GENEVA UPSET BY MONMOUTH Eagles Soar High To Score 28-23 Victory Over Cardinals .Monmouth high school's Eagles flapped their wings and scared t > new heights last night, so high in fatt. that the Geneva high school Cardinals were tillable to reach them. The final score of the basketball game between the two teams, phiyed in the Decatur high school gymnasium last night was 2823, with Monmouth on top. Monmouth's victory, although well earned ami deserved, was generally considered an U|»set. Geneva recently scored a 41,22 victory over Monroe, a team that had downed Mcnmouth 45 23. Hut Coach Gerke's Eagles have made up their minds to play basketball recently and they turned in their best perfotmance of the season last night. He it said for Geneva, the Cardinals were forcd to play the game lastapight without the services of their regular center, Stahly. The big pivot man met with an accident yesterday morning, which resulted in a broken thumb. He attempted to "hop" a I ide on the running board of an automobile and when his hold slipped, he fell to the ground ami one wheel of the ear ran over his thumb, breaking it near the first joint lie will probably be out of the lineup for the rest of the season. Geneva started out strong last night ami jumped into a 11-1 lead. Then, something seemed t> happen for Monmouth's scoie liegan to mount and the margin separating the two teams grew smaller. However, the Cardinals were out in front at the half. 19-12. Hawbaker, playing center in Stahly’s palce, had scored six field goals during the petiod to give his team its apparently comfot table lead. Shortly after the sec. nd half opened, Monmouth tied the score at 19-all and then went ahead, 23-19. Geneva rallied long enough to score f.ur points on a field goal by Brown ami two free thtcws by Hawbaker and tie the score, but the Eagles again forged ahead, this time not to be caught a gain. During the second half, Monmouth had possession of the hall considerably m re than half of the time. Hoerger, at center, gave the ball to his teammates on the tipoff consistently. Hill and Parrish, Monmouth's pony forwards, dodged, diihbled and passed their way around the larger Geneva guards for several short shots at the basket, while Hoerger ami Brokaw the big boys cn the monmouth team, broke up play after play under the Geneva basket. Brokaw tossed in four beautiful baskets, also. Heed and Rice al Initiated at one guard position. Coach Reeves, of Geneva, made several substitutions in an effort to revive his faltering Cardinals, but to no avail. Only a small crowd saw the game.

Dr. Peltzer To Run In Chicago Tonight I Chicago. Feb. 10.— (I'P) Dr. Otto Peltzer, Gernmn middle distance star, makes his first appearance in Chicago tonight and It seemed probable his Hist race here would lake the form of an old-fashioned "grudge fight." Peltzer’s opponent in this predicted "grudge race” will he Ray Dodge of Chicago, who recently charged the Get man bumped him when they ran in the Millrose* games at New York a week ago. Peltzir won that race. Dodge's charge of “unfairness" and Peltzer’s denial combined to serve as ballyhoo lot the Illinois Ath'etic club games tonight. — ... o — FIELD GOALS By MARK M. UPP ■====. ■ ■ The Commodores engage the Irish fleet here tonight. Weigh anchor, gang, weigh anchor. And the Yellow Jackets will try their stingers on the tin plate boys at Elwood. It will take some sharp sting- . ers to get results, but the Cntrismen ’ went prepared. The Monmouth Eagles sure flapped their wings last night. They played ’ good ball and Lady Luck was with them at curtail moments. Their vic tory was well-earned. The Monmouth eagers will play the Kirkland second team at Kirkland Saturday night, as a preliminary to the Kit kland-Commcdores game. The Daily Democrat has made arrangements to receive the score of the Decatur-Elwood game at Elwood tonight, after the game is over but It will be 10:15 or later, very probably later before the score is received. You are invited ta call the Daily Demo c.at, but please don't call before 10:1" o’clock at the earliest. The Ossian-Berne game, scheduled to be played at Berne tonight, v-m- --< incelled by the Ossian officials, who claimed that they were disatisfied with Mr. Kreigh, of Huntington, who had been hired to referee the game. The Berne i fficials tried to obtain atiotli er referee, but found that all capable officials were engaged. It may and it may net have any bearing on the action of the Ossian officials in cancell ing the game, but it is an interesting coincidence that two members ol the Ossian team were expelled from school the first of this week for playing hookey ami tltey are still out of school. Kangaroos Are Prepared Dear Mark: After a brief rest Monday, the Kangaroos started strenoupractice in preparation for the fracas with the Commodores, which takes place at Kirkland, Saturday eve. Coach Bryan is working his men hard to get them in trim tor this battle The Kangaroos have been working their scoring machine rather rapidly, and, with Heller back in the lineup they shculd have a stronger defense. Stock dropped a notch or two w'.ier. Bowman wrenched h.s back and Meyers turned his ankle in practice Tuesday. Even these two injuries have not greatly affected the fighting spirit ol the team, it is thought that Meyerswill be able to play Saturday, but Bowman is still under a physician’s care. Some of the second team mater ial is being worked into the lineup nicely. In any event, we're predicting the Kangaro.s will give them a teal battle and they have not desired to "postpone the game because of injuries" Barneo H Kirkland Still On Map Dear Matk: We notice that the De I catur Qutholic high school has been | turning out some high class victories. Also, tltey have heaien Kirkland on the Decatur floor. Saturday night, decides another contest between them. Some pt edict and dope it -out as a decision like the last one. We admit our luck uas been rather tough and as a result we don't aim to get beaten again and on our own floor. We- are going to give them a. dec.sive galloping and let folks know we are still cn the map. Here is our best wishes to poor I). C. H. S. Come on, Kirkland; Let's show them what we are made of. Barneo." Central School Team To Play At Garrett Tonight - Coach Bryce Thomas will take bis Centtal school eighth grade basketball , team to Garrett tonight to play a re- . turn game with the Garrett eighth , graders. Central’s blue clad warriors defeated Garrett in a game played here ■ several weeks ago, by a top-heavy I score. i •

BUB TAYLOR KNOCKEUOUT Hoosier Fighter Knocked Out For First Time In Career By Sangor 1 Chicago, Feb. 10. — (INS) Joey Sangor, Milwaukie leatherweight, will be wailing with interest tonight for a Hash on lite result of the Benny Bass-Tony Canzonet! . hamplonship ' mutch in New Yotk. Out of that fight, Sangor believes, will come the man he must bent for the featherweight championship of the world. I Sangor today finds himself in the role of "outstanding challenger" by virture of his senational victory last night over Bud Taylor, world’s bant amweight champion, in the ten-round main event of Sint Mullen's coliseum show. The Cream City mauler stopped Taylor in the seventh round of jue of the geratest fights ever seen in Chicago. Ten thousand fans got the thrill of ■ heir lives in that dizzy seventh round. It was the first time Taylor was knocked out in his long career. His bantamweight crown was not at stake. But to say the Hoosier was "knocked out" and not “fouled," only starts an at gument that will echo as long as ;he scenes of that unusual seventh round linger in the memory of local ans. The officials, however, ruled the blow that felled Taylor was ‘fair,” and save for purposes of argument, that de i.don stands. Referee Phil Collins declared the blow was fair, as he saw it. Edward Kline, one of the judges, said the blow was on the "belt line." The othar judge, E. L. Cook, said his view of the disputed punch was obstructed. Later Di. Russell declared there was no evidence that Taylor had been fouled. Up to the sixth round, both men fought, in clean open style. They .ought hard, but Sangor was away ihead on points. The latter outweighs 3 Taylor by five pounds, Sangor weighing 126 and Taylor 121. FRANK L. SMITH MAKES NEW MOVE Illinois Senator-Elect Resigns And Is Appointed; Plans To Run Again Springfield, ill.. Feb. 10—(INS)— T'.,e Status of Frank L. Smith, elected to the United States senate by the people of Illinois only to be'barred by that body, changed over night from "Senator elect" to "Senatoi-Designate.” As the result of two strategic moves, aimed at the Senate's refusal to accept Illinois' duly elected member, Smith today finds himself with a commission firm Governor Lett Small to fill out the unexpired term to which he (Smith) was elected. This unusual situation was made possible last night when Smth tendered his resignation as senator-elect. Governor Small immediately appointed him to serve the unexpired term and issued a proclamation calling for a United States primary Cpril 10 and a sen itoi;ial election in November.
