A misunderstanding arose over the name schtduled by Berne with Montpelier for Dec. 23, and the game was played on November 23, instead. The Decatur Catholic high school Commodores will open the week's activities when they clash with St. Hose high school of Lima, on the local hardwood. Wednesday night. On Thursday night, the Decatui high school Yellow Jackets will meet the strong Delphi high school eagers in this city. Several games are scheduled for Friday night. De atnr's Yellow Jac kets go to Angola for a game Geeva will play Jefferson at Berne; Kirkland will meet Petroleum on the Kirkland tiool ; Hartford and Monroe will clash on the Decatur high schoo tioo;; and Monmouth will go to Fluff ton to play the Bluffton varsity Red. The Commodores ate expected tc meet one of their hardest tests of thi season tomorrow night when the Lima quintet invades the city. The Buckeyes handed the Commodores their first defeat last season, after th< locals had won twenty straight games Several vet rans of last year’s squad will lie here tomorrow night for the game. The Yellow Jackets look upon Delphi and Angola as two worthy opponents. Delphi, although not from the southern part of the state, i; touched by Paul Lostetter, forme: Frankfort and Franklin coach ant’ plays the southern type of game. The Carroll county boys are scheduled tc meet Columbus. Anderson. Jeffersoi of Lafayette. Fort Wayne South Side Bedford and several other strong teams this season, and the game her "hursday night will give local fan: an opportunity to compare the Yel low Jackets with some of the strum teams of the state. Angola has lorn been a strong rival of the Yellov Jackets and another hard game is ex pe.ted there Friday night. Geneva's Cardinals, after losin their first nine games, will make a sttenuous effort to break into the wicolumn Friday night at the expens of the Jefferson quintet, but Jeff ha won a majority of her games thi year end will not concede anythin to Geneva. Kirkland will rmet one of thi strong teams in Wells county whet the Petroleum quintet invade; th' Kangaroos' gym Friday night. Th Kangaroos have won two out of three games f.om Weils county teams thir year and are out to fatten their aver age. The dope appears to favor Hartford in the Gorillas’ game with Monroe, but Coach Everhart’s Monroe eagers art coming along at a rapid pace now am may spring a surprise, since N. Bant er, Hartford’ star who was injured it th ■ game with Geneva last week likely will be unab’e to play. Monmouth, with four consecutive defeats and no vi tories, will have tough opposition in the Bluffton Reds but can be c< it ' I on for a good g a me. Bob O’Farrdl May Not Play Pan* Os Next Yeai St. Louis, Mo..
