G. E. DEFEATS COMMODORES Two Decatur Teams Stage Interesting Game, Electricians Win, 32-26 Finis was written last night on the 1926-27 basketball season in Decatur, when the Decatur Catholic high school Commodores and the team from the local plant of the General Electric company staged a fast and interesting battle in’ the Decatur high school gymnasium as a benefit for the Civic Department of the Woman's Club. , The 0. E. quintet won the game, the final score being 32-26. A large crowd turned out for the benefit program last night, the gymnasium being pretty well filled. Preceding the basketball game, about eighty girls from the public schools of the city gave a demonstration of their physical training work under the direction of their physical training work under the direction of the instructor. Miss Helen Stephenson. The demonstration was very interesting and the girls were heartily applauded by the large crowd. The basketball game was stubbornly fought all the way. The lead changed hands several times in the first half. With the Commodores leading 9-7, the Electricians took time out and then came back to tie the score and take the lead. At the end of the half, the Commodores were trailing, 15-12. As the second half opened, a field goal brought the Commodores’ score to 14. but the Electricians scored on a free throw and then added two points on a field basket. The winners led throughout the second half, although the high school boys were continually threatening to overcome their advantage. The game was pretty rough, especially the second half. Referee Curtis called frequent fouls, but the players persisted in fighting hard and rough. ‘•Mongo" Meyers, the Commodores’ all-American Catholic school forward, had tough luck on most of his shots at the basket last night but started hitting late in the game and it looked for a while as though his sniping would pull the game from the fire fir Coacht Center's team. "Hocky" Mylott played a good game for the losers, both on defense and offense. He scored three field goals and a foul. Meyers hit the basket four times from the field and once from the charity, line. For the G. E. team. Wilson, a new man in the lineup, was high point man. scoring five field goals and a free throw. Kleinknight was next in line with three baskets and a free throw. Coach Center shifted his lineup twice, sending in Sorg and Miller. Lineups and summary: G. E. (32) Commodores (26) Teeple F ... - . ... ..Meyers v. ilson .. .... . F .. F. Mylott Kleinknight.. ...
