Butler, was closely contested in the I first half, hut Butler managed to get • fi ee In the second half often enough to score ten point* to Indiana’s four, and won 18 to 10. Both teams started out with a strong defense. The score, at the rest i period was 6 8 in Butler’s favor.

The Buckeyes tumbled the Northwestern Wild Cats from the top rung last night, 43-38. We have a hunch that the Wild Cats are destined to lose more ball games before the end of the season. The headliner on tonight’. baskeU ball card, as far as Ind.ana basketball is concerned, is the Logansport, Muncie battle at Muncie. “The Decatur Yellow Jackets, fresh from a series of lop sided victories over such schools as Bluffton, Huntington. North Manchester, Central and Aubyrn, will come bulling Into the high school gym, tomorrow- evening at 8:30 prepared to sting the Red Devils Into another conference defeat But the Red Devils will meet the sharp stings of the visit ng team with

1 equally keen weapons, and the gams, with the assistance of a good official Lttndy Welburn of South Side should be a real thriller. The Stanleymen have put In a week of hard work, and their first conference defeat by Bluff- | ton should give the rad-clads all the 1 fight that they may need aga'n.t the down-state lads." —Kendallville NewsSun. The Jackets haven’t played North Manchester, and Central won from the locals, but Angola, Syracuse and Delphi could be substituted. Just a Suggestion ‘‘lt might not be out of place to suggest that some officials also take the I time to find out what is between the I two covers of the rulqjr:ok. We have long suspected that if certain offlc als were forced to <ake an examination on what is actually in the rules they might flunk out. This was demonstrated in the South Side-Central game at Fort Wayne this week when a South Side player scored two field goals before the scorekeeper could attract the attention of the referee the fact that the boy ha dfour personal fouls. The official announce dthat the two field goals did not count. However the rule book very clearly provider that points scored under such circum stances shall count and if the ref®*'' had even happened to have read the regulations he could not nave ne.pvi but have been aware of that fact —Fan Whiffs, Huntington Herald. Good-Bye Bluffton Dear Mark: Bluffton, in her own er thnation, has won the I ttle affair ye. to be staged at the cow barn, but Bluffton always did reverse the true order of things and do the shouting first. We will admit that they have improved in the last two weeks, but with all this much talked of improvement, the Yellow Jackets still have them safely outclassed. The Bluffton game br ngs pep and enthusiasm that it always has and always will bring to every D. H. S. fan. We believe and know that our team wil Iplay as clean and as sportsmanlike as ever in Its history and that the fans wil respond in the same manner. Sincerely. “WE” Field Goals —Five Years Ago "Jan. 20 —Monroe won another victory over a team in this district when they took Lancaster into camp at Lancaster last night by a score of 1814.” 1
