We heard from four contributors this morning, so our work iu getting out the column is somewhat lightened.

The boys from the Limberlost, and maybe a girl from the Limberlost are coming to town tomorrow night — Geneva high vs. Decatur Catholic high Commodores. Geneva put up a nice scrap against the Commodores in a game at Berne recently, and may be counted on to do likewise tomorrow evening. Those Days Are Gone. “Who rehiembers when Burlington.

ways travels in much better form and has better luck hitting the basket when it is playing a team much weaker than It is than when it is playing one of its superiors? There were many Panthers bagged last week-end. Several strayed from their lulr at Portland and were taken into camp at Union City, and several others were overpowered In their own den at Bloomington by a party from Washington with their Hatchets. Several fans have already reserved ' their seats for the Yellow Jackets' game ut Berne Friday night. Principal Walter Krick received 100 tiek- ‘ ets from Berne, and fans may place their onlers for seats by calling Mr. k , Krick ut the high school building. Local fans can secure 75 more seats if wanted, it is said. u Misplaced Blame. The crowd of fans attending basketI ball games many times conduct themselves in an unsportsmanlike manner and are deserving of much criticism, but we wish to take issue with the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel, which which places all blame for the sorry exhibition in the second half of the | Decatur-Fort Wayne Central game at Fort Wayne, Saturday night, on the fans and coaches, and goes ahead to say that Ogie refereed a nice game. Both Decatur and Fort Wayne fans are to be complimented on the fine manner in which they behaved in face of the sorry exhibition of officiating. I Half of the time when the referee I called a personal foul he failed to' designate plainly who had committed , the foul and when he did give the scorers the player's number it was wrong most of the time. In one instance. he called a foul on a Decatur player. The score keepers called him to the sideline and asked for the player's number. Ogle told them it was No. 9. Carl Gerber. Decatur center, had No. 9, and he was sititng on the bench at the time, having been relieved, by a substitute. The referee • was told he made a mistake, but he insisted that it was No. 9 and the fold was charged to Gerber. This is only one of many instances of inefficiency. Is it any wonder that the two coachds protested to such decisions as this and is it any wonder that a few, and it was a very few. fans in the crowd became unduly noisy in

7 voicing their disapproval? Neither team cun win cm its merits when playing under such officiating as that dished out Saturday night. The fans, coaches or players should not bo I blamed for the affair, unless the i coach who employed the official is 1 censured for that action. And* the I Central couches apologized for the ' officiating after the game was over. Likes Trophy Idea Decatur, Indiana.

(with apologies to Hunky ' Dorg). ’ Three nice victories and one defeat over the weekend for the Decatur high 1 school basket rs isn't anything to be sneezed at.

It has been my good fortune to have learned by basketball by following the sot tunes of several high school teams in the southern part of the state, which section is. 1 feel I may say with little fear of contradition. the very cradle of Hoosier basketball, and thus you can rest assured that the signing up of Coach Herb Curtis, a man who is Well versed in and entirely capable of teaching the typi al southern game, has afforded me a great deal of pleasure. . “1 know personal'y quite a few of the more prominent coaches in the state and knew Mr. Curtis by reputation before he caane here and 1 know that he is one of the best coaches in the state.
