Catholic High drew a tough customer in the first round of the national tourney at Chicago, but | the bigger they are the harder they fall. Spalding Institute, of Peoria, Illinois, opponents of the locals at 11 o'clock Friday morning, won the title last year. Little is known of their strength this season, but they will have to be up to snuff if they survive the first round this year. Anyhow, the hundreds who want to see the title passed around will be rooting for Decatur in that game with Spalding and that ought to help. Little Milford sure went big against Fort Wayne Central Saturday night. We'll wager a lot of people consulted their maps Sunday to see just where the dark horse comes from. A good basketball team puts a little town on the map. Just Courting, at Wabash, is telling the world that his high school won a wrestling match from Peru by the score of 78 to 7. Maybe the trouble with the Thom Cats in basketball was that they tried to wrestle with their opponents instead of trying to toss the ball through the hoop. !

@ S’ Buick Torque Tube Drive The fine engineering in Buick motor cars is demonstrated by the torque tube drive. This is a steel tube which transmits the drive from the rear wheels instead of adding this important duty tv the burden of the rear springs. The torque tube also encloses and protects the propeller shaft. This type of construction also holds the rear wheels in alignment regardless of road conditions. WILBUR D.
