Upp The Kirkland Kangaroos will play their alumni in a game here Saturday night, according to an announcement made today, 'fhe Kangaroos will play Lancaster here Friday night. Pleasant Mills and Jefferson have finished their schedules and. unless another game is scheduled, will be idle until the sectional tourney here March 4 and 5. The winner of the sectional here will meet the winner of the Fort Wayne sectional in the first game of the Fort Wayne regional, March 12. This game will be played at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 12. At 3 p.m., the winner of the Bluffton sectional will play the . winner of the Columbia City sectional, and on Saturday night, the winners of the two afternoon games will meet in a game that will decide which of the four teams will go to Indianapolis for the final tourney. The winner of the Fort Wayne regional will meet the winger of the Vinrynnes regional in the second game of the state tourney", to be play March 18. This game will be plenty tough, too. / . —. . - We believe that the winner of the Adams county sectional has a good chance of winning lhe Fort Wayne regional. Decatur has defeated Bluffton twice, and CoTnmbia City once, and, although Fort Wayne Central won from Decatur in a game in which neither team played basketball comparative scores show the YellowJackets to be as good as Central. And if another Adams county team should beat Decatur in the sectional, that, team, should have a better chance, naturally, than Decatur. Coach Center is working the

Catholic high Commodores hard tliis week in preparation for the game with Anderson Catholic here Friday night. It will be the farewell appearance for several Commodores on the home flotjr and they, are anxious to make that last show a goed one. The I.H.S.A.A. board of control ruled yesterday that there was insufficient evidence to show that Lester Reynolds, Martinsville high school star, attacked Columbus player after a game nt Martinsville, recently. and the hoard exonerated Reynold-. A great celebration was staged at Martinsville, wo are informed, following announcement of the decision. With Reynolds playing, \Coach Glenu Curtis has an excellent chance Ip cop the state title with the Martinsville team. Did you notice in the schedule for the state tourney that the Martinsville and Ixigansport regional winners. which undoubtedly will be Martinsville and Logansport, will meet in the first, round of the state finals? One of the strongest contenders. for ihe championship will he eliminated in the first round. The epidemic of the mumps is get-1 ting serious in Decatur high school i and much anxiety is being felt lest members of the basketball squad "catch'' the disease. Watch Monroe! , Dear Mark M.

ago. The high school coaches are sure going to have some gisid material from my dtandpoint of view. I hmk Io see a state championship resting In Adams county In years to come. 1 rate Decatur along with the best. teams of non'hern suction of the stale. South Bend, Emerson and Fi-oebel, of Gary, | Elkhart, included. 1 think De catur could beat any of the | schools right now. Monroe high school, now at the bottom of t|je lad-1 der, never stfighting. They are. the plnnkiest bunch of boys I ever i saw. The Monroe teaffn consists of boys-between 13 and 17 years of age. I Most of them have two years. In' the year ’2B and '29, you will probably see Monroe as one of the dark i horses of the county and state. The. Pleasant Mill# team nntst not bo forgo'ten, for they are a bunch of fight-1 ing lads, which showed 'it ip the second team tourney. Hoping to see this in my best paper, 1 am, Yours truly, "Sloppy Shots.” •P.S.:—I warn you, Mark. Watch Monroe in 1928 and 1929. FAMOUS LAST LINES:- "WE WON. BY GOLLY.
