DECATUR NET TEAMS PREPARE FOR OPENING Seasons For Both High School Teams Will Start This Month COACHES PREDICT TEAMS’ SUCCESS The stage is cleared for King Basketball. The Decatur Catholic high school Commodores and The Decatur high school Yellow Jackets are practicing strenuously every day for two of the hardest net schedules ever undertaken by local schools. The public high school schedule starts a week from Friday, November 23, when New Haven high school journeys here and a week later the Commodores will get into action against the Ashley public high school. Coach George Laurent of the Commodores is busy knocking off the rough edges cf his squad and indlca-i tlong are that the Commodores will I have one of the best teams ever to rep resent the I cal Catholic high school. Four of last year's team are left around which Coach Laurent is building a powerful machine. Petie Mylott, floor guard. Wemhoff, center, Gass, forward and Miller firward, are the veterans in which the hope of a successful season is pinn»d. Among the recruits this year are Coffee and Metzger, forwards; Rumschlag. Kohne, Harris and Vian, guards. All of the reserve material Is far above par, and the Commodore fans can be at ease when any of the regulars are taken out of the game. Yellow Jackets Look Good Ccach Herb Curtis is whipping his I Yellow Jackets into shape for a game a week ftom Friday. Ten members of the first team and ten members of the second team go through a hard grind every afternoon after school and the regular outfit looks good as the first week of practice nears a close. Coach Curtis has two veteians from' last year's regular squad. Carl Gerber center, has been showing more aggressive ability than ever before and he' hasn't let down a bit on his defensive prowess. Joe Klick, veteran back guard, has been going through the preliminary re hearsals in fine shape, he looks better! at defense than usual hut he hasn’t, been able to hit the net from center yet, as accurately as he did last year Coach Curtis has a problem in fill ■ ing the place of Roy Anadell, fl or J guard, who was graduated last spring.; At present Curley Reynolds and i Dwight Schnepp are alternating at the I position and both are showing ability.! With the graduation of all the Yel-i low Jacket regular forwards last spring! there is a grand scramble for the regu-j lar forward berths. The two Engle boys l Dick and Johnnie, Dob Cole, Chalmer, Deßolt and Monte Leßr&n all are can ! didates for forward positions. Leßrun also alternates at the guard post and 1 Cole fills the pivot position part of the time. Local fans are anticipating lots cf excitement when both schools get into action, and early indications are that the two teams will have successful sea-

These I hosts hope to revenge a 21 to 13 defeat that Sutherlands boys plastered on them a year ago. Rumor has it that it takes a real eleven to down Nebras- ; ka on the home grounds. i Pitt has some fine power plays and I some great passes.

(Copyright 1928, Publishers Syndicate) o NORTHWESTERN WILL MEET I. U. Evanston, 111., Nov. 15. - Northwestern and Indiana resume their annual grid rivalry dating back to 1599 next Saturday at Bloomington. Although •he two rivals are definitely out of the running for the Big Ten title this year nevertheless the game has every indication of being one of the most Interesting of the season. The traditional rivalry of the game between the two institutions always goes far towards bringing both elevens to their top notch strength. Os the sixteen games played Northwestern has won 10 and Indiana six. The Purple lias piled up a total of 17S points to Indiana’s 133. Northwestern will exert every es fort to atone for the defeat handed them by the Hoosiers last year. In that engagement Pat Page's crew won by a score of 18 to 7. Indiana will have most of the same men back who ran wild against the Purple last season, namely Harrell, Bennett and Faunce. These clever backs will be out to do their stuff before the home crowd Saturday. Coach Hanley will use much the same lineup that successively turned back Minnesota and Purdue on successive Saturdays. Capt. Holmer will function at fullback where he has been a prominent offensive factor all season with his passing, kicking and lugging the hall. In Saturday's game against Purdue he advanced the ball
66 yards in 22 attempts for an aver age of three yards each time. C»pt. Holmer s kicking has been unusually good this year. He appears to be well ahead of any other punter in the conference this season to date On a very muddy field with a wet ball he averaged 36 yards per punt against Purdue. In the Minnesota contest he punted out of hounds twice inside the Gophers 10 yard line from the center of the field. The Purple band of 130 pieces will make the trip on a special train which is to leave Chicago early Saturday morning. Several hundred students are expected to journey on the special. The team will leave Evanston Thursday night and will stay in Bedford Friday night, coming to Bloomington Saturday in time for the game. Irate Woman Chases “Man Caller’’ Out Residents of the south end of Decatur were both laughing and gossiping this mo. ning fallowing an episode which happened sometime between b.eakfast and noon. A well-known Decatur man entertered a residence in the south part es Decatur this morning, and shortly thereafter he left in a hurry. Closely following the man came a jar-full of gatbage which struck the man squarely in the back. After the jar, came an irate woman, who evidently threw’ the jar at the "caller". Neighbors said the man had been at the residence on several occasions and that the lady's ire was stirred this morning and she chased him out.
