VIKINGS AVENGE FORMER YELLOW JACKET STINGS Huntington High School Five Win Rough Game From D. H. S., 43-25 A bunch of big bail Huntington high school Vikings lured the Decatur high school Yellow Jackets down to their ••cracker box" last night and proceeded to avenge three straight basketball .leVents In the last two years, drubbing the Cut tinmen 43-25. In a rough and tumble net <■ ntest. played be ore a hooting crowd of typical Huntington . funs. Both teams made several efforts to Iday basketball, but the game got completely away from the officials, John Miller. < f Andeiaon. and Homer Slone hteaker, of'Logansport, and after the opening minutes of the first half, the game avocated from basketball to what appeared to be a 10-man riot The Yellow Jackets entered the tray minus the assistance of Joe Krick, regular back-guard, who was injured in the Columbia City game two weeks ago and Carl Gerber, the only other veteran of the Jacket aggregation, was forced out of the game early in the second half via the personal foul r.ute, cutting short a Decatur rally. Huntington started early on an offensive spree, hitting the net from all corners of the hardwood. Decatur played hard, and, after a shift in the lineup, the locals managed to get within ' Hi points of the Vikings at the end of the first half, the score being 23-13. , The Curtismen started strong in the second stanza, and in less than a minute were within 7 points of their opponents. At this point of the game. Carl Gerber was sent to the showers < on four ppisona! fouls. TUp incident j left the Jackets without an experienc- ' ed player on the floor, and, although 1 they fought until the last second nt I the game, the Vikings were able tn run i up their score to 43 points. In the matinee performance, the Huntington second team won from the I Yellow Jacket Reserves 17-16. The first half of the preliminary was completely one-sided and the half ended with Decatur trailing 11-3. Decatur went into 1 the lead with less than a minute tn play, and for a while it appeared as it p the locals had the game won. A Han-jt tington forwatd sank a long field goal t and the gun ended the game 17-lb p Just before the varsity started, the £ <-ustodiaus were called to the floor to | sweep up a hr ken hip flask w.tich p had fallen to the floor from the Hun-p tington section of the stands. c Lineup and summary: !f Decatur FG FT TP j J Cole f 3 » 4:1 J.

Field Goals By Mark M. Upp Another morning after. And another Buckeye bit the dust. The Commodores added a lit*!*prestige to their record by defeating the Elder high quintet, of Cincinnati, here last night. The game was a deft ttsive b: ttle and the locals defended l»est. The Yellow Jackets were only a shad w of their real selves in their game with Huntington last night. Coupled with their crippled lineup and ragged playing, was Huntington’s "on" night Mark up a Viking triumph. Coach Curtis used fine judgment, n our estimation, in not sending Joe Krick, the veteran back guard, into the game last night. A rough tytd tumble affair likje that one is no place tot a l>oy with a bad knee. The Vikings deserved to win from th° Yellow Jackets last night. They were hot on their shots and they got plenty. The team was pointed for this game and, evidently, their sights wete well adjusted. At that, we believe the Yellow Jackets eould have pulled the game out. of the fire, ’if Gerber had not been forced out on

pere rials. Better hick tonight in Mishawaka, Yellow Jackets. Ehlei high presented the stiffest defense encountered so far this sea sin by the Commodores. But the Commodores put up one of their best defensive battles of the season, also lAs a result, both offensives looked | weak. Jasper Academy defeated Elder high hist week. This Jasper outfit will boar watching in the state Catholic tourney. Monroe went to town in the second half last night and brought home ■ a nice flock of Geneva Cardinals ! Needless to say, the victory was I greatly appreciated in Monroe. It. tcok Kirkland's Kangaroos six-1 teen minutes last night to put their, l machine 'into high, but once they did.; | Union Center didn't have a look-in. i I The Wells county team had its trill | strength back last night, too. The .New Haven Bull Dogs lost | their second one-point defeat to ,n. Adams county team in less than a week when they were nosed out byBerne last night, 31-30. The Kirkland Kangaroos turned back the Bull Dogs. 26-25 last Saturday night. Talk about Ivall game. Martinsville and Vincennes must have stage! nothing else hut. last night. Three overtime periods were necessary before Vincennes could claim a 41-39 victory. This One By Special Delivery Dear Mark M. Uipp: I have been noticing your writeup on the two local high schools here lately, and certainly with your praise of the two »<»ams a"d vour advance dope l there is no reason why both gyms should • ~ ho fl'ted to the roof. More so the C. mmodores' gym. lam sure that out of a town of 5.000 population, there are at least 500 full-blooded basketball fans and. with the high class opposition that they take on. there should, at no time, be a vacant seat. I ask you why it is? What is It the people have against these 'Commies." Do they demand a ! money-back guarantee? Your whole supporter. Elastic. A Fluttering Cardinal Dear Mark. 1 I drop you a few lines to let you know- that the Geneva "Cardinals” |' are feeling fine. We are playing bet-,' ter ball this year than the last lew 1 years. Right now our standing is ■ 500, and going up! We have one player, namely. Hawtbaker,. center, who should make them all set up ‘ and take notice. In the short time of 32 minutes of playing he made 14 i field goals the other night against 1 Monmouth. I think that tiiis is tile I best record made by any player in ( ■ the county this year. So far this: year he has made 59 f'e'd goals and 14 foul tips, a total of 132 points. He has obtained all these with the best 1 of sportsmanship .having played for the last three years without ever be- ! ing forced out of the game on fouls. • When we journey to your city Fri- I day night for a game with Monroe, set-up and take notice, as we are cut for revenge for the game that they 1 beat us last year at Berne. —A Fluttering “Cardinal" I — n Boxer.

COMMODORES RALLY TO WIN FROM OHIO FIVE I Decatur Catholic High Quintet Defeats Elder High, Os Cincinnati, 18-16 A rally late in the last half enabled the Decatur Catholic high school Commodores to defeat the highly I touted Elder high team of Cincinnati. 118-16, here last night. Neither team could hit. its stride in the first half, ending the period with a score of 8-6 |in Elder's favor. Bertke, the tall, I fast Cincinnati forward, scored 11 of 'the visitor's 111 points, while Mylott rolled in 4 field goals and a free throw for the winners. The game was si w from a spectator's point of I view, due to the tight guarding of both teams. The taller Ohio team got the ball at the first tip-off" and, shooting, occasionally, and missing as often, held the ball under the Commodores’ basket for the first five minutes. A free throw by Knime and one by Mylott gave the locals their first lead. Bertke with a short side shot evened the score in a few minutes. Bet Ike counted up two one-pointers and Wemhoff, Coffee, Beckman and Sanders each added two points, before file first gun was fired. The second half started like a game of blackman. each team, when it had the hall, strating a slow-break-ing offense which ended in losing the ball under the opposite goal. For nearly ten minutes, neither scored a field goal. Wetnhoff left the game after an accumulation of four personals, and Gage, who replaced him, went to forward, and Gass moved back to the pivot position. At length, Bertke dropped in a two-bagger, making the score 10-6. Shortly thereafter Mylott came through with a long one-handed side shot and Gass followed to tie the score. Three more long ones by Mylott and a foul apiece by Gass and Mylott put the game on ice for the Commodores. Bertke, with about three minutes to .go, brought the game within two points of a tie by an under-the-baslret shot. Both teams displayed an effective defense an d most of the shots were from long range. The vistors played pretty much a professional type of game, taking tilings cool and easy. They were unable to break through ♦he Commodores' defense for many short shots, however. In the opening game, the basket shooting of Holthouse, lx>se and K'einhenz, of the Catholic higli school second team, defeated the St. J seph Eighth grade team, 19-8.

FIVE RIG TEN GAMES TONIGHT Chicago, Jan. 12.-(U.R>~ Barely a week old. the western conference basketball season already has brought out the unusual spectacle of seven teams meeting daily defeat and another fighting its way into a position where it needs but to win tonight s game to become a champion favorite. | All of the ten teams play tonight but the Michigan-L wa game stands out as the headliner because a Wolverine victory will mean that Hie Ann Arbor team must be given a good chance to win the 1929 title. The schedule allows Michigan to escape playing the strong Purdue and Indiana teams and also Chicago this year. Already the Wolverines have conquered Wisconsin and North-we.-tern. These two, coupled with lowa, made up Michigans' Strongest opposition. o Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays
