Most of the plavers showed the effects of the week-end lav-off hut are expected to return to form today or tomorrow. The coach is expecting a stiff battle from Garrett. The upstate tossers Is said to he stronger than they were last year when the Yellow Jackets scored two vlctoiiea over them. Garrett will bring a second team along to clash with the Decatur second team in the preliminary game. Chambers, of Fort Wayne, will officiate in the main game. In all probability tin Central Eighth grade team wil play Its opening game Friday night, also, A game with the Herne eighth graders is probable. The eighth grade game will be started about 6:30 o'clock and be out of the way for the high school games. The Yellow Jacket second and third teams will play the Geneva high school first and second teams in the Decatur high school gym on Saturday night. Coach Curtis is expecting to use his first team substitutes against the Geneva varsity and an interesting contest is expected.

The Geneva Cardinals have scheduled a game with the Decatur high school second team, to he played in the D, H. S. gym Saturday night. Coach Curtis, of Decatur, probably will use the first (earn substitutes in the lineup against Geneva, and the contest should be an interesting one. Tho Decatur third te :n will play the Geneva seconds in tfc - p diminary game. Garrett’s first and second teams will invade the city Friday night to meet the Decatur Yellow Jackets. Decatur and Garrett have only one game scheduled for this seasen. This should be a good game, as Garrett is reported to be stronger than last year’s quintet. The Decatur Commodores won their third straight victory Saturday night at Decatur, defeating the Shelbyville Catholic team, 34 to 23. Looks like Decatur would have two strong high school fives in the field this year. Both the Yellow Jackets and Commodores are undefeated. —Out cf Bounds, Bluffton Banner “Sideliner" of the Eaton Community Spectc'nr has this to say of tlm Fighting Five, “llerne has a mighty strong team, both in ability and weight and are a w rtby opponent on the fc'ardt (.od.” T’-e game scheduled between Monm .nth and Woodburn for Friilay night at Hoagland, lias been postponed, duo to the fact that it was impossible to get the Hoagland gym or any other gym for that night. The game will be played at a later date. UP TO DATE, THE PLAYING OF TFIE BLUFFTON RED AND BLACK HAS NOT BEEN AS COLORFUL AS THE NAMES OF THE TWO TEAMS. The North Side Redskins, cf Fort Wayne, will open their season Friday night, and incidentally dedicate' their new gym, with the Kendallvllle Red. Devils furnishing the opposition. Wo

imagine the North Side fans would enjoy the dedication much more if some team with less ability than Kendailville were booked for the encounter. The attendance at the Commodores game with Shelbyville here Saturday night was much better than at the first two games. The Commies deserve stil better support. Our good friend, Fred Oates, who was turning out "Lampings by Tutes" in tlie Peru Tribune years ago when we were cubbing, and whose supply of Lampings seems to.be inexhuustahle. used up a whole column in the esteemed Tribune the other day telling what a strong team the Peru Tigers have this year. He bemoaned the fact that the Tigs have no games scheduled with Logans part, Kokomo and Marion, former rivals of Peru in football and baseball. Tutes is all pepped up over Peru’s prospects this year, and well he should be, for Peru -has the best basketball team in the city's history. Peru has been playing basketball only five or six years. The Tigers come to Decatur to meet the Yellow Jackets on January 27, and Tutes can rest assured that they will have plenty cf opposition here. We hereby en tend an inviation to Tutes to visit us and see the game. “Dear Maik M. Upp: Berne has been winning games at a great pace and has beaten Hartford, who beat Kirkland by a small margin. We do not doubt ihat they think Kirkland an easy mark but they must remember Kirkland's teams are improving and the school spirit is greater. So Berne had better watch out, for Kirkland is going to be there in full force to win and they d .n’t mean maybe. ‘Barneo’, a Kirkland Fan.” The first game of the reason in Decatur between two independent teams will be played in the D. H. S. gym .tonight with the G. E. quintet and tho Kirkland Whippets clashing.

HERE’S THE CRACK TEAM THEY’RE ALL TALKING ABOUT * ' — - - *

Still unbeaten this season, and with a victory overt Yale to its iredlt. the University of Georgia eleven j has aroused nation-wide interest. In the line, left to right: (’apt. Shivers, Lautxenhim. Smith, Boland, |

will name eleven men on his allUncrlcan football team for 1927, just ts though he didn't know that there ire a thousand good ones out through he country and the eleven best prpbihly could not be Infallibly and defi- , litely declared this side of the here-, ifter. Nor does one know that Welch is • letter halfback than Presnell or bai Nash is one of two stand-out nils to the ultimate annoyance of Urn, Colo Scott, Mathews, Le Crone ind oth -rs‘: Obviously, one does not. 3ne merely knows that Welch was more sensational than was Presnell he only til;.- lh- > no t a:ui that while one scout in ooutli ..light egard Nash as no better, if as good is his team mate. Shiver- the general dea down there is that Nasli is a ■omliinatiou of Bonar and Winslett tml it is fair to assume that no team can have two ends like that at one

i Jacobson. Mbrris and Nash. The backs, left to r'ght: McTlgtie. McCrary, Estes and Johnson Inset • shows McCrary, star backfield man. (International Newsreel)

and the same time. i The witter, therefore, considers himself merely n clearing house for. the views cf coaches and observers all ever tho country in making these selections. As a matter of fact, th n 1 games he personally witnessed serv- j | ed more to eliminate than to install 1 possible candidates. He saw Sprague, ! of the Army, play two fine games at tackle against Notre Dame and the Navy and is thoroughly satisfied with the selection. Smith, of Notre Dame, looked the part of a good, steady guard, much along the lines of Webster, of Yale, the inspiring ' .Hi, of a very strong offensive line. So, outstanding guards being few this year, this pair gets the call. As for Oosteihaan at end, Spears at quarterback and Drury at halfback. 1 they simply cannot miss. Ousterbaan's passing and receiving, in addition to his defensive end play, puts him in automatically: Spears is the

j greatest hack the south has seen In years and Drury’s running against Stanford and California, irrespective i of his work in the Notre Dame game, leaves one no alternative but to name j him with all seemly haste. Hibbs, iliko Sprague, is big, strong, fast and 'jiggresi'ivf and altogether seems to be about as good as they come. Bettencourt, up with the good ones for several years, reached his peak iat centre in 1927. If he hadn't, ha ; might have missed again, for the was extremely insistent about the great capabilities of Butcher and there were a lot of high class nun v. ho wouldn't be out of place on auy man’s team. Jousting wasn't quite the man-eater who tore opposing lines to tatters in 1926. But who can name a better man among the fullbacks of today? If they can. I'll simply have to relitinuish the rungless stepladder to them
