ed Union, but Roekcreek swamped Lancaster. If you can figure it. out. for gosh sakes tell ns about it.* 1 — Out of Bounds, Bluffton Vanner, A Threat Or Promise? “George Purcell of the Bloomington World, paused long enough the other day to Casually Comment that hs. guessed Coach Curtis’ Decatur Yellow Jackets were good enough to go to the state tourney from this regional. As the Yellow Jackets defeated the Tigers twice with nary a hitch this season, we can't pop right out loud and say they can't do it a(,ain —although that might be what we are thinkin', but if the Tigers can’t, there are some other good basketball teams yet in Wells county that can! Furthermore, we're going down to the ol' cow barn this spring with a Wells county team. Yes, Sir!” —Out of Bounds. Its All Settled "The Vikings brcr:p even nn last week's games, downing Clear Creek by a threepoint margin and Ihen losing to Decatur b.v two points on Sa 1 ttrdaj? evening. The Norse will oven up the score with Deeatur however, when they entertain the Yellow Jackets on February 11, on Huntington high's court.'' —Huntington Pres*. Whistled the Swan Song “Referee rises to fame in whistling concert as Airdales lose 33 to 26,” reads a headline in the Hartford City News. “Whistler” Brown Our friend, “As We See It” in the 1 Hartford City News, uses up consul- ’ erali'e newsprint in telling of the < whistling talent of one. Everett Brown, i of Muncie Norma?, who did the whis I tie toting in the Hartford City-Dun- |i kirk game at Dunkirk, last Saturday t night. It seems that Brown called a l, vbal of 49 fouls during the 40 min ‘ utes of play, in addition to calling a i few held balls and tossing the ball I up at center after scores had been 1 made. He must have keen kind .

i enough to senttei the fools out among the players, us only three were sent to the showers, two of them Airdales. The Airdales are going to buy “Whistler” Brown n fog horn and "As We See It’’ says “When wo desire to attend a concert, we’ll buy concert tickets, hereafter.” Personally, we’ve seen more poor officiating in basketball games already this season than In any other two seasons put together. Referees who used to give a No. 1 satisfaction can’t put It over any more. Maybe, the referees haven't changed their style of officiating to correspond with the changes In rules and style of playt maybe, they have changed their style to correspond with the other changes 1 and the fans haven't kept pace: or maybe, everybody expects the referee to be too nearly perfect. Anyway, the work of the referee is getting to be too big a job for one man, or twoi for that matter. We were talking to Coach Wann, football and baseball mentor of Muncie Normal, between' halves of a basketball game in which he was officiating, recently, and he expressed himself as believing that the day was not far distant when there would be four officials for each game and none of them will be on the floor except to toss up the tall. Podunk In Print Again Podunk, Indiana. Dear Mark: Me and Jake attended the bisket-ball game FViday nite when them there Tommy doors played Fostcria. We broght the old grey mare in and she pretty nigh froze to death. Them there Commy doors sure play ball. Ttyit there fellow they call “Hocky” didn’t play. He was holding down- the bench.# "Mungo” and “Wemmie” played right smart ball and so did that little j freshie called ‘Tele Mylott.” Well 1 hope the Commy doors and Yellow, Jackets wih their games Friday nite,'

: ns I calculate they will. Yours truly, ’ i/uGsr D. W. Horton, superintendent of the Logansport schools, dei tiies the report that Logansport has cancelled the basketball game scheduled to be played with Frankfort, at Logansport, Feb. 19. The Logansport papers were not critical in their comments on the game at Frankfort Saturday night, which Frankfort won, 10-7, after stalling for 20 minutes, and apparently, the wild reports of riotious crowds and severenee of athletic relation*, which were circulated through certain mediums, were not entirely descriptive of the actual conditions.
