I FIELD GOALQ I JL By MARK M. UPP kJ Contribs are conspicuous for their absence this morning, but clippings B wore pretty good so wo decided to have a column today. Will Wynn, one of the chief publicity agents for the Borno Fighting ■.Five, has come to life again. WHI has been doing his stuff, alright, bill | there was so much news and advertising matter that was more Important that i the Time Outs tyi>e found its way to the melting pot before It reached the B publid eye. Stew bad. Chick says, “Tickets for the Garrett game are 'bout sold.’ ” That m»ini a large crowd will be out to witness the game. The Decatur Yellow Jackets beat them, and we'll have to do It, too! If for only the base reason to save our necks from the sharp pricks of Mark’s column.—Will Wynn, Berne Witness. r . - il We're rooting for Berne, Will, so you should have no fears. A Bluffton fan writes to Out of Bounds in the Bluffton Banner: “We sure got some jabs from Mark M. Upp. of Decatur. 1 wonder if that a nil they- have to talk als>wt If It is, why don't they come to our face 8 and toll us. Our gym may look like a barn, but I dare say it looks as good f as Decatur’s. It's a wonder they don’t spout off about our team.” II There, there, now. Mustn’t get angry. That’s the first time we've ever heard an insulting remark about the Yellow Jackets' I play house. 1 B The Zion Reformed eagers looked good last night In that 40-16 win over the Huntington Reformed quintet. * “Beat Garrett, gang, and we've got you doped out for regional i champs."—Will Wynn. “l-°ok nvpr ,hc Ending of Adams county teams, fans, end nottte that the Yellow Jackets, by their own figures, have only won 4 games out of 17 V starts: Mark certainly must blush whenever he looks around in neighboring 1 counties and flings a jab at the poor playing of other teams. Berne now holds | the unlucky 15, so we wouldn't be surprised if they were stopped’real soon and forced to take the short end of a count. We wouldn't bet much on a team that had never tasted defeat when it comes to playing in a sectional.” ' —Out of Bounds, Bluffton Banner. And ain t it too bad that one of those four victories was won at i the expense of the Bluffton Taggers. Besides, Outta, we're backing nine other teams in Adams county besidee the Yellow Jackets and two of them have a much better percentage than any Wells county team. We haven't been accused, so far. of using rouge when we made any of those said “jabs" about Wells county teams. Ha! Ha! (These last'two exclamations are added to show Outta we're not angry.) The Monroeville high school eagers, champions of Allen county, exchi-' sive of Fort Wayne teams, will meet the Monmouth quintet at the D. H. 8 gym tonight. Monmouth is prepared for this game and a great battle is expected. > The Commodores are all set for their battle with St. Mary's high of Huntington here Friday night. Coach Conter and his men are not expecting an easy time with the Huntington crew and they have left no stones unturned in practice this week to strengthen their defense and offense for this game. With Strickler, center and leading scorer, in poor condition on account of an injured knee, the Yellow Jackets face a difficult task at Portland Friday night. Although the Panthers have sent out a bear story regarding their prospects for tomorrow night, Coach Kennedy and his men are expecting the Jay county lads to have their full strength on the floor. “The Fort Wayne Knight* of Columbus team put on an exhibition game with the Miami Indian* Monday night, winning by a 46 to 19 score. The four personal foul limit was waived and at the end of the game the doughty Ralph Miller had eight personal fouls to his credit. Chadwick, five, Shimek, four and Stonebraker, four. Must* been a nice neighborly game."—Crowds on the Sidelines, Huntington Press. - From 'all reports, the game between the Caseys and Washington last night must have been another one of those neighborhood arguments. Tim cops got a workout throughout the contest and were on the floor about as much as the players and referee, it is said. Purdue pulled the unexpected and lost to Illinois at Urbana last night. Now that the Boilermakers have lost three games and are practically out Os the race, they likely will rally and hand the Indiana University quintet a lacing Saturday night and make It three losses for the Crimson and also put them out of the running We’d like to see an Indiana team win that conference rag this year, because we feel confident that the Hoosier institutions have the best material In the circuit. S' The game between Hartford township and Rockcreek, of Wells county. i at the D. H. S. gyin here Saturday night ought to be a first class entertain- ‘ ment. Rockcreek holds the edge over all other Wells county teams this season. Today's question and answer: Q--A foul is called during intermission between halves; when is the free throw to be attempted? A—lt Is to bo attempted during the intermission and whether made or missed, the ball is dead.

The Berne quintet will play’ the Petroleum high school team at Petroleum on Saturday night. , ■——o— Caseys Defeat Washington ' Club In League Game,27-21 Fort Wayne, Feb. 11.—By converting personal fouls committed by the visitors into points, the Fort Wayne Knights of Columbus basketball team defeated the Washington Palace Club quintet in an American Jx?ague game here last night. 27-24.
