FIELD q GOALS f S By Mark M. Vpp Today is Friday and tonight Is basketball night. • J The Commodores will ring down the curtain on their home season to,niglit, when they take the floor against the Anderson Catholics. But tonight’s game will mean more than that. It will be the last time that “Mongo" Meyers. ‘‘Wemmy - ’ Wemhoff and Fred Connell will appear on the local floor as Commodores. Let's do it up brown tonight with a victory. A Deep Mystery "Its a mystery to us how those Wells county columnists keep track of the different trophies circulating in the county. They have a Victory Brick, rolling pin, milk bottle and more too.’’ — ‘‘The Dope Bucket," Portland Sun. By the time the D. D. reaches the street tips evening, or soon thereafter. Coach Curtis and his Decatur high school Yellow Jackets will be on their way to Huntington. We predict a hard battle for the Curtismen tonight, as the Vikings are improving, but somehow, we have a feeling that, the gang will bring home the bacon about midnight, tonight. The Lancaster Bob Cats will invade Decatur tonight to battle the Kirkland Kangaroos. This ought to be a bargain entertainment. Monroe goes to Berne this evening to tangle with the Geneva Cardinals. If Coach Everhart has his full strength back in the lineup tonight. Monroe should give the Cardinals a hard game. Zi The Rerue Fighting Five and the ! Hartford Gorillas will go calling to- , night, the former traveling to Ossian, and the latter to Pennville to meet i Polingtown. Monmouth is booked to play Harlan ' here Saturday night. i - ___— No Reserved Seats In a bulletin sent out by the t 1.H.5.A.A., a few changes in the
