YELLOW JACKETS SWAMP BIPPUS Curtismen Pile Up 78-40 Victory Over Huntington County Quintet The ttecatur high school Yellow Jackets dosed the books last as far as their 20-game schedule Is concerned, by making a 78-40 entty on the credit side of the ledger. The Curtismen outclassed the Bippus high school quintet from Huntington county in a game played In the D. 11. S. gym and in the doing tan up their biggest score of the season. The Yellow Jackets played mighty nice basketball during the entire first half ami at the rest period were 33 points to the good, the scoreboard reading. Decatur 50, Flippus 17. The visitors had been stopped cold and most of their 17 points were the result of long tosses at the basket. In the meantime, the Yellow Jackets had been passing the old pill around in tine fashion to work in near the basket for easy shots. In the second half, the Yellow Jackets forgot their defense in an effort to pile up the score and as a result their play grew ragged. Bippus started hitting the net and the locals, while they managed to score a little oftener than their opponents, tailed to keep up their rapid fire bombardment. Coach Curtis sent in four substitutes after the half was about half gone. Bob Hill and Roy Anadell tied for honors in the scoring spree. Hill sank 12 field goals and a free throw, while Roy tossed in nine baskets from the field and seven from the foul line, giving each a total of 25 points. Chet Reynolds, who performed at guard in Joe Krick’s place, while the latter sat on the bench nursing his injured knee, sank four field goals and three free throws for third scoring honors. ’ Gerber and Bell played a trice passing game and aided in piling up the score. For Bippus. Michel and Bickel, forwards, carried off scoring honors, the former making six baskets and the latter sinkink five field goals and one free throw. Deerner, center played a fine game until ejected from the contest on personal fouls shortly before I the first half ended. Decatur took the lead at the start | of the game on two free throws by Anadell and a field goal by Hill. Michel dropped in a pretty basket for Bippus and then the Yellow Jackets piled up a 14-2 lead. The Hippus team looked dangerous 1 at times and passed the ball nicely, but the Yellow Jackets defense was too strong, especially in the fit st half. 1 for them to get close-in shots. The vis- 1 itors made a good per cent of their shots. * < The Yellow Jackets’ snippilng was not confined to field goals last night, as they sank 14 cut of 19 tree throws. ' Anadell caged seven out of eight ' chances. Joe Krick was not in a suit last night, due to his injured knee.

DPP ! 11 11 With the announcement this morn ing of the schedules for the sections' tourneys, comes the realization that it will soon be time to put the old col until away for another peaceful nap The schedule for the Decatur sectional, along with the schedules for neighboring sectionals appear In the Dally Democrat tonight. Get busy and dope them out. Four of the so-called strongest teams In the local sectional arc grouped in the same half of the schedule, providing a nice chance for one of the other four to pull the dark horse stunt. By the time the final games is called, there will be only one of the four following teams left in the running: Hartford, Decatur, Kirkland and Berne. Bob Hill, Roy Anadell, Chet Key nolds and Bill Bell sure closed theii careers for D. H. S. in fine shape last night. Bob and Roy each scored 25 points, and Chet and Bill were playing bang-up ball. Adams county teams outside Decatur didn’t fare so wel last night. Hartford was the only one to win. Kirkland. Monroe and Monmouth all drop ped decisions to Wells county oppom ents, for which yours truly, no doubt, will get the merry ha( ha from Blufftbn scribes. Bluffton, with Dale Ellenberger out of the lineup, was sunk by the Portland Panthers at Bluffton, last night 40-26. The former Berne flash in one of the main cogs in the Tiger machine and when he’s on the bench, the Tig ers growl very meekly. The two teams recruited from the D. H. S. second squad, who staged the durtainraiser last night, put up a mighty nice game. The score was close all the way and both teams were playing smart basketball. With all of those boys back in school next year, Coach Curtis ought to find some valuable material with which to patch the holes left by the graduation of Bell, Anadell, Reynolds, Hill and Stonebttrner. Tonight, the Commodores close their schedule in a game with St. Joseph’s Commercial College of Detroit, Michigan. The auto city boys put up a stiff game against C. C. H. S. at Fort Wayne last night, and the Irish had a tough time beating them. 18-11, Fans can expect another good game here tonight. Get the Habit—Trade at Home, it Pays

Sid kept an irritating left in Jimmy's face, and occasionally jabbed the Pacific coast boxer off balance. Go it went for the first minute and a half.
