. 28 —Berne, here. Jan. 4 —Warren, there. Jan. 12 —Hartford City, here. Jan. 18 —Liberty Center, there. Jan. 25 —Portland, here. Jan. 2G—Huntington, there. Feb. I—Huntington,l—Huntington, here. Feb. 11 —County Tournament. Feb. 15 —Warren, here. Feb. 22—Union Center, here. I>.*l>. 29 —Hartford City, there, The Fourth Down By Willie Punt A fine tlay for fumbles, isn't it? Peru and Logansport made plenty of fumbles in their game played in the mud at Logansport yesterday, according to reports. Peru proved to be the better mtid scow and won the battle, 20 to 12, thereby maintaining a percentage of 1,000 in the Northern Indiana Conference. Peru and Decatur are the only two schools in the conference with' a J., 000 percentage. Here’s the way they stack up: Team W L Pct Peru 2 0 1000 Decatur 1 0 1000 Huntington 11 500 South Side 0 1 000 Logansport 0 2 000 One of the proposals for changing the rules of the Indiana High School Athletic Association to be voted on today would prohibit any member of the association playing teams that are not members. If that rule passes it will interfere greatly with Decatur's schedules. Very friendly and interesting relations with Van Wert and Hicksville, Ohio, would have to lie broken off. Portland goes to Hartford City for a game Saturday. Portland should win its fourth straight victory. Evidently the victory of the Yellow Jackets over the Huntington crew last week dampened the enthusiasm of one Ross Hurd, of the Huntington Press, to such an extent that he is unable to generate enough hot air to fill his column, “Sport Hot Shots: - ' He hasn't chirped any for several days now. Its a hard lie, Ross, when your team breaks after a glorious •start. We've been there. Mr. Leadpcncll says that the game between Wabash and Emerson at Gary next Saturday “may” be a liyht. Possible, but not probable, Leady. Down at Bloomington they are hoping for a ropitition in the Wisconsin game Saturday of that fighting spirit which defeated Northwestern last Saturday. Indiana will fight, no doubt, but Wisconsin looks like a more formidable opponent than Northwestern Io us. It can be done, though. Ohio's <. hances for a victory over Michigan Saturday received a severe jolt, late yesterday when “Hoge'' Workman, start baitbuck, was called east, by the illness of Ire mother. Ollie Klee, another back, was injured in the Ohio Wesleyan game last Saturday and will bo unable tv play against Michigan — Judge. William N. Ballou, of Fort V.'a. tie.
