Girls Win, 4R-S Decatur high school’s fighting Yellow Jackets continued their winning pace Saturday night and tronneed the Winchester high school eagers at Winchester, the final score being 43 to 17. The Decatur high school girts also turned in a one-sided victory over the Winchester game, winning the preliminary game by a score of 48 to 8. In the first game of the evening, the Decatur girls greatly outclassed the Winchester lassies. The winners took an early lead and were never threatened. Coach Kennedy started Swearinger and Strickler at forward, Andrews at center, and Miller and Moser at guards against the Randolph county lads. The Yellow Jackets took an early lead and soon were far ahead of their opponents. The first half ended 25 to IJ. During the second half Coach Kennedy used several sub-' stitutes, but each combination seem-, ed to be effective and the scoringj continued. Eleven Yellow Jackets. saw service in the game. Real, who' sprained an ankle in the Van Wert game a week ago, played a few minutes at Winchester and got around in good shape. He caged one field goal during the short time he was in the game. Joe Bebout, who substituted for Andrews and Iz-onard, sub for Strickler, each scored from the field.

Upp v / Six straight for the Y'ellow Jackets and still a'straightin’. Portland Panthers come to town next Friday night. The Panthers don't have a very enviable record for this season, ikit tho Yellow Jackets) won’t dare tease them or they may cause trouble. Yog can't tell when they’re going to cut loose and win a ' game. Tomorrow night is a big night for Adams county net fans. The mighty Caseys journey down from Fort Wayng to do battle with the Decatur Leaders. The game should be well worth traveling several miles to see. A fair-minded sport tan in Berne told us Saturday that he couldn't blame Decatur "fans and players for getting ‘'huffy" over the treatment the Leaders received in the game with the Berne A. C. five at Berne, recently. He said the official in that • game was inefficient and that fact was clearly proven in the DecaturBerne high school game a week previous to the Leader game. We're not huffy, hut we do like a square deal, and we honor the Berne fan for ad- - mitting that everything was not right in the Leader-A. C. game. Berne fans in general don't like that stuff, either. A Portland paper, in writing ( up the Portland-Bluffton high school game of last Friday night says, “The Portland high school X
