Staff Correspondent) New York, Jan. 7. — (United Press) — Billy Johnston and Vincent Hichard. America’s second and third ranking stars, are to be invited by the tennis association to play for the United States at the Wimbledon championships in June.

Hill Tilden, the world’s singles champion, was offered a place on the team, I but he declined, saying he would be too busy with his theatricals as he Is now a full fledged actor with a leading role. ■■ " 1 ■ ■ O 1 | Berne A.

FIELD GOALS x By MARK M. UPP kJ Ketcham plays back guard for Smithville. Just so he doesn’t hold ’em. No wonder this Fairmount team has been hard to defeat ,hl ® season. The opooslng teams have found it difficult to bridge Creek, who plays back guard for the Quakers. But then un ‘ hasn't a thing on the Harlan team A Lake is their best guard. Out of Bounds copied our exhortation on subject ot °penhl K of {’ h '“ [ Bluffton gym earlier in the evening on game nights, and I lien gave us th following invitation: ~ .t, nvn “Mark certainly must feel much better now after KettitiK out of his system. Here’s inviting you to come over Mark when the Phi Delts plav Decatur, if they do. The first game *Monday nig it was scheduled at 7:30 and the doors to the gym minutes of 7. Nobody was kept waiting to see the preliminary or the big game with the Caseys.” “The Fort Wayne K. of C. basketball team, after working on the local Phi Delt crew Monday evening went over to Decatur and took the Leaders into camp 26 to 14, almost doubling the count on them. It’s some satisfaction to know that the Phi Delts made as good a showing as the Decatur team did."—Rip Offs. The Caseys bent the Bluffton Phi Delts 48-24 on Monday night and then won from the Decatur Leaders 26-14 on the following night. And now Rip Offs comes along and says the Phi Delts made as good as showing as the Traders. We believe most any team would rather be beaten twelve points than swamped twenty-four points. , The Decatur Leaders did a little better last night against the Ft. Wayne Knights of Columbus than did the Phi Delts. The question now is "Can the Leaders defeat the Phi Delts?" Decatur has been wanting to meet the Phi Delts and now the time seems about ripe to bring these two quintets together. Huntington plays the Caseys tonight and their showing will also serve to rate them along with the Leaders and Phi Delts. The Phi Delts, Leaders and Huntington could no doubt stage an interesting triangular series.— Out of Bounds. Outta takes a little different view of the affair. Last night, the Caseys had little difficulty in trouncing the Huntington quintet. 41-22. Anyway, we agree with Outta. that the three teams would stage an interestins triangular series. "Referee Schultz, Lima, played Santa Claus at Ottawa Tuesday night and handed the Putnam county boys a victory by awarding them four points which even the Ottawa officials conceded were not coming to them. As a result of his generosity, Ottawa High, officially, defeated St. John’s by a score of 10 to 8. But for the donations mentioned, the score would have been 8 to 6, with the Delphos boys on the winning end.” —Delphos, Ohio, Herald. Today's question and answer: "Q —How shall technical fouls be designated? A —ln away agreed upon by the referee and scorers.” That Awful Charleston! Sideliner. Muncie Star: "Shall we dance?" Fanny the Fan: "Let’s sit this one out. I got'kicked in the chin last time.”—Casual Comment. It looks like it is almost an impossibility to get a crowd out to see an in- , dependent ball game in Bluffton. The Phi Delts thought surely the Caseys would draw a good crowd but they didn’t. The Phi Dolts lost a small sum last night and are fortunate they did not go clear under financially on the game. The local boys are certainly deserving of credit for staging the game at that and giving the fans of the county the chance to see one of the best teams in the country in action. —Out of Bounds. — I The Decatur Leaders are having the same trouble. There was a time when Independent teams drew almost as large audiences as high school quintets, but "them days is gone,” maybe forever. There doesn’t appear to be much danger of professional basketball damaging the game in Indiana high schools, at the present, at least. The independent teams are playing good ball today, too. ONE THING WE’D LIKE TO ASK FANNY THE FAN UP AT MUNCIE AND THAT IS—IS IT THE WOMAN AND NOT THE WRONGS AGAINST HER THAT SHOULD BE REDRESSED? —Casual Comment. Coach Kennedy is drilling his forwards early and late this week on basket-shooting, that department of the game in which the Yellow Jackets have been weak this season The Auburn team, which plays here Friday night, has a bunch of sharp-shooters in the lineup and it will take several baskets to beat them. Cathedral high of Indianapolis, which plays the local Catholfc high Friday night, in this city, recently lost to Louisville, Kentucky. 26-13. Since then, Gibault high, of Vincennes, defeated Louisville, 26-16. Cathedral previously defeated Gibault and the locals beat Gibault. Oh well, don't try to figure it out. Just turn out and see the game Friday night and maybe that will give you some dope.
