Here's some of his stuff: "Little is known of the strength of the Decatur team, but it has always been ths custom that when opposing teams were thought to be weak, they show-ed unexpected strenght. Last Saturday is a good example of this. In their opening game, the De 1 catur eleven was defeated by Auburn. 6-0. and last Saturday, they lost bj- the same score to Columbia City.

Photo shows Babe Ruth, King of Swat, crossing tlx* plate in tlx first inning, scoring the first Yankee run of the afternoon after swatting a home run out of Sportsman's Park. He later scored two more homers and was given two xvalks, therefore establishing a new world's record for a daily hatting average. The Yanks took this, the fourth same of the series, bv a score of 10 to 5.

We'd advise Coach Powell to bring his first team along, anyway. Speaking of new columns, a new one has broken out in the Winchester Daily News. It is “Snappy Sport Sparks." by Reid M. Well. Since Winchester high school >|oes not play football, the column is devoted mainly to basketball activities. According to the Winchester columalst. there is plenty of the said basketball activity down there already. We’re Mad Twice Next Saturday the Panthers go to Decatur. Oh Soy, that gives us all a chance to go. It will be the first game away from home for the high school squad. Too bad, that Portland went down in defeat Saturday because t we are afraid they will be so | “mad.” —Kenny Pass. Portland. I Don't forget to decorate far the game Saturday. Speaking from Experience? “Willie Punt of Decatur, is back in line again today shouting challenges to the Panthers at Porrt land. Willie predicts that his Yellow Jackets will rout the Panthers when they come to Decatur next Saturday. Willie always did get the jump on the other the game even started.”-—Buck-ner, Bluffton Banner. Bluffton high school is starting a* new season ticket system this year. | Season tickets, which will admit the holder to all athletic events during ’ the year, including football, basketball and baseball, are sold at $5 to' school children and $lO to adults. A' man who buys a ticket for himself and one for his wife, gets the second, ticket at $5. The plan sounds good. Sidelines, in the Huntington Press, just can’t get over the shock he received when Kokomo's Kitties licked the Vikings last Saturday. He gets a lot of consolation, however, out of the fact that the Marion Giants took 1 another lacing last - Saturday, this I time at the hands of Roosevelt high,' of Dayton. Ohio, by a score of 13-7. Sidelines says: 1 "Marion, the team that was go- " ing to burn through the season

without a defeat, met a second setback at Dayton last Saturday. Roosevelt high downed the G'ants 13 to 7. At the beginning of the season Mariol fans remarked that this year it wouldn’t be a question of “Are we going to beat them.” but "How bad are we going to defeat them?" If Wabash high school didn't have a migbty good football team this fall we might take offense at a paragraph written by "Off the Bat,” in the Goshen Daily Democrat, in which he calls the Hillclimbers, Yellow Jackets. But we do feat like calling the error to his attention. The name Yellow Jackets, in th# athletic world means DECATUR. A YELLOW JACKET FIGHTS. X — | Last week, we pleaded with the Yellow Jackets to fight in the Coluni-1 bia City game and THEY FOUGHT. This week, we're pleading for a victory in the Portland game. Remember the kick-off is scheduled for 2:40 p.m sharp. Saturday. o—- —, ATHLETIC ASS’N. NATES OFFICERS "Bill” Bell Elected President Os D. H. S.
