After that big feed last night, the Commodores ought to go beg in their •game with Huntington Catholic high here tomorrow night. They had a lot of fowls last night and they made ’em all. We overlooked the game scheduled between Monmouth and I Ossian, to be played in the old I gym here Saturday night. Monmouth made a good showing against the Ossian team in a game at Ossian recently, and the Root township boys will be out to down the highly touted boys from Wells county this week-end. Coach Curtis is sending the D. H. S. Yellow Jackets through strenuous workouts this week. Each evening, the varsity squad is divided into two teams and a hard scrimmage is held. Last night, a team composed of Krick, Anadell, Gerber, Bell and Hill, scrimmaged against a team composed of Bebout, Reynolds, Somers, Cole and Lankenau, and a battle royal was waged for several minutes, with the former outfit coming out on top. The Commodores will put out to sea again tomorrow night. They have successfully survived eighteen storms this season and | are prepared to weather some more rough waters tomorrow ' night. Will their victory bound nraft be sunk? Come out and see. * • : ..'"
