S. girls dropped a hard-fought and interesting game to the Garrett lassies by the scorn of 20-14. The Garrett girls have a speedy team. They have lost few games this season and the Decatur girls made a good showing in holding them to the close score. Garrett took the lead in the first half and led 6-4 at the rest period. The Decatur girls started a rally in the second half and forged ahead, 12-10. The visitors then fought back and tied the count.

Three victories out of I four games. Fourteen, absolutely FOURTEEN 1 straight for Catholic high and still a'straightin’. And its five straight for the Yellow Jackets and still a’straightin’. If the Yellow Jackets travel at Winchester tonight like they did her? last night, they will have their sixth straight victory recorded by the time the Sunday comic sections make their appearance. The mighty Passiac his fallen. We imagine there were many tears shed in the New Jersey hamlet last night when the final gun cracked, spoiling that perfect string of victories which I totalled 159. It was a fine record and one which will go down In basketball history as one of the major ; aeh evements in the game. The Yellow Jackets’ defense was weak in spots last night and they should remedy that branch of their play before tournament time. There was a pleased expression on Coach Kennedy's face during most of the game last night, but when the visit- ■ ors occasionally pulled out the local I guards for a short shot, a frown crept over the coach’s face. Strickler had an off night in foul shooting last night, although the rest of his play was far above the ordinary. The big boy only counted four points in eleven chances from the charity mark. Wabash college took Yranklin last night like Grant took Richmond. Vandiver was missing from the Baptists’ lineup, but we hardly believe 1 his preseqee would have offset the difference in the score. Lancaster and Kirkland meet at the old gymnasium here tonight in an important game. Lancaster, Wells county champs, hold i one victory over Kirkland this season and the Adams county iads are out. for revenge. A comparison between Lancaster and the Adams county teams may : i be learned from this game. Lancaster is expected to play in the sectional tourney here. ', Berne went big last night and had

Garrett has one of the best bunches of real sportsmen on their squad that the Yellow Jackets have played this season. The Garret boys are real hosts and excellent guests. They are good winhers and good losers. Throughout the game here last night, not a one of them crabbed and they took all decisions and breaks of tne game like real sportsmen.

PASSIAC IS STOPPED Hackensack, N. J., Feb. 7,-“Af-ter six years of uninterrupted victories the Passiac, N. J., high school basketball team has been defeated The winning team was from Hackensack high, where coaches and athletes have been trying to brew a poison for their marvelous neighbors slnci the Passiac string of victories began in March, 1919. The score was 39 to 35. If Passaci had won, the game would have been the one hundred and sixtieth victory for the teams that began their remarkable record under th> coaching of Ernest A. lood. Biood no longer is coaching Passaic. He quit after a disagreement with school authorities last season. Passaic started off as usual in the first quarter and led to 10 to 6 at the end of the period. Then Hackensack went to work on the rival basketteers and under the leadership of Captain Howard Ballerman at center finished the second quarter one point in the lead. Score: 18 to 17. During the second half Hackensack continued to pile up more points than could the widely heralded champion quintet. 5 field goals, but -Meyers had failed on four attemps from the foul line while Boniface made good the only free throw minted St. Patricks during the half. Accurate goal shooting by Holthouse kept the Decatur lads in the race during the first half. In the second half Meyers got going and scored three field goals and four free throws, while Captain Vog-ji-wede sank a field goal. Field goals by McCarthy and Boniface and two free throws by McCarthy accounted for the six points made by St. Patricks during the last period. McCarthy was put out of the game via the four personal Soul route in the last half. Coach Confer started Art Volow.edat back guard last night in the place of “Tubby" Gas who has been sick part of the wook. However. "Tubby" resumed his old position before the first half was over and finished the game. No other substitutions were made by Coach Confer. Catholic High has no game scheduled for next week. Feb. 19 the locals will go to Huntington to play the SS. Peter and Paul team and on February 23. the St. John’s Catholic high school team of Unia, Ohio will play the grei a elad eagers in this city.
