The locals were masters of the situation from start to finish ami were never in danger. The first half ended 18-6. The Kokomo players drove to this ( city last night and were an hour late in arriving, owing to the dense fog. Coach Kennedy's high school Yellow Jackets entertained the crowd of i fans for about and hour and a half while waiting for the Kokomo team , to arrive. The Yellow Jacket varsity was going great last night anil completely swamped the second team. Mendenhall put the locals in the lead shortly after the initial tipoff with a pretty field goal, Four foul goals kept the visitors in the running for the first few minutes, but soon the locals pulled away frotn I their opponents. The game was rather rough during the last few minutes. Crist. Leader back guard was put out on four personal fouls and John Moore, of Monroe, was subsituted.

Upp Tip Offs, of Bluffton, chirps in with the following: “We haven't heard Decatur singing any songs about their Yellow Jackets this year. Guess thy're wondering how they can beat the Tigers of Bluffton high here December 26.” No, Tippy, we're not putting the Yellow Jackets in the class with Frankfort, Muncie. Vincennes and several other leaders, but we're not worrying much about that little engagement on December 26. either. The crowd of fans at the Leader-' Kokomo Phi Delt game last night showed the poorest sportsmanship of any Decatur crowd this season. Some fans seem to think that the only way to enjoy a game and be a regular fan is to continually razz tho visiting
