COLUMBIA CITY HERE TUESDAY Titkpts for the Decatur Columbit nty high school basket hall tamp, to hp played here tomorrow night, will he placed on sale at the high school building between 7 and 8 o’clock this evening. Walter .1. Krick, principal /cf the local high school, said this morning. A largo number of tickets arP available, he said, but the supply l„ expected to go quickly, since this Is expected to be one of the best games of the season. Columbia City has one of the strongest teams in the Northeastern Indiana conference and in this section of the state. The team is composed mainly of veterans. Columbia City has exhibited one of the strongest scoring offenses seen around here this season. Coach Devol's Itoys scored 53 ponits on Auburn, recently. Coach Herb Curtis, of the Yellow Jackets, has been drilling his players long and hard on defense this week, in an effort to stop the powerful Columbia City scoring combination. Another feature tomorrow evening, will be a game between the high school second team and the alumni, which will be played as a curtainraiser. This game will start at 7 o'clock and the big game is scheduled to get under way at 8 o'clock. The Yellow Jackets have been idle, as far as games are concerned, since their impressive 30-15 victory over Fort Wayne South Side here, on December 14, but Coach Curtis has been sending them through stiff workouts daily since the middle of last week, and they are reported to be in good condition. o Field Goals ‘By Mark M. Upp Baek again, after a three-day scran with Mr. Flu. Thanks to our worthy associate, the dear public was not disappointed when they picked up the D. D. each evening. In fact, it was a fear that he might make too big a hit with the public that caused us to hasten back to the job. Tickets for the Columbia City game will be on sale at the high school building between 7 and 8 o'clock tonight. Better reserve a seat, folks, because lots of people want to see this game. Huntington and Fort Wayne Central meet in the South Side gym at Fort Wayne tonight. This game was isos’poned from about two weeks ago. The Viking has a good chance of stopping the Central Tigers. Godspeed To You, Cash This section of Indiana has lost one of its premier columnists. Cash Keller, who his been conducting a sport column in the Huntington newspapers for the last six years, has accepted a position with a Washington, Ind., newspaper, and he began his duties there today. We’re sorry to see Cash leave our neighborhood, even though we've had several hot fights (a la typewriter) with him. His columns, "Crowds on the Sidelines”, in the Huntington Press a few years ago, and his recent column "Fan Whiffs" in the Huntington Herald, always contained witty comment and up-to-the-minute dope on current sports. In moving to Washing■on, Cash is entering the hot bed of Southern Indiana basketball and he L becoming a booster of a real ball club in the Washington Hatchets. Good luck Cash, and Godspeed. Here’s his "Au Revoir” in Saturday's Herald: Fan Whiffs hereby makes his farowell bow to city and county readers after a sojourn of almost six years in Huntington as a columnist. It is with regret that the writer leaves this pleasant city on the hanks of the Little Wabash and the equally friendly coun tryside and surrounding county com- • Dimities. Many have the tri umphs which have been celebrated by this colyumnist; legion have been the alibis for other occasions. The writer goes on to Washington where he will tlo his best for the greater glory of the Hatchets. But northern Indiana —and Pat|ticuy,rly Huntington—w|ll never b e forgotten.” George Purcell, one of the few usketball cohinminsts who owns his uw-n newspaper and, therefore, can't •use his job on account of his personal remarks, writes the following perHnent paragraphs in his Bloomington W X kI about Frankfort: Frankfort has a basketball team purposed of two Unroe boys from *‘ora, Indiana; Stroup from Scircle'Je- Indiana; Hadley frm Amo, and rrimmer from Culter. The rest of the squad are from Frankfort. °ach Case was caught inviting Payers from near North Vernon to ®° toe to school They were only medicre Players and one cf the dads, the or y goes turned up Case, which caus-

Three of the leading coaches of America will go before the annual meeting of the football rules committee to petition that all frtmbled balls be declared dead at the point of recovery. „ . These coaches, Glenn Warner, Knut. Rockne and William Alexander, were appointed after the National Association of Coaches in its New Orleans meeting voted to curb plays which result from fumbles. Elimination cf the right to run with a fumbled ball undoubtedly will take away one of the game's most spectacular plays but the majority of lead ing football men agree that the game would benefit.

Other elements entered into the matter, but in general bettors concluded that California's rceortl showing two ties was superior to that of lech with nine victories and no detents nor ties. i I The conclusion of western superi inrity was founded on the Stanford, i! Oregon Aggie and Southern California victories respectively over Army, New York University and Notre Dame. California tied Stanford and Southern California and was conceded ■ without playing the Aggie eleven, to 1 have an edge over that team. o — East Defeats West In I Benefit Football Game San Francisco, Dec. 31—(U.R)—A smooth working team of gridiron men from the east gave a far western 1 team a thorough football lesson before 40,000 spectators and won .i 20-0 ' victory, here Saturday. It was the first time since the an nual Shrine east-west game for charity was inaugurated four years ago that an eastern team had been able to leave the field with a victory. The slashing, determined football men from the east and middle west , at no time were in danger of being . scored upon. Individual stars, as was expected, , twinkled brightly, but none with such ’ brilliance as Walter Holmer of North- , western. Holmer passed, kicked, ran and did everything brilliantly. It was , Homei who drew three beautifully , executed passes in the first period ’ that carried the easterners Into scoring distance from a starting point deep in their own territory.
