That score, 87-17, which the locals rolled up against the Antler son Oatholic school team last night, is a record foe ‘his s « as °"’ a * far as w< remember. Frankfort’s state champs piled up 8b points against Columbus recently. Shouldn't womb r if Hint score didn’t send a chill up the spines of those Central Catholic players in Fort Wayne Their turn Is doming on Feb. ...

And now for thone Lancaster Bob Cats. We're picking the Yellow Jackets to give them a set back tonight and even up for that defeat in the final game of the tournament here last March.

Some day. the high school , pupil- and lan; up in these parts will lake basketball as seriously as they do ' 0 ,wn south, and then we will show 'em a thing or two. We're picking Purdue and Indiana to uphold the basketball reputation of the Hoosier state tenight when the Boilermakers meet Northwestern at Lafayette and the Crimson engage the lowa Hawkeyes in a battle at lowa City. \ n. unm failed to do the stull necessary to trip the fast going Martins v ill. outfit last night. Hnles.l it cracks under the strain, it looks like the Martinsville quintet is beaded toward the state championship. The Kirkland team was the Kirkland team of old last night and the llartford Gorillas tumbled. 27-24 It was a hotly contested ha.tt’e. and both teams will be dangerous in the sectional tourney. Herne and Decatur had better lake warning. , f.lonmouth's eagers are showing continued improvement. Last night they downed the Monroe quintet in a well played game. Cive the team from Decatur’s suburb a little more experience and it will hold its own with any team on its schedule. lii i-m-'s Fighting Five was idle last night, the game with Petroleum being cancelled on account of diphtheria and scarlet fever being prevalent at 1 petroleum.
