I FIELD GOALS) (By MARK M. UPP T-J... ■ - . — . ' The Commodores displayed a powerful second half punch again last night in defeating Shelbyville Catholic, on the floor, 36-28. The Commies were behind at the half. 1714 Coach Laurent's quintet probably will have a tough lime tonight at Anderson, as the Catholic school gym there is not the best there is. However. the Commodores should add another victory. The Delphi quintet invaded Bedford ast night and held the crack Bedford ciew to a three-point victory, Bedford winning, 28-36. Bedford holds a vicloiy over the state champion .Martinsville crew this season, too. Since Decatur's Yellow Jackets defeated Delphi 39-36. and Fort Wayne South Side handed Lostetter's quintet a I 37-27 trouncing it doesn’t look so bad | for the teams in this neck of the woods. "Decatur would make a good oppon ent for Goshen. Ail the Yellow Jackets did was hand Syracuse a 74-20 defeat for the first setback the Lake Side boys have suffered. A lead of 35-4 was piled at the naif. Evidently Decatur will be heard from before this season is over.’’—Sportfolio, Gosi.en Daily Democrat.

No Red Hot Mammas Over at Wabash, the hibh sclioo’ girl basketball players are called "Snowballs.” Wouldn't that chill you? “CRUMBS From Basketball — It's Bred in Indiana." is the head of a basketball column started in the Wabash Plain-Dealer, recently. Its a right sn tppy column. Now if the high school there will turn out a basketball team that will come somewhere near the effectiveness of Wabash football teams. Hartford plays Lancaster at Berne 'onight. The Scrogham brothers will be opposing each other, one playing with Lancaster and the other with Hartford. Our money is placed on Hartford.

'CENTRAL PLAYS ST. lOE TONIGHT Second Game Os Annual ' City Championship Series To Be Played Tonight » ■ A treat is in store for locnl basketball fans tonight when the St. Joe and , Central eighth grade teams clash in the Decatur high school gymnasium in ’ the second game of the annual threegame series to decide the city eighth grade championship and which team will have possession of the George Wemhoff trophy for the ensuing year Centtal's blue clad eagers won the first contest and win be fighting to night to end the series by winning their second straight game.

The pro ceeds will be divided between the two teams. o Ziegfeld’s “Kid Boots” Is Coming To Fort Wayne The first presentation of Florenz Ziegfeld’s widely heralded musical comedy, “Kid Boots.” will be made at the Shrine Auditorium. Fort Wayne on Saturday night of this week with a matinee and evening performance on Sunday. In placing the locale at Palm Beach, the producer was able to utilize Spanish achitecture, semi-tropical skies and costumes ranging from sport clothes to the resplendent masquerades of a fancy dress ball. The final scenes of both sets are on a level with Mr. Ziegfeld's most sumptuous productions. The hero in the story of "Kid Boots" is a romantic young millionaire. who. in order to discover whether his charms are sufficient to overcome the handicap of supposed poverty, disguises himself as a semi-pro-fessional at the Everglades Club and wooes his lady while giving her golf lessons. Tht re is atournament between the champions of the Everglades and the Hudson River Clubs, with a cup and the heroine’s hand as stakes. "Kid Boots.” the caddie master, disables the New Yorker’s wrist by smacking it with a hammer, and the semi-pro, unmasked as a youih of wealth and a member of the Hudson Club, takes his place. The hero loses at the eighteenth hole by missing an easy putt, due to a ‘loaded’ golf ball, which one ot his admirers has foisted on his rival, and which the latter had innocently transfered to his competitor. With musical comedy logic, the discovery of this fact bestows both cup and gill on the player intended to benefit by a deliberate cheat. The kcore provides bewitching melodies that are being hummed and whistled everywhere. "A Day at the Cub," “Keep Your Eye on the Ball," "The Same Old Way,” "Why Don’t You Say So," "Got to Have More,” “In the Swim,” “The Old Lake Trail," “Bet on the One You Fancy,” and “Polly Pus the Kettle On" are fascinating. The comedy lines are fresh ami snappy and create a gatling-gun response of laughter. There are some eighty singers, comedians and dancers. Among the principals whose popularity registered all last season in “Kid Boots” are' Pauline Blair, an adorable, and melodious figure in musical comedy; Eddie Nelson, a whimsical comique familiar in "Artists and Models"; Harriett V. Miller, Howard Quigley, Frances King, George Mantel), Chuna Paula, Charles Prince, Harry Watson, George Bogue, Patsy Ruth Clark, Fred Sibley, John Faber and Fit! Daro. There is a glorified Ziegfeld chorus of beauties —daintily charming gills who know now to sing and dance. Itx ~ —o Dates Announced For Amateur Net Tourney Indianapolis, Dec. 30.—(UP)—The 1 finals of the Indiana Independent Amateur Basketball Association's annual tournament will be played here February 23, 24 and 25, it was announced last night.
