The Catholic high teams won throe victories from Kirkland, the local seconds defeating the Kirkland Hopefuls, 22-21 in a thrilling double-over time contest, and the Catholic girls handing the Kirkland girls a 12-2 defeat in an abbreviated game. The early stages of the big game were hard fought, neither team being able to pull away to a comfortable lead. Catholic high scored first when Captain Voglewede tossed in a frep throw. Another free throw and a field goal by Wemhoff, who had substituted for llolthouso soon after the start, when the latter sprained an ankle, put the locals ahead, 4-0, Then Krnst, the Kirkland ace, scored a long field goal and two tree throws, tying the count at 4-all. Christen put Decatur ahead with a field goal. Coach Contcr's men then pulled away to a 13-6 lead at the end of the half.

Meyers was high point man with four field goals and five free throws to his credit. Krnst led tile attack for the Kirkland team, scoring one field goal and seven free throws out of eleven chances. Kirkland made only three field goals during the game, and one of those —caged by F. Arnold, was the longest shot, scored here this soason.

Pete 1 played four years in high school, i as a member of either the sec • ond of first team, and during those four years he never was > removed from a game on personal fouls. That’s a great record ij for guards to shoot at. He plays as hard a game as any player in the state, but he plays the game clean. It.~t seventeen straight for Catholic . High and still a’straighfin’. I The Kit bland offense found the go- , ing hard when they attempted to . break through the five-man defense (of Catholic High Saturday night. The scrappy Kirkland lads broke up , many plays started by their oppon i ents, however. This is a busy week for dopesters. They have started -playing the sectional tournaments already, and by the time the playing actually starts Friday, they will have the sectional champs named. Tho season tickets for the sectional tourney went on sale today. Lancaster requested sixty tickets. Looks like tDo Wells county champs are going to be well supported over liere next week end. Buy your season tickets of your own school as the proceeds will bo divided among Hie schools on the basis of the number of tickets sold bv each.

The team has only one more game to play before the tousnament, j t hut with SB. Peter and Paul, of Hunjtingtoii here next week.
