FIELD GOALC I I By MARK M. UPP kJ | Th.- Martinsville eagers couldn't break down those b>‘ini|»d»i ft.mi Marlon on Friday night, but they weakened their joints enough that the 1 beanpoles tumbled down when the Bloomington Panthers bumped into them I on Saturday night. Bloomington beats Marion. 31-19, on the night after Marion beat Martinsville. 47-32. and Logansport beats Bloomington, 4030. Bloomington beat Huntington only ten points and Fort Wayne South Side trimmed Hutington, 28-19 Friday night. Fort Wayne Central lost to South Side by a two point margin in an overtime game and Central wan trum the Decatur Yellow Jackets, 31-30. Therefore. Marion is 15 points betver than Martinsville and Bloomington is 12 points better than Marion, one point better than South Side and three points better than Decatur. Duck! There comes a brick. And it isn't the hunk ul clay that goes tn the state champions, neither. “Help! Help! That's the SOS call sen’ out last night by the Decatur Yellow Jackets from the Berne auditorium. Tlie Yellow Jackets invaded the camp of the Berne Fighting Five and “got took" 27-21.”—Out of Pounds of tlm Bluffton Banner. Whenever the Yellow Jackets start out looking for help, you won't hear item buzzing around in Bluffton. "V. . as wo expected, the Decatur Yellow Jackets camo out second host in a game at Berm- last night, the score being 27 to 21. At the half tlm count was 11-all. It was Berne's twelfth victory and they have met some good teams." flip Offs in tlm Bluffton News. Try This On Your Dictionary “The Yellow Jackets belong to the family, Vespa. Their food is various, animal or vegetable, but most of them do not store up supplies, and the colony is destroyed by the cold season. Now what do you think of that?” —Will Wynn in the Berne Witness. Recently. we played a little rough with Casual Comment in tlm Vincennes Sun and expressed our opinion that he was a lit.le partial to the Vincennes high school team and didn't give due credit to tlm other teams in his fair iiy. After reproducing that paragraph in his column under tlm heading, "We're Bawled Out," he comments as fallows: "Well, we’ve waited for a long time to get to quote something from this upstate columnist, and this is what wo drew. However, as far as tlm paragraphs go. perhaps the high school does get tlm big end of it. but that is because other columnists over the state are talking “high school" instead of other teams. But we don't know when we've failed to give preferred position to the university, Y. M. C. A, ami other schools in the county and surrounding territory." Coach Foley's Monmouth high eagers started a little winning streak over tlm week-end and chalked up two victories. Pleasant Mills ami Geneva fell victims. Monmouth passed Monroe in the standing of Adams county trams and now holds fifth position. Monroe, by the way. pushed Kirkland's Kangaroos hard to 4,<-at them Saturday night. Tlm game between Bluffton and Ilunlinglon. scheduled Io )m played al Huntington next Saturday night, will be played on Wednesday night, on recount of several of the Vikings taking part in a swimming meet to be held in Huntington Saturday night. Tlm Vikings of Huntington won another game Saturday night, (mating Wabash again. Il's lucky for Huntington that they resinned athletic relations with Wabash Ibis year. The Yellow Jackets have two games scheduled for next week end. Garrett plays a return game here on Friday night and on Saturday night Coach Kenedy’s men go out of the state for a game at Van Wert. Let's take both of ’em, gang. It can be done and it has to be | done. The Commodores also have two encounters ahead of them next Friday and Saturday. On Friday night comes tlm all-important contest with C. C. 11. S. al Fort Wayne. If the locals get by that game with an unsoiled record, they are practically assured of a trip Io the national tourney at Chicago in March. A large crowd of fans will accompany tlm Cbmtimdori s to Wayne. Then on Saturday night, the Commodores will piny their only game of the -.M-i n with nn tdnm < count" opponent, meeting Kitki.iml at the Catholic high gym. This should lie an interesting contest, too 1 . Another gaum scheduled for Friday night is the Hartford-Berne contest al Berne. The southern hull’ of the county and maybe more will gather al the Berne community auditorium to see this game. The one and only Monto Oh! speaks again: "Dear Field Goals: It appears as though all contributors Io Onceover's ■ -oliimn in the News are frantically indulged in the sport of razzing the olficials who spend a good deal of their time in refereeing basketball games (and Rough ones, too).
