Qo)'A’ DOOT TOWNSHIP TEAM DEFEATED Washington Township Five Wins, 42-5; Preble Panthers Lose To Ossian The Root township farmers, champion farmers’ basketball team of Adams county last year, met their W’aterloo last night in a team from Washington township and were swamped by a score of 42-5. The game was played as a preliminary to the game between the Preble Panthers and Ossian Maroons at the old gymnasium here. The Panthers took the short end of a 39-23 score. The Washington township team was made up of farmers, school teach- , ers and factory employes and they proved to be too adept in the art of handling ihe leather sphere tor the Root township farmers. The first half ended 22-5 amt the Root team was shut out in the second half. Beal and Coppess led in the scoring with eight field goals each. The Preble Panthers led 14-8 at the end of the first half of their game with Ossian, but the sensatiota’. goal shooting of Ferguson, coach of the Ossian high school team, who was sent into the game in the second half, spelled defeat for the Panthers. Ferguson dropped in eight field goals in the second frame and hatdly one of them touched th“ rim. He missed only <ne long shot at the basket and one elose up toss went em’ss. Borror was the only other Ot,elan player able to do much scoring. He counted five field goals and five free throws. Corson was high point man for Preble, with five field goals and four free throws to his credit. Lineups and summary: Root Twp. (5) Washington (42) Ed. Alberding .....F— Beal M.

Ready For Contest The basketball teams representing the Zion Reformed and First Methodist churches went through their final workouts last night in preparation for the game to be played in the D ’catur high school gymnasium Thursday -night. Both teams are in good condition for the contest and an interesting and hard-fought game is expected. A largh number of tickets have been sold for the game, which will be a benefit for the building fund of each church. Tickets may be obtained from members of the Girls' Missionary Guild of the Reformed church, or from Dee Fryback. The dope favors the Reformed eagers, since they have been playing together all season and have engaged in several games with out-of-town teams. However, there is much good material available for the Methodist quintet and the team may spring a surprise. A preliminary game will be played by the Reformed church junior team and the fifth grade boys from the Central school, starting at 7:15 o’clock. The main game will start at 8:15 o'clock, and M. A. Kennedy, coach of the high school team, will I referee.
