YELIOW JACKETS HEAT AUBURN IN CONFERENCE TILT Curtismen, With Full Strength Back In Lineup, Play Well To XV in, 35*25 Decatur high school Yellow Jackets 1 defeated Auburn high school for the .■or nd time this season, at the Auburn high school gymnasium last night, 35 25. The game was fast and interesting, and Auburn threatened the Curtismen throughout the early minutes of the game. It was Decatur's fourth conference victory of the season. Defying the elements more than 50 Decatur fans journeyed to Auburn through the mud and rain to see the game. It was the first time in the last three weeks that the entire Yellow Jackets squad was in good physical condition and Coach Curtis started Krick and Schnepp at guard positions Cole, at center, and Gerber and J' hnnle Engle at forwards. During the early minutes of the game, the large floor and the flood lights thrown on the baskets baffled the Yellow Jackets. After Decatur had missed two or three shots, Hathaway Auburn center, broke loose for a field goal and Davison followed with a pair of fielders. Bob Cole made good a free throw, fjr Decatur's first point and shortly afterwards Davison sank his third 2pointer of the game. After taking time out Decatur rallied and went into the lead 10-8, never to be headed. Cole, Gel her, Schnepp and .1. Engle all hit the net tor two fielders and Krick snagged one 2 pointer during the ! first half. The scare at the half way maik was 22-14 in favor of Decatur. Decatur scored almost at will during I the early part of the second half and, with 10 minutes remaining to play, the Curtis men began playing a slow offensive rnrc--. which Anbnrn was unable to solvo. After running the se re up to 33-21 l the Jackets slowed down anil Coach j Curtis sent Reynolds. Deßolt and Dick I Engle into the fray. Just a.i the game I ended, Reynolds snagged a field goal making the final score 35-25. Hathaway and Davidson were the best for Auburn, while the Decatur soaring was evenly divided and the entire Yellow Jacket squad appeared to have had new life injected in it. Joe Krick, playing his first full game since his injury three weeks ago, was string on defense and on many occasions he rushed the ball down on offensive l plays. Gilbert and Welborn, of Fort Wayne did what officiating there was. Lineup and summary: Decatur FG FT TP Gerber f 4 0 8 J. Engle, f 3 17 Deßolt f 0 0 0 Cole c 3 2 8 I).

,CENTRAL WINS • EIGHTH GRACE ; TITLE OF CITY Blue And White Quintet Defeat St. Joe In Close i ( Game, 22-16 8 , For the fist Hine since it was donat- . ed two years ago by George Wemhoff, well-known Decatur basketball fan, the I) I marble basketball trophy known as ( the George Wen. toss trophy and significant of the-eighth grade basketball championship :f the city, reposes within the red brick walls of Central. Central captured tile trophy last night by winning a well-earned victory lover St. Joe, in the Catholic school gym, by a score of 22-16. The game was h'itly contested all the way and so excited did the youthful followers of the two teams become, that it was impossible for the players to hear 1 the referee’s whistle many times. Beaten 44-15 in their first game ■ with Central a few weeks ago, St. J' e entered last night’s battle the underdog. The big Blue and White quintet was expected to win last night’s encounter without much difficulty. But the scrappy little St. Jae team keyed up and well directed by their new coach, Milt Swearingen, carried the fight to Central and threw a big scare into Coach Thomas' quintet. St. J 1 e took a 3-0 lead, but Central tied it up. Then St. Joe forged ahead again 7-3, only to have the champs tie the count at 1-all. Central then shot into a 10-9 lead, but St. Joe came right back and went ahead, 11-10. Just before the half ended, Central regained the lead and the period ended witli thf winners holding a 13-12 advantage. Cential increased the lead t'j 17-12 shortly after the second half opened, when Buffenbarger and Bulkhead hit pretty field goals. St. Joe kept within a few points of Central during the I remainder of the game. i St. Joe played a delayed offense ai gainst Central last night, and worked pt well. Klepper was the main threat. , Bulkhead, Central guard, was the out- ' standing player of the game. Besides ■ a strong defensive game, he led his team in scoring with four baskets and three free throws.

Upp Too much basketball and not enough time for comment. We want to take time today, howevet, to congratulate Cential on winning the city eighth grade title, and St. Joe on the scrappy and unexpected battle which they staged last night. That was the kind of game that inspired George Wemhoff to donate the beautiful marble trophy. George certainly enjoyed that battle last night. The Yellow Jackets did themselves proud last night, too. A 10-point victoryover Auburn on the latter's floor this season should be highly prized. M’.nroe came to the front last night in beating the strong Pennville Bull Dogs here last night, 30-20.

While only rounding onl its tnr 1 anniversary, the Pontiac Six enters antn.< isai.’. definitely nnon Us fourtn yun -* established volume leader, in whi position officials of the Oakland Motor Car Company are confident more firmly entrench ilsell by reason of the extraordinary value eviden in AR* > ho f dies f a r re 1 entirely new. the line including a 2-door sedan, eoune sport roadster with folding Sle seat, and a landaulet sedan The ’ast two types are innovations in the Pontiac line, having the appearance of custom built bodies. Outstanding features contributing tn the extraordinary performance of the new ear are a larger and more powerful engine: new counter-weight-ed crankshaft; new harmonic ba.ancer- new international self-energizing brakes: new rear axle; new transmission; larger carburetor, intake manifold and valves: wider springs with new shackles self-adjusting w«ar; increased valve list, and new Hotchkiss drive. , Striking now body creations by Fisher impart to the entire line individuality hnd custom-ike features entirelv new in the Pontiac price class. From the gleaming high radiator shell to the gracefully molded rear panel, harmonious lines and brilliant chrome finished exterior •hardware radiate smartness, distinction and individuality. The shell of the radiator, narrow and built up to 35 inches in height, gives to the front the appearance of power and fleetness borne out by the performance of the car. No emblem or name plate marks the front of the radiator shell, but the familiar "Chief Pontiac" radiator cap ornament is retained. A chrome plated bar extends vertically from top to bottom of the ladiator core. larger fenders, fall crowned and with a beaded edge, flare out in a g.aceful sweep over the smart low v.heels. A forged fender tie rod replaces the pressed steel rod and lamp support formerly used. Headlamps on four body types come in fuli chrome plate, while on the remaining models the rims are chrome plated. A full side view shows to best advantage the original lines of the new cat. The slightly arched window design, with new panelinr effort h°-

tween the windows; a high waist line, and unique new concave moulding distinguish the Fisher bodies. This new be t moulding starts at the cowl and completely encircles the, body. It is not continued down the hood, as in the Oakland models, but a new curved pillar line, quite similar in appearance to one of America's costliest cars, runs from the center j panel on the cowl down to the rear of the hood. A smart new louvre grouping sets j the car instantly apart in traffic. Instead of in the conventional manner, all are grouped in one panel and extend horizontally across the nood. A slender and brilliantly finished towl band with parking lamps adds to the exterior beauty of appearance. All closed bodies have adjustable drivers seats, smart new sun visor, slender ebony finish 17-inch steering wheel, ebony finish instrument panel i luminated by two hooded bulbs, Delco-Remy combination transmission and ignition lock on dash, depressibl? beam headlights operated by toot contro', new approved combination tail light, stop light, and license support, larger Delco-Remy motor driven horn, automatic windshield cleaner, rear view mirror, theft-proof door locks and exclusively designed running board mats. Upholstery material in the closed I models is of mohair, corduroy, or velour in solid colors mateching the smart new exterior Duco combinations. Open types are upholstered in Spanish leaner trimmed in Fabrikoid„ with tops of grey clothteal. Massive ten-spoke artillery wheels with large hubs and flanges and 29 by 5.00 straight side balloon tires are standard on all models. Special equipment consisting of six wire wheels with an extra wheel mounted on each front fender, may be had with all models at slight extra cost. The proven cross-flow radiator, introduced to the industry for the first time at the 1928 Automobile Show on the Pontiac Six, is retained but in larger size. The frontal core area now totals 398 square inches. Thermostatic water temperature control . is built into the water outlet on the non-detonating, high compression G-M-r cylinder head, which is retained in two sections. The increased bore and stroke of the larger L-head engine develop 57 brake horsepower at 3,000 R.P.M.... Cylinder displacement is 200 cubic inches against 186 last year, and bore and stroke measure respectivelv 3 5-16 by 3 7-8 inches. The redesigned crankshaft, statica'ly and dynamically balanced, is fully counterweighted to accomodate the increased power outlet of the engine. The crankshaft and counterweigh* s total 53 pounds. A new harmonic balancer, similar in principle and design to the one developed for the Oakland All-American Six, is fitted to the latest Pontiac to eliminate any vibration or crank shaft torsion likely to be developed by the enlarged power plant The balancer is mounted on the front end of the crankshaft, outside the crank case and forms a unit with the fan drive pnlley. an 1 The new and larger three-port in-

Improvements in the transmissia include a ten spline main drivia shaft, which decreases wear hewn of the larger friction and driving m faces between the shaft and slidii gears. More accurate gear alignmen and consequent reduction of ga noise is another advantage. A new gear tooth form gives 1 increased length of sliding contae resulting in quieter gear operation! all speeds and decreased wear

A sturdy new rear axle r exact! the same type as used on the cnrrei Oakland model marks another h portant feature of the new I’ontiai ,It is semi-floating, with spiral beti drive gears, and heat treated ehrom nickel steel shaft. Along with the stronger and bettt rear axle a change was made froi t :e torque tube drive formerly tw to the Hotchkiss drive principl thus adding the advantages of tl Oakland type drive to the Poniig Accordingly, the new Pontiac has'« universal joints and a tubular drit shaft. Brakes denote advantages on those formerly used. They are th now Oakland-developed mechanic! type, internal expanding on all fol wheels, and self’energizing. Opera ing on 10 5-8 inch drums, they pn vide an effective brake lining area < 194 square incnes. Tile new parkin brake operating on the transmissio main drive-shaft provides 27.7 sqwt inches of additional area.
