Commodore forward, was one of the ten high school players in the state placed,on thq weekly honor roll of Hardwood Double Dribbles, in the Indianapolis Star,, this week. The story of the Huntington-Yellow Jacket game in the Huntington Press Saturday morning said: ‘‘The Huntington Vikings lost to the Decatur Yellow Jackets last night, partly on account cf a rather ‘raw’ deal on the refereeing and partly on their inability to make tlieir many shots at the basket.” In other words, that sport writer still thinks Huntington has a better team than the Yellow Jackets, despite the fact that Decatur won by a 16-point margin. Next time, we'll make .it a little more convincing, eh, Yellow Jackets? We looked through the list of exchanges in vain this morning for the Huntington Herald. Can it bo that Cash Keller was ashamed tor us to see what he had to say about the game and hold our copy out of tli£ rnai s? Surely not. Always The Referee “Decatur’s Yellow, Jackets drubbed the Huntington Vikings on their own floor Friday evening, 47-31, and despite the difference in points, (he Huntington Press raises the usual hue and cry: ‘lt was the referee’ 'Will alihi\ never down?”—Rip Offs, Blufftop News. Field Goals—Five Years Ago “Two surprises occured in the Western Conference basketball race last night when Northwestern took Purdue into camp by a score of 19-17 and lowa defeated Michigan, 18-17. The Pin due five seems to be disapiiointing a number of followers."

Paging Mr. Blue Jay Dear Mark: After attending last Wednesday night’s game between the Commodores and Hartford, which was one of the most evenly contested games in the first half that I ever saw played in Decatur or any gym, 1 don't like the remark made by Mr. Dine Jay in Friday night’s copy of the Daily Dontoerat, in saying: ‘The Commodores had tough luck by the bushels and every time they shot, the ball rolled around the hoop a couple of times and then fell off on the outside, whereas the Hartford players had more luck than sense’. Does that sound like a sport? I gay NO. (live Hartford their just dues. .They just outplayed us. Come on Commodores, 1 am for you.” The Old Black Crow. Mr. Vick Gets A Rise % Mark M. Upp. Dear Bnllsh E. Vick: In answer to yours of Friday, the 13th. I would like to know myself why St. Joe does not get the support it deserves. Altho you have lost a few games this year, you have a five man team with a number of good “subs.” When you consistently get to going good, making your passes more accurately and playing a tigiiter defense there is no rea-on why the Commodores should not out-e'ass any team St. Joe had in former years. Relatives and friends of the boys! By your absence you show a lack of interest and loyally. Some say “I don’t care for basketimll,” but even so isn’t it laudable io try to get interested in the hoys' endeavor to win a game. Youtli hud bitter be interested in athletics than some other things not so praiseworthy, and should lie encouraged by your presence. Athletics help to make character in accepting defeats gracefully, taking apparently wrong decisions at times and holding their heads at a level when a ‘‘tripper’' or a rib “puncher” hands eni one. (Watch out Hockey you will loso the lans favor if jou don’t control yourself better on the floor). Athletics in away prepares youth for the big game of life, wherein defeats, knocks, dissapointments, etc., are met with in a much larger sense. Conte on fans, lets a'.l go for old St. Joe.
