FIELD ZV GOALS, By WWk MarkM.Upp /JpTjj Seven straight and atill astralghtin' nays a Commodorp fan. The Commodores showed considerable improvement in their game with Gibault last plght. Although they had a few bad .streaks, their playing as a whole was good. TJiey came through with rallies when most needed. Gibault put up a scrappy fight. Although always behind, the Vincennes crew kept fighting and once in the second half closed up the gap to one lone point. Captain Kohnen is a nice long shot artist. Next comes the Yellow Jacket-Bluff-ton game, here Friday night, if you don't have a reserved seat, you’d better have supper early Friday evening. \Ve have a lunch that the YellowJackets' playhouse is going to be filled to the rafters. The St. Joe-Central eighth grade gamp last night was a typical St. Joe-Central battle. The St. Joe boys got the jump on Central and piled up an 11-3 lead in the first half. The second half was a different story, the blue clad boys from Central outscoring St. Joe, 10-6. but that first half lead proved sufficient to win the game for St. Joe. The two teams appeared to be evenly matched again this season, and the winners of the annual series between the two teams can not be picked with any degree of certainty now. George "Shorty” Laurent, coach of St. Joe, and Bryce “Tommy” Thomas Central coach, deserve much credit for the showing of the two teams last night. Both teams played smart basketball for grade boys and despite the intense rivalry, the sportsmanship was excellent. We have read a lot of first class “bear stories” and may have written one or two that got by, ourselves, but the Blufftlgn Bauder wins the trophy with this one: “Charley horses, worts and corns will play a big part in the Tiger and Decatur basketball game at Decatur Friday night, according to a survey made at the Tiger camp this morning. Five fetter men will be unable to play the whole game, owing to the above mentioned afflictions. The outlook for victor, o', -:r 't Ada -i» county f;xc is net .at <4i rosey. owing to the fact that Baxter, Swigert and Crosbie are suffering with Charley horses, and Rudy, one of the lettermen and a regular is suffering with corns and worts on the bottom of his feet, which will prevent him from playing the whole game against the Yellow Jackets.

Os the squad, Is still suffering from I an Injury he received at Rock- j creek Center, two weeks ago.” j It Is reported that Ellenberger, I Hiufftun forward, has tt fever blister. I •nd the other members of the squad, I are suffering fron Ingrown toe nails. I This report h«p not yet been verified. I An announcement made In Bluff- I ton yesterday comes ar a great dissap- I polntnrent to Yellow Jacket players I and fans. The Bluffton city council I I ruled that the new city building and I community gymnasium must not be I used before the dedication on January I 24. That means that the Decatur-Bluff- I . ton game in Bluffton on iJecember 29 I must be played in the old church. I school house or what-not on Cherry I street. W e had hoped that the Tigers I would entertain us in their new den I this year. I l| The Commodores go to Hunt- ■ ington Friday night to play St. I Mary's high of that city. This ! should be a good game, as the I Lime City crew is reported to be I strong this year, and the two I schools are rivals of long stand- I ing. I This From Fort Wayne I "Decatur seems to be one of the I strongest fives in this section this j season and has not lost a game so I far. Coach Herbert Curtis, brought I from Monrovia, has worked up a I smooth working machine and has a I five composed of players who -can I be counted on to give Central a bat- I tie Saturday night. Central has the I grid upset to avenge but Decatur has I always been the Tigers “Jinx" and I may continue to be so Saturday, al- I though the Blue quintet and tans are I counting strongly on breaking into I the win column over the week-end.” I —News-Sentinel, Fort Wayne. I The sport writer for the Port- | — land Sun got off a good one when I he wrote: “The Matthews Old I Orchards were pruned, trimmed I and pared down to saplings when I they met the local independent j basketball five on the local j Armory floor last evening." I —Portland won, 60-22. I The Huddle System . I “Carlisle worked the huddle sys- I tern in a basketball game against I Oaktown the other night and de- I feaied them. These two towns are I about 5 miles away from each other, I the former in Sullivan and the latter I in Knox county, and are ancient ri- I vals. But the danger about the huddle I system is that there is to much like- I hood of getting all the rubber head I bands mixed up during the huddle.” I —Casual Comment, Bloomington I World. I o S How to Gain 5 Pounds I in 30 Days I Ask Holthouse Drug Co., or any I druggist for a box of McCoy's Cod I Diver Oil Compound Tablets. They I cost but little, are sugar coated and I as pleasant to take as candy. I >kinnv men and women-tak:: them 1 to speedily put on plenty cf good I healthv, solid flesh, and for this pur- I pose they are so extremely good that I thin men and women often take on 5 I pounds or more in 30 days. As a I matter of fact, all druggists are auth- I orized to return your money if you I don't take on 5 pounds in 30 days. I One thin woman gained 15 pounds I in six weeks. I Insist on McCoy's, the original and ■ genuine—6o Tablets 60 cents. I
