VIELD GOALQ | 1 By MARK M. UPP kJ Have you bought your tournament ticket yet? Principal Walter Krick says the fans have caught the tournament spirit right, and the season tickets are going rapidly. There will be several holly contested games, so why not. Dear Mark M. Upp: My dope on the sectional tournament is: Berne to beat Monmouth, 12 points; Monroe to beat Jefferson, 8 points: Kirkland to beat Geneva 9 points; Hartford to beat Pleasant Mills. 23 points: Berne to beat Decatur, 7 points: Kirkland to beat Monroe, 17 points; Berne to beat Hartford, 8 points; Berne to beat I Kirkland, 5 points.—A Berne Rooter. There appears to have lieen some fans at Berne who believed that there had been unfair work in drawing the schdulejor the tournamnet here, but Superintendent Jeffrey of the Berne schools put a stop to the idle chatter by having printed in the Berne papers a statement in which he described the working of the Indiana High School Athletic Association and the manner in which the schedules for the tournaments are drawn. Berne did draw a hard schedule in the tournament, and so did Decatur, but it was there lot. J II (’lark one of the referee* assigned to the local tournament, bails from Winchester, it was learned today. We have heard nothing concerning ids work, but we do know that he has a mighty fine official to work with, in Ford Griffith, of Auburn. New uniforms have been ordered for the Catholic high Commodores and they will be here in time for the boys to wear them to the national tournament at Chicago, in case an invitation is received. St. Mel’s high of Chicago, the team that eliminated the Commodores in an overtime game in the semi-finals of the national tourney last year and then won the national title, has lost three straight games in the < atholic high school league of Chicago and I'k.dy will not be invited to the tournament to defend its title this year. Ixiyola high has won 8 games and *>st none, while St. Ignatius has won 7 and lost 1. The Hartford Gorillas lost a game to the Bluffton reserves Saturday night and the defeat was not counted in the team standing published in the Democrat yesterday. Hartford’s record should read 13 victories and six defeats, or a per centage of .684. The defeat does not change Hartford’s position in the standing of Adams county teams, however, the Gorillas finishing third. Tho Yellow Jackets are going through strenuous workouts during the first part of this week in preparation for the tournament. Coach Kennedy will ease up on practice sessions toward the end of the weak, so that the team will be in good condition for its first game Saturday morning. liar Mark M. Upp: This is about the first time In the memory of this Kangaroo fan that Kirkland has had a comparatively easy schedule. I'm hoping and expecting to see the Kangaroos in the final game. Hartford and Decatur are my choice to battle it out in the semi-finals in the other half Berne will certainly deserve credit if she can come through with a victory over Monmouth. Decatur, Hartford and Kirkland. Here's my choice of all-district teams: First Forwards: Monee. Hartford; Ellenberger, Berne. Center: Strickler, Decatur. Guards: F. Arnold. Kirkland; Heller, Kirkland. Second Forwards: Smith, Berne. Zwick, Decatur. Center: Bagley, Berne. Guards: Baumgartner. Berne; Eicher, Hartford. Here’s wishing good luck to the winner.—A Kangaroo from Kirkland.
