PEP MEETING HELD ATD.C.H.S.

Pupils Urged To Support Commodores In Battle With Elder High Friday \ rousing pep session was held last night by the pupils of the Decatur Catholic high school and the St. Joseph grade school in preparation for the Commodores' game with Elder high, of Cincinnati. Ohio, here Friday night. Realizing that the pupils have not been backing their team as they should this year, and knowing that tbe Commodores will need all the encouragement they can get Friday night, the student manager called on the athletic director, Father Joseph Hession, to give a pep talk. Father Hession responded with a talk that fired every one of the pupils with enthusiasm. After recalling how loyally the Cincinnati people Iracked the Cincinnati Reds for fifty years before they won a pennant in baseball, giving the fans of that city a national reputation as people who are loyal, to their team, win or lose, Father Hession said: “up from that true sportsman’s town, on Friday of this week, will cotne a famous basketball team. A team that has won the championship of its state regularity. They will come to Decatur, a town that they remember from seeing its team at Chicago. They will expect to see the Commodores backed as Cincinnati backs her teams. What will they see? Will they see an almost empty cheering section like we have had at other games? Will they have to strain their eyes and ears to find the student body? Cincinnati boys wouldn't understand such disloyalty. That sterling sportsmanship which hacks the home team on all occasions, win or lose, is a sacred tradition to them and they will expect to find it here. They know our reputation for great teams and they will expect to see a great team backed by a house full of loyal fans.” Coach Laurent put the Commodores through a stiff workout after the pep meeting last night, all being in good shape except Art Miller, forward, who has not yet returned to school after his attack of influenza. The reserved seat tickets are on sale at the Eats Restaurant and are going better than for any game so far this season. Hence, the, Commodores look forward to a good crowd, Friday night.

Field Goals • -By Mark M. Upp • Kans are expecting the Conimodoies' game with Elder high, of Cincinnati, Ohio, here Friday night to be be one of the banner attractions of the present basketball season in Decatur. Elder high is considered the strongest Catholic high school quintet in Ohio, and has represented that state in the national Catholic tourney at Chicago for the last three years. A'Vith the Junior band on hands to pep things up and with a pledge from the Catholic school pupils to attend the game and root as they have never rooted before, the atmosphere ought to be properly charged with enthusiasm to make the game a dandy. Decatur high school officials were notified today that the Yellow Jackets game at Huntington Friday night will start at 7 o’clock, so that another attraction can be held in the gymnasium later in the evening. The Decatur and Huntington second teams wid clash at 6 o'clock. The Yellow Jackets will have a tough battle at Huntington. Any Huntington team is always hard to tiefeat at home. And this year's Viklng quintet is not without well-known veterans. Take the dimutive Petrie, 1,11 instance. He has figured prominently in Huntington athletics for i lie last four years and Decatur fans and players are well acquainted with his ability. Then there are Welch and Hosier who played last. year. The ' ow Jackets will have to play heads up basketball to keep their sue clean in the Northwestern Indiana conference. f l a ii ol n mbia Clty ’ 8 Eagles invade Ken- , , Vl . for a conference game FrikX/u Colum bia City defeated Kendallville at Columbia City earlier week" 3 Bea!>on and Bhoill d repeat this da7night° rt v layS at Logans P° r t Fr ‘- thst r es ’ we ' re thinking about two stall ga,ne between the ntets a couple of years ago,

They say that Coach Caso, of Frankfort, who attended the Muncie Redford game recently, stated while there that after the first semester ho would gain two players, who would become eligible then, and that after that." "nothing will beat us." Wonder where they hull from, "If yon hear about any good basketball teams, let us know about them —we need opposition.” writes Earl Connor, former Decatur fan, who encloses a couple of clippings from the Dayton, Ohio, papers extolling the virtues of Stivers’ high, the team that lias scored 199 points in nine games this season while holding their opponents to 111. Stivers, by the way. will play Carr Creek, Kentucky, the little cross-roads team which created such a sensation in the national tournament at Chicago last spring, in the near future. Earl even offers to do his best to get a game across the state line k Games this week for Adams county teams other than the Decatur quintets include: Friday night—New Haven at Berne, Union Center at Kirkland. Hartford at Chester Center. Monroe vs. Geneva at Decatur and Monmouth vs. Areola at Hoagland; Saturday night — Monmouth vs. Jefferson at Berne, Monroe vs. Monroeville at Decatur. Geneva at Kirkland. o PURDUE WINS; INDIANA LOSES Chicago, Jan. 9—(Special)—Sensational field scoring by Murphy, Purdue center, enabled the Purdue basketball team to win from the University of Chicago team 38-26 last night. Murphy threw baskets from all angles and scored eleven field g als. Gist, Chicago center, scored three field goals and one foul to tie the score in the second half after Purdue had led 19-12 when the second period opened. Besides his eleven field goals, Murphy acc .unted for three points from three throws. Gist, Chicago center, fed the Maroon scoting with five field goals and two free throws. Illinois, 20; Indiana 16 Champaign, 111., Jan. 9 —(UP) —Illinois sprung a surprise in big ten conference basketball circles by defeating the Indiana University team 20-16. The Indiana Loss could be attlibuted to inability . f the Hoosires to score from the foul line. They made only four out of eleven free throw tries. Both teams played carefully during the first half and the period ended (i-4 in Illinois’ favor. ’ 0

Simplicity of cooling system is a feature of the new Ford

A COMPLETE water plant is a part of every automobile as it is a part of every modern city. The purpose of this water plant is to keep the engine cooled to a temperature that will make it efficient in operation. If it were not for this, the cylinder walls would overheat and the pistous would refuse to operate. The cooling system of the new Ford is particularly interesting because it is so sinjple and reliable. When the radiator is full of water, the engine of the new Ford will not overheat under the hardest driving. Yet the action of the water is so regulated that it will not impair engine operation by running too cold in winter. The cooling surface of the Ford radiator is large and there are four rows of tubes, set in staggered position so that each receives the full benefit of the incoming air. The fan is of the airplanepropeller type and draws air through the radiator at the rapid rate of 850 cubic feet per minute

at 1000 revolutions per minute of the motor. The hot water around the cylinder head is drawn to the radiator to be cooled by a centrifugal water pump of new design. The entire cooling system of the new Ford is so simple in design and so carefully made that it requires very little attention. The radiator should be kept full of water, of course, and drained once each month so that sediment will not collect and retard the free passage of water. In cold weather a reliable anti-freeze solution should be added. As owner and manager of this important water plant, you should also see that the water pump and fan shaft are properly lubricated and the packing around the pump shaft kept in adjustment. The hose connections may also need replacement after long, continuous service. For those little adjustments, it pays to call on the Ford dealer. He works -under close factory supervision and he has been specially trained and equipped to do a competent job at a fair price.
