During the second period Bluffton continued to gain points; and with only ten minutes remaining to play had a 25 to 17 lead.

Warren substitute, heaved in his only basket to put Warren ahead 32 to 31 as time was up. Field Goals By Mark M. Upp Decatur teams turned in a right decent week-end's work. The Pennville Bull Dogs wore their claws down considerably scratching out the Yellow Jackets stingers, also. The Catholic High eagers made a pretty favorable impression in Huntington. The Huntington Press, in the story of the Catholic High game with St. Marys High Friday night says: “The Decatur team was the strongest that the St. Marys team has met this year, and several observers declared that it was much better than most public high school outfits." And St. Marys has played C. C. H. S. this season, too. The Bluffton Tigers are playing
