COMMODORES WIN ANOTHER Catholic High Cagers Defeat International College, 31 To 19 Ooarh Laurent's Catholic high Commodores added another victory to their string last night when they upset the International College quintet of Fort Wayne, in a well played and interesting game ‘on the local court. 31-19. Only a fair sized crowd of fans saw the game, and about half of those present followed the college team to this city. The visitors brought their band with them and It gave a concert uptown before the game, besides playing several selections at the gymnasium. The band, which is a very creditable organization, pepped things up. Jonas Triteh, principal of the International College, who was connected with the Decatur schools for many years, accompanied the team to Decatur last night. The game started out with each team playing an airtight defensive game. So close was the guarding that the game had progressed six or eight minutes before either team scored. The Commodores scored first on a free throw and then the visitors took the load on a field goal. The Commodores then tied the score and forged ahead, never to he headed during the remainder of the game. At the end of the half, the Commies were leading, 16-8. The visitors staged a spirited rally at the start of the second half and dosed up the gap in the score to three points, 17-14. The Commodores halted the rally, however, and soon pulled away to a good lead. The Mylott brothers again led in the scoring for the Commodores, Ilocky getting five field goals and two free throws, and his brother l’ete sinking four field goals and two free throws. Cass, who was not feeling in the best of condition last night, managed to sink three field goals and a free throw. Coach Laurent did not sTurt Wemhoff. regular center, who had received a "shot” in the arm to ward off a cold, but sent him ir. when the first half was about half gone. Hutchinson, forward, was the chief scorer for the visitors, getting five field goals and two free throws. Alonzo Smith, former member of the Kirkland high school team, played part of the second half for the college team, relieving Hayes, at center. The Commodores will play the Anderson Catholic high school team in a return game here Thursday night. In view of the fact that the Anderson team is one of the four quintets to defeat the Commodores so far this season, a great Hattie is expected Thursday night. In the preliminary game last night, the St. Joe eighth grade team defeated a pick-up team, 22-18. Lineups and summary: Commodores (31) I. B. C. (19 (lass F Ruck Miller F Hutchinson J.

EXPECT CROWD AT ANDERSON CAME Catholic High School Plans To Entertain Big Crowd Thursday Night Preparations aie being made to handle one of those old-fashiune 1 bumper crowds when the Anderson Catholic high school basketball team invades Decatur Thursday night for a return game with the local Catholic high school Commodores. The Commodores victory over ('. C. 11. S. of Fort Wayne, and the latter's victory over Cathedral of Indianapolis, the following night, leaves Amterson and the Commodores tlie best stanidng among the Catholic high schols of tho state. Anderson defeated Richmond and Shelbyville. Tlie defeat which the Anderson team handed the Commodores at Anderson earlier in the season is the only one suffered by the Commodores at the hands of another Indiana Catholic quintet this season. The locals will he out to even that count and by proving their superiority over Anderson gain first place among the Catholic teams of the state Not An Easy Task The Commodores will have a mansized job on their hands to down the Anderson team, as the visotors will bring a well-balanced five, led by Casey, a sharpshooter of the Red Meyer type. The Anderson victory over the Commodores at Anderson was a cleancut affair, but by Casey's basket eye and a cleaver delay offense played almost to perfection, i nthe closing minutes of the game. Andersen fans are expecting their team to repeat here and wil follow it in force to Decatur. Mr. Homes, the secretary of the Indiana Catholic high school association, has sent word to expect more than a hundred fans from Anderson. The seats wil lnot lie reserved, hwever, expect for season ticket holders and extra benches will he placed around the floor, if necessary Pat Hyland, who handled the game with International College in a praiseworthy manner last night, and “Gunner” Elliott, of Fort Wayne, will officiate here Thursday night. o — Dr. Fibiger, Authority On Cancer, Dies Today London, Feb.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, FEBRI AR\ I,l°-**

! FIELD GOALS By MARK M. UPP ' ** Bliiffton school officials called Walter Krick. principal of Decatur high school, last night, requesting that the game between the Tigers and Yellow Jackets, scheduled to he played here Friday night, lie postponed, because of the illness of two Bliiffton players. After considering the request over night, Mr. Krick decided that it would not lie feasible to postpone the contest. The Yellow Jackets have two games scheduled for next week-end and two for the following week-end. Furthermore, Die Bliiffton team probably will lie in no worse condition, physlcnllV. Friday night then the the Yellow Jackets, as Joe Krick, regular guard, is In lied nursing a cold today and Chet Reynolds, forward, is considerably under the weather, due to same affliction. The Bliiffton officials stated that Ritchie and Stevens were sick and that Croslde, center, is crippled due to an injury to one of his heals suffered in the game against Fort Wayne Central, Saturday night. it looked for several minutes at the start of the Commodores’ game with International College last night the scorekeeper was getting his money under false pretense, so close was the guarding. However, Die Commodores got going before the half was over and the scorekeeper earned his seat after all. We don’t know who was the gniPy party, but whoever was ringing that bell while the International College hand was playing in the gym last night was very discourteous, to say the least The noise cf tho bell did everything else but liarmoi fze with the band music. Speaking of mechanically made noise at basketball games, the South Side rooters at the South Side-Central game in Fort Wayne, recently, brought several dozen "horse-fiddles” to the game and during the early part of the ovening created an awful din which grew very alloying as the preliminary game progressed. Before the start of Die main game, the South Side yell leader took the floor and requested that all of the mechanical noise-mak-ing devices ho silenced, stating that it was a rule of the I. 11. S. A. A. that mechanical noise-making devices lie barred from games. We like to hear fans yell, clap their hands and cheer their team as loud as they can, and nobody likeo to give vent to his enthusiasm, vocally, better than yours truly but horns, hells, whistles and other such devices are annoying, besides in terfering greatly with the signalling devices of the officials, timers and storekeepers. This game between the Commodores and Anderson here tomorrow night has all the earmarks of a real battle. Lets avenge that defeat Commodores.
