Referee: Day. o Fort Wayne Central High Suspended From LH.S.A.A. Fort Wayne. Nov 26—The Indiana' High School Athletic association caused Central high school, of this city, to be suspended from the association until January 15. and to forfeit four football games as the result of having used two inelig ble men in ; these games. The players are Rome Zink and Thurl Todd. The players were ineligible due to the ruling that states that students whose parents do not reside in the city in which they are playing are ineligible to play. Fred H. Croning er, principal states that he did not know of the players' ineligibility dur- [ ing the time they participated, and that as soon as he learned of :',t they were removed from the squad. The suspension from the association will seriously interfere with the Blue and White basketball schedule, as lit will prevent them from meeting members of the association until January 15. The Ccntralites have, been practicing on the hardwood for| some time and were looking forward ' to a most successful season. Sjt games will be affected by the suspension, and unless they book games j with nonmembers of the association, local fans will have no chance to see them in action until January 16, when they meet Young America at South “ Side gym. |[ Decatur high school had a basketball game scheduled with Ft. Wayne 5 Central to be played in Fort Wayne - on December 12. The Central team f is scheduled to play in this city on i' January 10. Suspension of l Central | leaves the date of December 12 open ■ on the Decatur schedule. I ■ — o— I Our Boys Play Dunkirk A. C. Team Thursday 1 | Portland, Ind., Nov. 26.—The Port- I land Our Boys realized an ambition sought by many, but attained by few, when they defeated the Day Dodgers, campus champions of Notre Dame University, by the score of 7 to 0, last Sunday. Playing a stellar game in every way they fought a hard fight throughout the game and held the

college boys scoreless mid tit the time launched an offensive attack al the beginning of the fourth quarter I that gave them a touchdown and v.eI tory. I On Thursday afternoon they meet an old rival an da worthy opponent is the Dunkirk A (Vs. The game will ' be played at Mast Field. Portland, and | will start at two o’clock. The Dim- 1 I kirk team has been strengthened by 'the addition of some Hartford City players and also Smith, a speedy halfback from Miami University. A large 'crowd of rooters will accompany the team. I The Our Boys will have the same lineup that won over Notre Dame with the addition of Kenneth Ferris, ' of Earlham College playing halfback position. Field Goals By Mark M. Upp Thirty-eight points won another game for the Leaders, this time by a wider margin than when they played the Bluffton Phi Delts. Auburn found out they weren't playing the Van Wert Y. M. C. A. last night. They scored 72 points against Van Wert but 19 was all they could muster last night. Auburn has games scheduled with Earlham Col- ] lege. Michigan Aggies and several other strong teams. Kirkland will seek revenge tonight when the Red and Blue quintet stacks up against Chester Center city. Chester beat the K. 11. S. eagers in the first game of the season, but it is a far different team that is wearing the Red and Blue now. After disposing of Chester tonight, the Kirkland five will visit the city, again Friday night in an effort to i duplicate the feat accomplished lastl spring when the Red and Blue team licked Decatur high in the sectional . tournament at Portland. A big crowd. | including scores of Kirkland township fans is expected to witness the game. Hurrah, Bluffton high gets credit for a football victory during the season just closed. Fort Wayne Central vv.is suspended from the J. n. S. A. A.! ,for playing two ineligible men and i the games played with Bluffton and > < olumbia City, which were won by , Central, were forfeited to the other' schools.
