I A crowd of 2.500 people shoved and I pushed into every corner of the KenI Hallvlllc gymnasium watched the I l».al netmen play one of the most I brilliant games ever played by a De- ■ tstur team. ■ Many Decatui 1 Fans Prrsent ■ About 10b Decatur fans followed the ■ Jackets to the north and they cheerI ,-d hysterical')- as every Decatur play - ■ fought every second of the 40I minute drill. The Decatur defense ■ was impregnable during most of the I game and at times the local aggre- ■ gation unleashed an offense that rip- ■ pM the Kendallville defense to pieces. R The Jackets scored 22 times from the ■ field in 40 minutes, while the home ■ team managed to slip through 10 two- ■ pointers. R After a long wait, the big game got R underway at 9:15 o'clock. Rosen, R Kendallvi'le forward, broke loose for I the first basket of the evening about a minute after the game started and ; tie huge crowd rose to its feet and I fleered for several minutes. ShortI |f after Rosen's burst of speed toward the basket. Bob Hill, local forward receded a pass ftom Bill Bell and mowed through the opponents’ defense for the first Decatur marker. The Jackets then took turns at hit- ! ting the hoop, and with five minutes of the first half over, Decatur was leading 10-2. Kendallville took time out and came back with a burst of speed that carried them to a 13-10 lead over the Curtismen. Decatur took time out and when play was resumed Kendallville was busy the. rest of the gam? singing the swan song. The game was never close after the first lo minutes of the first half. Decatur broke through the home team defense at will and at the end of the first half was leading, 28-18. Kendallville, however, refused *to ?i'e up and came back in the second half defetermined to hold down the score. The Yellow Jackets, working nt machine-like fashion, ran the score to 43-19. Anaflell left the game on (our personal fouls and Reynolds *eut in for him. In a few minutes, wle was sent in for Gerber and ■erber succeeded Reynolds at the fioor guard position.

A report of the British embassy in Buenos Aires shows that "even hough the Argentines prefer the British goods, American salesmen are naking them Imy the American." The British share in tho total of Argentina's purchases was 23.61 per tent in 1924. The United States’ share at that time was 23 per cent. In 1926 tho British share was 19.5 ind the American 25.5 per cent. Last year the British sold less than 300 autos in Argentina while America .sold close to 50,000. The Argentine j markets for agricultural machinery ; ind for cotton goods also belong to America. The British have two strongholds in Argentine trade.

NOW LAUGH THAT OFF. The Yellow Jackets' 20-polnt victory over the Kendallville Red Devi's, ! with one all-state man in their line up, and on the Kendallville floor, is the most impressive accomplishment turned in In northern Indiana last night. The Yellow Jackets stopped Prentice like a derail stops a locomotive last nigh'. Bill Bell drew the unpopular assignment of watching the G mble prize winner and Bill did a mighty creditable job. Incidentally Bill found time to cage five field gdaJs while holding "Tack" to three two-pointers. Kendallville fans and players took '.heir defeat nice'y. It went down hard, we know, as it was the first loss on the home floor this season and 'ne of the worst drubbings a Kendallville team has received anywhere or a long time. “Your team is plenty good,” remarked the conductor of the column, "The Score board," in the Kendallville News-Sun, whom we had | the pleasure of meeting last night. i Kendallville has a ball club that Is ! ar above the averaga in this part if the state and that fact makes the Yellow Jackets' victory all the more mpreseive. Bluffton fans and sport writers will ■tow please observe a few moments of silence. The Commodores upheld the repuatlon of Decatur and Indiana basket- | ball very creditably again last night, ri trouncing the Bellevue, Ohio, Cathilics, 25-13-Coach Laurent used three substirites during the first quarter of the game at Bellevue and that lineup j nanaged to outscore the Buckeyes, ! ! 1-2. Knute Rockne isn’t the only one , who can use the “shock troops'” to j idvantage. Berne’s Fighting Five came back vith a wallop last night. A victory I iver Kirkland is just about as sweet i morsel as the Johnsonites would j vant, too. — breaking oi revenge, Jefferson sure . tot plenty last night in the game vith Monroe. Monroe, you remem>er, downed Jeff by one point in an overtime game a few weeks ago. Last iigh», Jeff handed Monroe an 18-potnt l rubbing. Bluffton’s varsity Red looked rath- , ?r pink after the Hartford Gorillas ! 'nt through with them last, night. STEALING AUTOS IS COMMONEST FORM OF JUVENILE CRIMES By International News Service Denver. — Stealing automobiles and | accessories is the most common I juvenile crime brought to tbe atteni ion of the Denver juvenile court, according to statistics issued here toiay, and boys are by far the main offender. During the past six months there have been 144 cases of all kinds filed against boys, while the number of girls facing the juvenile court officially was 78. Four hundred and two cases of infractions by boys were investigated but no official record made, while the unofficial investigation of cases involving girls where no record was made numbered 112. Tbe statistics disclosed that 139 charges of contributing to tbe dependency of legitimate children, because of failure to support them, were filed against fathers, and six similar charges against mothers, while only one charge was tiled in the 'nterest of a child born out of wedock—that against a man. Judge Robert AT. Steele, who was •eeeutly appointed to the juvenile bench after Ben B. Lindsey was ousted, apparently, does not believe In marriage annulment. Only two marriages were annnled during tbe past tlx moatb. Tbe juvenile court bas six minor | boys before it ou charges of violating ’he prohibition laws, while the girls steered clear of tbe Volstead law entirely. »- ■■ ■- o-— —— King George Has A Dignified Parrot Loudon. —(UP)—Buckingham Faltce, besides being the reaideuce of King George, is inhabited by Charlotte, tbe Klug's parrot This fact was only recently revealed to tfie public.

Here's hoping they rout that rid Fort Wayne jinx good and proper tonight. I Field Goals—Five Years Ago Jan. 22—Noblesville high school's basketbal| team proved to be no match for the D.H.S. tossers in tho game here Saturday night and the locals won, 28-9. A Wild Guess Dear Mark: Yell Leader is goofy. Any team that would bent C C. H. S. 55-25 wouldn’t be p aying basketball — it would be working miracles. The Commodores will beat them by playing 40 minutes of basketball and my guess is. Commodores, 35; C.C.H.S., 28. No team will run away with C.C., but the Commodores will beat them. Plato. Decatur had at least 100 rooters at Kendallville last night, but no yell ! leader. We hereby make a motion that hereafter provision is made to get the ye.l leader to all games tho same as members of the team. Hot chocolate was served to members of the two teams following the game at Kendallville hy the Kendallville school last night. Hot stuff. Tbe A.B.C. bus line will furnish transportation to Fort Wayne and back for all fans who want to go to the Commodores’ gam > with C.C.H.S. next Friday night, if reservations are made with Mr. Rice at the Murray Hotel, by nocn, Friday, January 27.
