I 11 ELD *ll| ' GOALS • ' j Ry , MarkM.l'pp Our job is going to be easy today thanks to Out of Bounds and Rip Offs, of the Bluffton Banner and News, respectively. The two scribes In our neighboring city took the defeat of the Tigers by our Yellow •Jackets like the fine sports that they are and they offered no alibis for said defeat. WeT, now turn our column over to Buck and Mr. Swaim and kt you get their opinion of the game. Congrats, Decatur! "Mark M. Upp and Coach Curtis of Decatur, were feelin’ mighty good last night and right they should. The Yellow Jackets won over the Tigers in a decisive manner. Accept our compliments. We have no ‘ifs or ands’ to offer on the game, but this same ‘racket’ twice in one month is sure plenty. "Coach Means can’t be expected to go out and make baskets for his team, that's sure. His boys have he plays and the ability, but seem to lack the ability to score. We heard they were going to put some brand new goals up in the city building and we believe it would be a good idea to start a contest and see which one of the Tiger players succeeds in | locating them first. The goals in the Cherry street gym have been up about four years and the Tigers have found them on various occasions, but never to our recollection in a game against. Decatur. We’ll sure oppose any move to take those Cherry street gym baskets over to the city building. Yes. Sir!’’—Out of Bounds, Bluffton Banner. A Bitter Morsel! "For the Tigers to be defeated by any team is bad enough. For them to be camped on at Decatur earlier in t.he season wasn't by any means desirnlde to Yell Leaders Reynolds and Waugh and their cohorts of rooters. But to have those Yellow Jackets come right over to our very ! own floor and rustle up a well-earned . victory like they did last night puts 1 •; ill in A<lmitledly, there never were sadder .lays. We never thought . Decatur ' could do it on our own floor. We had all sorted out a whole pack of hot ones to hand out to our neighbor. Mark M. Upp, today, but. as it happens, the rejoicing is all his and his readers. This is crepe talk, Mark M., but it was a painful blow. “Decatur beat Bluffton five points on the Decatur floor and won bv eight points on the Tiger floor. Alibis are hardly in order at the present writing. | "Decatur won the game fairlythey won it because they put up a be . ter game than the Tigers, particularly in basket-making. While both teams put up good defense work and staged fast, hard fought floor work, it was the many futile attempts at (he basket which put the Tigers on th e kibosh when Points needed. Right at the start of the second half the Yellow Jackets opened up with a scoring attack that literal']V swept the Tigers from their feet 1 * ton News. — , , v nfllS. alumni.
