JEFFERSON IS UPSET VICTIM Monmouth Wins 21-15; Geneva Downs Monroe Quintet, 27 To 12 Monmouth high school, wit alxnit twcAhlrds of its male student body on the basketball team, kicked a whole side out of the dope bucket in the opening game of the Decatur sectional tournament, at the Decatur high school gymnasium, last night and defeated Jefferson high school by the score of 21-15. Geneva high school had little ti•ruble disposing of Montoe in the sei* ond game of the night session. The score of that game was 27-12. In the opening game of the tournament J. Walters, Jefferson forward, opened the scoring by dropping in a two-pointer shortly after the game started. Otto Boerger. M nmouth center, tied the scon l with a field goal and the two teams battled on even terms for several minutes. Toward the middle of the half Boer ger led the Monmouth Eagles in a rally which netted several points. At several times during the game it looked as if Jefferson would pull around the Monmouth team, but the whole Jeff quintet was missing easy shots The half ended with Monmouth leading 10-8. Monmouth continued to hold the lead throughout the second half, though at one time only one point separated the two aggregaticns. Coach Marsh, of Jefferson substituted frequently in the last few minutes of the game in an effort to pull the game out of the fire, but the substitutes had no better luck at the basket than the regulars. The final score was 21-15. The opening game was a decided upset as Jefferson had walloped the Monmouth team three times this season. Geneva Beats Monroe In the closing game of the night's session, the Geneva Cardinals ran away ftom the Monroe high school net . team, winning 21-12. In the first few minutes, every player on the Geneva team scored at least one field goal and before the Monroe aggregation regained consciousness the Cardinals were well out in front. The first half ended 17-6. In the second half, three of the Geneva regulars were taken out of the game and it slowed down considerably during the last 10 minutes. The final score was 27-12 Geneva’s favor. Line-up and summary of Friday night’s games: Monmouth (21) Jefferson (15) Hill F Hanes Parrish F Walters Boerger C ....

Monmouth's Eagles started the ball to rolling by kicking the dope bucket tor a 21-15 victory over Jefferson. The Eagles absolutely refused to be rushed by the Reds and their slower st eadv playing proved to l>e the winning punch.

l<lro< neaslle sectional. There came near being n nice upset al Bedford, when Mitchell forced I Bedford to play overtime to win. Bluffton had to turn many fans away from the tourney last night for lack of space. It is reported that • 1500 season tickets were sold for the W< I'.s county sectional.

FEW UPSETS IN ~ FRIDAY’S GAMES Bainbridge Only Favorite To Lose, Greencastle Winning 23-20 - (U.R) With one exception, favorites in the Indiana basketball sectional tournaments, now in progri s»s in 61 cities of the state, camo through lite first day’s play with victories. The exception was Bainbridge, looked upon as a possible state champion until Greencastle won a thrilling 2320 game from the Bainbridge tiam in the Greencastle section. It was the first defeat of the sea--1 son for Bainbridge, which, prior to I the game, had scored almost at will against most of its opponents.

Hartford, 25; Decatur, 20 Tlie Hartford high school Gorillas and 200 staunch rooters kicked j the whole liottom out of the Adams ffi'uh- | ty dope bucket at the 10 o’clock game. I this morning in the sectional net tourney, by tearing through the DeI catur high school Yellow Jacket quintet, outshooting the favorites and I winning 25-20. The game was a thrllcr at. times and at other times it degenerated into 10 below nothing. As the batt’e wore on and it appealed as if Hartford had a chance to win. both crowds got unruly and the Decatur players were running here and there getting no place fast. It was truly an upset in every sense of Hie word and the 500 Decatur fans sat thr ugh the entire second half of the game, without uttering more than a weak ’’rah." Decatur Takes Lead At one time, Hartford was 6 points behind, but their staunch, supporters' were on their feet begging for a come-back and when Scrogham and N. Banter started hitting the net, it was really a come-fiack. Chester Reynolds, substituting for Joe Krick, drew the first b’-ood of the {{ante by snagging a two-po’nter 3 minutes after the game had started. Hartford soon tied the score and for several minutes the two teams scrapped on even terms. At one time in the first half Hartford drew 4 points away from the Jackets* Decatur Leads At Half Half time found Decatur leading by 3 points, the score reading 14-11. The Decatur team was noticably excited and on many occasions had missed easy shots. Hartford had taken twice as many shots at the basket as Decatur had and had pierced the Decatur defense on several occasions. In the second half, . the Decatur mach’nery appeared to be "greased up" a little and the Yellow Jackets drew away to a six or seven point lead, but the lead dwindled to nothing and with 8 minutes to go, the score was tied 17-17. Bell, Decatur forward, was ejected from the game tn the personal foul ruling and Krick was sent Into the game. Shortly afterwards, J. Engle was sent into the game in plage of Reynolds. Score Tied At 20 As the game wore on, both teams approached 20 at the same time and at this point of the game, Hartford staged a strong come-back, gathering two field goals and a free throw. The final gun ended the mtsery for the i cal team, and Hartford accomplished a feat that deserves praise from everyone. As for the officiating, the writer being a Decatur resident, feels like al! three of the “Two Black Crows,” he’d rather not hear anything more about it. Kirkland, 24; Berne, 19 The Kirkland township Kangaroos ran true to form and humbled the hopes of the Berne high school basketball team in the first game of the

i morning session. The fin'll score was 24-19. Kirkland started out strong, with the two Arnolds and Bowman and Meyers paving the way for a strong offensive attack which was too much ! fcr the Berne team to solve. Coach BUI Bryan’s team was playI Ing In good tournament fashion ami the half way mark was reached with Kirkland leading 15-7. Berne Stages Rally lu the second half. Berne staged a rally and in tjie last six minutes of tile game the score wasjied at 17-17. Pt Ice put the Berne team in the lend with n beautiful field goal but the lead was short-lived and Kirkland swept away to a 24-19 win. The game was slow and, until the closing minutes, ii. was far from Interesting. The officials were working harder than tlie teams.
