D. C. H. S. STARTS BASKETBALL SOON Sixteen Games On Schedule So Far; Two Football Games Yet Althnugb two more foothall games remain on the schedule for this season, Catholic high school athletes are already looking forward to the opening of the haskethall season. The season will open on December 4, in a game with Central Catholic high school of Fort Wayne, in that city. On the following night the locals will meet the Pennville high school hoys and girls in this city. There are sixteen games on. the schedule announced today hy Father Peters. If possible four more games will be added to the schedule. At present nine home games have been scheduled. Two games have been schetluled with Cathedral high of Indianapolis, and the locals are hoping to get revenge for the defeat suffered by the football team at Indianapolis last Saturday. The county teams to be played by Catholic High are Berne, Hartford township and Kirkland township. Basketball prospects are exception- I ally bright at the local institution this | year, as the team which has represented the school during the last two years is still intact. France Confer will coach the team again this season. Plans are being made to send the team to the National Catholic tournament at Chicago next spring, it is said. Following is the schedule as now arranged; Dec. 4—('. C. 11. S. of Fort Wayne, there. Doc. 5. —Pennville, (hoys and girls) here. Dec. 12 —Berne (boys and girls), here.

We imagine there are many gridders who are hoping the same, thing in larger quanities than we are. The annual Indiana-Purdue and Wabash-DePauw games will be played next Saturday and all Hoosierdoom wiii be awaiting the outcome. Those two games have become tra-[ ditional contests. The outcome of those two games never can be predicted with any degree of certainty. ' I j Paulding High will face a fightin’ 1 bunch of Irishmen when they meet ' Catholic High next Saturday. Tkey’re good and tired of being beaten and they are due to deliver a victory soon. (oach Confer is planning to start]' his 1925 lineup in the gam a against Paulding next Saturday. Four members of this year’s eleven will be graduated next spring. They are Captain Laurent. Christen, Holthouse i and Bob Voglewede. These men will] be greatly missed, but Coach Conter has several good substitutes who he can fill the holes with. The D. H. 8. alumni are not saying much, hut it is known that they are

doing a 10l of thinking and planning for the game with Catholic High hert ■ Thanksgiving Day. It ought to be n II great hat lie. The five players who played in the basketball game against Berne Frl- . day /light were excused by Coach ? Kennedy last night after they had had a little practice in goal shooting and signal practice. The second and third string players were given ; a lengthy workout, however. The entire squad will be worked hard dur--1 Ing the remainder of the week in prepartition for the game with Auburn Friday night. The team has a lot of weaknesses to correct before their next contest. Word from Bluffton states that the Phi Delta will he “loaded up" for their game with,the Leaders tonight. Nine players will be brought over in an attempt to defeat the Leaders. Although no names have been mentioned, its our guess that "Bia” Miller, former all-conference forward, will be with the Phi Delta. The Leaders will use their regular lineup. Bluffton has reserved fifty seats for the game tonight and more than 1 that many fans are expected to accompany the team. A great battle is expected. o GREAT INTEREST IN OPENING GAME Bluffton Phi Delts Reported To Be “Loading Up” For Leaders Basketball interest has mounted to fever heat over the opening game of the season for the Decatur Leaders against the Bluffton Piii Delts here tonight. Seldom is so much in I terest shown in the opening game of the season. A preliminary game between the Kirkland Midgets and Monroe Bearcats will start at 7:15 o’clock, and the big game will get under way at 8:15. Newell C. Day. of Fort Wayne, will referee the game Reports from Bluffton have it that the Phi Delts are “loading up” for the game. Nine players . will be brought to the game by the Phi Delts manager in an effort to win the game. Out of Bounds, basketball columnist in the Bluffton Banner, has the following to say about the game: “From all indications there will be a ‘whale’ of a crowd of basketball fans motor to Decatur Tuesday night to see the Phi Delts mix with the Decatur Leaders. The Leaders have a ‘loaded’ lineup, according to Wil- ■ lie. Decatur’s sideline booster, but the Phi Delts have also taken a few 1 extra precautions. Nine men will be in uniform and all of them have 1 proved worthy of the spurs in other years, so they will not be found easy by their opponents.” More than a hundred seats have 3 been reserved by the Decatur fans A block of fifty seats on the north side of the gym have been reserved for Bluffton. Decatur fans who have purchased season tickets and have not received them yet. may get them ar the door tonight. KENNEDY CUTS NET SQUAD TOIB I D. H. S. Coach Reduces Size Os Squad; Looks Into The Future Coach Kennedy yesterday cut the basketball souad at Decatur high school to eighteen players. The sqaud now consists of seven forwards, five and six guards. In reducing the squad to a size which will permit more atention to each player, the coach looked into the future with the' idea of developing material for next season besides turning out a first class tea this season. Several seniors who «were not quite as good as the first string players but possibly better than some of the freshmen and sohpomores on the squad were dropped in drder that the underclassmen jcould be benefitted by the coaching this year. The eighteen players who survived the pruning process were Captain I Miller ,Beal, Swearinger, Leonard. !|Zwick, Welker, and Brown, forwards; I j Andrews. Cline, Merriman, Bebout ‘i an( l Thomas, centers; Strickler. Mos- : er, Acker, Reynolds, Breiner and Dierkes, guards. The next game on the schedulp for > the locals is with Auburn here Fn- • day night. '

Harmeson is a particular-1 ly strong defensive player, and is the keystone of the Boilermarkers’ for- ! ward passing defense.

Ono’ Ipecflliar thing developed by’ the score records shows that neither team has been able to defeat the other more 1 'than five times In succession, l-'ront 1891 to 1898, Inclusive, Purdue defeated Indiana five straight times; front 1911 until 1915 inclusive, Purdue repeated the performance, and front H '1917 until this year, Indiana has scor- 1 ed four victories and engaged in one tie, and it will have an opportunity to 'raise this to five victories this year. By comparative scores the teams are about evenly matched this fall. I Indiana bits been defeated hv Chicago. Northwestern and Ixtuisiann and boasts n victory over Ohio State, in addition to early season wins over DePattw and Rose Poly. Purdue has wen from Northwestern but has lost to Ohio State and Chicago.

Judge Gordon Joins Law Firm At Bluffton A’liifiton, Nov. 18. —Announcement was made this afternoon that a law partnership had been formed of Frank ' W.

His library was mantained in the law office and it is merely his • returning home.” This partnership established one pt th ■ strongest law firms in this part of the state. Judge Gordon and for- j tner Judge Eichhorn are both able jurists. Gordon has proved an exceptionally good judge, living up to the standard and dignity that the Wells ciivitii court has always maintained. He followed Mr. Eichhorn on the bench. j —o i New Road Signs To Be Erected Near Berne I \ l.trne, Nov. 18 —Mr. Hutchinson, of] the Hoosier State Automobile Associa tion and district organizer, came to i’crr.e Friday of last week at which time delivered ten metal signs and angle iron posts and two extra good signs for railroad crossings. The signs were furnished by the assoc lation free of charge, and it is u|t to th ■ townsmen to install them at the most necessary place as regards both ; the welfare of Berne as well £iS the , Promotion of public favor for the ■ .Hoo ier State Auto Association. The - signs are of a good readable size with b the name “Berne" printed within a t large arrow directing traffic to Berne -|and pointing the way for tourists.

These signs as has already been Mat-1 ed are durably constructed and should be placed along principal roads lead-1 Ing to Berne and at a point of not a I gnat distance front neighboring] towns and cities. - Call 136 for Taxi.
