I've left it at home’,, “Don't yoh thing I am wearing a much nicer crown?" she added, smilingly, referring to her feather-trimmed hat.

FIELD -q GOALS ’ t V J By Mark M. Upp Nice going Commodores. Keep it up. As this paragraph is written, the bulletin in the Daily Democrat window says Bay St. Louis, 12; Decatur. 10. end of first half. The Commodores have sixteen minutes more in which to turn the tables. Here’s hoping. The Commodores had little difficulty with the Oklahoma City boys yesterday. The westerners may know all about gushers, but they had to bow to Decatur's knowledge of basketball. Martinsville sure crushed those Loganberries last night, and made mine wine out of them that sure did 'ntoxicate the basketball fans of the state. Logansport never had a chance 'thing the entire game. Connersville is looming up as a real lark horse. The Spartans came to the state tourney without much nooriety, but they proceedd to trounce Kokomo and Frankfort, two teams that were given an on side chance to op the title. Along comes the word that the Commodores did come back and trounce the Mississippi quintet, 3328. Nice going, gang. Now lick that outfit from the Quaker City, tonight. United Press reports say Mongo Meyers and Art Wemhoff saved the ■lay for the Commodores this morning; snagging five field goals between 'hem in the last six minutes to over-:-cme a four point lead and win. But Not In Indiana The Dayton News, of Dayton. Ohio, ir.nounces under a six column streamer that Stivers high school of that •ify has a record on the basketball ourt that is equalled only by that of he famous Passaic, N. J. team. During the last 13 years of competition, Stivers has won 230 games and o-t only 40. During the 13 years, Stivers has W’on the Ohio state championship five times. Buckner announced in his column, “Out of Bounds,” in the Bluffton Banner yesterday, that he was nicking Logansport to win the tourney. If you had waited a little longer, Buck, you could have saved yourself all that humiliation.

The Frankfort five finally copped- a 37-31 decision but not until the Waldron five had put up a thrilling battle.

He would probably have ranked high■*r in the scoring hut was forced to ;o one the defensive most of the time due to his excellent abfity to cover. Krueger and Sibley are the only two to graduate from ths year’s team. Beckner will have only a half -chedule to play next year while Derr. M. Starr. Anderson.
