Commodores Trounce State Catholic Champions 43 To la

CATHEDRAL FIVE OUTCLASSED BY DECATUR GAGERS Tlip Decatur Catholic high school Commodores sailed their basketball ship toward a state championship by defeating Cathedral high school netters of Indianapolis, state title holders. In a one-sided game, at Decatur Catholic high school gymnasium Saturday night. The final score was 43-12, and, regardless of the lop-sided score, the game was interesting. Rill Gass, Decatur forward, came back to the lineup Saturday night, after being absent since the start of the present season, and played the best game of his career, caging 8 field goals and counting 3 times from the foul line. He also formed a strong cog in the great Commodore defense. Coach Laurent used 8 players in the game and every man played great basketball. Petle .Mylott, captain and forward, hit the net three times from the field and scored two free throws. Wemhoff, center, scored five times from the field and twice from the foul line. Coffee, floor guard, scored once from the field, and played a good defensive game along with Kohne, back guard.' The Cathedral aggregation had a, hard time getting around the local ; defense and had less than a half dozen close shots during the entire game. The visiting netters had a good team, and their passing and floor-work was clever. Time and again they would work the ball down to the Commodores’ end of the hardwood. only to lose it under the basket, where Kohne was fighting and scrapping every second of the game. Carr, Cathedral captain, scored the first points of the game when he sank the only close-up shot he got during the game in the first minute. Gallager added a point for Cathedral on a■ free throw, and the Decatur scoring! artillery started. Gass and Wemhoff I peppered the basket with 2-pointers' the remainder of the half and the score at the half-way was 20-8 in i

favor pt the Commodores. Cathedral strengthened early in the! second stanza and held the Commo-, <lores scoreless for more than 5 minutes of the closing period. Petie I Mylott, who had failed to score in the j first half, started on a scoring spree and sank 3 fielders, followed closely by 3 apiece by Wemhoff and Gass. With a few minutes left to play and the game tucked away. Coach Laurent sent Miller and Gage into the scrap and the Commodores continued their stride. Carr was the outstanding player for the visitors scoring 5 points. Cathedral was held to 3 field goals during the entire game, making cnly one fielder in the second period. The Commodores looked the bes; they have during the season and, during most of the contest, they appeared ready any time now for the state tourney. Cathedral has beeu playing good basketball all season, but the visitors were unable to solve the Decatur defense and they were at a total loss when Wemhoff, Mylott and Gass started the scoring machinery. In the curtain-raiser the Commodore yearlings nipped out a 21-19 win over the Delphos Catholic high school second team in an interesting tilt. The local netters led at the half 13-9, but were pressed hard in the second half, and shortly before the game ended the score was tied at 19-19. Carl Lose, local forward, heaved a long one from past the center of the court and it rang the bell for a counter without even hitting the backboard. The closing seconds found Delphos trying in vain to make up the two-point disadvantage. I-ose was high point man for Decatur scoring 5 fielders and one free throw'. J. Noonan was high point man for Delphos with 3 field goals and a free throw.

I’pp A victory for the Commodores over Cathedral high of Indianapolis here Saturday night didn't vhapge the results of the state Catholic school tourney held In Indianapolis last spring, but the Commodores and their followers got a lot of satisfaction out of the locals' 43-12 drubbing handed the state Catholic champs. Cathedral w.s outclassed from the very start of the game. Bill Gass, who became eligible Friday and played his first game of the season Saturday night, lost no time in showing Coach Laurent anti the fans that he has not developed any cataracts on his basket eye. Bill got eight field goals and didn’t play the entire game. Several of them were the result of those long, arched shots that drop through the net with a little swish. Wemhoff did a little sniping all his own in the Cathedral game, too. He proved especially adept at pushing in follow-in shots. Games for Adams county teams this week include: Friday night-Fort Wayne North Side at Decatur. Berne at Portland, Geneva vs. Portland; Sat urday-St. Bernard's high of Springfield. Ohio, at Decatur Catholic. Kirkland at Central Catholic of Fort Wayne, Poling vs. Hartford at Berne. Monroe vs. Jefferson at Berne, and Manmouth vs. Decatur Catholic seconds.

South Side easily disposed of Marion's so-called Giants at Fort Wayne. Saturday night. 54-37. And that all happened after South Side's Green Archers had gone through a gruelling battle here on Friday night, in which they were drubbed by the Yellow Jackets, 30-15.

Suprise Party For Buckner The Decatur Yellow Jackets, surprised us and South Side of Fort Way ne as well last night when they handed the Green and White squad a 30-15 drubbing. Mickey Baxter, a former Bluffton boy, did not play for South Side in this game. Buckner, in Bluffton Banner. Gives Yellow Jackets Credit While we'd rather talk of something else, we must give credit to the Yellow Jackets for defeating the visiting Ft. Wayne South Side crew on the Decatur maple Friday evening. The score was 30-15. As it will he remembered. a week ago the South Siders won from the Tigers on their own floor 43 to 33. After the year is over however, the Tigers aren't going to abide by the golden yardstick which says something like you should let others do to you what you would like to do to them. It isn't going to be a Christmas treat that the Meansmeu are arranging to give the Yellow Jackets. The season for that sort of thing will be over. Rip Offs, Bluffton News. After undergoing the unpleasantries of numerous early season defeats, the Decatur General Electric eagers hit their stride in the invitational tourney held at Fort Wayne, Sunday, and waded through all their opposition in the first and second rounds and the semi-finals, only to lose to the strong Fort. Wayne Chiefs, in the finals. Had the Decatur hoys had a little time to rest up from their hard battles prior to the final game, they would have made things much more interesting for the Chiefs. The Electricians will play the Meyers Brothers’ quintet, of Bluffton, in this city on December 29. Practically all of the Meyers Brothers are known to many Decatur fans, who have seen them perform various Bluffton and Lancaster teams in this city. The G. E. team will not play at home this week. Muncie's Bear Cats, 1927-28 state champions, defeated the strong Technical high quintet of Indianapolis, at Indianapolis, Saturday night, 31-23. Coach Jolly has the Bear Cats stepping along at a nice pace. It will be interesting to see what happens next Friday night, when the Bear Cats invade Newcastle for a battle with the Trojans, who surprised the basketball world with their 43-21 triumph over Logansport last week. A pest card, mailed at Frankfort Saturday night by the “K. H. S. Gang” after the Kangaroos had lost a hardfought game to Frankfort, 2J-20, arrived this morning. It bore a picture of a deg, suffering pain, and the inscription, “I'm feeling awfully blue, you know why!" The Kangaroos ought not feel blue over their showing at. Frankfort. We’re proud of ’em.

FRANKFORT FIVE DOWNS KIRKLAND Kirkland high school’s Kangaroos gave Frankfort basketbal fans plenty f thrills, Saturday night, in tm.ir game with the Frankfoit eagers, w ten they grabbed the lead from the home boys <>n several occasions, only to be nosed out In the closing minutes of the battle 23-20. Inability to make a fair per centage of their free throws cost the Kangaroos the game. The Adams ; county boys made good only six out of I 16 chances at the free throw line. Kirkland took the lead at the start' of the game and held it until near the I end of the first half, when two field goals put Frankfort ahead, 9-7, at the rest p.»-K'd. The Kangaroos started slowly in the second half, and Frankfort was ahead 9-7 at the rest period. The Kangaroos started slowly in the second half, ams Frandfort ran the score to 16-7.
