Pennville high school's Ball Dogs will invade Decatur tomorrow night tor the second time this season, this time to play the Yellow Jackets. The Bull Dogs dropped a hard fought hattie to the Cathol'c high school quintet here two weeks ago by a score of 19-18. Coach Kennedy has been working the Yellow Jackets hard during the last two weeks since the Portland game, U-hlch was won by the locals. The team was idle last week-end, due to the tancellation of the game with Central high of Fort Wayne.

Captain Miller has been shifted from forward to floor guard and Strickler moved up to forward. Beal is teaming with Strick ler at forward and Moser is holding down the backguard job.

Upp / «■ / The Pluffton Phi Delts continued their winning streak Tuesday night bv defeating the fast Hartford City Pill Delts at Hartford City, 38-27. Gullion. star center on the Purdue University quintet last winter, made nine field goals for the Hartford City five. The Leaders play Hartford City here next Tuesday night and it should be a real game. Tip Offs of Bluffton says: "It | seems that the Decatur Leaders are keeping pace with the Bluffton Fhi Delts in the race this year. Decatur beat the Kokomo team last evening . and they have been doing some good i work this year. The Leaders will play here in about two weeks. Bluff-1 ton's gymnasium will not hold all the fans at that game.” Murray Best, who writes "In the Press Box," in the Kokomo Tribune, has been tongue lashing the Kokomo Wildcats this week for being "cocky” after defeating the Frankfort team a week ago last Friday. He blames the head swelling for the Wild Ca's’ defeat at the hands of Muncie last Friday night. Observin' 'em in the Marion Lead-er-Tribune is devoting much space in his column this week to the Wabash Thom Cats, expressing his belief and hopes that they will beat Hartford City Friday night. He must be sorry for them after the Marion Purple breeze beat them 70-21 last week. Will the Yellow Jackets sting the

ißull Dogs? We thing so. I I Catholic High can get a little dope • on the strength of ('. C. 11. S. Friday • night when the Green and Gold “ quintet meets St. Marys high at Hutlngton. C. C. beat St. Marys in the first ganie of the season. The Gold and Green eagers should win Friday night by ten points. Fanny Fanette Bays about the only :• difference between Decatur of today e and Decatur of a few years ago is e that they used to turn in at 9 o’clock t ami now they tune in at nine. e—- — With Captain Miller and Beal back '• in the lineup and with the advantage t> of two weeks of strenguous practice* 1 the Yellow Jackets will show somej s real basketball against Pennville t here Friday night. f| . o i Trester Sets Forth New Basketball Rulings 1 i A. L. Trester, permanent secretary ' of the Indiana High School Athletic ! Associations, sets forth new rulings. ! practice games between high school ! teams which were handed down by the board of control. '• The new ruling reads as follows: "Practice games between schools and teams other than intro-school teams were held to be games and as such were bound by the rules of the I. H. S. A. A. and that the rule that all tourneys other than state tournaments should be held before February 1 applies to tourneys within the state.” Sectional track meets will be held on May 1 at various centers to be chosen later, it was announced, and the state track field meet will be held I on Saturday, May 23. 1925. Kirkland Plays At Rockcreek Friday Night With six victories out of seven to their credit. the Kirkland high school eagers will journey to Rockcreek high school in Wells county Friday night, where they will meet the team from that school. Rockcreek was one of the three schools that defeated Kirkland last season and the Wells county lads have one of the strongest teems in that county this year. Last Friday night they downed Lancaster, the only undefeated team in Wells county prior to that date, by a large margin. Indications are that the game next Friday night will be a thriller. The Kirkland seconds and girls' team will play the Rockcreek seconds and girls' team in the preliminary games. —o Leaders Go To Muncie For Game Monday Night The Decatur Lenders will go to Muncie next Monday night to play a return game with the fast Muncie Merchants. The Merchants land the Leaders their only defeat of the season so far when the two teams ( met here a few weeks ago. The score of that game was 35-32. and the contest was the best one seen on the local floor this season. On next Tuesday night the Leaders will play the Hartford City Phi Delts in the high school gym here. The Hartford City team is composed of high class caging stars, including "Slim" Gullion. star center on Purdue University team last winter. CATHOLIC HIGH I TEAMS ABROAD Boys’ Team Plays In Huntington: Girls Team To Fort Wayne ! The Catholic high school basketball team will go to Huntington Friday night to play the St. Marys Catholic high school team of that eity. The locals were victorious over their Huntington opponents last year and they are out to repeat this season. The Huntington team usually is composed of husky eagers of no mean ability and a hard game is expected. Encouraged by three straight victories and no defeats so far this season. Coach Conter’s eagers are determined to make it four straight wins. They showed good form in defeating Berene here last Friday night by a score of 36-9. The D. C. H. S. girls' team scheduled to play the St. Augustine girls' team at Fort Wayne tomorrow night. • The Catholic High girls have been less successful than the boys' team, the lassies having lost to the Berne s girls last Friday night after defeat-
