J FIELD i GOALS i'X Mark M. (,'ppj^h-'—^ The Berne basketball team lived up 1 to its name. “Fighting Five,” in the game with the Yellow Jackets last night. Getting away to an early ■ lead, the Berne boys fought hard to hold on to their advantage Coach Braun’s earn is showing improvement. The Yellow Jackets were surprised last night. Too often, a good ball team underestimates their opponent and is caught off its guard. Hail to the boys from the Limberlost. The Geneva team pulled a surprise package out of the dope bucket for the Monmouth (fuintet last night and I when the Monmouth boys had unwrapped their package, it read, Geneva, 25; Monmouth, 9. Evidently, Monmouth was a little too sure of another victory over Geneva last night, after having won their previous engagement, by a ten-point margin. After reading the score of the Monroe-Pleasant Mills game, fans might say, “Oh, well, one of those teams had to win last Right,” since each one had lost every game so far with the exception of one, hut that . game last night was not so bad. Both teams played a fighting game and the result was in (lpubt until the closing minutes. The Hartford Gorillas listened to (lie Jefferson township boys crowing about their so many straight and then lulil them to can that stuff, last night. As a result, Hartford won the game, 42-19, and Jeffs winning areal: of five games is shattered. Coach Herb Curtis must have had a great workout in tossing up the ball at center in the tournament at Angola, last night. The Angola second team defeat--1 ed the Metz second team, 100-1 and the Angola varsity won from the team, 103 to 2. ■ "T-hp-vTirut ..—v.v VGrniirrLVcni iiVef 'to Logansport. last night with a ravenous appetite, for Loganberries, hut their appetite was soon satisfied. Logansport won the basketball game . C 2-28. , The Greenrastle yufintet decided to hold on to the Victory Brick for another week, at least, and repulsed the Rushville rush, 40-19. Earlier this week, George Purcell. in the Bloomington World, said the Delphi team was coming to Bloomington Friday night, unheralded and with their strength unknown. Evidently, Bloomington knows quite a bit about the Delphi crew by now. Evidence: Delphi, 36; Bloomington, 33. As wo turn out' this copy, the county second team tournament is in progress at Berne. The Yellow Jacket reserves have already licked the Jefferson seconds, 51-6; Hartford disposed of Geneva, 14-11; and Kjrk- | land eliminated Monroe, 22-6. May .the l)esi. team win. r FAMOUS LAST LINES: “HE • SHOT AND MISSED.” Recruiting Os Athlete" By Collpees Denounced’ By Big Ten Officials Chicago, Jan. 29— (United Press)— Unofficial granting of financial aid ( to student, because of their athletic ' ability was denounced at a meeting 'of presidents, faculty members, directors of athletics, football coaches, and alumni of western conference schools, meeting here In an effort to 1 harmonize athletic relations. j Those at the meeting ruled that 5 granting aid in any particular case, 7 either by scholarships, loans, or re--3 m'ss'on of tui'.'on, is unethical. 0 The recommendations made at the 2 of the meeting cover practicall ly all lines of recruiting athletes and
