COMMODORES SEAT BELLEVUE Ohio Team Puts Up Good. Battle In First Half, But Lose 40 To 29 After being played on even tonne throughout the first half, the Catholic high school Commodore® pulled away from the Bellevue, Ohio, Catholic high quintet in the second half and turned in a 40-29 victory over the Buckeyes in a game played In the Catholic gymnasium here Wednesday night.' The Commodores held a 14 12 lead at the end of the half. In the preliminary game, the Catholic high seconds defeated the Monroe high school first team, 24-11. The two teams fought on even terms in the first half, but the locals pulled away | to an easy victory in the second period. Wemhoff Opens Scoring. In the big game, both teams missed several close-up shots at the start of the contest and three or four minutes had been played before Wemhoff, , Commodore center, snagged a long field goal from near center. Meyers soon counted on a short shot and with Decatur leading. 6-0, Bellevue took , time out. The Buckeyes fought back gamely but the first quarter ended with Decatur leading 6-2. The Ohio team came back with a lot of strength at the start of the second quarter and soon the, score was tied at 8-8, and then Bellevue took the lead at 10-8. The Commodores quickly tied the score, however, and went into the lead , again, holding a comparatively safe margin during the remainder of the j game. Bellevue started another rally in the fourth quarter, after the Commodores had taken a commanding lead and reduced the margin to eight points,, but the Commodores got busy | again just before the fcame ended and pulled away to an 11-point lead. North Shines For Bellevue. Wednesday night’s game was the first of the season ‘for the Bellevue team and, considering tire fat-t' that they had had no experience this season, their teamwork was good. The Buckeyes’ teamwork in the first half probably outclassed that of the Commodores, but the second half went to the locals. North was the big star for the invaders, the big center getting nine field goals, besides controlling the tip off much of the time. Mey-1 er and Wemhoff again led the Commodores offense with 8 and 7 field goals, respectively. The Commodores will go to Delphos, Ohio, tonight to play the St. John’s Catholic high school team of that city. Several fans will accompany the 'earn.

In the final thirty seconds of play, gave the Decatur high school Yellow Jackets a 21-19 victory over their old rivals, the Auburn high school eagers, in one of the most exciting and well played basketball games ever seen in Auburn, Wednesday night. Hardly bad Bebout’s field goal dropped through the net before the timer’s gun cracked, ending the contest. Decatur Girls Defeated. The Decatur high school girls were

I defeated by the Auburn girls In the IHi st game of the evening, by a score |of 29-H. The Auburn girls were much I ' taller and heavier than the Decatur i lassies, and this advantage was a big I factoMn their victory. I Soon after the start of the boys' |, game, lt<was evident that the contest would be a close guarding game. The score stood 1 tn 1 for some time, before Decatur took the lead. At one time in the first half, Decatur led. 85, and this was the largest lead held t by either team during the game. The j first half ended with Decatur leading, i 8-7. Coach Curtis had substituted Bell for Reynolds, at floor guard during (he first half. ,1 Auburn Takes Lead. | Both teams continued their close guarding in the second half. The | score was tied several times and I Auburn at one time forged ahead, 1311. This was the otily time during the game that Auburn was In the lead. Somers was substituted for Bebout at , one time In the second half and played for about three minutes. Bebout then returned to the game and soon counted’ a field goal. With the score knotted at 19-all and only to play, Bell passed the ball to Bebout under the basket and the latter tossed in the winning marker. Walter, of Auburn, led in the scoring, with five field goals to his credit. I Bebout sank three field goals, Bell I two and Krick two, Krick making his lon tosses from near center. Annadell failed to score from the field, but he took few shots at the basket and confined his efforts to teamwork and guarding. The entire Decatur team played a strong guarding game and i was cool under fire. Funk, the star center of the Auburn team, made only two field goals during the game. | Decatur’s next game is with Gar- ; rett, in this city. December 3.

Upp jj } The two Decatur high school teams sure turned in impressiv victories Wednesday night. The Yellow Jackets’ victory over Auburn, at Auburn, while not by a big score, is impressive since Auburn is jated high among the teams in this part of the state. Auburn opened the basketball season a|?out three weeks ago, also, while the Yellow Jackets have been on the hardwood only about two weeks. The Comodores had a hard tight with Bellevue. Ohio, eagers in the first half of their game Wednesday night, but the pace was too fast for the Buckeyes and they wilted in the second period. It was the first game of the season lor Bellevue,, however, and the Ohio crew may give the Commodores a hard battle when the two teams meet at Bellevue, March 4. Frankfort's Fighting Five met defeat for the firsj time this season, when Delphi heat Case's men. 29-28, at Frankfort Wednesday night. Paul Lostetter, former coach of the Frankfort team, is coaching at Delphi this year. We imagine Paul got a nice kick out of beating Frankfort. He failed to turn the trick while coaching at Franklin a few years ago. Vincennes. Franklin and Kokomo al! took defeats Wednesday night. Defeats have been uncommon for teams representing those four schools for (he last few years, but times have changed. Marion’s state champs opened their 1926-27 season Wednesday night by trouncing Noblesville. 54-41. Portland’s Panthers got away to a bad start by 'losing to Redkey Wednesday night. 29-25. Coach Powell didnot have a single letter man around!
