The former secretary of the treas- ’ ury pledges himself to combat “the I greatest enemy of the American peoI pie—privilege," in his address last night at the Jackson day banquet. His reduction plan would lower ' taxes on small and moderate incomes ;to a greater extent than the Mellon | plan, McAdoo said.

Field Goals by “Eagle Eye” Pete Last night’s game was a tough one to lose for St. Marys. The visitors had held a slight lead over the locals throughout thirty-nine minutes of the forty-minute contest and then a basket in the final minute spelled defeat. Purdue annexed another Big Ten victory last night, but was forced to the limit to win from Ohio State, 2423. The Buckeyes, like Notre Dame, appear to be learning a little basketball. The rabbit foot carried by Coach Hez Clark, of Rose, Poly, during the last week, appears to have been bt little value, as the Rose boys lost to State Normal last night. 36 to 13. It takes more than a rabbit's foot or mere superstition to win basketball games. It takes ten good human feet supporting five brainy heads to turn the trick. The Yellow Jackets will travel up to Sturgis, Michigan, Friday night to do battle with the high school team of that city. This game was added to the schedule yesterday. We’re pickin' Decatur. Three more basketball nights this week. G. E. vs. Ossian Maroons, Thursday night; D. C. H. S. vs. Kirkland, Friday night; I). H. S. vs. Garrett, Saturday night. Tip Offs says: "We haven’t heard any noise out of the Decatur Leaders for some time.” Well. Tippy, the Leaders added another win to their list last night and if you don't think St. arys’ scalp is worth counting, Just schedule a game with them for the Phi Delts. Zink, floor guard for the St. Marys team last night, has been in the game for the last seventeen years and he can still show the boys something about guarding. South Side plays Angola Saturday night. Now we’ll have some comparision between the Yellow Jackets and the "veteran quintet." Can You Beat This? While neighboring towns are clamoring about the wonderful achievements of their basket ball teams, we were just wondering whether it would not be a good policy at this time to furnish sport enthusiasts with the record of each of the four teams which are playing for Decatur this season. The four teams are Decatur high school. Decatur Catholic high rihool. Decatur leaders and Decatur E. teams. We believe the record is worth printing and with the aid of a sport enthusiast, we herewith submit these statlstica, both as individual teams and a total of all games played: High School—Games played . 9: won 5. lost 4. Total points scored by locals 271; by opponents 238. * Catholic high school--Games played S; won 3. lost 2. Total points scored by locals 115; by opponents 63 Decatur Leaders —Games played 11, wnn 6. lost 5. Total points scored by locals 272; by opponents 202. Decatur O. E.--Games played 11; won S. lost 3. Total points scored by locals 354. by opponents 292. Since the opening of the season four teams representing Decatur have played 36 games. They have won 22 und lost 14 of them. They have made a total of 1012 points us against 897 scored against them Sport writers In neighboring towns who are so elated over their basket ball accoapllahmenta will do well to paste thia In their hat until they can figure away to hotter this record. —Contributed. o - ■ ■ COLLEGE BASKETBALL Purdue. 24; Ohio State, S 3.

Motion For New Trial Likely In Damage Suit Bluffton, Jan. 9 —lt is said a motion likely will be filed by the defendants for a new trial in the damage suit in which a verdict wes returned Saturday for Jeff Klopfenstein against David R. Kosht for $601.14. An attorney in the case reports he has been informed one of the jurors, of liis on volition visited the scene of the automobile accident involved in the case. In Hard Lincs “1 could not work at all and had to take to my bed with a high fever due to intsetinal indigestion, gases in my stomach and pain in my right side.
