LOSES AT FORT WAYNE Defeatd By St. Patricks In Small Lyceum Gym By Score Os 11-9 Decatur Catholic high school's basketball team mot defeat at Fort Wayne last night, by a score of 11-9 at the hands of the St. Patricks parrish team. The game was played in the Lyceum gymnasium which is very small, and the Decatur boys were unable to use any teamwork to advantage. The D. C. H. S. Seconds defeated the St. Patricks Seconds tn a preliminary game, by a score of 1110. In the first team game, the Decatur boys grabbed a 5-1 lead in thq first half, but the Fort Wayne eagers odtscored them in the second period and forged ahead. The game was rough on account of the small floor. Tim Fort Wayne team will play a return game here in the near future, more than likely, and locals arc determined to get revenge for last night's defeat.
