They have defeated (ho |bi st in northern, central ami southlorn Indiana in their division. If there arc any challengers lot them he hoard Now comes the announcement that the tteachers and preachers will play their first game of the season on Friday night, February 27. Two games will be played this year. Everyone , knows what fun the teacher-preacher games are, even if the teachers and preachers do think they are real exhibitions of real basketball playing. The Yellow Jackets face a worthy foe In G.u-rctt Friday night. The Dekalb county champions have been going good Intel yarn! have defeated Auburn twice within the last two weeks. Auburn holds two victories over <he Yellow Jackets and Garrett won the first game played with the Yellow Jackets this year, so the dope is heavily in favor of Garrett. Rut there's no reason why the Yellow Jackets should pot take a healthy kick at the dope bucket and mark the Friday night game up on the credit side of the ledger. Good, broad, conscientious playing by the members of the team, and that old time honest-to-goodness rooting by the fans will turn the truck. But win or lose, lets .be good sports and DON' TCRAB. r After disposing of the Garret game on Friday night the Yellow Jackets will journey down the G. R. & I. to Winchester Saturday for a game witli the Randolph county eagers Saturday night. Winchester must not be taken too lightly for a hard game may be expected. Just courting informs us that his Thom Cais were chewed up by tin Peru Tigers Saturday night to the (tune of 22 to 21.

After giving several paragraphs to the Fort Wayne teams, which is all proper, he. jumps way down into the central and southern part of the state and tells us all about the game down there. To rend his column no one would know there were teams in Auburn. Kendalvllle. Garrett. Bluffton. Huntington. Columbia City, Decatur, Portland and the other "small towns., around Fort Wayne. We’re forced to admit that as a rule the teams in the central and southern part of the state have been superior to those up here but we're here to tell the world that there are jiasketbull teams hereabouts. .

Last year the trenchers triumphed over the teachers sci the fit. . time. They are anxious to keep on the winning side and already have been practicing for several weeks, in anticipation of the coming battles. The preachers meet at 'ha gymnasium ’tiring the afternoons and take lengthy workouts and the few who have hecn privileged to see the ministers in action say they may pull a surprise when they meet the teachers. The preachers' linetip has been strengthened recently by the addition of Rev. Fledderjohann, the new pa stor of the Zion Jleformed church, who is reported to be a cag> ing start of no mean ability. The teachers are ontimistic over the games with their preach- r opponents this year and believe they will win both contests. ’ They will be weakened in the opening game, however. through, the absence of Coach Maurice Kennedy, who will take the high school team to Columbia City lor a game on that night. The admission prices for the games will bo ten cents for school children and twenty-five cents for adults. o Leaders Meet Berne A. C. Quintet Here Tonight The Decatur Leaders and the Berne 1 A.
