LEADERS DEFEAT RED BIRDS, 32-22 Local Basketball Team Has Little Difficulty in Winning Last Night The Ilecatur leaders easily defeat j ed tin* Overland Red Bird basketball team from Fort Wayne In the new ! higli school gymnasium here last : night, iu a rather slow lint interest--1 Ing game, score 32-22. Both teams • i played a five-man defense and the Red Birds, especially, experienced diffmilty in working the ball under the basket. The first half ended in a score of 2<>B for- 1 the locals. B'll Crist, tiie Leader's regular back guard, was*unahle to play last night on account of a sprained ankle which he suffered in the Angola game. His position was very ably fillmi last night by Orel Myers, of Blnftto.i, former member of the Bluffton Phi Deit and Huntington American Legion teams. Although Myers had not played a game tills season previous to last n’ght's contest and had never practiced with the Leaders, he played a fine game and held the visitors well away from the basket. Bryan Played Under Handicap Bryan, the Leaders’ floor guard, played the entire game last night in L.pite of the fact that he injured one hip in the game at Angola. He played a fine floor game and scored one filed goal. Oliver, of Monroe, played c< liter for the Leaders last night, anti held down the pivot position in fine style. Yager, regular center, was shifted to forward, as a running mate for Tabby Andrews, and tiie two forwards worked together in fine faslftcn. each scoring six times from the field. Yager fit into tiie forward nosition nicely. Andrews played his usual flashy game, coveting the floor with great speed and doing phenominal shooting The L?aders reserves consisted of Byerly. Crist, Ralph Yager anti Kern, but they were not called upon to play. For the visitors, Wilson at center, and Adams at floor guard played a nice game. Hosey, son of Mayor Hosey, of Fort Wayne, and captain of •ast year's Central high school team, was closely guarded -last night anti was held to two field goals. Decatur Led Throughout Game Decatur jumped into the lead withI In thirty seconds after the tip off I when Oliver snagged a field goal from tiie side of Hie court. Decatur Was never beaded after that. After An drew.-i had scored two points on a foul, Homy shot a field goal. This end< d the Red Hirds' scoring for some t itle, the Leaders running the score ut) to 14-2. before the visitors scored again on a foul. The Roil Birds tiled hard to overcome the lead in the second half and sucteeded in ■arrowing tiie margin two points, but he Leaders maintained their strong defense.
