I " 1 “ X The Catholic high eagers will engage the school’s alumni m a game Wednesday night. Indications are that it will be a hotly contested affair. “Bud" Vogelewede, “Spitty” Holthouse and “Doc" i Christen have been keeping in tip top condition this winter, the former two playing on the Notre Dame Freshman squad and the latter with the Decatur Leaders. With the aid of other former stars at the Catholic high school, they will give this year’s varsity a hard fight. i ■ —— There is considerable agitation for an alumni game at Decatur high school this week It is impossible for the varsity to play* the alumni this year, as tin team already has its limit of twenty games scheduled. How ever, the second team, with the aid of the first team substitutes who have not played in all of the varsity games to date could give tlie alumni a good game, we believe, and we would like to see them meet Incidentally, the contest would help out the high school athletic association somewhat, also. i Marion’s bean poles go to Vincennes for a game Tuesday night. It will he the first real test of the season for the Marion crew, but we are picking them to lick the Alices. Let's win those two games tram Bluffton and one from Columbia City this week, Yellow Jackets. That old Yellow Jacket fight will do it. Today's question and answer: "Q. Shall players be numbered in accord- • dance with their playing positions? A—Not necessary; tlie custom is to give the captain No. 1.
