YELLOW JACKETS LOSE TO CENTRAL Fort Wayne Team Scores 27-18 Win Over I). 11. S. Varsity Saturday Night The Decatur high school Yellow Jackets fought a stubborn battlq with their old rivals, the Fort Wayne Central high school Tigers, on the South Side high school floor at Fort Wayne. Saturday night, but the Tigers, smarting under three straight defeats, started hitting for the first time this season and they scored a 27-19 victory over Coach Curtis’ Quintet. It was the first defeat of the season for the yellow Jackets. The defense of the two teams was practically equal, and the nine point margin in the score represented the difference in the offenses of the two ' teams. *or rather the ability to make shots at the basket count. The Yellow Jackets were not hitting. The game, which started out like a thriller and gave promise of being one of the best games of the season, was spoiled by very spotty refereeing. True, the Tigers outplayed the Yellow Jackts Saturday night and deserved to win. but the work of the official took all of the pleasure out of the game for both Decatur and Central fans. The fans from both schools, and there was , a large delegation backing each team, conducted ‘themselves in fine style. • considering the strong rivalry between the two schools. The Yellow Jackets scored first, when. Rebout converted a Tiger foul into one point. Jasper. Central center who was placed on the mythical ailstate second team last year, scored a field goal. Bebout evened the score at 2-all with another free throw. A free throw and two field goals gave Central a 7-2 lead, but Joe Krick heaved in a long field goal and Bell sank two free throws, closing the gap to one point. The Tigers scored a field goal ’ and two free throws and Gerber kept the Yellow Jackets in the running with a short field goal. Bell sank another throw and the store stood. 11-9. It was at this point of the game that Jasper and Dornte "got hot" and gave the Tigers the lead that spelled victory. Jasper connected for two field goals and Dornte sank three in short order before Decatur scored again. Jasper j broke through the Decatur defense! and scored his two baskets on short shots, but Dornte hit from long range. Bebout, who had been doing some great work at the free throw line, I dropped in another free toss and Bell followed suit, making the score 21-11. Reynolds was substituted for Gerber. Dornte scored one point on Aunadcll s personal. Bebout ended the scoring for the half by sinking his fourth free . throw. Score at half: 22-12. Second Half Uninteresting The second half proved to be uninteresting. Neither team being able to play any basketball. This game became rough and resembled a football ] game. Bebout scored his fifth free throw shortly after the period opened and Jasper sank a field goal. The star center scored another field goa. and t a free throw. Gerber was sent back t into the game and he dropped in a i beautiful field goal from long range. ] Annadell gave the Decatur fans hope j ’ when he sank a field goal from the. i side. Weber and Ramsey had been put i out of the game via the personal foul i route. This ended the scoring, the ■ Tigers playing a fine stalling game during the remainder of the half. The Tigers looked good Saturday night. Jasper and Dornte playing an exceptionally good game. The large floor appeared to bother the \ ellow Jackets considerably. However, they played a nice passing game during the first half and forced the Tigers to shoot from long range most of the time. They worked through the Tiger's defense for many short shots, but failed to make them count. A crowd of two or three hundred Decatur fans attended the game. In the preliminary garni?, the Central second team defeated the Woodburn first team, 30-18.

Next Fall i i Bloomington, Ind., Dec. 13 That ( the Indiana University memorial stadium Will be filled to capacity next fall is the prediction of Heafd ( Football Coach Pat Page of Indiana University. The Crimson mentor declares that has the best schedule ,ot western conference teams and that it is only a question of a few years when the stadium will need enlarging. | “The schedule will give Hoosier grid fans who really love to see outstanding teams in action a chance to see them within their own boundaries,” declares Page. "We want to give Indiana big league football and our schedule next fall plainly shows that Hoosiers will get their share of brilliant game®.” I Three all-American athletes will be seen against Indiana inside Memorial i Stadium. Joesting of Minnesota, Wilcox of Purdue, and Flannagan of Notre Dame were named on mythical all-American selections this last season. Minnesota was considered the best| offensive machine in the country last fall and with only a few men missing the Gopher machine will have championship aspirations when it invades Bloomington, Oct. 15. ! A week later Notre Dame will make its invasion. Over 25,000 saw Indiana and the Irish at South Bend. If the two teams measure up to 1927 expectations crowd will more , than fill the Bloomington athletic i arena. | Michigan State will furnish Indiana's opposition here Nov. 5, with the annual feud with Purdue on Nov. 19 inside Memorial Stadium. This gives Indiana four outstanding home games with a possibility

FIELD GOALS f* ® Bv SSP? MarkM. Upp /jT" M The Yellow Jackets were defeated by Central. Saturday night. b(it it was no disgrace to lose that game. We have no alibis to offer for the Yellow Jackets' defeat. Central was due. after losing three straight games, and the Tigers started hitting. However, a perfectly good ball game was spoiled by the poor officiating. That second half was a nightmare to the players, fans and coaches. After the game. Coaches Mendenhall and Bills, of Central, expressed their regret that the officiating was so poor. So much for that game. The Yel-, Tow Jackets go to Berne Friday night and return home to play hosts to Freemont. Saturday night. The Commodores have a worthy opponent for next Friday night, when St. Rose high of Lima, Ohio, comes to this city for a game. St. Rose defeated C.C.H.S., of Fort Wayne, at Lima last Friday night, 39-9. The Commodores will meet Geneva high school, in a return game here Wednesday night. Jefferson is scheduled to meet Pleasant Mills in the old gym here Friday night. This is expected to be a good game. The Kirkland Kangaroos and the Hartford Gorrillas will meet in combat in the old gym here Friday night, also. There is always a battle when these two teams clasL, Monroe's schedule calls for no more games before the holidays. The next game on the schedule is with Jefferson on January 7. Monmouth travels to Harlan for a game next Friday night. Monmouth has fallen below the 50-50 standing in the percentage column and will’be out to score a victory-. Bluffton's Tigers went . good in their first game at home Saturday night, handing Garrett a 43-22 defeat. Decatur defeated Garrjtt here by a 22 point margin, indicating that Bluffton and Decatur are pretty evenly matched. Ellenberger scored six field goals and Crombie sank five Saturday night. “Bud" Voglewede, former Commodore star, broke into the Notre Dame lineup again Saturday night, in the game with Earlham, but did not score. He substituted at center for Captain Nyikos. Bud is the first substitute center. Two former Kirkland township stars helped Manchester college score an impressive 45 to 23 victory over Huntington college. Saturday night. Pete Byerly, playing forward for Manchester, was high point man I with seven field goals to his credit. I Bill qryan, at guard, scored one field goal and a free throw. Both are veterans on the Manchester team. The Portland Panthers lost to Union City, Friday night, by a 61-7 score, instead of 61-17 as the press reports had it Saturday morning. The first half ended, 36-0, and the Wild Cats ran the score to 46 in the • second half before McGriff sank a ' free throw for Portland's first score iAt one time, Union City led 50-1 • We were going to comment a little s but decWcrf not to. >l - Ringing The Bell -' “Young Bill Bell, son of C.

When many of e the fans gathered with us niter the I game al) they talked about was Bell - Bell—Bell, and Billy Grove, who had answered a continuous stream of telephone calls to the Nows office, gnve I- up in disgust, saying that he had had 9 enough bell ringing for the evening. 91 "A tremendous crowd was attract--6 ed«by the Tiger-Yellow Jacket meet- !> trig.

Rut, mark you. Mark M., there's another day coming and it ain't Christmas we mean."—Rip Offs, in the Bluffton News. Buck Congratulates Us "We have no alibi whatever to offer on the Tiger-Yellow Jacket game last night at Decatur. The Yellow Jackets took that 5-point lead at the start and held it throughout. Wo believe that both Decatur and Bluffton will have mighty good teams before the season is over. Coach Means of 1 Bluffton, and Coach Curtis of Decatur. both have plenty of matertai and can surely be counted on to turn out winners. The playing of the teams ( was not up to the standard we can reasonably expect later on, but at 'that, it was plenty good enough to keep the crowd interested. Accept our congratulations on your victory, Decatur. You can congratulate us later on! "There sure was a crowd at the De-catur-Bluffton game. They even had to lock the windows to keep those unable to get tickets from crawling in. With all of the old rivalry manifested, we believe that the crowd was unusually sportsmanlike. Crowds sure can help a lot in keeping up a I friendly feeling between schools.”— Het of Bounds. Bluffion Banner. The Huntington Press blames the inability to connect with the basket for the defeat of St. Mary's high'of that city by the Decatur Commodores last Friday ntght. Sure, the team that scores the least number of points, always loses. He’s Heard of Yellow Jackets ’ WE'VE HEARD OF THE YEL- 1 LOW JACKETS AND THE VIKINGS AMONG BASKETBALL TEAMS UP NORTH.
