Faixs-'in the metropolis in the yotffhern part ot tis county arp<6nfident that their undefejietlßloe and White quindefeat the Yellow Jackets heie Friday night and the town is I planning to turn out strong for | the battle. i So hot is the enthuiasni at Berne that a new basketball column has broken out in the Adams County Witness It is tailed, '‘Time Outs, by Will Wynn.” Just Io give you an idea ot the sentiment down in Berne w Tc ( going to reproduce three paragraphs of Will's dope: I "Mark M. Upp warned eagetm a I everywhere, 'Somebody's going to pay for all this stirring around n the Yellow Jacket nest pretty soon. A Yellow Jacket fights back, you know.' So far they still have kept their stingers pretty well to themselves. "Might it be that they are hybrids? No, well then, "Fighting Five," get your paddles ready for Friday night and prepare to make short wd'ik of that theer nest of yellow jackets. “And, by the way, we say, don't expect too much honey, yellow jackets, if they're not hybrids, don't have honey.” i Perhaps we have been riding Rip Offs a little too hard about his Tigers. | At least. Rippy thinks so. Listen to' this one: "While Mark M. is throwing this lovely bouquet cur way. he forgets how the Yellow Jackets have been performing this season. The species of Yellow Jackets infesting the Adams county metropolis seems not to have any sting. 1 This is just righteous self-defense, Mark M.. and as we both seem to be travelling in a hard row of tough luck, let's be friends.” I ' There, now. Rippy, don't take it to heart too much, we are only kidding. Btrt on the square, old man, is tlfe Bluffton coach still losing sleep worrying because he has so many good p'ayers that he can't divide which ones to play’ % | "On tb.e Sidelines” in the Hartford; City Times-Gazette also takes a crack at Bluffton, whic h causes Rip Offs to j lament as follows: “Why do all pick; oil us? There's many another team who have not fared s>> well in the opening weeks of the basketball season and we say that the Tigers are going to do a little* cleaning up in re taliation later on.” Will Wynn says, “We haven’t heard more from Mark M.
