UPP 01====== " ■■■■ Cash Keller, (Huntington Herald columnist if you don’t know it) mailed ns a copy of the Saturday edition of the Herald, after reading in our column that we failed to receive our copy. Thanks, Cash. Now we can pass on to our dear readers some of Cash’s sobbings, which resulted from the Yellow Jackets' decisive triumph over tha Vikings last Friday night. “Thoroughly Disgusted”’ “The Huntington-Decatur basketball game, if can call it (hat, left Huntington fans with a bad taste in their mouths. The Yellow Jackets came here with the reputation of having a strong team. They have. But the team is far from being sixteen points better than Huntington and the. Vikings proved that when they decided to play basketball for a few minutes and quickly came within three points of the Yellow' Jackets. Then the boys went back to sleep as far as teamwork was concerned and the victory was Decatur's for the taking. “Huntington finished the game with three players on the hardwood—and seven sitting dejectedly on the bench Four went out on personal fouls and the rest were either disqualified for conversing too freely with the officials or else had been substituted twice and hence were ineligible for further play. This wholesale disqualification may seem funny at first thought but we fear that high school basketball in Huntington is going to suffer as a result. Only a good, clean and hard-fought game against the Andrews Red Devils here next Friday can restore the morale which was shattered by the Decatur farce. "We're not going to criticize the crowd very harshly for the vocal explosions. since we had all we could do to sit still ourselves as the game turned into a parade of the Decatur players to the free throw line. We know that the officials were thoroughly honest in their efforts—but both men had best get some experience before attempting to handle any more big time games.”—Gash. We are fully convinced that if the Viings would endeavor to play basketball against our Yellow Jackets, instead of football, the said Yellow Jackets could win by a margin in excess of 16 points. After they saw that the Vikings were determined to rough It up, the Yellow Jackets took things easy and endeavored to avoid as many tackles as possible. As a result, their score didn't mount as rapidly as it might have. Probably, if die Vikings would play ball for forty minutes like they did for about three minutes in the second half, they would be a good bfill club, but certainly you can't call them a good team until they cu\ (heir foot-ball tactics and really play basketball. Yes, we are convinced the Yellow Jackets are more than 16 points better than the Vikings.

Public Opinion "Lebanon's coaches suspended eight members of the basketball team the other day. The charges were violations of training rules. An inquiring reporter in Lebanon asked twentycitizens their opinion on the matter and he reports that the fans are solid with the coach Boys will be boys and more power to coaches who insist upon being coaches in the face of such trials."—Mister Fox, Indianapolis News. The national Catholic intersc.holastic championship basketball tournament will be held at Loyola university, Chicago, March 21 to 25, the officials in charge have announced. Father Hession, athletic manager of Decatur Catholic, high, which has sent a team to the national meet each year for the last three years, has received a letter requesting data on the Commodores’ record this year. Father Hession also has received a letter from Elder high, Cincinnait, regarding two games with the Commodores for next year. One will be played here and one in Cincinnati. It is probable that the Commodores will play St. Xaviers high at Cincinnati on the same trip. Walter J. Bartlett, athletic director of Elder high, has the following to say about the Commodores and Coach Laurent:

He’s forgotten all about that game over at Bluffton, Saturday night, as the Tigesr don't rate a place in the list.

o— Notre Dame To Drop Army From Schedule If Rules Are Not Changed Washington. Jan. 18. — I(NS) — Asserting that the army i 3 confronted with the loss of Notre Dame on its football schedule, Rep. Britten (R) of Illinois, today made public a letter by Knute Rockne, the Irish coach, to substantiate his statement. The Rockne letter, written last March, was addressed both to West Point and Annapolis officials and asked whether the service schools observed the three-year rule. “I presume if we are to remain a member of the Indiana Intercollegiate Conference we will, after the present contracts have expired, be able to compete only with institutions that have the one-year freshman rule and tiie three-year rule,” Rocknc said. Britten declared that if West Point persists in its refusal to adopt the three-year rule, other universities will refuse to schedule Army games. Q South Bend, Ind.—Wabash college basketball team lost to Notre Dame 19-30.
