BLUFFTON FIVE DOWNSG.E.,3I-15 Local Quintet Loses To Blufl'ton Junior Moose In Opening Game Here The General Electric basketball team met a real tartar in the Bluff-■ ton Junior Moose quintet last night. ■ and the locals suffered a 3115 defeat in their first game of the season. The' game was played in the Decatur high s hool gymnasium and a fair sited crowd of fans was present. The Bluffton team is composed mainly of former Bluffton high school , stars. Gerber and High, the two forwards. were members of last year's . high school team, and it was their | goal throwing that spelled defeat for , the Gt E. team last night. High made four field goals and two free throws I , while Gerber sank six goals from the | field and four from the free throw line ; The Decatur players showed a great t weakness in goal-shooting. Had they j

made a good per cent of their shots which were from easy scoring distance the score would have been mu h closer. Bluffton opened the scoring when Noble dropped in a pretty field goal shortly after the game started. Ger ber and High started hitting and the score was 9-0 before the locals broke the ice with a free throw. The first half ended with Bluffton leading 18-7 The scond half was played on more even terms, but the visitors still held an edge, and three field goals shortly before the end of th game put them far out in front. Kleinknight led the locals in scoring with two field goals and one free throw. The G. E. Band gave a concert be fore the game and between halveThe preliminary game was played by two teams composed of Decatur higl school boys. The winners scored 2. points to the losers' 15. Zwick am Eng'e played best for the winners while Shoaf starred for the losers. Lineups and summaries: G. E.

Huntington High School Football Schedule Out Huntington, Nov. 17.—Huntington high school will have a nine game football schedule next year, according to a partially completed list of games by Coach Paul Kriegbaum yesterday. The Vikings will meet two newcomers, Bluffton and North Side of Fort Wayne, while the usual four Wabash Valley Conference games will be played wnth Wabash. Logansport, Kokomo and Peru. The three other non-confer-ence games will be with Warsaw. Columbia City and Goshen. An effort was made to schedule a [rum/. ix.ifVx I) r-ir.nr.r't♦ Vi

game with Rochester, the new member of the Wabash Valley Football Conference, but the two schools could I not agree on a date for the contest. | Four of the nine games will be played here, the first three opponents meetin'’ the Vikings in Huntington while Columbia City will fill the Homecoming date on Nov. 4. The Schedule follows: Sept. 17 —Wabash, here. Sept. 24—Logansport, here. Sept. 30 —North Side, here, pending ■ Oct. 8. Bluffton, there, pending. Oct. 15.—Kokomo, there. Oct. 19. Peru, there. Oct. 29—Warsaw, there. Nov. 4. —Columbia City, here. Nov. 12. —Goshen, there. (Pending) 1 Either Portland or Decatur may fill the Bluffton date if arrangements cannot be completed with the Wells county school, it was said, while the game with Goshen is also doubtful because of a conflicting date which the northern school has on its schedule. Coach Kriegbaum, starting the seasen with only four veterans, made a good record during his first football season here, and the outlook is good for a successful season on the gridiron in 1927. Twelve veterans will be left from this season. o Square Dance Wednesday night at Sun Set. Thanksgiving turkey given away free. It

FIELD GOALS p® MarkM.Upp /I— si The Commodores set sail tonight. The Bluffton Junior Moose team, which decisively defeated the G. E. quintet last night, should turn n a lot of victories this season. Jack Gerber and High will score plenty of points and the whole team guards well. Bluffton high school certainly will miss Gerber this year. Members of the G. E. team ought to put up a barrel hoop in their room and practice basket shooting every night for a while. The Electricians got a lot of nice shots at the basket last

night, but blew entirely too many. With more practice, the locals ought to show much better I form. Prine pal Walter Krick is trying to schedule a good, team for the Yellow Jacket reserves to play as a curtain raiser to the Decatur-Monroeville game Friday night. Indications are that a big crowd of fans will be on hands to see the Commodores and Hertford Gorillas battle at the Catholic high school gym tonight. There should be plenty of entertainment. A new column, “Swishing the Net" by D. Ribble. appeared in the Port- : land Commercial-Review yesterday. ■ Again we say welcome. ■ > i . No Letter Men Back z “Basketball practice started Monday night. There were about fifty men out to win berths on the squad. There are no lettVr men back this year, but Coach Powell will probab-' ly have a team that will be hard to beat.” —Swishing The Net, Portland. There is a possibility that Decatur will be placed on Huntington high school's football sched- ■ ule for next year. There is a disagreement over the date arranged for the Bluffton Tigers and if this cannot be settled. Decatur likeiy will get the date. We’d like to see the Yellow Jackets ana Vik'ngs resume football relations. They will meet twice in basketball this winter.

THREE PLAYERS ARE OUTSTANDING i Hoeringer, Notre Dame; Born, Army; Connaughton,' Georgetown, Rate High (By Henry L. Farrell) New York. Nov. 17. • (United Pre.-) I There are only eleven positions on a ■ fcotball team and there can he only eleven playeis on an All American team. And therein comes again, as a great season approaches the finish, the battle to pick fiorn hundreds of great football players, the less thau a dozen stars who can be given football's greatest citation. There are ends, tnckles. guards. 1 centers and backs all over a national < gridiron w-ho are great football plays erg but the greatest of them may be 9 on small teams who have not bad ,• the good fortune to get the spotlight of publicity. | Notre Dante, after beating the Army last Saturday looked to bo the greatest team in the country, and for that reaosn it might be advanced that Notre Dame's team should be the All-American team. I But there are so many good players on the Notre Dame squad that Knute Rockno himself might not be ’ able to pick an all-Notre Dame team

for 1926. There are, however, three positions on the all-American team this year that seem to be cinched. Boeringer. of Notre Dame, certainly Is the .All-Aractiran center. Born. of. the Army, certainly is an all-Ameri-1 ■ can end and Babe Connaughton, of . Georgetown certainly is an all Amer-, ican guard. .1 They are on y three—but outstanding ones—in a season that has been . pronounced for the number of great line players. Among the outstanding ends are Bern; Voedisch and Maxwell, of Notre Dame; Broda. of Brown; Flora and Oosterbaan. of Michigan: Thay-, 'er, of Pennsylvania; Hanson of Syracuse; Hubbard of Geneva and Kassell of Illinois. The tackles are Lassman, of New York U.; Raskowski of Ohio State; Eddy and Wickhorst, of the Navy;
