The Yellow Jackets look much better than the same team did a year i ago, but often times looks are distressingly deceitful and only the season will prove just what sort of a team the Yellow Jackets will be this year.

KANGAROOS TO PLAT FRANKFORT ' Frankfort high school basketball > teim, a fatnniar figure at Indiana state . basketball tournaments, will be seen I in Deeatui next Saturday night pitted * I against the Kirkland high school Kan gate.os. The game will be played at the 1 Decatur high school gymnasium, in order that a larger crowd can be taken care of, than is possible at the Kkrkland gymnasium. ‘ For the last dozen years, Frankfort 1 always has had a strong basketball team and on several occasions has g ne through the season without a defeat, ony to he upset at the tournament by some "dark horse" aggregation. Several weeks ago, both Frankfort and Kitkland were suspended ft. m the state athletic association until January 1. 1929. This forced a revamping of schedules for both Flankfort and Kirk land. The two teams would not otheri wise have met. Both teams however, were forced to cancel some games, and 1 it was agteed between the two seho-ls to play two games before the fit.st of the yeat. one here in Decatur and one at Frankfort. Th?se who follow basketball dope closely say that Fiankfort should have the strongest team this year, that has ever repiesonted that school. Frank ' fort net fans are not bashful about telling the w rid that their team will win the state title this year. Anyway, the game Saturday night will be well worth seeing and it is expected that there will be little stand ing room left in the local gymnasium when the whistle blows for the open ing of the game next Satin day. No seats will be teserved, and the gates will epen at 7 o'clock. The game will start at 8:15 P. M. PEACE PREVAILS IN A, A. MEETING New’ York, Nov. 20. — (U.R) — Peace and harmony existed today between the co'lege and amateur factions ot the Amateur Athletic Union as the i fortieth annual convention went into its final day at the Waldorf Astoria hotel. With Avery Brundage, 38-year-old Chicago contractor, slated to succeed Murray Hulbert, of New York, who is now closing his fourth teim as president. the western conference, which has long been at odds with the A. A. U., was expected to be drawn closer to the amateur body. i A serious internal clash was narrowly averted in the opening day's session between the college faction, | led by Gustavus T. Kirby, past president of the A. A. U„ and head of the | I. C. A. A. on behalf of eastern col- | leges, and amateur athjetic leaders, ( championed by L. Di Benedetto of i New Orleans. Kirby’s resolution to permit a college or university maintaining a prop- . er system of amateur standards to < certify the amateur status of its ath- J letes for A. A. U. competition was | passed only after two defeats and two ■ revisions. The amateur leaders objected to ’ the resolution on the ground that pro- I fessionalism might creep into the [ lanks of the A. A. U„ pointing out I that many colleges allowed their ath- ! letes to play semi-pro baseball in the J summer and receive as high as $l5O I a month and still retain their am- [ ateur standing for intercollegiate ath- j letics. J With the registration of college ath- j letes now accepted through the col- | leges by the A.A.U., the way has been j cleared for closer relations between > the A. A. U. and the National Col- I legiate A. A , which had quarreled ( with the former body on this point. It was even rumored that the Big ■ Ten, the foremost conference In the National Collegiate A. A., might be I induced to join the A. A. U. Only lowa | University of the Big Ten conference I is now a member of the A. A. U. with I Brundage as president, it was said the j A. A. U. might launch a campaign to I bring the Big Ten into the fold. Several outstanding records were I approved including Sabin Carr’s in- , door pole vault of 14 feet, 1 inch; [ Emerson Spencer’s time of 47 seconds for the 400 metres; De Hart Hubbard's time of 9 3-5 seconds for the 100 yards; and Lloyd Hahn’s 1:51 2 5 for the 880-yard indoors. Eleven track and field records were rejected. Among those turned down were Lee Barnes’ application for a mark of 14 feet, I’2. inches in the pole vault; Frank Hussey's application of 6 4-5 seconds for 70 yards; and Charley Paddock's application for a record at 175 yards. Hussey’s mark was discredited because it was believed ' humanly impossible to run 70 yards 1 in 6 4-5 seconds. Louis N. Goldsmith, chairman of the t ecord committee, ’ pointed out that at the rate Hussey was running he would have covered ■ 100 yards in less than 9 seconds. o I Poor Management When a man Is a loose manager he k« finds bltuseif lu u tight place.

How Noire Dump's Pass Beat Navy ’“ft*- „ Cx; By Sol Metzger When a coach is pushed for material all his inventive genuis comes to the front. That alone saved Notre Dame ft out anotbei defeat cr two tills fall. It's going to prove its big stock in | trade when the Fighting Irish take on ! Southern California’s big team at Los Angeles Saturday a week. Peihaps R ckne's gieatest play of the current season was the one that gave Notre Dame its one touchdown victory ovet the Navy bel'ote the 121, 000 that viewed this game. The chance 1 came near the eml, when a Navy punt 1 went wrong. This ft rward pass finally closed the argument. After the shift to the right the ball I was passed to No. 5 back and the play began, as do most of Rockne's wide runs, as an end run, backs Nos. 2, 3 and 4 apparently leading the runner but No. 3 alone took the opposing end. I the other two streaming down field apparently fcr a pass. No. 5 played the pass perfectly. H< ran deep to the right and kept looking to the light. Suddenly he turned when at top speed and whipped a diagonal pass back to his No. 6 end The latter had waited a moment on the line until the back on that side had fallen for the fake run. Then he beat it as shown in the diagram and caught the pass in the end zone. But what a boomerang it might prove if not walked perfectly? Tomorrow —how the Army works a foward pass of similar type.
