--- I 11 LEADERS DEFEAT MONTPELIER FIVE Locals Play Good Basketball And W in Interestin Game, 36-18 With th*ir offense working smoothly and their defense holding firm, the D-atur Leader* had little difficulty in defeating the fast Montpelier K. of P. quintet at the high schools gymnasium here Ix’t night, the final score being 26 to 18. The first half ended 22 9. The game was fast and interesting throughout. The leaders showed much better Mm work last night than they have exhibited for several games. They passed the ball in great fashion and worked it through the strong defense of the visitors for many short shots. Montpelier had a bunch of caging stars in their lineup last night, including the best that Bluffton and ’ Hartford City has to offer. Gullion, 1 former I’urdue star and a member of the Huntington Legion and Hartford City Phi D*lt teams this year, played floor guard for Montpelier last night. Bob Cummins, veteran center on the Bluffton Phi Delt team and a member of the Huntington I-egion team, played center. Meyers, and laindis.. also members of the Bluffton quintet. | played with Montpelier. Sills and Me Geath completed the visitors lineup. Murray Mendenhall, with four field goals and three free throws. Tabby ( Andrews, with five field goals, were' high point men of the game. Claude Clark and Oliver played strong on the offensive and Kennedy did fine work at back guard. Mark Bills refereed the game and he did a fine job. 1 His work pleased the fans and play-J ers. 11 The Laedcrs will go to Auburn to- ' night to play a return game with the • Auburn Y. M. C. A. team.

Marks Bills, who refereed the Lead-';: ers-Montpelier game last night, prov-!t ed to be as popular as an official as a ) player. Mark prevented all rough j stuff and kept the game moving. He'] is mighty popular with Decatur fans i and all deeply regret that his injur- i ed knee is keeping him out of. the I game. ( Just Courting, of Wabash, Is begin- i ning to act as though these many consecutive defeats are getting under bis hide. The Whbash Thom Cats last j their eighth consecutive game Satur-' day night when Fairmount beat them 47-20. Here’s some extracts from Just Courting’s column on Monday. •‘The bunch doesn't know basketball, it can t keep the ball, knows no tactics. and when the basketball does touch their hands they don’t know what to do with it.” "Our throat's! raw from singing the Wabash Pdv.es." "Why on earth it it that Wabash can sweep other teams off their feet on ' the gridiron and act like a bunch of clowns in a basktball game." "This losing business is getting to be a folly, the biggest farce in Indiana basketball circles. IT MT’ST BE STOPPED." The above is only part of Just Courting’s carryings on. If he doesn’t restrain himself soon, they’ll be call-

ing him Just Snort.ng ■ The gaiue between Kendallville and Columbia City last Saturday night ' must have been exciting. Twelve Imlnutes elapsed before .-i/li.-r frown ! ".cored.

FANNY I’ANETTE SAYS EVERYBODY WAS SO DOWN HEARTED laT MARION THE OTHER NIGHT AFTER ANDERSON HAD SPOILED THE MARION WINNING STREAK THAT YOU COULD HEAR THE BASKET-BAWL. The basketball schedule for this I week provides for fewer games in | this city.

There has been too much basketball lately an a little rest will do the fans and t.amo good. Kirkland will play Berne at Berne Friday night. The titie, "The Five Horsemen" is crowding the overworked moniker, "Wonder Five” into the background. Wonder what will be next. I o— Portland High School Grid Card Announced i Portland.

Jan. 14 —(Special to Daily j Democrat) — Tonight probably will , see the crisis in the dispute between , Major' Thornton A. Mil’s, pastor of j the aristocratic New England Con- , gregational church, and those of his j congregation who object to his invi- . | tation to down and outers to come to ! j their place of worship. Tonight the , I congregation, at its annual meeting, ‘ is expected to vote whether to retain Rev. Mills or not. 1 The dispute is between the wealthy conservatives of the church who assert that it is not the duty of their pastor to go out into "the highways and byways" and recruit sinners, radicals and liberals. Major Mills said he would resign if a majority of the congregation voted against him. Under the rules Ihe cannot be ousted save when charges are filed and proven. The elders are prepared to do this if ■ necessary, it was made known. Unable To Find Body Os Man Killed On Long’s Peak (UNITED PItESS SERVICR) Denver, Col.. Jan. 14—(Special to I

How many should the parents of growing l>oys and girls be, when now they are not compelled to bring up their families with such temptations. You say the law is broken! Not by those without the appetite or those who honestly are trying to overcome it or those who love tlieir country enough to be loyal to its laws. The Christian Temperance Union has no police power, but their mission is to educate against all evil, trying to create a public sentiment for the enforcement of all good laws and we rejoice when, our officers live up 4o their pledge. They will always have the support of the W. C. T. U. composed of the Christian women from most of the Protestant churches of the community."
