Shelbyville got away to a flying start on the locals and, after 10 minutes of care-free playing, the visitors held an 8-4 lead. Hockey Mylott, Commodore floor guard, kept the home team in the ' running during the entire first half by his frequent successful assaults cn the basket from close and long range. In the second half, both teams were struggling for a commanding lead and the score moved back and forth for several minutes before the Decatur forwards, Petie Mylott and Bill Gass got started. In the last 10 minutes, the game was put on ice in a hurry, ami Coach Laurent could substitute frequently. Several of the local players were suffering from colds and it showed in their playing ability.

Nov. 28.—(UP)—The New York Giants won the National professional football league championship here vjstj.ujy by defeating the Chicago I: rvs. their closest rivals, 13 to fi. The Giants scored twice in succession in the third quarter to overcome a one-touchdown lead of the Bears. Mcßride, Giant fullback, scored both :the Giants’ touchdowns, and aided Ji. materially in repulsing late rallys of | the Chicago team. • At Chicago. Friedman, the former Michigan star, gave a demonstiation of accuracy in forward passing by completing eight of 19 attempted passes for a total gain of 223 yards, I® in leading his Cleveland team to a22 to 7 victory over the Chicago Cardinals. Friedman’s long passes were responsible for four of the five Cleveland touchdowns.

MINI ELEVENS CHIMING TITLE National College Football Title Undecided; Several Good Records Now York, Nov. 28.—(UP)—The football season is over but the real battle has Just begun and it centers about the question: “Who bad the best football team In the land?” There are any number of Yale alumni who would bet their last dollar that old Eli. with Bruce Caldwell In the harness, could beat any team. From Dixie there comes Georgia's Naim to football supremacy and it's net to lie waved aside. “Didn’t Georgia beat Yale, 14-10, in the bowl,” the voice from the south says. “And didn't Georgia also l»eat Alabama. Florida, Tulane, V irginia and others?” That is true but Georgia must beat Georgia Tech Saturday Beating the Yellow Jackets always is difficult. From Pennsylvania comes a great roar “What about Pittsburgh, the team that Iteat Penn State, Nebraska, West Virginia. Drake, Carnegie Tech and others by decisive margins?” But Pittsburgh was tied by Washington and Jefferson, which was tied by West Virginia, which lost four games and tied two. Yet Pittsburgh had a great team and may enhance its claim to greatness by beating Stanford in the tournament of roses game at Pasadena on January 2. There is a murmur from the midwest that Illinois and Minnesota are entitled to consideration. Illinois beat Northwestern, Michigan. lowa, Chicago and Ohio State on successive Saturdays, which was a real accomplishment, but going back ahead of that the illini struck a snag in lowa State (Ames) with a 12-12 t’c. * Out Minneapolis way they’ll tell you that Minnesota, with Joesting and Almqulst, could crush any football combination assembled in any sector. Yet Indiana held the Gophers to a 14-14 tie and Notre Dame did the same thing, 7-7. The South Bend shout is weak this year. Notre Dame defeated the Navy, Indiana, Georgia Tech, Drake, and Southern California but had its championship aspirations shocked by Minnesota and chattered by the Army. The far west can offer no claim for national honors, with every major team on the coast beaten at least once. Southern California was the last to go down. Every team in tlte Missouri Valley was beat. n. Missouri, the valley champion, lost a conference game to the weak Kansas team, and an intersectional game to the strong Southern Methodist University eleven. The Texas Aggies, champions of the southwest, were unbeaten and conquered Southern Methodist ami Texas, which beat Vanderbilt and tlie Kansas Aggies. However, they were tied by Texas Christian. From the Louisiana swamps comes a hullabaloo about Centenary College of Shreveport, unbeaten or tied in , ten games. This team beat Southern Methodist and several other teams of prominence in that section. — ~ Big Ten Coaches To 11 Meet Next Week-End Chicago, Nov. 28. — (INS) — The peace conference that inevitably follows war will be staged here Friday and Saturday by athletic directors and coaches of the Big Ten conference universities. They will summarize results of the sanguine football campaign just closed and draw up a chart for the 1928 schedule. In addition they will map out competitive programs in other lines of athletic endeavor, such as track, swimming, wrestling and basebail. It is reported that there will be ■trong sentiment among the football coaches for changes in the present code. The suggestions if adopted, will be forwarded to the national rules committee. The conference coaches are said especially to dislike the lateral pass, and will seek to have the rules governing it rescinded. o Irish And Trojans To Meet In 1928 And 1929 Chicago. Noy. 28 — (INS) —Notre Dame and Southern California will | meet at Los Angeles in the fall of 1928, acccrding to coach Knute Rockne whose Irish Gridders scored a 7 to 6 triumph over the Trojans at Soldiers’ Field here Saturday. No date was agreed upon, but it will follow the close of the season, probably , early in December Rnckno said the game was arranged with Coach Howaid Jones of the Trojans before the Californians left for the coast. 0 Laporte. — Edward Roehm went around for weeks with a button missing from his clothes and Helen, his wife, wouldn't sew it on. He tells all about it in a complaint for divorce, which he has filed in the Gary superior court.

FIELD GOALSj Ey MARK M. UPP IIL — =4! “We wouldn't be afraid to wager I a month’s growth of a natty moust-1 ache (provided we could raise one) with Mark M Upp that the Tigers | will tear up (he Yellow Jackets in their first game this year. This would be a safe bet, of course, and Mark M. realizes it.” —Rip Offs, Bluffton News. Before accepting this wager, , we’d like to file a motion to I make the complaint more specific in regard to the phrase, “will tear up.” Tigers often tear up their opponents’ flesh and cloth- | ing but are overpowered and captured before the end of the struggle. Before taking a chance (no matter how small) of having I to go through life for one month with three eye brows, we maintain, your honor, that we have a right to know just what the said Mr. Rin Offs has in mind. We were informed by a usually reliable informant last night that Dale Ellenberger, erstwhile Berne and Duffton high school basketball star, 1 ut lately of New Haven, would enroll in Bluffton high school again today. We were told that Dale and his mother have moved back to Bluffton and if this is the case. Dale will be slligible to don a Tiger uniform and 'end his influence, inspiration and ability to the cause of reviving the l iwntrodden Tigers. The Commodores, with three or four bad colds in the lineup, managed to trounce the Shelbyville invaders Saturday night. Coach Laurent will testify that bad colds make poor basketball players. At that, the Commies didn't look so bad during the last few minutes. Saturday night's engagement was the last cn the Commodores’ schedule until December 16. Father Hesston is anxious to schedule one or two more games to be played betw’een now and the 16th, so that the Commodores will not forget too much. The YeTow Jackets will start preparation this evening for the game with Garrett here Friday night. Several rough spots showed up in the play of the Yellow Jackets at Auburn last week, and Coach Curtis will try to iron them out this week. A game that will attract much interest throughout Adams county this week, is the KirklandBerne game, to be played in the Kirklano gym, Friday nigttf. The Kangaroos are rarin’ to go and have a big desire to trip the Fighting Five which by the way, has met defeat in its last two games. Monroe will play Jefferson at Berne, Hartford will play Polingtown at Pennville, and Monmouth will play Woodburn at Hoagland, Friday night. AMERICAN BASKET LEAGUE STANDING Western Division W L Pct.

Plenty of I them are advertised that way. And plenty of them have disappointed smokers who tried them out. Not strange that many men shy at five- ' cent sellers.

A fragrant, mild and mellow cigar which has appealed to particular smoking men for thirty years. The name is Havana Ribbon. Havana Ribbon couldn’t please you more if it cost twice as much.

Integrit v. loya.ty, earnestness, ambition, alertness, knowledge these are forces which, coupled with money and the tools it buys, produce service. The importance cf ; dequate financial capital is obvious. In order to serve 30 million people scattered over more than 600,000 square miles of territory, a targe money investment is necessary. But the human forces which put financial capital to work are even more important. Business is not a matter of machinery—it is a matter of men. Machinery is controlled by tne minds of men. Business is directed by the nnnib of men. Unless it is ably and wisely and honestly directed—unless it has a backing of capital, it will not attract the capital. 50,000 people have bought the stock of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) because they know that their money will be efficiently employed in sening the public and because they know it will be made earn reasonable profits for them.
