Decatur Retains County Second Team

CHAMPS BEAT JEFFERSON IN FINALS, 32-11 .Jefferson Team Is Tired Alter Two Hard (James Before Final Contest The Decatur high school seconds ro-| tallied their basketball championship when they clinched the County second ' team tournament with a 32-11 victory over the Jeffers, n high school utility j men, before a capacity crowd in the Herne Community gym, Saturday night. The younger Yellow Jackets were the logical winners, showing by far the greater team work and defensive and offensive power. Affording to statistics. they accounted for a total of Bf, points more than their opponents in three games. Decatur played consist tently a good brand of ball and at no time was hard pressed by contenders for the second team crown. George Roop, wearing the purple and gold colors for the first time in eight weeks, covered himself witli glory hy being high point man of the tournament, with thirty points. Hebble of Decatur, scored 24 points; Wen,lei, of Jefferson, 20 points, Lankenau of Decatur, 19; and Baker c.t Jefferson, 19 points. A number of other sharp-shooters blushed unseen in the final count, because an inoportune loss robbed them of sufficient tries at the net. 11. Lytle, ,-f Monmouth, probably hung up a record for foul shooting in second team tournaments by sinking seven out of eight chances at the basket. Dale Braun and Bill Windmiller did a fine job of officiating. They speeded up the games in spirte of the fact that in all except one the final outcome could be accurately predicted in the first half. In the finals, Decatur came on the floor fresh and eager for acti n. while Jefferson plainly showed the results of the two previous hard fought battles. The guarding of Lankenau, Kocher, and Hebble kept d wn the scoring power of the firmer stellar shots, namely Wendell, D. Hinshow and Baker The game was not up to standard for a final contest, as the one-side 1 32-12 score would indicate. Stoltz, one i of the best guards in the tournament, I led his team in scoring with two field goals ami iw ( > free throws. Hoop and Hebble led the Decatur attack with six and four field goals, respectively, j Decatur led at the end of the first , half, 19-8. , Decatur had little difficulty with i Berne in the afternoon session. Deca- < tur sank the ball from all angles, while t guarding Berne too close ft ir them to 1 get accurate shots at the basket. At the end of the first period, Decatur led 11-1. The game finished 21813 in De- , catur's favor. However, although his ] team won, Harry Hebble, Decatur cen- 1 ter wishes topost an award for the re- I turn of two teeth which he lost some- 1 where on the fl :or after a dive for the ball. in the second game of the semi-fin-als Jefferson defeated Hartford by the score 27-13. The Hartford boys were not the same team which defeated ' Kirkland in the morning contests. They appeared exhausted and could not recover their pep. At the half, the sci re lead 11-5 against them and Jefferson won the game, 27-13.

UppCongratulations to the young Yellow Jackets, who successfully defend ed their title as county second team champs. No doubt, several players who appeared on the different teams in the second team tourney will get n chance with their school’s varsity on the lsi.<s of their nice work in the tournament. Now for a game between the Adams and Wells county second team champs. The Commodores found the going hard at Indianapolis, Saturday night, and lost to Cathedral, but the state Catholic tourney will be a splendid time for revenge. Bluffton’s Tigers handed Manual of Indianapolis a 30-1.3 drubbing on Manual’s floor, Saturday night. Manual doesn’t have a record that is any too impressive, but nevertheless we join with Bluffton in rejoicing. Give It To Us "The Yellow Jackets should bo given a reasonable measure of credit if not a good deal, for trimming the Auburn quintet on their own floor. In a game with Auburn two weeks ago, the Tigeis of Bluffton also won, 29-28.” —Rip Offs, Bluffton News. Indiana University cagemen are running a eflose race with the Northwestern Wildcats for the prize as the season’s biggest disappointment. Games for Adams county quintets this week, according to the schedules in our hands, include: Wednesday night—New Haven at Decatur Catholic; Friday night—Decatur at Garrett, Kirkland at Berne; Saturday night — Crawfordsville at Decatur; Geneva vs. Hartford at Berne; Monroe vs. Decatur seconds at Decatur: Monmouth at Wren, Ohio. Fort Wayne Central had another close call, Saturday night. Dornte kiept the Tigers' slate clean by tipping in a field goal in the last 30 seconds of play to defeat Columbia City, on the South side floor, 27-26. Central plays South Side, Wednesday night, and if the Green Archers don't spoil Central’s record of no defeats, we miss our guess. The Commodores will have tough opposition in the New Haven Bull Dogs here Wednesday night. The New Haven team has lost several games, this season, but several of them have been by one-point margins. o HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL Central (Fort Wayne) 27; Columbia City, 26.

Petio Mylott, cap tain and forward of the Commodore team, got out of bed to make the trip Saturday and played only a part of the game. Bill Gass, running mate for Petie, was ill with the influenza and was able to play only part of each ha'.f. The Green and Gold reserves, who were sent in to take the places of the two star forwards, played hard, but were unable to cope with the sharpshooting of the Irish netters. Decatur played the Cathedral netmet to a standstill during the entire first halt. Just as the half closed, Cathedral pulled away for a 2-polnt lead, the half time score being 15-13 in favor of the Irish. Late in the second period. Cathedral got away with an offensive spree which netted lite Capitol City team a 10-point victory. Bill Gass, who played part of the game for the Commodores, was high point man with a total of 12 points ,and Gallagher, of Cathedral, was high point man for his team witli 12 points. Coach Laurent was forced to use nine men in the game becamfe of the inability of Gass and Mylott to play the whole game. Saturday's victory for Cathedral evens the series with the Commodores. On December 15, Decatur defeated the Indianapolis netmen 43-12, on the local hardwood. Lineup and summary: Decatur FG FT T Gage, f.

Fristoe by his son, True, who is traveling through Missouri with a musical comedy company, just now. "Uncle” Jim says he feels the words were just written for him, but a lot of folks feel much the same way: “Still A Democrat’’ They carried California; slaughtered us in Maine; The echoes shout their victory from Halifax to Spain; They made a hole in Alabam; they dented Tennessee; They knocked ’em cold in old Misson, but they never routed me. They smashed our dreams to smithereens; our hopes to a cocked hat But there still is one tliey couldn't touch; I’m still a Democrat. 'Twas ten thousand votes for Hoover; eight thousand votes for Al; I bet my shoes; my cash; my socks; I never did like Cal. And as returns kept pilin' in 1 knew I was out of luck; But still I claimed li’l old New York and yelled for ole Kentuck. Now it’s the mornin',after; my ciaimer's busted fiat; But cashless, shoeless, sockless, folks. I'm still a Democrat. Illinois w-ent Republican and Floyd E. Thompson fell, Looks like the whole durn country’s Completely gone to-—well, I dunno where it's gone but here's something for you, mates; When my turn comes to shuffle off and try the pearly gates, And ole St. Peter hears my knock and hollers, “Who is that?’’ I'll say “Old boy, throw wide the gates; Here comes a Democrat.” —“Admiral” Paul Jones in Lyons News.

KIRKLAND LOSES IN UPSET, 29-27 The Rockcreek Dodgers, of Wells county, upset the dope Saturday night ami defeated tiie Kirkland high school Kangaroos, on the Kirkland floor, 2927.

Purdue stepped into tne conference lead Saturday night by defeating Indiana 29-23( while Michigan, . which has won four anti lost none, was idle. The Indianans put up a hard fight and were out in front in the second half but Murphy finally tallied the Boilermakers into a winning stride. In the flier game tonight. Minnesota plays at Indiana in a game which should cause the Hoosiers little trouble. Minnesota has been beaten in everyone of its four starts. But it played its best game against Indiana and lost by only one point margin on the Gopher home-floor. Howtvei, Indiana is a much improved team, and should win easily on its home-f'i or. Only one other conference game will be played this week. Saturday night, Chicago meets Ohio State. The Maroons looked better against Illinois last Saturday than in any c.inference game of the season and lost by only a three point margin, 22-19.

On the other hand gray covered Bildes go like hot cakes in the tropics. These facts were disclosed by a visit t a the British and Foreign Bible Society's headquarters where a greatly variety of Bibles are now on exhibit. "The Englishman's choice of black for the cover of his Bible apjtefirs to be based on the tact that in the first place, black, as a color stands up to hard usage better than lighter colored covets, and in the second that in the past people considered that black symbolized sacredness, and that tradition still holds true,” declared publishing superintendent G. Gowan in an interview. 'ln lite it pie.-, however, people seem to be actuated by a Brighter Bibles Movement.” For instance, we never send black Bibles to South America. On account of those different tastes we have to carry in stock Bibles liound in a great variety of colors."
