You provI ed yourselves to be football players. • Although the final score was 6-6, you I out-played C. C. H. S throughout the 1 game and made six first downs to t three by your opponents. The way the local backfield men f plowed through the visitors’ line in the first quarter sure made the Fort , Wayne rooters gasp. Do you realize that yesterday’s ' game was the third game of football ’ ever played by the Catholic high " boys? No matter how long and how ’ hard a learn practices, it takes competition in real games to teach the • players' most. s Now. let's take Marion, Yellow » Jackets. The whole town of Marion g turned out for a pep meeting Thursi day, according to reports from that 1 city. It will be a howling and fight- .. ing mob that the Yellow Jackets face j this afternoon. n a Mr. Sport at Wabash says, “We'd 8 like to bet on Decatur winning her 8 game with Marion Saturday, but what chance does the Decatur fight ers stand with a ‘POWERFUL’ team > such as that of Marion.” B We’re afraid Sport will force those Bluffton columnists to break loose be--3 fore the basketball season opens if t he doesn’t stop pickin' on the Blufff ton Tigers. Here’s his latest shot: 3 “Bluffton, in away we feel downcast 9 over your game with the Muncie g Bearcats, tomorrow afternoon. The old Magic City cat has long claws 9 and is vicious this year. They look Newcastle down the way by 6-0, and last season played Emerson High School of Gary for the state title. I Most of the bearcats of that team are back this year, too But maybe. ] the Bluffton Tiger will show its fangs, too.” 1 3 I You know those Bluffton journalists , are hot stuff during tht> basketball I season, but evidently they don’t like' 1 football or maybe they have another, f reason for keeping mum during the’ ’ fall. f Decatur fights and plays square. —— o ■ YELLOW JACKETS f AT MARION TODAY I I Coach Kennedy Takes | 1 Nineteen Players To Marion For Battle J ? Coach Mauice Kennedy took nine- ' ten fighting Yellow Jackets to Marion 1 today to play the Marion high school • football team this afternoon. Supt. tM. F.

The trip was made in automobiles. 1 Little is known concerning the • strength of the Marion team this year. ’ but tile local roach and team were expecting a hard battle and they were ■ determined to fight until the final ■ whistle for a victory. Coach Kennedy 1 has put the locals through strenguous workouts this week in preparat tion for the game. All of the players ■ are in good condition.

at least one game. While Alec Ferguson, a Yankee castoff, was noiding the Senators yes-| terday and giving the Red Sox a 2 to 1 victory, the Yanks were playing championship ball that could have been displayed to greater advantage recently in Detroit. The Yankees beat the Athletics, 7 to 1, and closed up the gap by one full game. Joe Dugan was hurt but his loss will not be fatal because Mike McNally can play the bag for a few days almost as well as Dugan can. With a lead of only one game, the Senators now have to win their three remaining games to cinch the America league pennant. The two contending teams have three games each to play. If the Senators win all their remaining games and the Yanks are not beaten in Philadelphia, the pennant will go to Washington by one full game. If the Senators lose one more game in Boston and the Yanks win three more, the two teams will finish in a tie and they will have to play it off ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■iiiißuivisiiiHiii ■mana pHEADAMS : THEATRE ■ TODAY A Big Fox Special ‘•HOODMAN BLIND’’ A story of Life’s joys and borrows.

After a day of rest, the National league rivals will get buck at It today. The Giants start a three-game series with the floundering Phillies and

the Brooklyn Robins have a two-game date with the Boston Braves. The Giants can elnch the pennant by winning two of their remaining games. It is likely that they will do that.
