As a t irelitninary to the final game, Satur- : | a y evening, the teachers from the * Kmrh half of the county will play j he teachers from the northern town-, [hips. As there is good talent in joih sections of the county, the pre- < Iminary contest should prove inter- ’ esting. i The following eighth grade teams t have signified a desire to enter the I tournament: Preble, Monmouth. ’ Pleasant Mills. Decatur public , schools. Decatur Catholic school, t Kirkland, French, Monroe township. < Monroe, Berne, Linn Grove, Geneva, J Wabash township and Jefferson township. The length of the halves will be 1 fifteen minutes, with a sixteen-min- . ute rest between halves.

The season tickets are on sale at each school that has entered the tourney. For information concerning the tourney, those interested should write to Paul H. Graham, of Monroe, chairman of the board of control. The “dope" points to the two Decatur teatps, Kirkland, Berne and Monmouth as the leading contenders for the title, but any of the other teams are liable to spring a surprise. The Decatur public school team won . two out of three games from the Decatur Catholic team and has defeated Berne and Geneva this year, but two of the players were graduated at the close of the first semester last week and the team may not be as strong in the tournament. The schedule will he drawn next , Saturday. i —o Baptists Beat State Normal Cagers, 57-19 Franklin, Ind., Jan. 27. — (United Press) —Franklin today was dreaming of another state basketball championship following the Baptists overwhelming defeat of Indiana State Normal, 67 to IS, last night.

Mhmmmmmmmhmmhmki J FIELD GOALS • BY MARK M. UPP The Franklin college quintet again displayed its forttier prowess last night and as a result State Normal was swamped, 57 ll>. Deane Dorwin, former Yellow Jacket captain, who is now president of Franklin, a student there or something of the sort, dropped In to see us the other day while he was home, to make sure that we had noticed that we made a mistake in predicting Notre Datne to beat Franklin by ten points recently Yep, we and several others were dou-ble-crossed by the Franklin five, which came out of its clump in that Notre Dame game and has been hit ting on all Might since then Decatur fans will have an opportunity to tee Coach France Conter’s Catholic high champions in action on the home floor again Friday night when St, John's high of Delphos, Ohio, plays a , return game with the locals. The fans should turn out and give the boys a real welcome home from their victorious jaunt into southern Indiana. The support at the home games has not been what it should be, when the locals are travelling at the pace they are this year. A team that hasn't lost a regular scheduled game in two years deserves to play to a full house at every game. The schedule for the Adams county eighth grade tourney, to be held .here on February 6, will be drawn next Saturday,. Fourteen teams have entered the tourney and indications nre that there will be several quintets in the race for the title. i A contributor to our column, to our surprise, took exception to a patagruph we had in the column Monday, in which we paid a compliment to the Catholic high team by saying that they should beat Delphos here Friday night if some of the players didn’t fall down and break a leg in the meantime. We simplyfelt sure that the locals would win the game and we had no other thought in mind when we wrote that paragraph. As we stated once last week, we are boosting all teams in Adams county first, last and always. However, we might get a surprise from the Delphos team Friday night. The Buckeyes, undoubtedly, have improved since Decatur played al Delphos. St. John’s high has an enviable record in basketball and the teams from that, school must not be taken too lightly. The Yellow Jackets are working hard this week in preparation for the game with Berne’s undefeated Fighting Five at Berne Friday night, and word comes from Berne that Coach Diltz’s quintet is working just as diligently. A great battle is expected when the two teas meet and anyone wanting a seat in the Berne community auditorium Friday night will have to eat supper a little earlier than usual, A victory’ for either Berne or Decatur Friday night will give that team a lot of confidence for the sectidnal tourney here. The result of the game will give the dopesters some food for thought in doping out the tourney. Tlie game scheduled between the Hartford Gorillas and the Lancaster Bob Cats for February 12 has been cancelled, according to an announcement made by lioth schools. The two teams have already played two games this season, the first resulting in a tie and the second in a victory for the Bob Cats. It must be nice to be able to eliminate the “if" altogether when you are doping your t-am through the sectional tourney. That is what George Purcell does in the Vincennes Sun. George says: "According io the regional and final tourney drawings for the state basketball eliminations. Vincennes high school

Luta, of Decatur, 'then gave an interesting address. "The greatest need of Adams county today,” said Mr. Lutz, "is something to draw us closer together. Adams county people always do the things that they feel is the right thing and if the people ‘of the county really fool what a real fair will mean Io them, they have the blood back of them to put it over.” He pointed out that the agricultural association and the county fair would not only benefit the conditions in th,? , cities ad tows of the couty. but also -the rural communities.
