school officials have reserved every seat in the gymnasium, Including both balconies, and all but ai»OUt 25 or 30 cf the seats hud been taken Wednesday evening. One hundred tickets were sent to Kendallville and there is a possibility that a few of these will be returned. Interest Is at fever heat as time for the game approaches. Tint fact that Kendallvi.le has not lost a game this season and has piled up big scores on nil opponents, has nrrottsed great enthusiasm here. Local fans are pulling hard for u Decatur victory over the highly touted invaders, although Hilly He] . forward, will be unable to play, since he has not fully recovered from an attack of the mumps. The game will not sturt until 9 o'clock, in order not to interfer with the revival services la progress in six local churches.

Do you have a ticket for the Deca-] i.ur-KendallvlTle game tomorrow night? If you don't, please accept our sympathies. Fans who go to the gym without a ticket and expect to get in very likely will be disappointed. There will be standing room for I 25 or 30 and possibly a few- seats rei turned from Kendallville to supply those who do not have reserved seats. The Kendallville game is attracting as much interest among local fans as the recent battle with the Bluffton Tigers, which is no little amount. Coach Confer will take eight Commodores to Fostoria.

Reputation To Uphold “Decatur's next opponents will be Kendallville, who won over Bluffton last Saturday after the Tigers had Closed the first half in the lead. If the dope is right —based on previous games—Decatur'll have to take the visitors into camp or they’ll not be living up to their reputation.’’—“Rip Offs," Bluffton News. Ango’a plays at Columbia City Friday night and at Kendallville on Saturday n’gh - Geneva has sheduled a game with the Petroleum quintet for next Saturday night. Monroe will go to Pet ’Oleutn for a game on Friday night. Let's have two victories for Adams county over Petroleum. Although the Indiana Univer- , sity quintet is on top of the heap in the race for the basketball championship of Indiana and the Big Ten, not one of the Crimson players is among the 29 leading scorers of Indiana college teams. The Indiana team has scored a lot of points this season, alright, but the scoring has been divided among a large number of players, which, after all, is the most desirable plan. Gardner, of Evansville College, leads the scorers with 110 points.

We’ve been waiting to hear some explanation, alibi, excuse or what not. for the surprising victory of the Os-, sian Bears over the fast Angola team, a. Ossian, last Saturday night, by a score of 51-19- A fan. who signs his ( name “Blue Gill,” writes to Sport Onceover, in Uhe Fort Wayne News[sentinel, as follows: “Dear Onceover —The Angola high school basketball boys slipped a great deal Saturday n’ght being defeated at Ossian by the score of 51-19. Much credit must be given the Ossian bovs for the shooting and floor work they displayed. However, they had no opposi'don as the rangy Angola lads were unable to stand up on the waxed floor. After Grimes had 'skidded into the brick wall injuring his hip. and Cramer had twisted his knee during a halfspin. Coach McClure put in the entire second team. The smaller boys were able to stay up a little better but a great deal of i Ttst aid was necessary after the fra- | cas. The second team had had 40 minutes of skalting prior to the main game—score, 45-IS —in favor of Angd’a. Now, Onceover, do you think it is doing the game any good by responsible persons permitting such things as slippery floors? It isn’t fair to the home boys as well as the visitois.
