leaders pile UP BIG SCORE r- I I’ennsy Team Offers Little Ouposition And Locals 1 Win, 59-13 The Pennsylvania railway shop team from Fort Wayne furnished tittle opposition for the Decatur Lead- , basketball team at the high school grnmasium last night and the barters romped to a one-sided victory, ucore 56 10 1S - About thp only thrlll in the game for the large crowd of tans was the basket-shooting done during the last half by the Leaders. Only two of the visiting players were former Berne stars, they being Whiteman, backgtttird. and Claude Clark, center. Juday, the Olympic star, was on the sidelines, but did not play. Three field goals anti seven free throws constituted all the scoring done by the visitors. The first half ended 15-S. the locals leading. Many easy shots had gone astray during the opening period and ' the locals were playing loosely. As-1 ter the second half started, the Lead ' ers started bombarding the basket ' and they were dropping them in from all angles and distances when the game ended. Mendenhall, the former DePauw ace. collected a total of eleven field goals, before he was sent to the showers, his job well done. Rills, who teamed at forward with Mendenhall last night, sank eight goals from the field and three from the foul line. Oliver had tough luck shooting in the first half but got the correct range in the second period and sank three markers. Andrews, who entered The game late in the second half, sank three two-pointers, and Kennedy dropped in one beauty from long range. Crist played a beautiful game at back guard last night. The Leaders are assured of plenty of opposition next Tuesday night when the fast Kokomo Phi Dells come here for a game at the high school gym. The Kokomo quintet hotus a victors- over the speedy Muncie .Merchants who won a 35-32 decision over thhe Leaders here a week ago.

<<A«nt. The Rexalls had the exalted' Caneys down under a 21-17 count' with five minutes left to play, but failed to hold the margin. Looks like the Caseys were due for some good drubbings when they stack up against the ng professional teams of the country. A Chicago sport writer says the Big Ten race will he between Wisconsin, lowa, and Ohio State. He doesn’t even count Indiana and Purdue In the running. Well, maybe he's right. At any rate, we think we will adopt the suggestion of a columnist in the Indiana Daily Student and make no predictions about the sue<ess of the two Hoosier Big Ten entrants this season and see if that will change their luck. — —-o — Bluffton Phi Belts Beat Hartford City Bluffton, Dec. 10—The Bluffton Phi Delts defeated the Hartford City Phi Delta here last night by the score of 29 to 25 in an interesting battle.

Dec. 10.—Tom Gibbons proved himself the best light heavy in the world last night in (Madison Square Garden when he stopped Kid Norfolk in 55 seconds of the sixth round of a scheduled 15 round contest that was staged for the Christmas fund. I Gibbons not only established himsqlf as the most perfect fighter of his weight, but he earned a return bout with Jack Dempsey for the heavy weight championship. "That's my riext big bout. Dempsey and Gibbons. Gibbons has signed and I can get Dempsey," Tex Rickard said today. I From the first punch of the fight a hard left hand which Gibbons landed to Norfolk's head, it was only a question of the number of rounds that Norfolk would lose. The exhibition of boxing skill and accurate punching that Gibbons gave was declared by veteran boxing men to have been one of the most perfect they had ever seen and it aroused to

'a frenzy a crowd of 12,000 that paid $107,599. Gibbons was out for more than a victory over Norfolk. He wanted to prove that he had a just claim to a. return bout with the heavyweight champion after staying 15 rounds with him last year in Shelby. And he dill that very thing.
