An eu t-lrdy different i>catur team from the one that started the game was on the floor when the game ended, Coach Kennedy giving ten players a rha.n<* to show thMr warwi. The high school girls had little difficulty in defeating the General electric girls in a preliminary panic, the final score being 32 to 12. Part of the game was played under hoys’ rules and part under girl's rules. Th? high school lassies were much stronger when playing tinder the girls’ rules, to which they are accustomed In the feature game of the evening Decatur got uway to an early lead when Heal sank two field goal; and Captain Miller and Andrews eaged one each, while Kendallville was counting four points on field goals by Henry and J.lbey. The Yellow Jackets forged ahead to a 12-5 lead. Henry, the Kendallvilles tar. then got busy ami caged throe more field goals and I.ibey scored four times from the foul line, putting Kendallville back in the running. With the score standing 16-14 in favor of the locals, Milh-r fouled Schreiber and ho counted two points front the free throws, tying the score just as the half ended. The Yellow Jackets started out with a vengeance at the opening of the second period and soon ran their score up to 28 points while Kendallville failed to score. Strickler sank a two-pointer, Andrews caged two pretty ones, and Miller dropped in one. Kendallville took time out to talk it over. When play was resumed Strickler and Miller scored front the field again. Beal counted two points on Lybargi-r's personal and Andrews and Strickler scored from the field With the score standing 34 to ](>. Coach Kennedy sent in Reynolds. Dierkes and Bobout for Strickler. Miller, Moser and I Andrews. Only about five minutes were left to play when the visitors scored their first point of the half on a technical foul called on P,ebout. Swearinger sulijitittiled for Beal. Reynolds sank a beautiful field goal from long range and Haynes ended the scoring with a long field goal for' Kendallville. The Yellow Jackets exhibited the best playing they have shown this season. Their teamwork and passing was good and their defensive play. was about all that could be desired. There were no outstanding stars and ■ the scoring honors were well divided.'
