A preliminary game, between the Preble Independents and the Monroe Hear Cats, two evenly matched teams will be played at 7:30 o'clock. There is considerable interest in the game between the Leaders and Catholic High. Although the game will not be played to decide the championship of the city and will be purely an exhibition game, the followers of the two teams believe the game , will he an interesting contest. The Catholic High team has not played \ on the home court since it made its fine record in the national Catholic tourney and followers of the team are anxious to see the same combination play another game. This will he the last appearance of that tournament team, since three of the regulars and I two substitutes will be graduated this spring. This will be the last appearance of the Leaders, also. The treasury of each team is in a depleted condition, due to the heavy expenses of the season, but if this game is well supported, both teams will finish the season in fairly good condition.

Catholic Hiigh by St. Mel’s. Chicago, in the semifinal.-. of the National Catholic husk-ttl-ul! chamuonsliip tournament. The Indiana team had probably been up against the stillest matching of the meet, and the fine playing shown made the quintet one of the strong favorites of the tourney. The school is located in a town of 7.000. The school has 50 pupils. Ont of this number 26 are Jtoys. Last year the boys got together and decided that they wanted a basketball team. A business man volunteered to do a little coaching. That season the five won five games. This year the same players and the same coach got together again. When the season ended they had won 20 consecutive victories. The National Catholic tournament came around and the Decatur team was entered. Luck seemed against them when they were matched against Spalding, the 1924 champions in the first round. Decatur defeated Spalding in a great game, 24 to Then the Hoosiers won from St. Thomas. 21 to 16. and from St. Viator's, 18 to 12. The semi-finals came on Sunday afternoon. Several auto loads of loyal Decatur fans made the 200mile trip to see their team play. They were on hand for one of the biggest events in the history of the little town. The Indiana players lead throughout the game, and it looked as if they were going into the finals. Then the luck broke against them Gass, star guard, was injured, and had to leave the game. In the last five seconds of play, St. Mel's tied the count, 11 up. The two teams engaged in a desperate five minutes overtime period. For several of the five minutes no scores were made. Then just as it looked as if another period would have to be played, a Chicago forward won the game for his team by caging a field goal. Over in the Decatur stands tears rolled from many eyes, and there was no apologizing for the display
