YELLOW JACKETS DEFEAT STURGIS Down Champs Os Southern Michigan, 18-22; Seconds Defeat Monroe Decatur htyh school’s Yellow Jackets played one of their best if not their host name of the season last njght nnd as a result, the speedy quintet front Sturgis. Michigan, champions of southern Michigan, was defeated on the locai floor, by a score of 48’to 22. The invaders from the Wolverine state were unable to cope with the speed and ability of Coach Kennedy’s eagers last night and they trailed throughout, never even threatening to tie the scorn. It was the eighth straight victory for Decatur. The Central school eighth grade team started the hall to rolling yesterday evening by defeating the Bluffton eighth graders in a preliminary game by the score of 16 to 14 The Yellow Jacket Hopefuls brought more joy to local fans when they showed class in trouncing the Monroe high school first team in the second game of the evening, by a score of 29 to 10. The Yellow Jackets’ lopsided victory over the Sturgis quintet was a pleasant, surprise to Decatur fans. Everybody expected it to be a hard fought game and many were skeptical ns to the outcome. Sturgis had lost only one game before last night's encounter, that defeat coming at the hands of Fort Wayne Central at Fort Wayne by a fourteen point margin. However, soon after the opening tip off, there was little doubt as to the outcome. Captain Miller, playing his last regular scheduled game for Decatur high school on the home floor, put his team in the load shortly after the start of the game with a pretty field goal from short range. “Christmas" Andrews, also playing his last game for D. H. S. on the homo floor, followed suit with a pretty field goal. Beal dribbled in for a field goal. Then Miller scored two more times from the field and Beal once more, making the score stand 12 0. Clemons broke the ice for Sturgis jvhen ho counted a free throw on Miller’s personal. Miller sank another field guai and then Sturgis dropped in a field goal. Beal was on the scoring end of a tip off play, making the count stand 16 2 and Strickler scored a free throw. Sturgis took time out. Beal dropped in another field goal and Sturgis made three free throws. Clemons dropped in a long field goal and Narlker followed suit. Miller and Clemons scored field goals, making the score stand, 22-12. The visitors scored another point on Moser’s personal. Leonard substituted for Strickler just before the half ended. Score 22 13. The Yellow Tuckets continued the fast pace in the second half. Strickler. Andrews and Miller bombarded the basket for ten field goals and Swearingen who substituted for Beal, caged one. during the last half. Coach Kennedy made numerous substitutions in the second half, and all combinations proved to be effective. The r oach used a total of eleven players in the gamd. Two former Decatur boys. Don and Roger Groves, played forward for the Sturgis team. Don made three field goals and two free throws while his brother caged one field goal and one free throw.

Although at least some of them will play in the tournament here March 6 and 7, it was the last regular scheduled game on the home floor for those five fighting Yellow Jackets. Captain Miller and Andrews, the two regulars, received a big hand from the fans as they left the game in the closing minutes when Coach Kennedy sent in

J! me 9 / / " Don’t Hold On Too Long « In the telephone business, as in any other business, there are various expressions and phrases that cover a flock of territory in one or two words. In our line, one of our expressions is “HOLDING TIME” \ / which means the length of time a person hangs on to the telephone talking to any one party. We have a number of persons who call a party and talk for an hour at a time—let the receiver hang and entertain the party at the other end of the line with a phonograph or radio concert or talk about nothing in particular except to pass the time away. 4 However, in he meantime there may be another party on your same line that may want to make a call of importance the worst way or someone ebe trying to get in to deliver a message from the outside. This creates a very bad condition and hinders us from giving the kind of service our subscribers are entitled to get. The Citizens Telephone would like to suggest that instead of holding the phone for a long period of time that thetime be held down to the normal talking period and call more often. This will help make conditions better from every standpoint and prevent the non-delivery and sending of important calls. We can also give better service to every individual subscriber. We trust the public will keep this in mind and hear with us in this movement to better phone service. Citizens Telephone Co. , H. F. EHINGER, Manager _____
