But the player worth while Is the one who can smile M hen he misses the whole darn kablsh." Wells county has eight high schools and each school has a gymnasium. Adams county has ten high schools. Only three of them have gymnasiums and two play in halls. Four teams drive to this city ami use the old high school gym and one goes to Berne and uses the Berne floor. While the leading teams in Adams county are able to cope with those in Wells county, the teams in Wells county are, as a whole, stronger than those in this county. The answer is obvious. LEARN A RULE A DAY IF YOU’D UNDERSTAND THE PLAY. Believing that a little reviewing of the rules of basketball will help most of we fans to better understand the game and to be better fans, wa have decided to print one rule each day in our column. Today's rule: “A player shall not interfere with a player who is returning the ball Into th* court from out of bounds; that is, no part of his person shall he outside tha court.” A technical foul. Penalty one free throw. See you al the game tonight.
