BIG NET GAMES THIS WEEK-END Th»> first big wook-oml nf bnskf*lball on the 1928-29 card starts tonight. Coaches all over Indiana are biting their fingernails and pacing the floor today In anticipation of games this week-end. Champions are being mould ed. and after a series of practice games, all teams will tear into their schedules tonight In earnest. 'i'he Decatur Catholic high school Commodores left this afternoon for I New Haven, where they will mix skill | with the Bull Dogs of Allen county j New Haven has a real team of voter- I ans and that aggregation is capable of i causing lots of trouble sot the best O’ | teams. Coach Laurent has a method all his own and has a set rule that he never announces the starting lineup of a game. It was indicated, however, that if the game tonight got rough, it was probable that Coach Laurent would use his utility men in order to save his varsity regulars for the heavy schedule next week. New Haven has played two Adams county teams already this season and has an average of .500 in the two games. The Bull Dogs are plenty tough and a hard game is expected. The New Haven floor is small and hard to play on. Ixical net fans say that the Commodores should win by a few points. The Decatur high school Yellow Jackets left this afternoon for Peru, to meet the Tigers in their own den. 1 The Curtismen played Peru in Deca- : tur last year ami sent the visitors ! home with a S-point defeat tied to | them. Peru has practically the same I team as last year, and the Decatur j game was one of the two games lost j during last season, so tonight’s tilt will be a revenge scuffle. Decatur will meet Bluffton Satur- i day night on the local hardwood in <

— — what promises to be the best game of the early net season. Decatui is doped to win, but the Bluffton-Deca-tur game is always anyone's game throughout. Coach Ourtis took his best players on the trip today. The squad is in good shape with the exception of John Engie' who was injured in prac- | tice Wednesday night. He is nursing a cut on the forehead, but it is thought he will be able to start tonight if called on to do so. The combination which has worked out most this week as the varsity team is Krick and Schnepp at guard j positions; Cole at center, and Gerber i and J. Engle forwards. Another good I combination which rolled up plenty of I points on the second team during the week was Krick and Schnepp, guards; t Gerber, center and John and Dick , Engle, forwards. Coach Curtis was undecided as to who would start tonight’s game, hut ' it was apparent that one of the two ' mentioned combinations would take the floor to defend the local team's record of no defeats so far this season. Another Adams county game of gr'*at interest tonight is the JeffersonBerne game to be played at Berne. The Berne aggregation is said to have a slight edge on the Jeffersonians, but the game will be an interesting one. Both teams have been going strong. Berne has not yet met defeat and the ore o; two times Jefferson has bowed to an opponent, the score has been

The Yellow Jackets will play at Huntington January 11. Here's hoping the new gym is dedicated that night or before thnt time. Rooters in every town an dhamb-t would do well to adopt the code of portsmanship which was adopted by the students of the University of Illinois, at a mass meeting yesterday. The decalogue, which has received tiie stamp of approval of the Big Ten conference officials, is as follows: “A true Illinl sportsman: “Will consider all athletic opponents as guests and treat them with all the courtesy dm- friends and guests. “Wii> accept all decisions of officials without question. "Will never hiss or boo a player or official. "Well never utter abusive or irritating remarks from the sidelines, "Will applaud eponents who make good plays or show good sportsmanship. "Will never attempt to rattle an opposing player, such as the pitcher . i.i a baseball game or a player at't mpting to make a free throw in a i, isketball game. ( “Will seek to win by fair and lawj fill ipeans. according to the rules of the game. “Will love the game for what winning may bring him. 1 “Will ’Do unto others as he would 1 have them do unto him.’ ‘ Will ’Win without boasting and t 1, se without excuses.' ” < o ) Mrs. C.

G.E. LOSES TO MONROE. 29-21 The Monroe Bearcats, with three of th'- Kirkhiu I Whippets in the lineup, triumphed over the Decatur Genera) i Electric quintet in an interesting, but rough basketball game here last night, 29-21. The winners were out in front at the end of the half, 18-14. The electricians missed several apparently easy shots,, while the Henrents shot with a little more precision. In the preliminniy game, the Auto malic- team if the inter-department league at the G. E. plant defeated the Winding department team, 21-17.

5c SETTLES A BIG SMOKE QUESTION Can there really be a good cigar for five cents? Some men will say it never was, can nor will be done. But this ad says it is being done—that there’s a really fine 5c cigar to be had: Havana Ribbon. And it’s been on the market thirty years. A cigar has to be good to make such a record. And Havana Ribbon is better today than ever before. Immense production is doing it—so many mil- I lions made; tobacco bought in such i huge quantities, we are able to use | long-filler, ripe tobacco from heart to wrapper. And still keep the price at sc! Imagine! No bitter underripe nor flat-tasting orer-ripe leaves. No loose bits to come out in your mouth. But all fine, full-flavored, age-mellowed tobacco making a delightfully cool, mild, fragrant smoke. If you’ve one nickel in your pocket, man, set it to work and let Havana Ribbon settle the five-cent cigar question completely and ef-fec-tive-ly. Also Practical Pocket Packages of five cigars.
