The Yellow Jackets will meet 1 ■(' Fort Wayne North Sider; next l-riday night at the local gymnasium and on Saturday night the Commodores will be hosts to the crack Catholic high school nettera from Springfield, Ohio Huth games are expected to draw larga crowds. Coach Curtis sent his Yellow Jackets through a workout Monday in preparation for the Friday scrap. He was highly pleased with the results cf the Friday night game, but indicated there would be no letup in the strenuous practice which the Yellow Jackets have been having for the last two weeks. There is a possibility that the North Side game may be cancelled or postponed. due to the epidemic of influenza in Fort Wayne. The public schools in that city were closed yesterday and will not re• .pen until January 3. A few members of the North Side basketball squad are ill, but so far t.ie game has not been cancelled. Officials of the Decatur and North Side schools were in conference in regard to the game yesterday, but it was decided to wait until later in the week Itefore deciding j whether or not to delay the game j Kocher, substitute guard‘on the Deca-1 tur varsity squad, was out of practice Monday, due to sickness. Gerber was reported to have a sore throat, bitwas out for practice. Coach Laurent gave the Commodates a night off after their fine game of Saturday night, but said that starting Tuesday hard practice sessions would be held the remainder of the week. In the preliminary next Saturday night, the Commodore second team will meet the Mount uth high school netters. Tickets will go on sale Wednesday for both games and indications are that goal sized crowds will attend both games, regardless of the fact that local stoles are remaining open at nights to take care of the Christmas trading rush. Single admission tickets for the Yellow Jacket game Friday night may be obtained at the Decatur high school building and tickets for the Commod re-Springfield clash Saturday night may be secured at the Eats restaurant. — o Tommy 1 oughran Wins From Big Boy Peterson Chicago, Dec. 18 — (U.Pj — Tommy Loughran, who gave up his light heavyweight title to compete in the heavyweight class, wen his first start bygetting the decision over big boy Pet-er-on in ten rounds here last night. The Philadelphia fighter took every round except the third and seventh which went to Peters n by a shade. Loughran’s left was particularly effective both in hooking and jabbing.

This game will offer a little dope, on the Angola-Decatur game to be played here Jan. 4. ■ ■ — ' Kirkland displayed a f’ne defense and fought every second of the bat tie," says the Frankfort Morning Ti mes after the Kirkland-Frankfort game Saturday night. "The visitors held the lead of the first half and forced Frankfert to fight harder than ever before td regain the lend," the Times eon I tinue-s. So far. the North Side-Decalur game, scheduled to be played here Friday night, has not been cancelled. Several members of the North Side aquae! ! are . ’ported to be ill with the flu and j there is a possibility that the game may be cancelled or postponed. 1 n ; less conditions gel worse, however, the contest likely will be played as sched tiled. Is This Baseball "The St. John's high eagers retu. n 1 to Delphos Sunday from Toledo, wijere they lost a hard-fought game with Toledo St. John’s. Saturday night. The final score was 1U to 9." Delphos Her j aid. Thinks Dope Is Dopey "Kendallville took one on the nose in rather complete fashion at K'vllle last Friday when Auburn went home with a 40 to 21 triumph. That doesn't look so good for the Norse. Auburn has . i beaten South Side at Fort Wayne and Garrett at Garett but also took a twenty point setback at Decatur. Herb Curtis’ Decaturites, by the way. doubled the score on South Side last week after the Green Archers had decisivelywalloped Bluffton on the previous week-end. And Decatur onlybeat Bluffton at Decatur by four points. This Northeastern conference dope is indeed very dopey. Fan Whiffs, Huntington Herald "The saddest words of tongue or pen are needed to record what hap- ' pened to ijogansport "A" Berries in ’ their own bailiwick last night. And 1 the worst of it was it didn't take | any Vincennes, or Martinsville, or Ledford, to do it. j "It was done by by brilliant basket- ’ ball and not by a reputation. When ; it was all over the score was 43 to ' 21 and Logansport didn’t win. i “it was the biggest rout since the battle of Waterloo. Newcastle's Trojans rose lo unexpected hieghts and plucked our Be.ries with a throughness that left no doubt. It threatened to be worse, even, than it was Logansport didn’t get a field goal four fifths of the game, or late in the second half. The score was 36 to 10 in favor of Newcastle-imagine that-when Rus Davis, substituting for Carr, , finally crashed a field goal thro- > I gh and only six minutes of the

Newcastle? Ho, ho. So much I duck soup. ’ But Newcastle thought differently. And once mots', a good big team knocked the socks off a good little team. "The contest had hardly started when there appeared lo be something to worry about. Newcastle scored six points before Logansport bad even for a moment, possession of the ball. "The monstrous Wiles, Trojan center, just seemed to be right where the bull was going to come off the bank every time and when ' he held his hands up with the ball. there wasn't a Logansport player who could jump and touch it. "While the drublWng wound up with Newcastle playing a delayed offense i game, the first half was plenty lively. The loveliness was nothing for Logansport fans to rave about. The Troians were on top, literally, figurative- | ly and accually. and it’s a shame their ■ own fans were not present to see it."
