VIKINGS CANCEL GAME WITH D.H.S. Too Many Games Scheduled Is Reason Given By Huntington Officials The basketball game between the I>H(Htnr nigh school Yellow Jackets and the Huntington Vikings, schedule <1 to bo played here on Friday night, February 24, has been canceded by the Huntington school officials, according to a letter received this morning by Walter J. Krick, principal of Decatur high school. The lluntingy'in. officials cancelled the game wit.ii Decatur and a game s< hedu'ed with Fairmount high school t> be played at Fairmount' next Friday night, because the Huntington schedule included 22 games and the rules of the Indiana High School Athletic Association states that no team can play more than 20 games in one season. The Huntington team has played 19 games to date and games with Decatur, Fairmount and Bluffton remained on the schedule. The game with Bluffton, at Huntington, next Saturday night, will end the schedule for the Vikings. Violation of Rules Huntington officials communicated with A. L. Trestei, permanent secretary of the Indiana High School Athletic association, on tire subject and he replied that a twenty-two game schedule, althiugh no individual player was used in more than twenty contests. was a direct violation of the association’s ruling. Mr. Krick stated today that he will endeavor to schedule another game to fill in the date on the Yellow Jackets' home schedule left open by Huntington's cancellation. He said he would communicate with the Fairmount school officials in an e!£prt to get the Quakers here for a game on Feb 24. Fairmount has a strong team this season and it is believed that the appearance of the Quakers here would please local fans. Owing to the fact that the season is prae-| tieally completed, very few teams 1 now have open dates, and practically all of them have their limit oi twenty games scheduled. I’nless another game can be schedil ed, the Yellow- Jackets* schedule will be ended here next Saturday night, with the Portland game. The cancellation by Huntington gives Decatur another victory- and Huntington another defeat in the ' Norjheas’ern Indiana high school conference. since tile Yellow Jackets defeat’d the Vikings at Huntington several weeks ago, 47-31. and that game will now count in the standing. The conference rules state that when two conference teams meet in two games during the season, only the second game will count in the .standing and, therefore, the game played at Huntington has not been counted in the standing. | The Yellow Jackets wiU go to l Columbia City on Friday night and meet Portland here Saturday night. ' National Amateur Baseball tournament Being Planned Chicago, Feb. 15.— (INS) — Plans! for a national amateur baseball I tournament to stimulate greater interest in Americas favorite pastime,) were being perfected today in the of- < flees of Commissioner Kenesaw M. 1 Landis.

FIELD GOALS By MARK M. UPP <l= Huntington cancelled the games with Decatur and Fairmount to comply with tint I.U.S.A.A. 20-game rule, but It, was also n fine way to prevent two more disasters in a very disastrous reason for the Vikings. Anyway, the eunedlliitjon gives Decatur another victory anil Huntington another detent in the Northeastern conference standing Dccnt.'iir new is credit'll wltii live vi< torles and three defeats. The Vikings have lost t.biee and will TRY to win ONI'J, Saturday night. “It Couldn’t Be Helped" 'The (.■mediation of the Huntington games with Fairmount ami Decatur will probably be greeted with much mat king by scribes at Marion and Decatur, but the scriveners will just have to growl. It couldn't bo helped. The way we understand it. the situation has come to the place where Huntington either had to cancel the two games or else be preparad to face charges brought before the I.ILS.A.A. board of control by certain parties.” (’ash Keller. Huntington Herald. The Huntington management was very careful in making the cancellation to avoid cheating their homo fans out of any games, but showed little regard for the Fairmount and Decautr home schedules, where season tickets had been sold for a certain number of games. While on the subject of Huntington, an interesting coincident in the Vikings “wonderful” showing in holding Jefferson of Lafayette to a twopoint victory at Huntington. last Saturday night, is the fact that Gasl. Keller was the umpire No insinuations are intended, but—well it doesn't smack any too good when a home (owner is engaged to umpire i game. Flwood and Crawfordsville did the saute thing for the Decatur games last week end. The Commodores were getting all set for a great comeback at the expense of the Bellevu, Ohio.

Loc.ii fans were stunned last evening when the Decatur eagers took aloto 1 lead. Elwood had been’ out in front in games played here this season and when the invaders took the nine-point lead the local followers were much amazed. "We did not like the attitude of the fans toward the officials; There I was entirely too much razzing. If the officials would have taxed the Elwood team with foul on a couple I on occasions besause of the fans razzing it would have been just, A* couple of decisions of the officials) did not appear to us as they were called, but we think the officials turned in a nice piece of work. Jazzing tiie officials is poor sportsmanship on the part of the fans. It! does not gain a thing.”—Elwood Call Leader. Not Convinced “We agree with Mary M. Upp that the loss to Bryan didn’t help the percentage against out-of-state teams, but we do think that the Tigers can beat Bryan. It takes more than a one-point loss to make us think otherwise. While we re thinking of ‘Mark M. Upp's statement, we might mention that his Yel-low Jackets two games last week, one to Elwood and one to Crawfordsville, both games I being played away from home. The Ye.low Jackets have been having the same difficulty as Bluffton, that is getting all five men on the floor in gicod condition. At that Decatur put up a good brand of ball and it’s enr guess they’ll be right there with their best when the tourney roilsl around.”—Out of Bounds, Bluffton B nner.
