YELLOW JACKETS ' BEAT ELWOOD IN : LAST HOME GAME; —— r Curtismen Win Easy Canu?,.. 53-23; Seconds Defeat I Monmouth, 42 To 19 More Than a thousand Yellow Jacket basketball fans watched the 29 basket bull curtain drop at the local gymnasium last evening as Decatur romped, rough shod, over Elwood high school to avenge a defeat hand- N Jd the Curtismen at Elwood last year. K The final score was 53-23 and i n Jackets scored almost at will, alter ■ r the first few minutes of the game. ti When the final gun -«»' ed ’ Yellow Jacket stars walked off the f, floor never to return to the local hard i< wood representing Decatur hig e school in a regular scheduled game. It was the swan song for Joe Krick. Bob Cole and John Engle and all three ended their long service tn a f idaze of glory. Johnnie Engle and t! .pIR, ».l )«■ KrteC. “ playing one of his beet defensive games in four years, caged two fieldElwood center, started the scoring when he sank a field goal from near the foul line. Boh Cole. . Engle, Deßolt and Gerber then took successful shots at the basket and in a short time Decatur had a comfort- g able lead. , It Referee Chambers kept the .game clean and called several close fouls during the first half. The rest period ( gave the Yellow Jackets a 23-6 advantage over tire visitors. The Jackets continued to pile up i a lead in the second period. Schnepp | & went in for Deßolt and D. Engle and Roop were sent into the lineup. The j Elwood regulars, who were unable to cope with the steady playing of the . Curtismen, did no better when the ■ substitutions were made. On one 1 occasion, the Elwood coach protested t a ruling of Umpire Gunner Elliot and was fouled for coming out on the floor, without permission of the officials. | Abcut the middle of the second l half, the starting lineup again went| t( into the fray and played several , p minutes. Just as the game ended,, b the reserves had returned. The final it score was 53-23 and marked the clots-i n ing of a successful homo season. The Curtismen have two more games, both away from home. On next Friday g night, the Jackets journey to Fort t( Wayne where they meet Central of t( Fort Wayne at North Side gymnas- fj him. More than 500 fans are planning on 1E attending the game next Friday. t . Every comparison of scores of var- g ions games indicates Decatur has a 8 , good chance to defeat Central. Mur-1 tl ray Mendenhall, Central mentor, ap- [ j, patently is worried over the outcome <> of the approaching game as he has if attended five local games this season. 1 A week from next Friday, the I Jackets close their season with a game at Bluffton. Decatur defeated the Tigers early in the season by a ] 4-point margin, and a close game is expected at the Parlor City. In the preliminary game last night, <| Decatur Seconds had little trouble disposing of the Monmouth Eagles, r 42-19. The game was slow, but occassionally the Embryo Jackets would cut loose with an offensive v spurt that would net several field ' goals. The entire second team squad I 1 was used in the game. In the early preliminary Decatur s Eighth Graders easily defeated Monroeville 40-2. Monroeville failed to 1 score from the field and netter a free throw in each half. Burkhead and Feasel were the chief scorers for trie local aggregation. Lineup and summary: Decatur F.G. F.T. T.P. I Gerlier, f ... 4 2 10 J. Engle, f 4 1 9 Roop, f 10 2 Cole, c 4 1 9 D.

ANDERSON FIVE WILL PLAY HEBE Tickets for the basketball game between the Decatur Catholic high School Commodores and Anderson I Catholic high to be played here next ' Wednesday night. Feb. 13. have been I placed on sale at the Eats Restaurant |and the Green Kettle confectionery. I Section O seats will be sold at the Eats restaurant and the Section B. 1 seats at the Green Kettle. All extra seats placed in the gym for the game with Fort Wayne C. C. H. S. last W»-H---nesday night, will be left in for the Anderson contest. Many local fans were disappointed Wednesday night, because they found that all seats had been sold by the time they reached the gym doors. Indications ate that the Anderson game will be another sell out and fans are urged to get their tickets soon. Tickets were sent to Anderson today. To insura the starting of the main game on time, at 8:30 o’clock, the pre liininary, between the C. C. 11. S. Midgets. of Fort Wayne, and the Commodore second team, will start at 7:15 o’clock, instead of 7:30. Bruff Cleary, of Fcrt Wayne will referee the big game. The Anderson team is the cockiest of the Commodores' opponents th's year They are being backed strongly by the Anderson fans. Highly touted in Anderson as excelling the Commodores in “brains and skill”, but outweighed by the bigger Decatur bovs, the Anderson outfit means of mass and length and epidemic of lucky long shots, nosed out the Commodores at Anderson, January 1. Anderson comes to Decatur fully confident of again de monstrating that they have attained a gi eater basketball development of that large mass of nerve tissue in which the anterior end of the spinal cord terminates than have the Commodores.. The Commodores having been drilled, too. in the slogan, ’athletes form the neck up”, will be out to give these smart boys ftom Anderson a test In mental gymnastics that will make their celebral cavities strain under the pressure.

if ' "1 Field Goals By Mark M. Upp- a 'Ti< hard to reailxc, but folks. ’l"'- 1 curtain Is down on the home season | of the Yellow Jackets. The Curtismen sure rang the cur- • tain down with a bang last night, too , Two tough battles, on foreign ter- i ritory, are ahead of the Jackets before they start plans for the section|al tournament. Next Friday, they g<» to Fort Wayne for a crack al those powerful Central Tigers and on the following week-end. they journey to Bluffton for an engagement with those also ■powerful Bluffton Tigers. 1 i The next number of tho program , for local fans is the appearance of lhe St. Marys high school eagers, of Anderson, who come to town next Wednesday night for a return game with the Commodores. Anderson defeated , Gibault of Vincennes Inst night, 27-21. Another letter from Eari Conner of Dayton. Ohio, containing a clipping from a Dayton paper, arrived thhl morning. Stivers high school turn-d down a game with the Decatur Cath olie high school Commodores for a game with Washington, Ind., Cath clic. high. Here’s the first paragraph of the story: “The Continentals ot Washington. Ind., play Stivers at the Coliseum on Saturday afternoon. Robert W. Worst, faculty manager of Stivers, arranged the game last Wednesday. Being unable to secure the appearance of Muncie, Ind., state champions last season, for that after noon, he asked them to name the five best teams in the Hoosier state. Washington ranked high on the list and Stivers was so fortunate as to schedule them for a local appearance. It may be noted that in the ‘Hardwood’ column of the Indianapolis Star, the Continentals are placed among the ‘Big Ten’ teams of Hoosier basketball bv a number of selectors.” t • Looks like there is some misunderstanding in Dayton. The Continentals of Washington. Ind., is the name applied to the Washington Catholic high school team, which is not, ac cording to general opinion, nearly as strong as the public high school quintet. which plays under the name of Hatchets. Washington Catholic high, we re convinced, is not nearly as strong as the Decatur Catholic high quintet. The Commodores defeated Cathedral of Indianapolis 43-12 and Cathedral won from Washington by a similar score. In his letter today, Mr. Conner says "It won’t be long now. Muncie has us in trouble and at last we will see a basketball game. I did my best to get the Commodores here, but 1 . guess it was a ease of seeking bigger game. If this game is close, either way, I hope you will admit we have a fair team down Dayton way. If we lose by a wide margin—well—l have just overestimated, that’s all.” Well admit you have a good chib, Earl, but as for you seeing a real game when Washinton plays thorp, we have our doubts. Newcastle 24, Frankfort 23! Now listen to the choice outbursts from Newcastle columnists. Oh well, why not? We would welcome their opportunity. " Technical of Indianapolis was so' technical Dor the Anderson Indians last night. Details are needed to explain Anderson’s 43-22 victory. Co.umbla City did the unexpected and defeated the Bluffton Tigers at Columbia City last night. This C.C. outfit has plenty of jwwer when functioning at top speed, however. Not Afraid of Decatur Uliat chance have Central’s Tigers of finishing their regular season undefeated, a feat which few teams in Indiana s basketball history have been able to accomplish and one which a rort Wayne five has never turned in? Tite chance is a good one, for needs but victories over South Side Warsaw, Decatur ami Horace Mann, of Gary, to do it. Every one of these fives especially the first and last named is capable of ending the uptown school’s winning streak, but so far Coach Mur- , ray Mendenhall’s charges have shown , just enough each game to slip by the , larger obstacles in their path and I there is no special reason why thev . can not continue to do so. With HorI ace Mann, crippled by the loss of two . stars, seemingly in a slump which [ makes Central’s chances of taking the Horsemen excellent, the Blue from all > indications has but to drop South Sloe Saturday night at the northern gym to reach the tourneys without a defeat.” —Sport Onceover, News-Sentinel > Tables Are Turned Craw fordsvile evidentally learned a . lesson when the Athenians played the ) \ellcw Jackets here recently. You 5 probably will recall that the Yellow I Jackets started a rally when the score 1 was 27-5 against tuem that, resulted 9 in the score being tied at 40-->li in the 9 second half, onlv to lose the game 9 48-40 On Wednesday night, Crawfords 3 ville played Clinton and the Clinton--7 iansr*after leadin'* 23-11 at the half 0 Increased the lead to 50-33 with two 0 n inutes to go.
