:l FIELD GOALQ ’’ UJL By MARK M. UPP kJ • ,ibT~' -v—-————1 • 5^S .. r= - f : r| We hereby nominate Monmouth for the dark horse honors in the secg tlonal tournament here. Foley’s men did eonio nice playing last night in defeating Monroeville, Allen county ciuMups. The pass work if the Monmouth players was probably their best work. f Purman, Manrosvill* center, is truly a polished ball player, t He passe* carefully and cautiously, shoots with accuracy and is s strong on the defense. The “victory brick" goes back to Muncie's Bearcats. Marion t high sehqol has voluntarily forfeited the games played with Huntington and Muncie because Babe Rickar, an ineligible substitute, s was used in those two games. Marion won both games, taking the B "victory brick’’ home after the Muncie game. We suppose Vincennes’ Alice* ar* happy since this new* cam* out, a* th* Alices will h»v* a chence to win the brick Saturday night, when the Muncie t.Bercet* play at Vincennes B That Marion game credited as a victory will sure help out Huntington's record for the season. Congratulations, Cash. "Dear Field Goals: After having interviewed the supervising Daniel Webster, tho unexcelled Solomon, the non deviating Col. Mitchell, and all the fortune tellers, spiritualists, philosophers, prophets, and the like, avail- , able, I have come to the conclusion that the team that wins her sectional regional, and state finals shall be, without doubt, crowned the State Champions. In plain language, the one team that does not lose a contest in tournament play. Now, how could that be wrong? By the way, if this is not satisfactory to everyone, w-ell well, just don't get too angry and tell us our mistake, that’s all. Well, anyway I'm sure this team won’t be Bluffton. Heh! Heh! 1 hope that shocks no one. Who said the Yellow Jackets wouldn't beat Portland? Maybe no one, but if some one did, I wish to tell him. she, or it, that he, she, or it is all wet. It. ought to be at least ten points, but it'll take the old Yellow Jacket fight to do it, the gang. ‘Rite’ or ’rong.’ I’m goin' ta ’ang up. Sincerely, Monty Oh' "P. 8. Our idea of Southing Worlh While —Trying to make Will Wynn sign off when he starts broadcasting.” Don’t forget that the Commodore* meet St. Mary's Catholic “ f Huntington here tonight. The visitors wil give Coach Conter’s men a hard fight and the game ought to be filled with thrills. Berne is all het up over the game between the Fighting Five and Garrett tonight. A crowd equal to the one at the Berne-Decatur game two weeks ago, is expected. Seevral fans will accompany the Yellow Jackets to Portland tonight for their game with the Panther*. While not in the best of condition. Coach Kennedy's men are a determined bunch of eagers and they fully expect to bring home the bacon. "The local Reformed church team, composed of high school students, had a nice time at Decatur last night. They played the Decatur Reformed quintet, composed of ex-college and high school vets. The final score was; Decatur, 39; Huntington, 16. Rus Ade and Recce Huffman of the Huntington crew crashed through for four personals and a touchdown shortly before the | contest ended.” —Crowds on the Sidelines, Huntington Press. “After we get through reading about the Red Devils, the Norsemen, th* Yellow Jackets and the Vikings, some of those beautiful team nomenclature* by which they disguise their teams upstate, we grew weary of trying to figure out who they are and just let them go by with a ho-hum."—Casual Comment, Vincennes Sun. HERE’S A COUPLE OF “HO-HUMS” FOR THE HATCHETS, PAN | THERS, BULL DOGS, ALICES AND THE PIONEERS OF SOUTHERN , INDIANA. M ] “The Yellow Jackets have lost 13 games already this season but here are I a feo of their conquerors, Central Tigers of Fort Wayne, by one point; j Van Wert, Garrett, Auburn, Bluffton and • Lancaster. The Yellow Jackets ] tackled a real schedule this season and next to the Fighting Five, they’re t the best team in the district, even though their standing would not Indi- | cate this. There will be oodles and oodles of excitement in the district < tourney whfen the Yellow Jackets and the Blue and White mix. How s this for an all-district team?: i Forwards: Ellenberger, of Berne; Monee, of Hartford and F. Arnold, of i Kirkland. i Centers: Bagley, of Berne and Strickler, of Decatur. < Guards: Baumgartner, of Berne, Moser and Dierkes, of Decatur. ] Officially approved by “Sambo." < No, we weren’t drinking when we wrote that.’’ —Sport Shorts, Berne | Review. i \ „ — —— ( Shocking! "Miss Wills Electrifies Spectators at Tourney," says a headline in the , .Decatur Democrat. Galvanting around, ’spose, creating too many rackets i away from home?”—Casual Comdicnt, Vincennes Suu. • This encounter between Hartford township’s Gorillas and the Rockcreek Dodgers at th* Decatur high school gym Saturday night has all the ear marks of an honest-to-goodness ball game. Rock- < creek is the best example of basketball as it’s played in Wells county today. Go get ’em, Gorillas. The first thing we know, someone is going to accuse us of being uffili- ( ated with the scissors trust. There’ll be no more clippings today. | Today's question and answer: Q —When the bull is tossed tip by ihc i referee in center or elsewhere, are both players obliged to jump and snake ( an effort to tap tho bail? A—No. IL however, neither player taps the , ball, the referee should toss it tsp again at the same place and order both ] players to jump and make an effort to tap it. Failure to comply with the ( referee's order is a foul on one or for delaying the game. •
