The Fourth Down By Willie Pont

A list of football schedules for 1921, purporting to be those of the schools in the Wabash Valley high school con ference, was published In the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette this morning. The schools named In the story were South Side, Wabash, Peru. Kokomo, Huntington and Ixagansport. According to the story, Decatur has been dropped from the conference. This is news to the local school officials According to the ‘'schedules" published today, Decatur does not have -i single game with any of the teams named, but on the contrary agreements have been made with Huntington and Peru for games with those iwo schools. These dates were marled "open.” There has been no meeting of all of the representatives in .he conference and all scheduling has been done by correspondence between Im various schools. Mr. Singer, principal of the Peru high school, is president of the conference, and he has told Principal Linton of the local tchool, that he had heard nothing of De. atur being dropped from the conference. All schools played by De>at ir this reason with the exception 'f Logansport, have asked for a place on our 1924 schedule. Decatur has been represented on the gridiron this tall by a fast team, one made up entirely of clean sports, and it has been a < redit to the local school and city wherever it has played. The team has not lost, a game in the Wabash Valley conference and it plays Peru tomorrow for the championship cup, with a big chance of winning the honors. We expect to win. hut if we iose we'll be good losers. We're >roud of our Yellow Jackets and their iecord. Tomorrow’s the day. The Yellow Jackets held no practice yesterday evenin;;. Sev> ral of the nembers of the squad had extra work to do in one subject after the close of school yesterd and Coach Howard told the other players that they ier-d not report. Huntington is preparing for a big .r. wd tomorrow at their home-coming ante. Marion furnishes the opposition. It should be a good game. We're pickin' Marion, although wo predic* a close score. Just for fun: Decatur to beat Peru. Booth Side to beat Logansport, Portland to beat Central, Emerson of Gary to beat Muncie, Indiana to beat Wabash. Northwestern to beat Purdue, Michigan to beat Wisconsin. Chi|<ap.o to beat Ohio State, Notre Dame iio beat Butler, Depauw to beat Hanover, Harvard to beat Brown. Illinois to beat Mississippi Aggies, Minnesota to heat lowa, Syracuse to beat Co’;,ute, Yale to heat Princeton. 0 FOOTBALL IN INDIANA Game Has Most Successful Season In State For Many Years (By Vedder Gard) (Written for the United Press) Indianapolis, Nov. 16.—Football in Indiana is coming into its own. This season has been the most successful for many years, not because of any great increase in the ability of teams, but because there is more football being played. Any number of high school teams took up tlie grid sjiort this year for llie first time or else revived the great fall game after it had been al lowed to die down. This state has for the past few years been noted as a basketball hotbed. There is no reason why football can not be developed in the same manner and the biggest step in years was taken this fall. As the high school take up football the college teams who benefit. The state college which did not draw students from outside Indiana to any great extent have been seriously handicapped by the lack of material in past years. Football is a gradual development and a youth who has played no football cannot be expected to shine on a college grid no matter how good an athlete he may be. There have been expectional cases where this has been accomplished, but it is not the nil?. Just to show what can be accomplished, the Muncie eleven is rated among the strongest in Hoosierdom after taking up football this year. It is to lie regretted that there is no absolute way of determining a state high school champion team. Emerson of Gary, had a very clear claim last season yet there were some to dispute the title.

It does not take n large enrollment to make a football team. The WilkIn.on high school athletic association Is taking morn Interest in Hie football situation. The board of control is anxious that the game be played wherever possible and many of Its hopna are being partju|liy realized ihis year. — o Fiery Cross Challenges Mayor of Atlantic City New York, Nov. 16.—A huge burning cross, which illuminated Atlantic City's beach for miles last midnight was accepted as the Ku Klux Klan's challenge to Mayor Edward L. Bader to pass his threatened ordinance making it illegal for masked men to parade the city's streets. The New Jersey "Firey Cross'" th" klan's official organ in the state, asserted the hooded order within six months would be parading Atlantic Cityfs streets and would protect their con»itutional right, to march fat the price of bloodshed," if need be. o S—»—»—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—l »—»—!—WANT ADS EARN—I—»—» o Public sale.
