, i L'l.. J. FIELD GOALS “ BY MARK M. UPP —-ra—— | Berne's record remains unbroken. The veteran Fighting Five proved HnipeHor to the Yellow Jackets lust night and Diltz.'s men won their eighth straight victory. ! Hats oil to Monmouth. Conch Foley's men pulled out of the cellar liy trouncln ■ Jefferson, 23-19. I _| We suppose there will he more merry razz coming from Hie Wells county seat. Any way we'd lie willing to match Borne and Catholic high against Wells county’s best. And we're not conceding the Bluff-j lon Tigers anything in their game with the Yellow Jackets here Dec. 29. We didn’t think Kokomo would run away with Muncie, 50-27, and ■little did we suspect that South Side' | would swamp North Manchester,' 54-19. Coach Welbourn got the merry rr/.z a few times last night on his deci 'ions in the Berne-Decatur game, (tiir instance in particular, when Ellenberger ami Reynolds were lighting for the ball, he received much criticism. It looked to all of the-fans like Ellenberger knocked Reynolds down. Reynolds was laid out for a few minutes in the play. I Welbourn didn’t even foul Ellenberger. but called it held ball. We think Welbourn was wrong, but maybe he wasn’t We should remember tliat its much harder to like an official’s work when our team is losing its games than when it is winning TJCK BLUFFTON GANG. AND ALL THESE EARLY SEASON DEFEATS WILL BE FORGOTTEN. The Hartford Gorillas are still at it. Kirkland fell a victim last night.
