YELLOW JACKETS CRUSH COLUMBIA CITY FIVE, 42-18 Curtismen Win Handily, But Show Effects Os Three Weeks Lay-Off Decatur high school Yellow Jackets, after a three-week rest period, started off the new yeat In good fashion at Decatur high school gymnasium last night, by drubbing the highly touted Columbia City high school basketball tea into the tune of 42-18 In a North- < astern Indiana Conference game. Roth

team to the tune of 42-18 In a Northrest, due to Christmas vacation. The visitor!) were unable t;> solve the Decatur defense and scored only four times from the field. The Curtismen. in the meantime, bombarded the net with a series of long and short shots for 18 field goals. Decatur’s playing excelled the visitors in every phase of the game. Columbia City netters came to Decatur with a long senes of victories and only one defeat, a one-point decision, chalked up against them and the game in the early minutes promised to bo a thriller. Helfrick, back guard for the visitors, drew the first blocd of the evening when he sank a free throw shortly after the game started. Schnepp's field goal sent Decatur into the lead, and, while tied on two or three x occasions, the Curtismen never trailed again. The count was knotted at 2-all and again at 8-all, but after that the Yellow Jackets showed a great mount of superiority. Columbia City made several efforts to stage rallies in the opening period, but the efforts all failed and the Curtismen were out in front at the halfway mark, 18-11. In the second period, Schnepp, J. Engle and Cole led an offensive attack which sent Decatur into a 38-11 lead. Helftick, Columbia City guard, went to the showers at the middle of the second half, and a short time after that Gerber, Decatur guard left the hardwood on four personals. Joe Krick, Decatur back-guard, sus- | tained an injured knee late in the second peri.d. Krick Injured Ills kttbb a yeat ago against the Columbia City team and it bothere dhim the rest of the season. The Yellow jackets' physician stated last night, however, that the new injury was not si serious and the mainstay of the Decatur defense, in all probablities, will he able to play again in a few days.

Coach Curtis used eight mon during the contest, and all of them displayed a let of ability in the great Hoosier sport. Dwight Schnepp, playing his first year on the varsity team, gathered in 14 points f r the Curtismen: Johnnie Engle counted four times from the field and once flotn the foul line lor a total of II points; Hob Cole collected 11 points; Cail Gerber hit the net 3 times fro mthe field for six points and Krick tallied one field goal. During most of the game the Yellow Jacket machine worked good, but on a few occasions the boys showed the effects of a three week lay-off. With the exceptio not Krick th eplayers came out of the game in g;od physical condition. In the preliminary two alumni teams battles! it out. The team composed of players coached by Herb Curtis defeated a team c m posed of players coach cd by former Decatur high school mentois. The final score was 19,-15.

Ry George H. Beale, I’P Staff Corresponedtn Pasadena, Calif., Jan. 2. — (U.R) — Georgia Tech, pride of the southland's gridirons, today is the uncrown ed king of 1928 elevens because of its sensational S to 7 victory over California in the annual tournament -of ■ Roses inter-sectional game here yes- ' terday. In one of the most colorful and ex citing games of the season, tile Golden Tornado, rated as the underdog before the game, swept down the field of Rose howl, packed with a crowd of 70,000 persons, and extinguished California's hopes of another intersectional victory for the west. The supreme sensation of the gridiron battle came when Captain-elect Roy Ring’s of California faced 66 yards and placed the ball on his own one-foot line. On the next play the Bears gave the Golden Tornado a safety—and, it developed, the game. Tech played the major part of its game on the ground, while California, baffled and played to a standstill during the first three periods, took to the air in the last quarter with a passing attack that carried it to within one point of a tie with the victorious southerners. Mizell and Thomason bore the brunt 'of the Tech offensive. They repeatedly crashed through the line and darted around end foi long gains. Behind Pond, Tech's giant center, Lampkin, fu.lback, battered California's line effectively. Waddey and Pund shone resplendently on the line, while back field honors seemed about evenly shared.

On the California team L m and Phillips were the outstandinp players Lorn handled the ball almost exclusive ly either carrying it himself or flipping long accurate passes to Phillips, star end of the Golden Hears. California's superiority in the ail was evident from the fact that the west coast team netted 125 yards from passes against 25 for Tech. Eisan and Barr turned in good performances, the former being particularly impressive in his punt returns. Phillips played a fast, heady game, but occasiona.ly was outrun or boxed in when Mizell or Thomason elected to try his end. Riegel's blunder came in the second quarter, after the Californians and southern invaders had battled up and down the field with neither scoring. Apparently confused, Reigels took Thomason's fumble on Tech's 30-yard line and, after a stop toward Tech’s goal, turned and raced down the sidelines, pursued by his teanflmate, Ben ny Lorn. The latter, however, did not overtake him until Riegels had nearly I crossed his own goal line. On the I next play Barr's kick from behind his goal line was blocked and the safety resulted. The California stands gave their captain-elect a rising cheer of confidence as with bowed head he walked voluntari y from the field, being replaced by Miller. Riegels came back in the second half, however, to play a terrific game that drew enthusiastic admiration from friend and foe alike. After stepping into a 2-point lead through Riegels' error, Georgia Tech hammered at the line through the remainder of the period and into the second half until Mizell’s 30 yard run carried the pigskin to California's 15yard stripe, where Thomason took it around Phillips' end for a touchdown. California's aerial assault began too late to overcome Tech's 8 point lead. Its only points were scored in the last quarter when the Lom-Phil.ips combination worked the ball down to the invader's 27 yard line. Eisan made 17 yards and then Lorn hurled the oval to Phillips for the touchdown. — Michigan, 32; Penn State, 11 Ann Arbor, Mich.. Jan. 2.—(U.R>— The University of Michigan basketball team defeated the Penn State team here last night. 32 to 11. it was the second defeat for the Peunsflvanda five, which lost to Northwestern 41 to 17 Monday night. Michigan led the scoring all the way.

The game was a close 1 guarding affair, ami both teams had I poor luck on the shots they obtained at the baskets. A packed house saw the game. The small gymnasium handicapped the visitors considerably, but they w.uld have emerged victorious had they made a fair per cent of their shots count, as they obtained many more shots than the locals. Mylott, captain of the Comm .’dores, was the leading scorer of the game with four | field goals. Gass, his running mate at I forward, sank three from the field. The Commodcres scored all of their 16 points on field goals, outscoring Andet son 8-7 from the field, but the locals rang up four points on free throws, i Andersen was leading at the end of the ■ half 7-6.

Field Goals L By Mark M. VpP Now that they have the Christmas vacation wolked out of their systems, Decatur basketball teams can settle down to business. C< himbia (Yty and Decatur both showed the effects of too much hull day celebration last night, but the visitors appeared to have imbibed in the celebration a little more freely than the Ye'low Jackets. We confidently believe that the Columbia City I quintet Is a much better ball club than last night's game would indicate. And we don't mean to subtract anything from Decatur's performance. Ijist night's game started out like the entire game was expected to b •. but after the first ten minutes, the thrills all disappeared. And the last ten minutes proved to be a nightmare. For the first ten minutes of the second half, the Yellow Jackets sure made whoopie. They scored 20 points before the Eagles added a singfie point to their total, running the score up to 38-11 The Holiday celebration showed its effects on the officials, also. Lundy Welborn is a much better official than his work of last night would indicate. But its only natural that the celebration should work on officials the same as players. Coach Murray Mendenhall, of Fort Wayne Central, appears to be taking the Yellow Jackets seriously this season. He scouted the game here last night, making a total of three Yellow Jacket games that lie has witnessed this fall. "Just what my boys needed,’’ remarked Coach Abie Devol, o>f Colum-
