LIE.I) GOALQ x fey MARK M. UPP kJ That was a good; h l game over at Bluffton Saturday night and tin’ Yellow Jacket ought ti< to feel downhearted in the least. It Ih tough, though, to lose a balllg l ’'' 1» lust ten seconds of play. Wonder if ttW>-‘ Bluffton columnists and other Well county fans are convinced nrfwtbat our Yellow Jackets are just as good as the Tigers. The edge t 14 points in our favor, since the Yellow Jackets were vlctoriouiover the Tigers here by a score of 36-21 and the Tigers merely edgl out a one-point win on their home flocr. Out of Bounds mill have had a little surprise party, since he predicted the Tigers would win atnrday night by a 15-point margin. We talked to I,'ip 'ff” after the game and he opinXoned that it was a real game. He admitted tin he didn't have a whole 10l to razz, us about, but said he would have to cfe a little. Have your fun Rippy. Tonight is when ><“ Decatur Yellow Jackets will journey to Bluffton for a return game. Sfll humiliated by the beating administered them on the Decatur floor earlj tls week, the Tigers have their claws all trimmed up to give the visitor! te tight of their lives tonight.

Mark isn'»fding any too good this morning ,for his Yellow Jackets got tramped on. 36 ’ 16. last night at Columbia City.

Dicky Ho joins him in sending tietollowing contrib: "Dear Fit Goals: Relieving it not only advisable and benefitting to both (cools but also advantageous to local fans who wish to attend both tones, we. and all other enthuiasts as well, suggest that one of th two basketball games to be played in this city this Friday be <&ged to a day ahead or behind thus eliminating the possibility of >oth Athletic Associations losing money on these games. What is your opinion on thfs subject? Yours for no conflictions in lines at home, we are, “Monty Oh! “Dicky Ho!" We're in sfioathy with the above sentiment. We’ve been wondering how we could lie ) both places on the same night. However, it may be impossible for the hool officials to shake the change. Both ggres scheduled to be played here Friday night ought to be whizzeZT ’he Yellow Jackets play Auburn, one of the best teams in this neok f the woods, and Catholic high plays Cathedral of Indianapolis.a rival of the locals for parochial school honors of Indiana. Today’s qic ion and answer: “Q- —Who is responsible for the behavior o! the spectator? A—The home team. If the game is on a neutral court, the committed i charge is responsible. Usually if the referee appeals to the sportsmatjlp of the spectators by a statement from the floor, no lurtlier actioif i- necessary. Referee er umpire mp.y call fouls.” Bob Zwick. Yellow Jacket forward, had plenty of tough luck Saturday night. He st or I six points that did not count. Bob sank two field goals, but |the referee ride that he had shot after he had been fouled and the baskets did not count, Then he dropped in two tosses from the free throw mark, but he stepped >ver the foul line before the ball touched the basket or back board and the.' lid not count. Paul Paris , of Kokomo, who was captain of the Indiana University quintet last Ik son. refereed the game Saturday night and he did a pretty fair job of it.g le was fair, undoubtedly.

D.C. U.S, LIVED OP TO REPORTS Fostoria, Ohio, Newspaper Gives Account OF Game There Friday Night The Fostoria Dully Times, of Fostoria. Ohio, had the following account of the basketball game bo'ween Decatur Catholic high school and the Catholic high school quintet of Fostoria on the latter’s floor last Friday night: “From the Hoosier state of Indiana came the green and gold mm of Coach Confer and they returned last night with another win tucked under their bells. The team proved to be what the advance reports made them out to be and the Saints were prepared for them, but not just enough, is it was the next thing to impossible for the Saints to get by the giant tnards of the Hoosier team. "The Saints got well under way in

he first period when they held their opponents scoreless while they maniged to get three baskets and a foul with the quarter score 7-0. In the econd frame they were only able to make a lone tally via the foul route md towards the end of that period he Decatur team seemed suddenly possessed with a scoring mania for, hey made throe baskets and a foul, I leaving them but one point in arrears .vhen the half was called. The Saints! were able to sink one shot in the folowing period and the Hoosiers did them one better by taking the lead uul giving themselves an added point o place them in the lead. Neither earn scored in the final period as >oth sides resorted to football in their desperate efforts to score to keep heir opponents from scoring on them. “Captain Vance, Al and Art Altweis each playing a high class game ind having one goal to his credit, while Degan had two, Art Altweis made two fouls out of a possible '.hree. and brother Al equalled this by looping a long one through for a field goal in the second period. “Meyers of the visitors succeeded n looping in three goals, while Wem-j hoff at the other forward made one. Mylott, the small sized center also broke into the scoring column with one basket to his credit as did Smith’ it guard who scored a lone tally from the foul line. Gass the 210 pound guard was all that he was said to be) playing a whale of a game on defense 1 md being very fast for a man of his I weight. ‘■Staut. who handled the Toledo, Central game here some time ago,: was the referee.”
