D.H.S. TO OPEN SEASON NOV. It Berne First Team On Sched ule; Prospects Bright This Year The 1924-25 model of the Decatur high school basketball team will make its initial appearance on the hardwood here on Friday night, November 14. according to the complete schedule for the season, which has just been made public by Principal Walter W. Krick. The Berne high school eagers will furnish the opposition of the opening night. The girls teams from the two schools will play the preliminary games that evening. The boys and girls teams of D. H. S. have a schedule of twenty games each. Coach Maurice Kennedy /4s coaching the boys’ team and Miss Helen Dugan is coaching the girls. The Decatur girls will probably have their two hardest games first, as they meet Berne and Auburn in the first two games and those two schools have strong girls' teams. Coach Kennedy has been working hard with D. H. S. boys for several weeks. Several members of the basketball squad are also members of ♦he football squad and they have been unable to attend basketball practices regularity. However, Coach Kennedy has a fine lot of valuable material besides the football players and he already has a team shaped out. Indications are that D. H. S. will

have a fast team this season, in spite of the fact that five regulars were graduated last spring. There is a wealth of reserve strength this season and every member of the squad will have a hard fight to land a regular berth on the first team. Captain Miller is playing football and has been unable to take part in much of the basket ball practice. 1 Players who are showing up well in the early practices are Merriman, mosure, Strickler. Beal. Welker, and T>>e. Football players who will soon he on the squad regularity and who are expected to shoy up strong are: Captain Miller. Andrews. Acker. Leonard. Briener, Swearinger. Bebout, Reynolds. Zwick and Brandyberry. The schedule calls, for games with several strong teams, including Ft. Fort Wayne Central. Columbia City, JBluffton. .Portland. Kendaileifl • Angola, Auburn, and Garrett. Berne, an Kirkland are the only Adams county teams on the Yellow Jackets schedule. The schedule is as follows: Nov. 14. —Berne boys and girls at Decatur.

vivo Is Kellogg’s office that a contract had been drawn up for a basketball game it between Purdue and Franklin. It will be held in Memorial gymn•s asipm, December 19. Franklin’s wonder fire, which has met and decisive,t ly defeated many conference quintets has never met a <1 team, and the filiation which the announcement made can be imagined. It is certain that the game will be » one of the features of the early t Hoosier collegiate basketbail card this winter. Lambert’s squad some t members of which have already been working out, will get down to work in t earnest at the end of the football season, and Lambert’s task is one of t the biggest he has even faced here. Replacing men of the caliber of I Blair Guiliion, all conference center, and George Spradling, high point man

of last year’s big ten are jobs big enough to give most any coach a few sleepless nights. LEADERSWJY BLUFFTON NOV. 18 'Strong Additions Made To Local Independent Basketball Team Independent basketball will start ' off with a bang in Decatur on Tuesday night, November 18, when the De-

How To End a Cough Quickly Specialists say to actually end a cough in the shortest possible time the medicine should not only soothe and heal the soreness and irritation, but should also loosen and remove the phlegm and congestion which are the real cause of the coughing. When this is done the worst cough quickly disappears. This ‘•double-action” method has been brought to perfection in the prescription known as Dr. King 3 New Discovery for Coughs. A few drops stop the coughing spoils almost instantly, and people who have hardly bven able to sleep at night for coughing usually get their full night's rest even after the first doses. It has been very successful, tuu, fur children’s spasmodic croup, for bronchitis, laryngitis, bronchial asthma and hoarseness. C’h sale at ail good druggists. Ask for I • I».ih&WJNi' iSCOVE R YZZ3
