Berne at Union City, Monroe vs. Pennville at Decatur, Jefferson vs. Geneva at Portland, Monmouth at Hoagland; Saturday night—Decatur Catholic at Cathedral of Indianapolis, Rockcreek at Kirkland, Bryant vs. Hartford at Berne. The date for the Decatur-Crawfords-ville game, given as Jan. 20 in the schedule book, is incorrect. Crawfordsville will play the Yellow Jackets here on Saturday night, January 26. The Yellow Jackets showed a little improvement at Mishawaka Saturday 'light over their performance at Huntington the night previous. Had the two teams played ball for the entire 40 minutes instead of choosing to stall for a large part of the time, Decatur probably would have won by a larger margin. Mishawaka fans and the coach said it was the best game Mishawaka had played this year. Joe Krick got into the Mishawaka game for about ten minutes and his injured knee did not seem to bother him much. Barring further injury, is expected to be in shape to go 'he full game at Auburn F'riday night. f arl Gerber played the entire game at Mishawaka without a personal foul being called on him. At Huntington on Friday night, the officials failed tour in him in about 25 minutes. The game at Mishawaka was ■ etereed much closer than the one at Huntington. George Roop and John Beery, two

Yellow Jackets who have been ineligible on account of low grades for lhe last six weeks, are expected to become eligible again F’riday. The Commodores are expecting a stiff battle when they tneen Cathedral on the luttur’s floor Saturday night, despite the fact that Cathe dral was easily disposed of in a game here several weeks ago, 43-12, Cathedral has away of winning bull games on their own floor and losing several away from home. The capital city h’ys defeafed Washington Catholic, at Indianapolis and then lost to Washington by a one-sided score at Washington. "The unlooked-for certainly Rappened and in largo quantities. Huntington defeated Decatur, 43-25. ’ —Markin’ ’em up, Newcastle Courier. Yeh, Technical, 41; Newcastle, 23. Bluffton played at Auburn Friday night and won, 29-28. Captain Stebing, of Auburn, was unable to play on account of sickness. With Auburn leadin. 26-14, in the second half, Huffman, Auburn guard, was removed from the game via the four personal foul route. Decatur defeated Auburn 41-21. Now- read the following paragraph taken from the column “Rip Offs" in the Bluffton News: “We regretted to see the YellowJackets trimmed at Huntington. Not only do we consider the Decatur institution of learning a friendly neighbor, but. we -were looking forward to a hot scrap when the YellowJackets are to come here for the last game of the season. Huntington won over Decatur, yet the Vikings lost to Bluffton a week ago by a count of 49 to 34. The way the dope is coursing, the Tigers should be counting on a certain victory in their second game of the season with Decatur.” We'll settle for all these Bluffton wise cracks on February 22. Huntington’s Joy “It is the writer’s opinion that Huntington high school played one of the best games of basketball ever played on the local floor against Decatur last night. It is not so much the fact that they made a sufficient nuinber of baskets to win by an eighteenpoint margin, and that the playing of every member of the team was spectacular, as it was the spirit with which they played. “The Vtkjngs have played other good games on the local floor and away from home, winning some and losing others, but they have never yet displayed quite the amount of determination to win that was evidenced against the Yellow Jackets. Many times the Norse have started games in the whirlwind fashion which last night’s game was started, orily to dwindle out in the second half. But last night the fight carried on from beginning to end.”—Huntington Herald. K. H. S. SECONDS SEAT MONMOUTH After trailing at the end of the half the Kirkland high school second team tallied in the second half cf a game with the Monmouth high school varsity, at Kirkland, Saturday night, to walk off with n 26-13 victory. Monmouth was held to one point in the second half. At the end of the first half, Monmouth led, 12-9, but three of Coach Haggard’s boys went out on personals in the second period and the substitutes were unable to stop the Kangaroos reserves. Parrish and Brokaw, forwards and Lewton, guard, were the three sent to the shower via the personal foul route. Schlickman, of Kirkland, also committed four personals and was forced cut of she game. In the preliminary, the married men of Kirkland township defeated the single men, 20-16.

Mishawaka grabbed an early lead and was ahead at the end of the half, 14 to After going into the lead at 13-6 the home team chose to stall and the Yellow Jackets were content to take things easy, also, but gradually crept up on their opponents. Decatur forged ahead in the second half and the Yellow Jackets decided to play Mishawaka's game of stalling. Joe Krick, veteran Decatur guard, who has been out of the game with an injured knee for two weeks, played the last five .minutes of the first half and was forced out of the game on personal fouls when the sceond half was only rive minutes old.

He was able to return with the team, Sunday afternoon, however, and is expected to be out for practice in a day or two. * Mishawaka played its best game of the season, according to the coach and fans.
