• We're going to let Rip Offs and 1 Out of Bounds, of Bluffton, write ' most of our column today. We know you would rather read their comments on the Tiger-Yellow Jacket ; scrap here Tuesday night than any- ’ thing we could say. We're Stung and Stunned i Mark M. Up, old fellow, we’re trying to keep a stiff upper lip. but we'll I have to admit your Yellow Jackets put one over on us in nice shape last : night and we haven’t any really good libis, although we've tried hard to think of some. Honestly, we thought our Tigers had their claws all sharpened up for a nice feasting on the Decatur court and we'd thought up ■ a lot of clever cracks to cast your way following the game. Alack! | Alas! On our dejection we must rise ! to give proper credit to your Yellow . Jackets and to their stinging. The ■ t ext time wo try to invade that nest * . over there we'll start a smoke bar-. . rage in advance. But say, Mark M.| mark yon well that there is another 1 game coming this week and it’s the Tigers again your Yellow Jackets . will have to face. We're bold enough to state right here and now that the ' Tigers will enjoy sweet revenge So, ’ really, we're not so dejected after . all. for the last victory is always the choice morsel. Come over. Mark M . we'll treat you right in the score box while your players are being mauled by the Tigers below. —Rip Offs. Per Gosh Sakes! Last night was sure a disastrous night for Bluffton quintets. The r drubbing handed the Tigers by the t Yellow Jackets was a decisive one ! and we’re expecting the worst from our fellow scribes. Lay it on thick rang while you have the chance. r Saturday night will surely tel! a , different story and then we'll indulge • in that “Lass Last” privilege. To top off last night’s upset at Decatur, the ' Phi Delta had to go and drop a game I over in Ohio. Well, how it all hap- | pened is sure a "misery” to us.—Out I of Bounds.

Strickler A Hot Sketch Tippy, who covered the Deca-tur-Bluffton game, tells us that this man Strickler, Yellow Jacket nivot man, disports himself in great style and sinks 'em into the net from all angles- Well, we'll have this man watched carefully . next Saturday evening if we have to get Harry Johnson, out west, to do it- Remember when old Jonse used to out ♦ l, e scare into 'em? Tippy also tells us that Decatur is playing much faster ball than they did at the first of the season. This we believe as the victory over Bluffton is only their second this year. Angola was the other aggregation to be punished.— Rip Offs.

How It Is Frank McFarren called on us this morning to offer sympathy for the ’ defeats suffered by Bluffton teams at Decatur. Frank stated that the matter seemed to him to be merely a Christmas exchange. The Tigers ’’presented” Decatur with a victory , last night, he stated, and added that the Decatur crew would return the ‘‘present” here Saturday night. We ! i certainly hope Frank’s "Christmas ; .exchange” theory is correct.—Out , of Bounds. After reading the above items, no doubt, you have reached the conclusion that the Bluffton scribes admit that-they’re down but not out. The Yellow jackets will have a tough (

assignment at Bluffton Saturday night. Not that wo think the Muncie Bearcats should have laid down, but we did hate to see Frankfort defeated when Captain Plunkett and Good were out of the lineup. The Bearcats could not beat Frankfort’s regular team one time out of five this season, we think. But it all goes in a game of basketball, am! Muncie won last night. 32-28. It was good to see “Bud.” “Spitty,” "Fritz.” "Doc" and the rest o' the old Catholic eagers perform last night. It was the first time they had been together since nearly a year ago, though, and consequently, the team play of the varsity was too much for them last night. Anyhow, it would have been a shame for those boys, who did so much to put Catholic high in a winning habit, to break that string of victories. The Yellow Jackets reserves go to Lancaster tonight to battle the Bob Cat Kittens in a prelim to the Lan-caster-Cntler game. Tomorrow night. Catholic high goes to Fostoria, Ohio, the Yellow Jackets journey to Columbia City and Hartford township goes to Bluffton to battle the Bob Cats. Let’s make it three victories for Adams county. Please. R : p Offs, our name is spelled with two" P's," thusly, Upp. The following paragraph was found at the bottom of a column in the V.ncennes Sun on Monday evening, in which there was a long story concerning the impending battle between Marion and Vincennes oh Tuesday night: “Insects have to rise to great heights to drift with the wind.” Can it be I that Mr trying to. I write a pun. Herd’s the way we 1 translated it: "The Alices will have to rise to great heights to cope with the Marion Beanpoles Purple Whir lwind.” We can t believe though that George world call the Alices insects. , —o BASKETBALL RESULTS High Schools Muncie. 32; Frankfort, 28; (Overtime) Jefferson (LaFayette) 26; West La Fayette. 17.

Washington, ee. 31.—President Coolidge decided oday to speed up ' review of the M ehell court martial sentence, and if ; ssible to rendei his final decision wi in a fortnight. Mitigation of ( s sentence impbsed for Col. William Mitchell’s criticism of Administratloi has recommended by political whit hoti.se advisers. I It is believed tl it the president will [decide the coqrt ! lartlal sentence, suspending Mitchel! from the army tor five years withoift pay or allowances, is too severe, lie may lighten It by restoring at leas? part of the pay. Sev-

eral congressmen are urging him to cut the suspens’on to two years. , 1 The President today told his friends that he desired; the judge advocate general of the army and the reviewing board to eliminate all possible red tape i and sen the case to the White House. Since there is no army precedent for suspending an officer and also cutting off his livlihood, the President’s advisors fear Mitchell may affectively, raise the cry of alleged persecution if the court sentence is sustained by the I President.

Gasoline Pump At Vera Cruz Catches On Fire While repairs were being made to a gasoline curb pump in front of the Schaefer Grocery company store at Vera Cruz about 3 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, the gasoline in the pump caught fire, causing a lively blaze for a while. Fortunately, the flames did not get to the tank beneath the surface of the ground. The fire started from a poorly insulated piece of wire, which extended from the grocery to the pump.

When workmen from Fort Wayne leaned the pump to one side to repair a leak in it. the wire came in contact with the metal of the pump, causing a spark, which ignited ■ gasoline. There were about five gallons of gasoline in the containc. above the ground and all of ,!l b burned before the blaze was extluuished | ■ o —-' ’ CLASS ROLL IS 4 ANNOUNCED (COVHMED FROM PAGE °' K * ~
