FIELD /-x GOALS C S ■* ]R Mark M. I’pp As this paragraph is written, the innual Trl-state tourney -is in protress at Cincinnati. Before the Daily Democrat goes to press the Decatur ( Yellow Jackets will have played their, game with Cloverdale and we fully Xpert the news story to announce that Decatur won. /■ According to a story In lhe Cincinnati Post this morning, this Tristate tourney, which is the eleventh ' me sponsored by the University of Cincinnati, will be the last one staged, by that school. The reasons for dis-1 .-ontinuing the tournaments were not sjiven. The story in the Post said that Decatur, Plainville, Center Grove, Waldron and Logansport, Indiana were favored “to remain in the thick of the championship fight until the late rounds.” The Commodores have been going ;ood in practice this week and indi■ations are that, they will be in good ondition for their battle with St. ’ose high, at Lima. Ohio, next Tues-, lay night. Coach Cpnter will take en players to Lima. A hundred or note fans will accompany the team. Games tonight include: Kirkland vs. Monmouth in old gym; Monroe vs. Geneva in old gym; Chester Center at Berne; Hartford, at Petroleum. These two games to be played in the old gym here tonight may be the last high school games played in the old gym in its present location, as no more games are scheduled for this season. However, one or two more independent games are scheduled to be played there before it is moved to Kirkland township. Tlte men, and women too, of Kirk- 1 and township, are to be congratulat--3d on their action in buying the ‘old gym" and taking steps to place t on the Kirkland high school •rounds where it will '>-rve -tea gymnasium and community center .’or the township. Kirkland high M-hool has had a creditable basket- ( ■jah! team each year for the last sev-. jtal years, in spite of the fact, that he only practice the boys received vas when they drove to Decatur one tight a week. Several high class j dayers have been turned out by the {irkland high school. The sportsnanship displayed by the Kirkland layers and fans has always been rood and we are glad to know’ that hey are go’ng to have a playhouse if their ow r n, where they can dere’.ope better teams in the future. We imagine that building will be the icene of many community meetings ind gatherings other than basketball games, too. Goshen plays Angola tonight. Eck, who writes "Sportfolio” in the Goshen Democrat, prints the record of the Angola team for this season, showing that Angola has won eleven games and lost only one, that one to Decatur. It may not be Angola's fault, but that defeat suffered by Angola at Ossian is omitted from the record. Bluffton plays Hartford City at 3'.uffton, tonight, and Union Center, ilso at Bluffton, Saturday night. | The Frankfort Fighting Five has booked a game with the Danville, Kentucky, high School Admirals, wingers of the Kentucky state chamm'onship last year, to be played at Frankfort, Saturday night. This thould give a little dope on the comparative strength of Indiana and Kentucky teams. FAMOUS LAST LINES; "I’D HAVE MADE A BASKET IF YOU HAD MADE A GOOD PASS TO ME."
