TIfiERS TAMED BY YELLOW JACKETS 1). 11. S. Varsitv And Sec onds Beat Bluffton Rivals, 34-26 And 28-26 Two Decatur high school ba.sketbal quintets and 300 ardent Yellow Jack t i tans paid their annual visit to Blufl ton last night and gave two highly ton ted cocky Tiger aggregations a coupb of trimming* on their own hardwoot befoie a crowd estimated at 1,400. Thi embryo Jacket team pulled the ol< victoiy out of the fire in the clositii seconds of a thrillei and walked awaj with a 26-24 win over the Bluffton var sity Beds. In the main go of the annual “bat tie of battles", the Decatur high schoo Yellow Jackets, (in person, not a moving pictuie) outplayed, outfought, on l smarted and outscored the Parlor Citj team to the sweet tune of 34 to 26. B th games wele thrillers and Hint after time, the large crowd, estimated to be the largest ever packed inti the Bluffton Community building, rose to Its feet, almost forgetting tire half century feud existing between the twc cities and heartily applauded Ixrth teams. The Tigers fought an uphill battle amt never were in a position where they could hope a victory, but they kept plugging hard all the wav and tirade the Curtis-coached Jackets play ha.,l during several minutes of each half. Decatur Seconds Rally ' In the opening game between the two second teams, the score see-sawed back and forth all during the first half, but the Junior Jackets wriggled out a 10-7 lead just as the half closed. Kocher, the'mldget guard for the local team, played a real defensive game and time after time he broke up passes that had all the ear-marks of baby Tiger field goals. In the second half Decatur held on to the lead for about 10 minutes anil then the Tiger Cubs tore loose with an offensive tally that looked fatal. Decatur took time out and at the resumption of play lie Bolt. Reynolds and Shoaf counted front the field and a great big explosion from a 38-callbre gun ended the scrap in nice shape. Big Game Air Tight Ten minutes later, the event anticipated for months, became a realism and the two rival teams were tossing the old leather circle about in true Decatur-Bluffton fashion. For the first live minutes the game was airtight Bluffton scored first on a free-throw, but in a few minutes the count was all tied up. When Bluffton was leading 1-0 It was the only time during the entire 40 minutes that the Tigers were ahead. With about five minutes remain ing in the fit st half and with Decatur leading 3-2, .Mr. Curtis's basketball team began playing basketball, and Hill, Anadell and Gerber unleashed .in attack on the basket that proved the undoing cf the Tigets. The first half ended the Purple and (told in front 18-8. Bluffton failed to score from the field until the closeing minutes of the first half when Ellenberger and Pyle hit the net for mnr';ers. Jackets Continue To Score In the secon 1 -t nza, Decatur came back strong : id valked into a 25-9 lead. The lee i) d .-iense was air-tight and Bluffton was unable to score a field goal. Bill Bell local forward was ejected from the game on four personal fouls with the score 23-9. Chet Reynolds was sent in and played a good game scoring twice from the field and holding his openent well in dheck. During the last 10 minutes of the game, the Jackets wete content to play a slowe more conservative game. Bluffton scored several long shots in a row and with about 5 minutes left to go the Tigers strengthened and tore into a rally that at one time brought them to within 4 points of Decatur. The game was never really in danger.l however, and as soon as necessary the I Decatur offensive began working and took on another comfortable lead. And Now It’s Over The fi’al gun ended the suffering of Mr. Louis Means and his 1,200 net fans and lite score showed that Decatur had cx’-acted a well-earned vi<- " ’>« Blufftcn team for the thi I consecutive time. Bluffton ha:, faili ! to win a game from Decatur lor the past two years, and every indication points to the fact that it will take at least another year before anything like a Tiger win could possibly occur. For Bluffton Pyle and Ellenberger were the chief scoring threats. Pyle also played a good floor game and on many occasions broke up Decatur passes. Carl Gerber played a good game at center for Decatur, He held Crosble to a lone field goal, passed the ball accurately and counted three times from the field for the Jackets. Anadell and Hill also played hard, fast and furious every second of the game. Joe Krick

The Cardinv als led throughout the first ha?f and s were in front, 24 to 23 at the rest f period. The Cardinals started like a house alive and led 12-0 after about five p minutes of play. Hawbajker had 1 dumped in five field goals and Stah- , ley one. Then the Gorillas began to I pull themselves together and the con test giew hotter. N. Banter, of HartI fo;d. and Hawbaker, of Geneva, were . the scoring aces last night. Banter . getting eight baskets and the latter, nine. Banter evened the scoring honors, however. by caging four free ! throws to two for Hawbaker. Hartford’s victory was costly last | night, as X. Banter, the star of the ' team, suffered a badly wrenched back when he fell while going in un der the basket for a shot about the ’ middle of the second half. He probably will be out of the game for a month. Coach Windmiller, cf Hartford, will have three 1 new players eligible next week-end. as the first semester will be over by then. They are: Smith and Schlagenhauf, two . lophomores who have been ineligible on account of their grades, and Marshall Schrogham, former Lancaster star, who enrolled in Hartford high school for the first time last fall.

The Yellow Jackets took the “1" . i cut of Titters and inserted an “a’’. I t The Yeilow Jackets won a couple of ball games from Bluffton last night f but the Bluffton fans and players won our admiration for the fine manner in which they took the beatings. Our friend Buckner was busy between halves subtracting from t,he Ifi-point victory- he predicted for the Tigers. —— The Tigers staged a nice comback for a few minutes in the second half and put a lot of pep into the game. And it was that ever present long'ng for a victory over Decatur that Inspired them to do it. We don’t mean to be razzing an official, but it certainly is nsusual, to say the least, to see an umpire who is on the opposite side of tile floor | . from a play run across the floor and | call a foul on a player when the referee, who was standing less than . five feet from the play, has called it held ball. Crosley, of Pendleton, who . was the said umpire last night, assumed about 95 per cent of the responsibility of refereeing the game, while Referee Kline, of Fcrt Wayne, > had to play second fiddle. The offi- ! elating, as a whole, was fair and! 1 above a lot we have seen. The Commodores apparently didn't . lose any of their cunning during their s inactivity of three weeks’ duration.; . Berne’s Fighting Five lived up to its ) j title, but couldn’t match the Commo* i J dores’ basket-shooting. i i The South Side Midgets are plenty, • good.

’ARMY AND NAVY SCHOOLS BREAK U. S. Military And Naval Academies Sever Athletic Relations New York. Dec. 16 —(UP) Aller 36 years of athletic relations the Army and Navy West Point .Military . Acmit my ami the Naval Academy at I Annapolis - have seveted relations. | Officials of the two schools last I night decided to end the football relations which annually have resulted . in one of the most colorful games of the entire football season. Last season the game drew 76,000 people at the Yankee stadium. The preceding year 110,000 people watched the game , at Soldier's Field in Chicago. The technical reason involved Is • over eligibility. Both schools for years have used players who had played in other colleges before entering Ute academies. Last season Harry Wilson was captain of the Army team. He had played three years at Penn State before entering the military academy and was an All Ametican back there. j The Navy ut the close of this year asked the Army to enforce the regular colleqiate rule against any player. who had played three years on a college team before entering the academies playing witli one of the service elevens. This the Army refused to accede to and athletic relations were broken off. Admiral L. M. Nultoii, commandant of tlie naval academy, wrote offlcals of the military academy December 3 •pointing out Annapolis bad accepted the three year coLegiate eligibility rule and that il the Army disregarded relations automatically would be severed. Major General E. B. Winans, superintendent of the military academy, wrote in reply that the Army would not accede to such a ruling and that if the .Navy desired to schedule other games on the dates already set for the Army-Navy classic, it would meet with the regretful approval of the military academy. The Army has refused the three year eligibility rule on the grounds it has a small institution — smaller than the Navy—and that none of its cadets should be barred from participation in athletics, despite provious activities on the gridiron. The ruling by the Navy means that Tod Slcane, who caught a pass and | raced for a touchdown against the A: my this year will be barred from further ahtletic participation. Among the At my stars who would have been barred under the ruling are Bud Sprague, captain elect for next year, Cagle. Murrell and Nave. o Manchester Swamps Wittenberg Quintet Manchester. Ind., Dec. 17.—(UP) — Manchester college almost doubled the score on the visiting Wittenberg net men here last night, the gun ending the caging with Manchester on the long end of a 35 to 18 count. Kraning of the local aggregation sniped five field goals while Trautweln was high point man for the visitors.

seasons now and it takes a mighty good team to lick them. I The Geneva Cardinals played a whale of a game last night, according to persons who saw the game, but just couldn't put across a victory* They had the Hartford Gori’las down 12-0 during the first five minutes of their game, and were still ahead at ’he halfway station, but the Gorillas pulled out in the lead. Monroe showed a reversal of form last night and was forced to take a one-point defeat at the hands of Monroeville. Monroeville has outscored Monroe threte points in two games. , Jefferson handed Coach Gerke’s ‘ Monmouth eagers another defeat last night at Berne. It was the second victory of the season over Monmouth for Coach Marsh' five. Kirkland goes to Rockcreek tonight ‘o meet the Dodgers. Rockcreek almost halted the flying Ossian Bears last night, but the Bears won by one joint, 35-34. Syracuse, a team that meets the Yellow Jackets here Dec. 27, beat i Kendallville last night, 42-41. Looks 1 like it would be a mighty nice attracI Lion for the holiday fans. I Decatur fans will have two nice battles to take in next week. St. ! Rose high of Lima, Ohio, plays the Commodores here Wednesday night, and Delphi meets the Yel’ow Jackets j here on Thursday evening. Both i games should be hairraisers.

I Apparently the German athletic ;.u thoritles weio not ill-ndvlsed In their opposition to Dr. Otto Peltier’s visit to I his country. ' Befote ttl’ l noted middle distance y runnel had si much as set foot upon t American soil, he encountered one of I those snatos which occasionally eni trap tlie unwary amateur and turn him ’• Into it peifectly terrible professional I with whom good little athletes no lonf ger may associate. i-1 When Peltzer arrived, lie was met t aboard the Nor th German Lloyd liner < by a giatip of pournalUts. Including ” | one of his own race who obtained from j him an "exclusive photograph" of the 4 doctor In tunning togs training on 'he r deck cf tlie Berlin. This photograph 1 according to the testimony it othei ' icportei.s, the Gorman journalist 1 promptly offered for sale, naming ss(> as the price. Now had such a sale been made, the : ' finger of suspicion must inevitably I have siiwng around to the direction of I Dr. Peltzer. Amateurs may do many things, but collaboiating in the sale oi ’ ph tographs is tahco. | Realizing the danger, ths Journalist ' ‘ ennounced later that lie had not of fcred to sell the photograph, adding that “anyway, Peltzer knew nothing about it.” Nothing came of the incident, of eom.se. but It Mas a close .shave. It was, to say the least, an Inauspicious sta;t tm the German athlete’s Anmri- [ can visit. The question of h w long a tinu must elapse before a professional can be washed white as tlie driven snov. and restored to good standing in any given athletic community has been raised again in France. The French are not worrying very much about the Olympic Games, how--1 evei. except to wonder where the honey to supnirt a team is coining ficm. What interests France is retention of the Davis Cup. Although well equipped as to cup defendeis in the persons of Rene LaCoste, Jean Borotra, Henri Cochet and Jacques Bruguon, the French are going to leave no stone unturned to keep the cup which they carried away from tlie courts of Germantown last fall. Having an idea that Paul Feret, the ,young French professional, might pos slbly come in handy in amateur circles La Coste and the other musketeers went before 4be tennis federation am suggested that Feret be declared ai amateur once more. The customary formality in sue) cases requires an athlete who has lap sed from grace to do five years cf par ance before regaining his or her aina teurism. "Lt's waive the formality in Feret’ 1 case", suggested LaCoste. “He didn’ make very much money out of C. C Pyle anyway." But it seems that young Mr. Fere' at one time had been guilty of speaking out of turn. Upon accepting a lu crative offer from C. C. Pyle to tun pro, he had remarked: "Well, anyway. I'd rather be an hen est professional than a heavy sugar amateur, like some of my friends.” As far as the federation is concerned Mr. Feret remains an honest proses sional. Levy and Cohen It recently was suggested to Johr McGraw that he acquire for the Giant 1 either Ty Cobb cr Tris Speaker, tht idea being to add a colorful, popula player to the pay-roll and some colorful populat dollars to the gate receipts McGraw turned thumbs down on thi plan.'He had another one—not a new one, particularly, but cne which he still favors. The manager of the Giants wants r , Jewish star for his liall club. He be lieves that the only individual who car offset in a measure the popularity of Babe Ruth in New York City must b< i of Hebrew exti action. And not very fai extracted, either. When the Giants go to Augusta foi spring training they will take will them two young Jewish ballplayers ’ either of whem may some day deVeio) ■ into tlie star of Bethlehem of which ' McGraw dreams. One of them. Andy Cohen, lias beer fast company before, but was farmed 1 out to the International League, where lie did exceedingly well in 1927. Tht I other. John Levy, a pitcher, joined the Giants' squad this year, but failed to win a regular berth. Cohen is an infielder, anil with Ter- ! ry. Hornsby, Jackson and Lindstrom ’ on the job his chances of breaking ’ i through to fame would seem to be ' slight. I Good Jewish ballplayers have been II are. ( 1 ex> Rickard, who is a show-man and like McGraw, knows his New York | has been constantly on the look-out fc. 1 a good Jewish heavy-weight. They ( have been rarer than good Jewish ballplayers. I Yale Okum is about the best of the lot. but he is a light heavyweight, an d , he was soundly thrashed the other ev ! ening by Loe Lomski. I They tell a story about Rickard’s ’ search for a Jewish hockey star, when 3 the ice game became popular in this city and Madison Square Cardin

So I the i>lan fell through JEFFERSON WINS FROM MONMOUTH Monmouth Quintet Loses In Game Played At Berne Last Night, 22-13 The Jefferson high school eagers, for tlie second time this season defeat-1 ed the Monmouth high school quintet., 'n a game played at Berne last night. The scoie of last night's game was 22 to 13. Both teams were slightly oft foim last night, but Jefferson was master of the situation most of the time Johnson was out of tlie Monmouth lineup, his physician having advised ’ him to quit the game.
