FIELDGOALS * By MARK M. UPP The Geneva Cardinals sang out of turn Tuesday night and played a game that wasn’t on the schedule. They sang loudly, too, as they handed the Wren. Ohio, high school quintet a Cl-4 trouncing on the Berne floor. In the preliminary game, the Geneva second learn defeated the Wren seconds. 28-6. Thus did Ohio learn mon- about basketball from Indiana. A real scrap is billed for tonight in the Catholic school gym when St. Mary's high of Anderson invades the pay house of the Commodores. We have a hunch that the fellow who g(«s early is going to be a lot surer of a seat than the one who hesitates. Bertie’s Fighting Five is preparing for the invasion by the Garrett quintet. Friday night. The Johnsonites have a good chance of chalking up a win. Monroe went through a lengthy woikottt in the DH.S. gym last night in preparation for t'ae game with Kirkland, on the latter’s floor tomorrow night. The Hartford Gorillas will endeavor to make it two straight over the Lancaster Bob Cats tomorrow night, on the Lancaster floor Geneva takes on another Ohio quintet Friday night, the Cardinals being booked to appear at Celina. Sing ’em to sleep Cardinals. I’o ingtown, <?f Jay county, invades Adams county again Saturday night, this time to p'.ay Jefferson on the Herne floor. Monmouth will make a supreme effort to win a game Friday night, and if successful, Hoagland will be the goat. Crosbis Is Out, Says Rip Offs "That the Bluffton Tigers have a crippled team is evidenced by the fact that the Tiger high school authorities tried to have the game scheduled t.i be staged at Decatur Friday evening postponed until Feb. 25. Since the Decatur management had gone ahead with arrangements, they insisted that the ti’.t be run off regardless and so it shall be. Crosble and Stevens are handicapped by injuries while Swigert and Richey are on the sick list. There is no chance of Crosble lieing able to take part in the Decatur battle since he is hobbling around on crutches with a bad heel. Chances are that at least one out of the other three will not be in condition for playing. Despite this tearing up of the Tiger iiuintvt, the Ye’.low Jackets are going to get their hottest entertainment of the season.”- — Rip Offs, Pluffton News. Louie Has His Hands Full "Coach Louis Means is facing a strenuous task this week in trying to dovelop a team Jo play at Decatur Friday night. Three regulars have been unable to practice at all this week and Stevens, first string man, la unable to use his right hand in handling the b”l'. Crosble, regular center for three want, will not be abe to appear in a suit, due to an injured ankle received in the Fort Wayne Central roughhouse last Saturday. It is dou'.ted if Crosble will be able to play before the sectional tourney. Richey and Swigert. regulars. both have heavy colds and are threatened with tonsilitis and may not be in condition for the game Friday. Means will be forced to use some of the Red team material on his first siring Friday night. Efforts were made Tuesday by Coach "loans and Superintendent O. AL Craig to have Friday's game postponed until later in the seasen. Decatur < fliciuis refused to consider the postmoment although the local men offered to play the game any time convenient for the Yellow Jackets." —Bluffton Banner. Alibi Prepared "On the eve of the much talked-of lee it nr Bluffton game comes the sad news that t'rosbie, pivot man for the • p mainstay.of their team, wi 1 be out of the game. It seems -- -i Tigers met Tigers at Fort W:.y"<* last week quite a battle remt li d. and in the rush the poor boy fractured some bones in his heel. Now- -if the Tigers do claw up the Yellow Jackets, there will be just lots of talk; but if they should be stung—well—they have a nico alibi." The Scoreboard .Kendallville, NewsSun. Sic ’em, Airdales "The average sport scribe seer, plenty of basketball games and teams —we've probably seen a few thousand of both in the last ten years or so, but we’ll hand the prize to this Hartford City bunch for being the worst we've ever seen. Up

to Saturday we'd hnve deemed it Im poasib'n for live men to play as badly “I <ne time as the Airdales did against Daleville. Lots of heel bui that’s all. Just how Hartford t’lly held Daleville lo one point will [always be one of the mysteries of the season." Muncie Press. Whoa, Now! Repeat That. "Ontnes now the unbelievable story that in th-- Columbus-Vincennes game Friday night, with two minutes to go. Columbus had a one-point margin on Vincennes and in two minutes Columbus scored 20 points. Yep. Coach McCullough of the Shelbyville team gave us this information." "Casual Comment" in the Bloomington World. A Bear For Punishment "Deke Noble of the Kokomo Tribune has been on the verge of apoplexy since the Wildcats lost t i Marion and Muncie, and hitter are the accusations and many are the weeps in his recent writeups. The author of 'Pop Vialve’ may go so far as to annihilate his entire learn if the Kats lose to Newcastle this week, ami if that comes to pass wo are going over to Kokomo and plead with the judge to refrain from invoking the deatii penalty.

But Turkey, it seems has umbltlona of an iilliletle nature in collection with the forthcoming Olympic Games. Th»» Turk is not a runn«»r. >y nature, nor is he gifted in the mutter of leaping high or far or tossing weights abQUt. He skates not. neither can he ski. but at soccer football the Turk Is not so bad. Accordingly. Turkey is pinning its hopes of athletic triumph in the Ninth Olympiad upon the success of its foot-, ball team. We have word from Aug ra that a Turkish team, with reserves already has gone into strict training. “No Turkish paste or hookah smoking. and lights out in the harem al 10 p. nt." are the orders issued by the head coach. The Turkish learn Is go ng lo Bra gue in March to play a series of mat- 1 ches against the best Czei ho-Slova-kian chibs. The Czechs will give the Turks a g oil work-out for soccer lootball is well played in the vicinity of Parque. Aftei the matches in Czecho-Slova-kia, the Turkish team will go to Amsterdam to become acclimated before the Olympic contests which start August 12. Interest in the Ninth Olympiad at present is focussed upon the second Olympic winter games at St. Moritz. A plan is on foot to make these wintei sports the basis if medical and scientific examination. Medical authorities from Germany Holland and Poland will cooperate with Professor loewy. director of the Swiss Alpine Institute, in examining the skaters, ski-runners and hockey players before and inter their exertions. A large hut designed for the purpose has been erected near the finish line. A weighing, and measuring depart-' ment is being established, whereby the competitors’ bodies can be studied, as well as the relationship of various countries to anthropological Vategories
