IPIELD GOALS • BY MARK M. UPP We have u pleasant task io perform in writing this column today. For the first lime for several weeks, wi record victories for both Catholic high and the Yellow Jackets on the same night. It was Yellow Jacket vs. Yellow Jacket here last night and the Yellow Jackets won. No the Decatur Yellow Jackets weren't fighting each other. It was the Winchester Vellow Jackets against the Decatur Yellow jackets. Catholic High had a close pill'hist night. A long field goal bv Captain Tubby Gass in the final minute j snatched a vlctpryior the locals at I Evansville,Word from Coach Confer today says that the Reitz high tc'Hii'of Evansville is tho fastest "team played by the locals this seasmt BUT IT’S ELEVEN STRAIGHT' AND STILL ASTRAIGHTIN'” The Yellow Jackets showed good fight and cooperation in their game last night, although their team play was not up to snuff at times. We believe they have several more victories in their systems which they will work out this season, yet. Mongo Meyers made eight field goals and three free throws last night, giving him a total of 43 points in the two southern games, or an average of 21 and 1-2 points per game. A player like that sure is an asset to a. team. Berne shoved Kirkland aside last night and the blue clad warriors say ‘‘bring on the Yellow Jackets." The Yellow Jackets are coming. And they're fighting mad. Monroe successfully repelled the 'nvasion of the! Brighton crew last night. Bedford put another deep dent in the old dope bucket last night by defeating the Frankfort state champs 34-31 Coach Ivy’s players are about as hard as the limestone overwhich they trod daily. Ii was a tough night for the Fort Wayne high schools last night. Garrett nosed out South Side in lb. big South Sid,, gym, 24-22 while the Central Tigers were walloped 30-1 S at Rochester. Bluffton walked up another game in fill loss column when f'oheli Young’s Auburn eagers downed the Tigers last night. Ryan, of Winchester, has plenty of speed. When he heads toward the basket, he looks like a streak. He and Mongo Meyers would make a fast pair of forwards. Today's question and answer: Q If a closely guarded player is bolding the ball on the floor and making no attempt to play it. should a foul be called? A —No; it is a "held ball.” Our friend Monty Oh has joined the ranks of the wouldbe poets. He confc sses that he isn’t a poet, but wants to annoy our readers a while, nevertheless, so here’s his efforts: Poor Mary—Poor Bawl "Mary had a basketball. “So nice and round, yet small; "It bounced with glee until one day, “A Puncture ended all —.

Frankfort’s state champs were on tho little end of a 34 to 31 count. In other places over the state, upsets were occurring, but it was lhe Bedfotd victory that outranked all others. The stoney city crew has boon playing high class ball all season, but only a few fans realized the power the team realyy possessed.

A great last half rally put the Curtis outfit en the long °nd of asSto 39 count Ten minutes before tho final gun sounded Columbus was leading by a score of 30 to 27.

Plymouth trampled Goshen in an easy manner, winning almost as it pleased by a count of 41 to 31, while laiporte was taking Michigan City into camp to the tune of 47 to 21. Marion, one of the state’s most touted quintets, had little trouble disposing of Fairmount in a one-sided contest. The final score was 60 to 29. Kokomo, with the powerful Walters hitting at hot speed, pulled away from Tipton and was credited with a 66 to 41 victory. Bloomington went after Central of Evansville hot and heavy and the college town lads took the measure of the pocket crew 31 to 24. o Army-Navy- Grid Game To Be Played In Chicago New York. Jan. 23—Football fans in the middle west who never have seen an Army-Navy football game no doubt will be overjoyed that the 1926 battle is to be played in Chicago but wail. Just wait till they try to get tickets. Even with a promised seating capacity of 100,000, they will find, like the east, that it is largely a private game and the street parade of the Cadets and the Midshipmen ■will be as much of tho ceremonies as thousands will be able to see. The game was sent away from the

eastern seaboard for the first time, it was announced, to give any official flavor to the ceremonies that will dedicate Chicago’s new stadium to her war dead and the nature oi the occasion will add to the demand for tickets. The Army and the Navy, it was .promised when arrangements were j being made, will get 40.000 tickets I each and out of their 20,000 the civilian comniittee hhndlijng , the game will have to take care of city and state officials, politicians and everyone who puts his name on the petition that helped get the game.

Jan. 23.—(United Press)—Straw, compressed into briquettes under 833 pounds .pressure per square inch, in laboratory experiments here at the Kansas State Agricultural College has proven to have about onehalf the heating value of coal and may partially supplant it as a fuel in middlewestern homes, according to W. H. Sanders, professor of agricultural engineering at the college. Pnofessor Sanders has invented a machine, entailing little cost, operated on the same principles of a hay baler, 1 which has proven fairly successfully in I this undertaking. Professor Sanders says that under tests at the engineering department, it was found 70 per cent of the heat content of the straw was utilized.

The matter, of course, didn’t get V( ry tar in official circles but there apparently was enough talk alrnut 11 i to arouse a vital spark on the North western campus. Athletics took a sudden spurt and spurted so hard and fast that within a year the other members of the conference raised approving eyebrows and changed the nickname of North western’teams from "Methodists to *\\ ild cats." Northwestern liked the name and an alumnus presented the school with a caged wildcat to .act a? mascot.
