The Dhily Democrat will receive the returns frewn the trli-state tourney, so call 1000 for the scores. But please wait a few minutes, at least, after time for the game to be over, before asking us for the score. It takes a little thne to get the returns here, even by telegraph or telephone. The Yellow Jackets and Commodores already have given Decatur considerable publicity this season. On Monday, a threecolumn picture ’of the Yellow Jackets appeared in the Fort

Wayne Journal-Gazette. TodayQ a three-column picture of the Commodores appeared in the same paper, and Individual pictures of Art Wemhoff and Mongo Meyers, two Commodore stars, appeared on the sport page of the Indianapolis Star. The fine record of each team accompanied the pictures, also, ‘•Hoosier Fives Threaten CtncyJ Tourney Teams," roads a headline in ; the Cincinnati Post today. The story under the head says, in part: "If reportfl on the strength of Indiana teams which will participate in- ; the University of Cincinnati's) Tri- 1 state scholastic basketball tourney, ' starting Friday at 9 a. tn., are true. ] the Greater Cincinnati boat of/ en- I tries will bo sunk before the third round is reacted.

Covington High may 1 attain the first and perhaps second ] round. Covington meets Brownstown 1 in the preliminary round Friday at 10 a. tn." Another day gone by, and not a t peep from Cash Keller, erstwhile 1 columnist of . the Huntington f Press. Cash’s column, ‘‘Crowds j on the Sidelines," has been con- f spicious by its absence on the I

I Press' sport page for two weeks now. We didn't think Cash would take It so hard when the Yellow Jackets made a clean sweep of the two-game series I with the Vikings. Worst of all. Cash hasn’t made his “Big Ten" selections, and columnists over the state have had to fill up their columns with “less important” stuff. - Coach .1. M. McClure, of Angola, has proposed a high school athletic league for this sectinn 'of the state, to be composed of learns from Angola. the throe Fort Wayne schools, Decatur, Bluffton. Huntftigton, Auburn, Kendallville, Garretts and Columbia City. Such a league would have its advantages, chief among which would be the added interest.. The teams mentioned in the proposed league now play each other, to a large extent; Decatur has pt least one game scheduled with every one of the teams mentioned, for next year. A meeting probably will be held soon, to which the coaches or ether representatives of the schools j will be invited. Coach Curtis, of Decatur, said today that he ha<? not had sufficient time to consider the proposal and wss not ready to give his oplnjon. Yellow Jacket Booster Dear Mark M. Upp: Tell me where there is a better pair of guards than Kiick and Anadell? Hasn’t their defensive ability been proven in every game this year?- Weren’t the four field goals by Anadell and three by Krick, plus nine free throws, at Oar- 1

*iett, enough proof as to their often-. ( |ve ability? Billy Bell is rapidly; proving to be a safari uifll clever forward. Billy’s five field goals and two! free throws, (all coming when needed) meant) much toward Decatur’s Victory at Huntington. Did you j 1 notice that Coach Curtis used Bell and Hill as forwards at Huntington.; while Saturday night, Bebout and Reynolds appeared at those posts? I wonder why Didn’t he prove that lie had four good forwards, all de-1 livering in fine fashion? ( arl Gerber’s work at center surely has been worthy of note. Would you guess Carl to be a freshmen, Judging by J his work ayainst stub experiencedcenters as Jasper, CrosbiA, Nartker, I ■ Cramer, Hummer.and Funk? Red Lankenau proved that he was an important cog in Coach Curtis’ machine . in the Huntington and Garrett games. , With Red in, our defense still proved effective.
