COMMODORES END CARD WITH WIN Catholic High Heats St. Joseph’s College, Os Detroit, 33-23 Decatur Catholic high school's Commodores ended their schedule Saturday night with an impressive tenpoint victory over the strong St. I Joseph's Commercial College team, of Detroit. Michigan. The tinal score of the game, which was pjayed tn this city, was 33-23. The Detroit team was compos d of large and clever players, who had lost only one game out of 18 before losing to C. C. 11. 3. at Fort Wayne, 18-11, Friday night. A fairly large < rowd saw the game hi re Saturday night. The first ten minutes of the game was a thrilling exhibition, with first one team leading one point and then the other. The lead changed hands save ntimes during those first few minutes. Then the Commodores pulled away to an 11-point lead which they held at the last period, the count being 22-11. The northerners opened the scoring when Pieice caged a beautiful goal on a long shot and O’Rielly made it 4-0 with a short shot. Then Coach Laurent's boys got busy and field goals by Pete Mylott and Bill Gass and a free throw by Hocky Mylott gave the locals a 5-4 lead. Here the lead began switching from one team to the other, the count tunning, 6-5. 7-6. 8-7, 9-8, 10-9 and 11-10. The Commodores then ran the count to 2&-10. The second tyalf was played in quarters, and it was during the third quarter that the Detroit team out scored the Commodores. 4-3. O’Rielly and Schell each scored field goals, while a free throw and field goal by Pete Mylott represented all of the Commies’ scoring. After Decatur's score had been boosted to 28 and 'Detroit still had 15. the visitors started a rally that looked threatening for a while. Two field goals by Babcock and one each by Deck and Pierce cut the margi|) to five points. 28-23. Hocky Mylott. who was playing his last regular scheduled game for the Commodores, decided that here was a chance for him to make a lasting impression on his career as a Commodore and he didn't do a thing but cage two pretty field goals to put the game on ice. That ended the scoring. Pete Mylott played a great game Saturday night, being a power on defense besides leading in the scoring with five field goals and two free throws. The rest of the Commodores played nice ball to beat the Detroit < agers. In the preliminary game, the Central eighth grade quintet evened the count for the season with the St. Joseph school eighth graders by handing the gold clad quintet a 35-24 defeat. St. Joe led at the half, 11-10, but Central rallied in the second period and buried the fighting St. Joe quintet under a shower of field goals. Each team has triumphed twice in the four games played by the two teams this season. St. Joe won the Wentlioff trophy denotin'!; the city championship, however, l.y winning two out of the regulation t irer-game series.

''The sicon-liouril," in the Kendallville News-Sun, snya: "At the end of the first half la ,J t evening we were just about ready to upend our state tourney money for i lee cream sodax. But. that few minutes In 'he second period showed us that the Red Devil* could «’ID r ,l| y n little biishi lhall if they have too." Ban Lifted "Ossian fans experienced both joy and despair last night. They were ovorjqyed when announcement wau made that Swlhnrt. Herbst and Kielgh, three regulars taken off the team for infraction of school rules, would be permitted Io play. They were then given a dose of just the oppis'le when they saw the Bears fall before the Petroleum Panthers. The Panthers' have been coining mu of the kinks lately and are looming I ke probable tournay dark horses.” Out pl Bounds, Bluffton Banner. Whodathunkit! "The Portland Purple Panthers sure surprised us last night and as fur as we've lieen able to learn the Ticers wore also a little taken back by the turn of affairs. If a good lickin’ right before tourney time is a good thing those Tigers should be in A-l shape. Ellenbeiger was consp'cfows last night by his absence, but we're offering no alibi. Here's just warning the Tigers that another loss this season will mean they'll have to turn in their suits. No foolin' about that —and the coach didn't tell us either!"— Out of Bounds, Bluffton Banner. Don't forget gang, tnat the sectional tourney gets under way in the D. IH.
