DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY, .IAN

FIELD GOALS) By MARK M. UPP

Clippings we>c numerous today, so getting out the column today looks comparatively easy, despite tho fact ‘hat contributions are conspiciouj by their absence. It seems that every time Coach Hub Curtis, of the Yellow Jackets, foes down to Martinsville to see his brother Glenn's team play, the Martinsvillt- team loses. Herb saw I<oganspcrt beat Martinsville, and 'ast week ho was among those present when the Muncie Bear Cats turned the trick. If Herb isn’t careful, he won't get any more invitations to ‘be city of baths during the basketball season. Elder high, of Concinnati, has been added to the Commodores schedule. The Commies will go to Cincinnati Thursday night and stop off at RichI tnond to play the Richmond Catholics Friday night. Whenever Auburn and Decatur [teams clash, the strong rivalry near- [ !y always makes the game uncertain. Last year, Decatur defeated Auburn at Auburn, but when the return ame was played here, Auburn won. The Yellow Jackets handed the uptaters a sound trouncing at Auburn at the start of the season. Will the tables be turned again this year? Tiie Kirkland Kangaroos will have •a ugh sailing again Friday night, when they meet the fast Union Center team. But word from the Kangaroos’ camp states that business is picking up there and a surprise party s being planned for the Wells county lads. Berne's Fighting Five travois outside the state for a game at Dola, Ohio, Friday night. Little is known 3f the Buckeye outfit, but Coach Johnson is preparing for a stiff game. Monroe and Geneva should have a merry battle here Saturday night. They appear to be pretty evenly matched. Many fans are planning to follow ‘he Yellow Jackets to Fort Wayne Saturday night for tho game with outh Side. South Side plays North Side on Friday night. A victory for he Yellow Jackets In that game vould partial y eliminate the sting of he locals' defeat at the hands of Central. "If you want to know' where the ’anus in the American League Proessional basketball circuit are play I ng, all you have to do is look at the ■.cores and you see which team won When Fort Wayne wins, for instance, t is a sure sign it played at home, ind tho same rule holds all through .be league. A lot of local fans were iisappointed with the way college basketball is run off, but they haven’t eeu anything yet* If you want to get sick tor a dollar, leave the moonshine alone and attend a professional net “game.”—Kokomo Dispatch. Fan Whlifs Explodes Fan Whiffs of the Huntington Hera'd gives off a lot concerning the Bluffton-Pittsburgh game as follows: "Pittsburgh Tech made Huntington look a lot better last night. By that we mean that the Pennsylvanians, not being forced to combat an iron-clad defense such as they met at Huntington, really broke loose against Bluffton and . hould have won the game by about ten points. Instead, the Pitt team was defeated by a 40 to 30 score. The reason had a whistle." "Ninety-nine times out of the wellknown hundred wo restrain our feelings about officials and officiating—since we know only too well the griefs asociated therewith. But the last half of the Pittsburgh-Bluffton game was a little too one-sided for us. It is true that the Scarlet-clads were guilty of ‘crabbing’ but the boys would have had to have wings on their shoulders to take all they were handed without some signs of protest." "Were not attempting to criticize Bluffton officials or the players, and we. don’t want the boys on the Banner or the News to think that. We re merely saying that the referee, whoever he may have been, didn’t do very g< oil job in the last half. The easterners committed many fouls we will admit. since the officiating in thoir home state evidently' is much Idoser than is tlie case in Indiana. However, the complaints of the players evidently irritated the referee, and undoubtedly unconsciously, he lost his sense of balance in the last period." "Bluffton, in our humble opinion, has a go nl average team and if the Vikings play against the Tigers as they did against Pittsburgh this week they should defeat the Wells county eagers in the game here on February 18. That 'if' is a mighty important factor, Norsemen.” A Basketball Game “Before a frenzied crowd that

thronged the huge Martinsville high i school gymnasium tho Curtis conched ' Red and Blue hardwood uggregaiion bowed in defeat to the Muncie "Bearcats” by a 45 to 40 margin in the most ihrilling net conflict staged on the 1 loeal floor this year. While four thousand people raised their voices in deafening cheese tho Martinsville noi team payed a hard and losing game, rallying time and again to over come tho narrow lead to which the Bearcats elung tenaciously, but every spint fell i little short of the mark and timely sroring sprees of the Munch- combination always kept I them a few points to the good. From | the moment the ball was tossed up at Ihe center ring to open the tilt, li ri 1 followed thrill as the game moved with cver-increasing speed. Both outfits moved at top speed thioughout tlie grinding battle and each eagerly took advantage of every little break in the game. After a whirlwind first Half the locals trailed tn a 25 to 20 count after jumping into a 7 to 4 lead at the outset. Both teams played ,an uncanny accuracy in shooting frem all parts of the floor 'but the long range shooting of Eber coupkd with the tir.il->r basket thrusts of the long, l-'nky Charlie Secrist gave the visitors a slight edge over the local scrappers.” — Martinsville Reporter. Well Named Froebcl again won the Streater, BL, invitational Holiday basketball tournament Saturday by defeating Crane Tech of Chicago, Peoria Manual and Streator high school. —Suckers they are for inviting an Indiana team. —• Sportfolio, Goshen Daily Democrat. More About Pittsburgh "Pittsburgh Tech fell before the Decatur Commodores at the high school gym in Decatur Sunday evening. This makes the fourtli straight defeat for the eastern team on their holiday tour of this section. Teams before which Tech took tlie count are Huntington. Bluffton, Fort Wayne South Side and the Decatur Commodores. If Pittsburgh Tech is a fair example of eastern basketball, Indiana surely has nothing to concede to the east. Fact is, in all Tech’s games thus far, the Indiana teams played by far the cleaner brand of ball." — Out of Bounds, Bluffton Banner. — o Chicago—Walter Dunham, Chicago Sandlot catcher, lias been signed by the Milwaukee Brewers of the American Association.

I , ' (jVoivßeadu ■ a \<» ESSEX‘S w Bodies-Larger and Roomier New Appearance from Radiator toTail LightFtner Fittings-Four Wheel Brakes - High Compression-Long Life Motor & Aii AmazmgPrice One look at the new Essex Super-Six will convince you that it will excel in popularity the Essex which has just completed the most successful year ever achieved by a sixcylinder car. From radiator to tail light it is a smarter, more beautiful car than even the Essex which preceded it. And in performance it surpasses in smoothness, reliability, speed and ease of handling, the standard Essex owners are so proud to acclaim You get an impression of completeness and fine quality in the design of every detail. From the new pattern Colonial lights — the higher, narrower radiator with vertical shutters — the heavy sweeping fenders—the rubber-covered running boards—the new improved steering mechanism and the steering wheel similar in design and construction to that now used on the very latest and very highest priced ears—there is outstanding reason for pride The bodies are not only new and roomier but are so designed as to givea lasting, solid, rigid service. The roof is flatter—the car is bigger in fact and in appearance. Door fittings, hinges and locks are impressively substantial and lastingly beautifu . The world’s largest sale of six-cylinder cars became an Essex achievement solely because of merit. But with all these advantages, there is also an amazing price reduction. The Sedan at $795 f. o. b. Detroit is S4O below the Sedan price of last year. Buyers can pay for cars out of income at loosest available charge for interest, handling and insurance • P. Kirsch & Son North Second St. Phone 335.
