COMMIES STAGE RALLY TO WIN Catholic High Commodores Win Thrilling Victory Over Lima, 26-24 Staging a brilliant rally that turn'd almost ceitain defeat Into a glorious victory in the last four minutes and fifty seconds of the game, the Decatur Catholic high school Commodores nosed out the St. Hose high school quintet, of Lima. Ohio, on the Rusarians’ floor last night. 26 to 24. Every fan in the packed gym was on his feet during the whole of those last few precious minutes. Coach Laurent's quintet had trailed 7-3 at the quarter and 12 to 4 at the half. The third quarter found the Commodotes fighting hard to overcome the St. Rose lead, but the tight Was being waged against great odds on a floor where only under-the-bas-het shots could be made, owing to the low ceiling. At the end of the third period, the Commodores wej-e still trailing. 20 to 13. Dating the first half, St. Rose was using Lynch as a pivot man at the foul line, combined with a legal blocking game and fake pass, but Coach Laurent gave his boys the cue between halves that stopped this style of play effectively. Start Victory Drive With only four minutes and 50 seconds left to play and the score stand ing 20 to 13 in favor of St. Rose, the Commodores began their victory drive. They boosted their score to 19 before St. Rose counted a field goal to make it 22-19. This goal was made by Dimond, who was sent into the game to stop the Commodores’ rally. A free thtow by Coffee, who had entered the game when Miller turned his ankle slightly, and a closein shot by Petie Mylott, knotted the score. Lynch scored from the field for Lima, hut Petie again hit the basket to tie the score at 24-all. St. Rose got possession of the ball and ■ tried vainly to break through the | Commodores’ defense. The Buckeyes ' lost the ball with only 40 seconds ' left to play. Petie Mylott faked in front of Dimond and then slipped around the St. Rose star to drop the ball through the net for the winning two points. The Commodores bad

possession of the ball when the gun ended the battle. They had doubled their score in the last four and onehalf minutes. Petie Mylott was the loading scorer for the Commodores lust night, with five field goals, all scored in the sec- | <>nd half, but every mun on the team 1 played real basketball. Wemhoff gave the Commodores the tip-off a majority of the time but the low ceiling kept long tosses by (las and Petie Mylott from scoring in the first half. The Commodores never were in the lead until Petie Mylott dropped In the final counter. The score was knotted at 2-all early in the game, when Hocky Mylott score the Commodores’ only field goal of the first half. Last night's victory, coming as a pl< asant surprise to the Commodores' followers, evens the count for the season between the two teams. St. Rose defeated the Commodores hero in an overtime game, 37-36, on December 21. Owing to the small floor and low ceiling, and the fact that the Lima team is considered one of the best in that part of Ohio, local fans weie not very optimistic over the outcome of last night’s contest. The Commodores will play Richmond Catholic high here Thursday night, in a return game, and will meet St. Joseph’s Commercial College, of Detroit, Michigan, here on Saturday night. Due to a misunderstanding here, it was thought that University High, of Detroit, was the team coming here Saturday night. This impression was corrected by a letter received this morning, however. The St. Joseph team holds a 19-17 victory over University High and has lost only one game in eighteen starts. Lineups and summary: Commodores (26) St. Rose (24) (lass F .

D.H.S. SECONDS BEAT HOAGLAND Young Yellow .Jackets Win By Score Os 52-16; Third Team Wins With a score of 52 to 111, the Decatur high school second team swamped the Hoagland high school varsity In a basketball game played on the latter's floor, last night. Both teams appeared to bo nearly equal in the first few minutes, neither scoring. Reynolds opened the Decatur attack with a field goal in about the fourth minute of play. Reynolds, Debolt, and Sehnepp connected frequently with the basket, and by the end of the half Decatur had run the score to 23-9. Houk was the only one on the Hoagland team who managed to break loose for a score. The second half continued in the same manner. Decatur's points were fairly evenly divided. Houck, however. got all but two of Hoagland's points. Reynolds was the high point man with eight field goals and two free throws to his credit. In the preliminary game, the Decatur third team defeated the Hoagland seconds, 38-8. Lineups and summary: Decatur S. (52) Hoagland V. (16) Debolt F Houck Shoaf. F M.

I FIELD GOALS By MARK M. UPP 10 - ■ Last night's victory was one of the most impressive turned in by the Commodores this season. That old last half drive turned the trick. Two more hurdles appear in the I path of the Commodores this week, Richmond Catholic here tomorrow night and St. .Joseph's Commercial Co’lege of Detroit here Saturday ; night. The Detroit team will play C. C. H. S. at Port Wayne on Friday night. The Yellow Ja ket second team turned in another lop-sided victory last night, by trouncing the Hoagland varsity, 52-16. Despite the, fact that five of the ten players cn the varsity ' squad will be graduated next spring, prospects for next year don't look so gloomy for the Yellow .Jackets. Dickey, star back guard of the South Side quintet, may not play any more basketball this season, according to reports from Fort Wayne. He is having trouble with his ankles, following an injury and an attack of the flu. which seemed to settle in his ankle. Monmouth's Eagles have two games for this week-end. They play at Chester Center on Friday night and meet Geneva here in the Decatur high gym on Saturday night. Monroe will play Polingtown here Saturday night, also. Sportsmanship Lundy Welborn, quiet little coach of South Side high school. Fort Wayne, yesterday performen one of the best piecis of sportsmanship that has come to our attention for a long while. He made a special trip to Decatur yesterday to treat the injured knee of Joe Krick, stellar guard of the Yellow Jackets, in away which he learned in a physical training school last summer. Joe hurt his knee In the Portland game last Saturday night, the knee being sprained and the ligaments and tendons injur ed. Today, Krick's knee appears to be greatly improved and indications are that he will be in condition to play in the tournament. In view of the fact that Decatur is generally considered the biggest obstacle in the way of the South Side team going to the state finals in Indianapolis, Welborn's deed, coming voluntarily, is indeed a fine piece of sportsmanship. To top it off, Lundy refused to take any remuneration for his service, lie told Coach Curtis he hud treated similar injuries among his own athletes and that they had healed rapidly. Unintentional Humor “Efforts in Tuesday's battle will be centered on stepping Gass, tho right forward of the invaders, who accounted for half of his team's points in the earlier game. He Is a deceptive player, giant in stature and handles himself with perfect, ease." — Lima News, (Tuesday.)

East Chicago Quintet Wins 20th Straight East Chicago, Ind., Feb. 22. (INS) The basketball team of Washington high school of this city saluted Washington’s birthday last night by hanging up the twentieth consecutive victory of the season. Maintaining its undefeated record Washington wpn ftom Emerson of (laty, 24 to 22 in a desperate encounter. Washington of East Chicago is one of the very few teams in Indiana that has maintained a clear record this season, and Is being picked by many to be in the finals at the state tournument in Indianapolis in Mari it. FINE SPIRIT OF CHAIRTY SHOWN The spirit of "c’hatity" was certainly manifested in Decatur, following the publishing in Monday's Daily Democrat of a story of a poverty stricken family in this city. The family found to be suffering for food an dheat, con slsted of a father, mother and five small children livink on Patterson street. And today, the father has a job, the children are clothed, there is ample foo din the little shack, a warm fire made of blocks and coal, keeps the house nice and warm, there are clean comforts and bedding, and the house presents an entirely different aspect than it did on Monday morning. Not only Decatur citizens, but those in the surrounding country, wasted no time or effort in their attempt to relieve the proverty which had been uncovered in their midst. Several have donated money toward the support of the little family which has been turned over to the "United Charities, who will apply it as needed to the cause. Kirkland To Play Union Center Friday Night Coach Bill Bryan, of Kiikland high school, announced today that lie has schedule da game with the fast Union Center team, of Wells county, to be played in the Kirkland gym, Friday night. This game was shceduled to fill the date left open by the cancellation of a game by Chester Center. Kirkland defeated Union Center a few weeks ago, by a five-point margin, and the Wells county team will seek revenge, Friday night. There will be a preliminary at 7:15 o’clock and the big game at 8 o’clock. Warmer Weather And Rain Melting Snow Tile deep snow, which has hampered automc-bile traffic throughout this part of Indiana since Saturday, was rapidly disappearing today, with the advent of warmer weather and a drizzling rain.

B. C, H. S. TO PLAY TWO HARD GAMES Commodores To Play Richmond And Detroit Teams Yet This Week Two stiff games are ahead of the Catholic high school Commodores yet this week. Tomorrow night, the Commodores will play the Richmond Catholic eagers here in the second game of the season between the two teams. The Commodores won the first game, after a hard fight and a good game is expected tomorrow night. The St. Joe eighth grade girls wil Iplay the Central school eighth grade girls in the preliminary, starting at 7:30 o'clock. On Saturday night, the strong St. Joseph’s Commercial College team, of Detroit. Michigan, will play the Commodores- here. Through a misunderstanding, it was thought the Detroit team which was to play here was University High, but this impression was corrected in a letter received here today. St. Joseph's Commercial College defeated University High this season, 19-17, and has lost only one game in eighteen. Season tickets will not be good for the Detroit game, as it was scheduled in addition to those on the tickets. No seats will be reserved for the game and admission will lie fifty cents for adults and twenty-five ceuts for school children. The proceeds will be used to help defray the expenses of the Commodores at the state Catholic tourny, to be held in Indianapolis next month. — o — Two Rig Ten GaGmes On Schedule Tonight Chicago, Feb. 22 - (INS) -Chicago at Minnesota and Indiana at Ohio State is tlie Big Ten basketball menu for tonight.
