ST. JOSEPH WINS WEMHOFFTNOPHY Catholic School Gagers Win Deciding Game Os Eighth tirade Series Tho George Wemhoff marine trophy, symbolic of the city eighth grade has kethull championship, will remain in the possession of the St. Joseph Catholic school for another year, as the result of a 34 24 victory scored by the gold clad eagers of that school over the Hine of Central in the third and deciding game of the annual threegame series between the two schools last night. The game was played In the Decatur high school gymnasium, before a good sized crowd of fans. This is the second consecutive year that St. Joe has won the trophy. St. Joe held the had throughout the game last night, although Central was a serious threat during most of the battle. Inability to score op apparently easy shots at the basket cost Central the game. Coach Thomas’ boys got the tip off nearly every time during the first half, and swept down the floor for close-in shots, but their shots went wild. Once the St. Joe boys gained possession of the bull, they would start a fast passing attack that carried th<‘m within shooting distance and they scored a good percentage of their shots. The game was fast and the fans furnished plenty j of rooting. St. Joe scored first and Jumped into a 2-0 lead. Then Brown. Central's floor guard, sank a couple of baskets for his team. St. Joe forged ahead to a 10-4 lead, but Central came back to close the gap up to two points. This was the nearest Central came to tying the score. With the score stand > ing 10-8, St. Joe took time out and successfully stopped the Central rally. The rest of the half was decidedly St. Joe's, the score at the rest period being 24-10. Shortly after the second half opened, Klepper, St. Joe center, was injured and forced out of the game for [ a few minutes. Central rallied, scor-

I FIELD GOALS By MARK M. UPP (,lz= =~

Judging from the fine material on the St. Joe and Central eighth grade teams, which met in the deciding game for the city eighth grade championship last night, the Commode res and Yellow Jackets will have plenty of material to draw from In years t >j come. The two teams played real bus-, ketball and their Sportsmanship was unexcelled. More power to both teams. Some loyal fan presented a rabbit's foot to Coac.li Bill Bryan and his Kirkland Kangaroos before their game witli the crack Union Center team last weekt-end. The Kangaroos wen tho game. Now it is rumored that Coach ' Bill Windmiller and the Hartford Gor-| Illas borrowed the labbit's foot before| their game with the Commodores here Wednesday night. No Kiddin', Cash "Bear stoiies out cf Decatur say that the Yellow Jacket team will be crippled by the injury of Bell .star forward, who humped heads with another player in practice and thereby suffered a long cut above one of his ’eyes. However, our guess is that Mr. Bell will be very much present Friday and hat neither he nor his teammates will be deterred in the slightest form doing their best by injuries cr anything. And Decatm's best is very good, indeed" —Fan Whiff.*, Huntington Herald. If The Shoe Fits, Wear It Deal Mark: Imagine! Become seriott, if for the first time in your life! What < mid affect the morale of a team more than to see a small township high school being backed by a larger delegation than the home team in a city as populous as Decatur? When your friends, alumni, townsfolk desert you. what is to carry a team on? And let it be stated here, that were it not for the loyal support though it i lie small in consequence to a compare--1 tively small school .of the high school | students and save for a few other per- ' sistent backets, Decatur Catholic high

school would be with mt consistent hacking—n high school without bucking that has made Docatnr famous, known the country over, respected renown and drawing enormous crowds away from home, where •fans appreciate. But why the small crowds? Are l.ecutur fans expecting a vlet >ry every time, because for five years it has been so? Are they disgusted and knoik whin a game is lost? Do they stop supporting whi n . no game Is lost because they thing we should have won; Wo will not attempt any answer | to above. We leave that to you, .'Oil the basketball enthusiasts of the city, you who are the first to commend, you whom the above may hit. We d > no’ beg you to come, wo don’t have to, but then don't crab ami cry about "wliut should have been done." If you, the socalled loyal suppoiters, etc., feel justified that you ure doing your part f r what you expect, then you tire glorified and these lines are not meant for yi u. Many games will unquestionably be lost if tho support does not become better. Do fans expect a team to [day j to empty seats and still retain that o!' fight that wins so many gutties? Surely not. We will close with hope and God help us keep that hope. Sincerely yours. Bullsh E. Vick A Warning Dear Matk: Kirkland plays the Commodores Saturday night. It will be too 1 bad for Kirkland for the Commodores ! will take their spite cut on them for I the defeat received at the hands of Hartford. Anyway, if I predict rite, tile score will be Commodores, 58: Kirkland. 17. Come on Commodores lets put Kirkland off the map. Blue Jay. Dear Mark: Last Wednesday nite me and my best pal went to see the Commodore-Hartford game, it was one swell game, but it turned cut backwards. The Commodores had tough luefc b.v the bushels and every time they shot the ball tolled around tho hoop a couple of times and then fell off on the outside whereas thu Hartford players had more luck than sense. To see the Hartford players make baskets in the last fifteen minutes, tie would thing they carried lucky coin i or something of that sort. The Commodores never came up and kept on fighting. It was a good game allrlght, only it came out all wet. Come on Commodores, lets go. Blue Jay —o —- Gehrig Drives In Most Runs New York.
