KIRKLAND WINS FROM NEW HAVEN Coming from behind in the closing minutes of a fiercely contested basketball game. Kirkland high school Kangaroos made it two straight since their re-entrance Into the J. 11. S. A. A. January 1. by defeating the New Haven high school Bull Bogs, 26-25 at the Kirkland gymnasium Saturday night. The game was a thriller all the way through, and the lead changed hands several times each half. Meyets. Kirk and center. Schlickman. Kirkland guard, Mason. New Haven guard, and Sleet, New Haven forward left the game in the second period on four personal fouls. Twenty-nine personal fouls were called during the 40 minutes of play and. at times, the game bordered on the extremely rough. Both teams played hard all the way through, and the close guarding by both quintets held the score down. In the first three minutes of the first half, neither team was able to penetrate the enemy defense. Oettinger, Kangaroo forward, hit the net for the , first score of the game. A free throw and field goal in quick , order put the visiting Bull Dogs in . the lead. After an exchange of the; lead, New Haven pul ed away to a | slight advantage over the locals and ; continued to hold the lead at the half, ' the score being 14-10. The Kangaroos were instilled with a new spirit as the second half started and, in a few minutes, the count was tied at 14-all. The score see- j sawed back and forth during the rest of the game. With the Bull Dogs holding a 2point lead, at 22-20, the Kangaroos started a rally which carried them to the single point victory. Kirkland I ran the score up to 26 and shortly before the final gun sounded. New Haven made a free throw and a fielder, bringing the final score up to 2625, with the Adams county champions in the lead. The crowd which witnessed the game got all the thrills possible in a high school net game and tile two teams had the audience on its feet t most of the time.

DFCATI’R DAILY DEMOCRAT MONDAY, JANUARY 7,

Field Goals Ry Mark M. Vpp Adams county teams wore victorious in nil Inter-county battles last wet-kind with the exception of the Berne Montpelier affair at Berne Saturday night, included in the list of triumphs were two victories over , Wells county fives, namely Union Center and Petroleum. Tra, la, la. The Yellow Jackets' wel-earned victory over Angola here Friday night, with a revised lineup on the floor, was a pleasing occutence of the week-end. Last year, when the Yellow Jackets played their first game after Joe Krick injured his knee, forcing him out of the lineup, they were a badly disorganized outfit and went ‘down to defeat at the hands of the 1 Bluffton Tigers here. Although they ; showed considerable nervousness, the , locals played a heady game against 1 Angola and appeared to be well organ- . I ized throughout the battle. . Angola, despite the fact that the team has lost four games, has one I sf the best quintets in the Northeast--1 ern Indiana conference. Three of the four losses have been of the one- | point variety. Coach Druekami.ler, of 1 Angola, is a smart coach. He is not I 1 new man in the game, either, having been coach of the scrappy little Syracuse team that caused a stir at the finals of the state tourney in Indianapolis a few years ago. Brokaw, Angola forward, is the best forward seen on the local hardwood this season, in our estimation. He does about everything a conch could expect a forward to do. The Commodores' 25-14 victory over C. C. H. S. of Fort Wayne Friday night, sure silenced the over-ent hugiastic Irish supporters. They could find no alibi for that defeat. Coach Laurent pu led a fast one on Coach Koehl, of C. C. H. S„ when he | started his two forwajds, Gass and Mylott, at guard, and sent ids guards 1 in at forwatd. As a result, the F. rt • Wayne boys were highly confused I when the game started and didn't 1 know whose man was who. Petie and Bill crashed down the floor for a hasi ket apiece in short order. You Thought Wrong. Gene "Decatur won from Angola by one ( point, 29 to 2-X, and we pause to ask I Mark M .Upp for a little explanation. 1 Its a fact, we didn't think these farj northern teams were that tough.”— Markin' 'em I'p. Newcastle Courior. 1 Bluffton's 49 34 victory over the ; Huntington Vikings at Bluffton last I Friday night is a noteworthy accom--1 plisliment, especially since the Tigers 1 had lost a majority of their previous encounters. Probably a little comment from Huntington and Bluffton would not come in amiss here. Gives Credit To Tigers "There is no alibi to offer for the Viking defeat last night at Bluffton. The Tigers were simp y hitting a st.ide that any team would find hard to beat. Pyle and Barrington were , hitting the .basket from all angles, and although they were allowed many open shots, they seldom missed. Huntingtoil made the same mistake which was committed in the Fort Wayne Central game — letting their opponents get under the basket before attempting to stop them.”—“D. A. G.", Huntington Herald. The first two paragraphs of the staff cot respondent's account of the game in Hie Hera.d doesn't quite coincide : with the above paragraph. Here they are: "Huntington high school exhibited the worst basketball shown thus far this season at the community building here tonight, allowing Coach Lewis 1). Means' Tigers to take a Northeastern conference victory by the top-heavy score of 49 to 34. The visitors trailed at the half 23 to 13, Poor defense tactics in ihe first half and during the greater part of the I second period coupled witli the inability to lilt the hoop were the main contributors to the Viking defeat. In addition to that their passing attack failed to function ahd a l players I seemed to have difficulty in holding J the ball." .1 Plans To Compare Notes , “Decatur Yellow Jackets gave the . Angola team a trimining ou the Decatur floor Friday evening and we [ congratulate Markem's team on the II victory.

The following weekend, they play at Auburn on Friday night and meet Crawfordsville here an Saturday night. Huntington. Mishawaka. Auburn and Crawfordsville in a row and within two weeks will lie a pretty decent test for the Curtismen. we mean. Elder High, of Cincinnati, the teain that defeated the Commodores at Cincinnati last year, 22-19, will invade Decatur for the first time next Friday night, for a game with Coach Laurent’s five. This wi.l he the only game of the week for the Commolores. Art Miller. Commodore forward who i was taken sick at Anderson on New Years day, returned home yesterday, after spending several days in the hospital there. Although Art is feeling much better, he is still pretty weak and probably will he out of the game for another week or two.

He has a ■ list of suggestions in Saturday's pap- ! er that took us 51 seconds to read, j Cash, by the way, is fitting into Southern Indiana basketball gossip splendidly. GREAT TRIBUTE TO BE PAID RICKARD New York. Jan. 7—(U.R) — The greatest tiibute ever accorded a .igure in the sporting world will be paid Tex Rickard when the body of the promoter reaches here at 10:19 1 a.m. tomorrow aboard "The Havana Special.” Officials of the Campbell Funeral parlors on upper Broadway where Rickard’s body will lie in state estimated that crowds rivalling those which viewed the body of the late Rudolph Valentino would pay their respects to the promoter. Even though Rickard’s body is not scheduled to arrive until tomorrow morning, thousands went away from the Pennsylvania station this morning disapgxiinted waiting hours for the train. Arrangements were started today to have Rickard’s body lie in state at Madison Square Garden, but the pro'll am of sporting events already scheduled there this week probably will prevent any such plans culminating. * New York, Jan. 7.—(U.R)—The sport world has lost one of its most colorful and predominant figures in George L. (Tex) Rickard, who died early Sunday at Miami Beach, Florida, of infection following in operation for appendicitis.

A beloved and incurable romantist. ■ wlio retained to the high moments, when his vision of "million-dollar-gates” came true, tlie same enthusiasm which had stood him in good stead in tlie days of cow punching, gold-mining, and gambling in tlie far west. Rickard met death peacefully in his sleep. "Mr. Rickard's death resulted from an overwhelming infection following acute gangrenous appendicitis,” Dr. E. H. Adkins, who operated upon Tex on New Year's day, stated in a brief official bulletin. When the promoter passed away at 8:37 a.m. Sunday, after lieing unconscious for two hours, his young wife and a close friend.
