It is with no little amount of pride and with a realization that years are rapidly fleeting by that we begin this sixth year of basketball columning under the head “Field Goals,” in the Daily Democrat. A few more years, anil we 11 be eligible for a pension. Adams county high school teams never had better prospects than they have this fall. Already, the annual inter-county series between Adams and wells county teams stands 3 to 1 in favor of Adams. Kirkland has defeated Rock Creek and Chester Center and Hartford has walloped Rock Creek. Hartford lost a boxing bout to the Petroleum quintet, accounting for the one loss charged against Adams county. SPEAKING OF THE INTER-COUNTY SERIES. RIP OFFS. IN THE BLUFFTON NEWS, SAYS: “WAIT UNTIL THE TIGERS TURN UPON THOSE YELLOW JACKETS.” TO SEE RIGHT NOW THAT THE esteemed mr. rip offs has lost none of his fondness for jesting. ■ • Bluffton columnists loathe the word alibi, but they used a lot of space in their columns Monday, "explaining” why Rock Creek lost to Kirkland. Lots cf Pep Berne fans are all pepped up over the Fighting Five this fall. They believe this year’s edition is going to be as good as or better than the famous quintet of two years ago. Anyhow, Berne has won three straight games. The Catholic high Commodores had an auspicious start last Friday night when they downed the Geneva Cardinals, 46-23. Tomorrow night, the Commodores and the Hartford Gorillas meet in this city. Last year, the Commodores and Gorillas played a game that went three overtime periods before the Commodores won. The game may not last quite as long, but another real scrap is in prospect for tomorrow night. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS COLUMN WILL BE APPRECIATED. Coach “Bill” Windmiller of the Hartford Gorillas, has asked us to thank the Berne management and fans for the splendid treatment accorded him find his Gorillas last Friday night, when the two teams clashed at Berne. Rivalry between the two teams is keen, but a splendid spirit was shown. Bill also appreciated the fine support given the Gorillas by Hartford township fans. , The Yellow Jackets will get under way Friday night, when the Kirkland Kangaroos come to town to show their wares. A packed house is expected to see the battle. The above paragraph reminds us that season tickets for the Yellow Jackets’ games will go on safe at 7:15 o’clock tonight at the high school building. A record number of reserved seats likely will be sold this year. The Monmouth team will open its season Friday night in a game with Jefferson in the Kirkland gym. The game will start at 7:30 o’clock and will be over in time for the fans and players to see the Decatur-Kirkland scrap. IF THIS GETS BY, WE LL TRY SOME MORE.
