Upp * > Its seven straight for the Y tl.'ow Jackets and still a'stralghtin. It won’t be still a'straightin -hough unless the said Yellow Jackets show about 100 per cent improvement over their play of last night. Coach Kennedy was singing a parody on the song. ”1 wonder what's I become of Sally' last night, it was ‘I wonder what's lie win- r.t try basketball team.' We can't help but feel sorry for the Portland eagers. They have lost no less than eight games just like they lost the one last night—when their opponents rallied in the last minutes. Every man on the team i* a fighter and they play

good ball. The jinx seems to be following them. About the (inly bright spot in last night's entertainment was the top 1 1 heavy score the D II S. girls ran up on the Portland lie:'li-,<. ’ < 1 At last wi‘ have word from Mr. Trester that Lancaster and Ossian are the Wells county teams that will play in the sectional tourney hero.

The Journal Gazette said the Central Tigers won easily. Well, I maybe they won easy enough, but a four-point margin isis’t so comfortable. Central no doubt was saving up some strength for the game with South Side tonight, but Coach Kennedy saved some of the Yellow Jackets' strength for the Winchester game w’hen Garrett played here last Friday night, and then Decatur won 44 to 33. Bluffton's Tigers beat their old rival, Liberty Center last night, 24 to 21. We suppose Bluffton sees victory ahead in the sectional tourney now at Montpelier, since Lancaster comes to ' Decatur.

Early in the sea ion ’ Ihe Yellow J.okels played Iwo practice names with Kirkland and later . ii was h-;.nnd that those contests ■ counted ar regular games. As each ■ player i- permitted to play in only j twenty games during the Coach Kennedy hat had to keep his first itriie players out of some of the games in order tli.it they tnuj^lneligible |jir the louitZioeni. The Yellow .Rickets showed a com- ■ plete reversal of form over their last live or six games and their play was ragged last night. They failed to guatd and their trasses many times went straight into a Portland player's hand . Their shots were wild and. in fact, there were no bright spots in , their playing. On the other hand Portland played probably their best game of the season, according to one of the Portland players. Brubaker, star forward lor Hie Jay County lads, sank seven field goals and time free throws during the game. The locals won the game with a field goal in the last minute of play, niter Portland had led from early in the first half. Portland has lost several games in hist minute rallies this season. The Portland team plaj < good baslyetball and local fans are wondering why they have failed to win a game this season. Captain Miller scored a field goil from the Yellow Jackets soon after the game started.. Then Miller sank a flee throw, putting Decatur ahead, i 3 (1. Brubaker sank his first field goal and Miller scored again from the foul line. Portland then got busy, tied ihe score and took a lead of S-4. The scoring continued fairly even for the remainder of the hair, which ended with the visitors leading. 16-13. The Yellow Jackets tied the store at 16- ' ..11 early in the see«nd half and the fans had hopes that they would get going, but Portland kept fighting and soon took the lead ag tin. The second half was more than half gone when Brubaker "got hot" again and caged three field goals u a row;, giving F inland a !e;:d of 21 Io 19. With six minutes loft to play, Com I K .me !v (-.in.t , hap Hem Andrews into th® game. This appeared to put a little pep irtto the Yellow Jm-kets, al though they continued to play listlessly. Strickler scored a free throw, wi:en he was fouled on an under-the-basket shot. Portland ran the score to 27-20. Here the locals rallied. Andrews sank a field goal from under the m t- Milllcr cage ! a free throw and a pretty field coal from the side.
