DECATUR TEAMS IN ACTION FRIDAY Yellow Jacket* Go To Kendallville; Commodores To Bellevue, Ohio Both Decatut high school basketball teams will hit the road for games this week end. The public high school Yellow Jackets will go to Kendallville Friday night for a conference game with the Kendallville Bed Devils. Kendallville, with one allstate player in the lineup, has one of the strongest teams in the history of the city. Prentice, who won the Gimlde price and was picked as floor guard on practically every all-state selection last spring. Is the chief cog in the Ited Devils’ quintet this season. De is ably supported by four other stellar performers. Several fans will accompany the Yellow Jackets to Kendallville. The game wil start at S o'clock. No tickets were sent here, but a section of seats will be reserved for Decatur fans. The Kendallville gym will accomodate more than 2.500 fans and has never been completely filled, except for tourney games, it is said. The Catholic high school Commo dores will go to Bellevue. Ohio, for a game with the Catholic high eagers of that city, Friday night. Bellevue always turns out a fast outfit, and the Commodores have met stiff opposition from the Buckeyes each year recently. Owing to the great distance of Bellevue from Decatur, few fans are expected to accompany the team. . On Saturday night, the Yellow Jack ets will go to Fort Wayne for a game with Coach Mark Bills' North Side quintet. The second team from the two schools will play the curtain-raiser. Although the North Side team has had a disastrous season so far. the team has been showing gradual improvement and the Yellow Jackets are not expecting a set up. Several fans will go to Fort Wayne for the game. ______——-Q By MARK M. UPP Decatur fans who do not follow the Yellow Jackets to Kendallville or the Commodores to Bellevue, Ohio, Friday night can't go wrong on witnessing, the Monroe-Jefferson contest in the D. 11. S. gym. These same teams play ed an overtime contest at Berne, re cently, Monroe winning, 34-33. Bluffton appears to have taken t. little of the cockiness out of the Kendallville sports scribed. So far this week, there hasn’t been a line in the News-Sun about the Decatur-Kendall ville clash at Kendallville Friday night. We're beginning to believe that northern Indiana teams are going to make a far better showing in the state tourney this year tha never before The few teams from the central and southern part of the state that have ventured into the northland this season haven't ton: d the go ng as smooth as in former y ar Word has been received from faroff Vermont, that Art Wemhoff's Northfield high school team won another game Friday night. Northfield defeated St. Michaels, of .Montpelier, Vt.. 31-15. Art, the f rmer Comodore. didn't say how many points he con tributed to the score. That Football Shift “A general shift of positions has been made on the Huntington high school sqnad this week by Coach Paul Kriegbaum, who has sent Capt. Petre back to his old position at floorguard, with the lanky Welch and the speedy Enyeart teaming at the forward positions." —Huntington Herald. Coach Mark Bills, of Fort Wayne Nori it Side, has suspended Penrod and Koenig, two regulars, for failure to train. On 3 racmber of the Yellow Jacket Varsity rquad was demoted to the seeo.nl quid by Coach Curtis this week, because the said player did not adhe.e close enough to tialning rules.

None Too Bright "Wells County's chances for a regional win this year were certainly none too bright at the start of the season, but we can't say that now. No sir! Looks right now like the winners at Decatur, Fort Wayne an dWarsaw were due for a battle from the Bluffton sectional camps" Out of Boutfds, Bluffton Banner. As Coach Hays of the Indiana track tea mexpressed it the other day—"its u fine thing to support u winning team

it's a wonderful thing to cheer n| losi-i.” —Abserviti!’ 'Em Mallon Leader Ttibune. Disgraceful Action ■ Columbus downed Bedfold at the latter place last Saturday night by the count of lift 34, after leading 3415 at the half. In the final period. Referee " Jensen fouled the Bedfold hack goard, and the Stone city fans started a howl that would not quiet. Supt. Abbott tried to peclfy them, and then I In turn, Pt Incipul Julian and Coach 1 Ivey' tried, but to no avail. In the I meantime Referee Jensen hail hung four technical fouls on the crowd for their conduct and finally he walked to the bench and sat down. At last the crowd calmed somewhat and the game went on. Mary Beth Plummer, who writes Follow-Ups for tile Bedford Daily Mail, has much to say on the subject, and we are giving you some of them: “This is a most difficult situation. It is the first time in our experience, as columnist or otherwise, that we have found it necessary to apologize for our home town. “Until Saturday night we had always believed that regardless of the fact that we've never won u state championship, basketball here is 'bigger and better'; tliat the ‘fine spirit' of which Merle Abbott speaks was an actual fact; that, therefore, theie was glory in defeat. “We still have the defeat, but the fans have taken away the glory. “For a little junction or backwoods center, unacquainte dwith the sport, boosting basketball f. r their first season. ignorant of Ihsaa's authority and that of his officials, the behavior of seme of Saturday night's fans would have been conceivable. For Bedford. It was inc mceivable and unforgivable. “Two years ago, when we played Frankfort, the fans distinguished themselves in the same manner, it was more negligible, because the stall was new’ to us. But the matter of sportsmanship is not new to us. We have been told, an dtold, and told. This offense is far more serious because it was a protest against the majesty cf the law, - repiesented by Uliarley Jensen. We were just beginning to live down our last disgrace, and as the hee-haws die down all over the state we evoke more. “The Bedford team has ’o<-» ’ games this year. But they have sever been laughed at. That S hIlHc .. can say of the Bedford fans. "A verse to Bedford With their ‘boos'; The fans can win But can nt lose. Field Coals—Five Years Ago "Jan. 11l Disregaiding the fact that the Bluffton and Decatur high schools have severed relations, the Bluffton schoci will enter the basketball tournament which is to be played in Decatur under the rules of the I. H. S. A. A. At least Bluffton will enter the tournament and trust to luck that she is not scheduled to meet the Decatur team in any of the contests. By Bunyard Ripling Ship us somewhere east of this state, Where the best is like the worst; And their ain't no Big Ten Selections To fill our soul with mirth. —The Sport Van, Newcastle Times. — o — Monmouth And Decatur Seconds Meet This Afterno The Decatur high school second team and the Monmouth high school varsity are scheduled to meet in a basketball game in the Decatur high gym at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The game was originally scheduled for Friday night, but owing to the fact that games between the Mm roe and Jefferson high schfJbl first and second teams are scheduled to lie played in tlie D. H. S. gym Friday night, it was decided last night to change the Mon-mouth-Decatur Seconds game to th s afternoon. There will be no preliminary. o Black fiiold. One Time Derby Winner, Is Killed New Orleans, La„ Jan. 19.—(UP)— Black Gold, the little dark horse that thrilled 75,000 people at Churchill Downs in 1924 whe nhe won a Ken--1 tucky Derby, has passed on.

Emery was thrown over his head. Black Gold got up, one leg dangling,

and tried to go with the rest of the field. He fell and tried again. The ’ast time he failed to get up. A few I minutes later he was shot. —— -oThom Throws Young Texan T.-afayette, Ind., Jan. 19. — (UP) Coach W. H.
