G.E. QUINTET BEATS OSSIAN Rally In Last Ten Minutes (Jives Decatur Team A 41-22 Victory The Decatur General Electric basketball team won from the fast Ossian Merchant aggregation, at the high school gymnasium, last night 41-22. after fighting almost all the way on even terms. A tally late in the second half put the game on ice for the local Betters. In a preliminary game, the Decatur Merchants, composed of former high school athletes won from the Genet al Electi ie second team by a top heavy score. Strickler, Zwick and John Dierkes were the stars for the winning team. In the big show, the Ossian team drew the first blood when Horror tossed a point through the net from the fiee throw line. During the entire first half, the score stayed about even, with the local netters holding a slight edge on the visitors. The score at the half was 15-13, In favor of the Electricians. During the first ten minutes of the second stanza, the score was knotted once, and the locals were unable to pull away front the visitors.

Two Ossian players were ejected from the game in the lust few minutes, but not until the local netters had the game in the cooler..

Only Two Left In Billiard Tournament Chicago. Feb. 10. — (United Press) — Otto Reiselt and Augie Kieckeherfer today remained alone in the undefeated national three cushion Dillard championship which is nearing a close. Both have won five matches and their play has been consistently good throughout the tournament. Gus Copulos of Detroit, a veteran thre - cushion player, despite one detour was considered an outside possibility as winner until he met Tiff Denton of Kansas City last night. Deuton displayed a cue wizardy he has not shown so far in the tournament artd eliminated Copulos 60-31 in 40 innings. Knute Rocknr Plans To Spring Something New In Football Next Fall South Bend, Ind. Feb. 10. — (United Press)— Possibility of some mode of play to be used by the Notre Dame football team in 1927 was predicted I by Knute i'iockne, veteran coach, when lie said he was working on "something ! entirely new to football.”

Babe Ruth, Dissatisfied With New Contract, May Quit Baseball Altogether Hollywood, Cal., Feb. 10— (United Press) Baseball may have to get along without its “sultan of swat.” in (he future, babe Ruth declared today The famous h nne-run king said he would return unsigned the contract he has received from the New York Yun keen and that ho might "quit basebull althogethet" , £ the dull < :•• f more liberial terms. >The contract sent him called for $52,000 this year, the same amount he tecelved last season, Ruth said. "I don’t care to mention how much I expect to get far my services, but if the Yankee management refuses t:> meet my teints 1 may get out of baseball altogether", Ruth declared. c FIELD ZHK GOALS CS By Zip Mark M. Upp Rip Offs, in the Bluffton News, informs his dear readers that the Ossian Bears are preparing for the TriState tournament at Indianapolis, next week-end. Since when did they move the Cincinnati Tri-Siale tourney to the Hoosier metropolis? Doping The Regional "While we believe the winners of the Bluffton sectional drew the favorite side of the regional schedule, we do not believe that the winner of the Columbia City sectional will be real easy pickin’. Columbia City is generally conceded to be the team to win the Columbia City sectional and the Wells county winners should be able to defeat them at Fort Wayne, but in spite of the fact that Huntington dropped Columbia City last week, it must be remembered that ColumX bia City played Angola an overtime game recently at Angola. That game shows Columbia City to be above the average, a team that is that to start with may do anything in a tourney. It’s almost an assured fact that the Decatur Yellow Jackets, if they win their' own sectional, will give that Fort Wayne Central gang a real battle. If they do, and lose, it will surely help the Wells county sectional winners to take Central in the final game. Get Central, you Adams county tossers! If you don’t Wells county will!"—Out of Bounds, Bluffton News WE GET MORE "FIELD GOALS” FROM "OUT OF BOUNDS" THAN ANY PLAYER IN THE STATE. The Commodores are all set to give the home fa. s a real treat tomorrow n’ght win i they make their final appearance o the home floor this season, with the St. Marys high team, of Anderson, furnishing the opposition. The school officials are preparing to handle a big crowd at the game, since this will be the final appearance, on the home floor in a Commodore uniform, for several members of the local squad. The Yellow Jackets will depart early Friday evening for Huntington, where they at e scheduled to have a little party With the Huntington Vikings, tomorrow night. The second team will accompany the varsity and play the Huntington reserves in a preliminary game. A story in' the Huntington Press says the home fans are predicting a ten-point victory for the Vikings Friday night. Let ’em predict. Huntington will play Jefferson of Lafayette, Saturday night. "Whistler” Brown Recently, a referee by the name of Brown, from Muncie, refereed a game between the Hartford City and Dunkirk high school teams at Dunkirk, and proceeded to call a total of 4q fWuls during the melee. The Hartford City paper#; proceeded to w’rite him up the next, day in no complii mentaiy terms, dubbing him "Whisti ler" Brown. The said whistler filed !a protest with the I.H.S.A.A. board l of control and we’ll let "As We See ■ ■ ■ ' -■

It." in the Hartford City News, discuss (he decision for you: "Practice your whistle blowing tit home" was virtually the edict of the Indiana State High School Athletic association In answer to protests filed by "Whistler” Everett Brown, of the Nuncie Normal, against the Hartford city high school, nt a hearing Saturday relating Io the Dunkirk-Hartford City basketball game, Which only goes to show that the State Athletic Boatd Is entirely human in attitude. Brown protested that Hartford City was unsportsman-like in their attitude toward him as referee. In forty minutes of battle, "Whistler" Brown called a total of 49 fouls on the two teams. The State High School Board does not countenance unsportsmanlike playing, neither does it countenance poor refereeing and butchering of the groat Indiana sport. For this reason, Brown can well consider himself reprimanded. Forty-nine fouls in any one game is sufficient to raise the ire of any good fan. If Brown desires to enter concert work, it might be possible for him to enter a conservatory of mitffc and practice, rather than make up an excuse at refereeing to get in his hour’s daily pastime.” This Reynolds-Gelfius affair down at Martinsville and Columbus is get’ing a lot of unsavory publicity. The I.H.S.A.A. board of control exonerated Reynolds, of the Martinsville team, on charges of striking and injuring Gelfius, of Columbus, following a game between the two teams at Martinsville, recently. The decision seems to. nave met with wide-
