S. ■ Decatur high school's basketball teams won three victories from the teams representing the Kirkland tewbship high school, at the new gymnasium here last night. The I). H. 8. first team won Its seventh consecutive victory by easily trouncing the visitors. 43-12. The D. H. 8. girls had little difficulty In adding another victory to their already long string, beating the Kirkland girls. 20I. The I). H. S. Seconds, playing their first game of the season, hud a much more difficult task on their hands than that tyrperienced by their superiors, but they emerged victorious by a V:ore of 15-12 after playing' two five-minute overtime periods. Tills game was the most exciting umi 1 thrilling game of the evening. 1 First Game A Thriller The second teams representing the ] two schools opened the three-game 1 entertainment. The first half was < slow and uninteresting, the locals leading by a 4-2 score at the rest , period. The visitors forged ahead 111 t the second half and were leading by | three points about five minutes he- i fore the regular playing time was up. j The I). H. S. seconds then staged a , rally and tied (he score at 11 points , Just before the game ended. In the ■ first overtime period each team scor- ■ ed pne point on i free throw. Deea-|| lur missed five free throws in thlsll period. "Shrimp” Lawson, who was I about eight or ten Inches sborterll and many pounds lighter than anyll other player on the floor, went Iti as I a substitute in the second overtimejl period and won the game with a free I throw and a pretty field goal. Thell rooting was intense during the twoll overtime periods I Girls Win Easily Thd I). H. S. girls, for .the secondjl time this season, defeated the Kirk-|l land lassie*. The first half ended 9-n " The locals continued their scoring in the second half and ran their total i up to 26. while the bo/t the visitors rougl do was to count one point onl a Ut*e throw. The D. H 8. girls have won nearly all of their games, losing only three or four contests all sea-1 sun. Eleanor Humphrey was the! seering uee last night, getting uinej field goals. , Yellow Jackets Victorious The Yellow Jackets had little dlffl-l culty in piling up a big score on the I K. H. 8. varsity, once they were! started, but their playing was ragged j and somewhat disappointing The! Kirkland boyg started out strong! and Jumped Into a four point lead be-1 fori* the locals scored. After about | five minutes of playing. Decatur was j still trailing, the score being 6 5.1 1 ummimiin til'd the score with a free throw on Corson's foul and then put I the locals ah -ad with a short field goal. From then on the victor was! never in doubt. Beal caged a field goal from dose in and Dorwin scored I on a free throw. At the end of the half Decatur held a 17-9 lead. Increase Score Last Half The locals increased their lead during the second half while a field I goal and a free throwr was all that Kirkland scored during the period. I Coach Howard made several substl-j tutlonx during the last half, sending In Andrew* for Real. Farr for Bor win. Baker for LammliAan and Hog-1 ner tor White. Dorwin returned to the game later und Farr replaced Sleds. One combination proved to j he utmost as effective as another. Krnsl. center, wag the main cog In the Kirkland machine.
