The other game—between lowa and Northwestern —will not have any material standing on the race at present i as both teams are near the bottom of : the list. J! Ohio State and Wisconsin are tied ; for the lead. The rise of the Iloosier teams, Indiana and Purdue, from second divi- I sion places to a tie for runner-up posi- i Con was a feature of a hectic week. 1 Indiana took an advantage by downing t

Purdue, .17 to 24, after Purdue hud beaten Chicago and Indiana had trounced Northwestern earlier in the week. The standings follow: W L Pet.

Y. M. C, A. university nnu independent in Vincennes, Indiana, Illinois and Knox County," as the head of his column states. Tne only tram that he boosts, as far as we have been able to learn, is the Vincennes public high school quintet. The Vincennes university, Gibault Catholic high school, Y. M. C. A., independent, and county fives seldom get into the column and they don’t occupy much space on the sport paqe We’re for Adams county teams, whether they’re winning or losing. Whenever a team trots out on the floor with Decatur, Derne, Kirkland, Monmouth or the name of any other Adams county school on their shirts, we’re for that team, except when two or those teams are playing each other. Then we’re neutral. Being a Decatur resident, we naturally may yell a little harder for the Decatur teams when they are playing other Adams county teams, but nevertheless, we’re for Adams ... i »

Ihe first team's record would look pretty sick. After recording ilie fact that Portland defeated the Hartford City high -chord quintet last Friday night, the Hartford Ciy News says "so far this season, tlie (liillainmcn have won but three games out of twelve played, and unless a radical change is fortlunming. liiHe relief is in sight.” The Yellow Jai kels have wen only three games ibis season, too, hut thank goodness, we see relief ahead. We re counting on the Yellow Jackets to win a majority of the remaining games on their schedule. The Hartford Corillas stepped out and plucked a one sided win at the expense of Pleasant Mills Saturday night. Coach Romey of Hartford, sure juggled his lineup before he started the game, but the result was amazing. 1 Monmouth showed plenty off strength for thirty minutes of their game with Kirkland Saturday night, but a last minute rally by the Kangaroos lured them to take another defeat But Monmouth is coming to the front. Coach Center’s Catholic high cageVs have returned home from their victorious jaunt into the southern part of the state, and this evening will begin practice for the game with St. John's of Delphos, Ohio, here next Friday night.

KIRKLAND BEATS MONMOUTH TEAM —— Coach Null's Team Comes From Behind And Wins By Score 2?>-lB I After trailing by one point at the ; | end of the first half and being held on J even terms during the first ten minutes of the second period, the Kirkland 1 township high school Kangaroos rallied - in the closing minutes of their game 1 With Monmouth at the Decatur high 1 school gym Saturday night, and won by a score of 29-16. Meyers, who sub I stituted for F. Arnold, sank four field [goals in the latter part of the contest! and put the game <m ice for Coach .Null's team. Monmouth took a lead of S-7 in the first halt, due mainly to the ability 11 cl Coach Foley’s men to convert Kirk- ■ land's personal fouls into points. The two teams battled on practically even 1

terms for half of the last period, hut Meyers proceeded to "get. hot” and drop in field goais from all angles. Meyers was high point man of the game, scoring six field goals. F. Arnold was next in line with four field goals and two free throws. Johnson and Hill each scored two field goals and one free throw for Monmouth. In the game between the Kirkland and Monmouth girls, the Kirkland lassies won by a score of 24-3. Monmouth failed to score during the second half. The first half ended with the score standing, 13-3.
