MERCHANTS TO PLAYTEACHERS Every spring, about this time of the year, a large number of merchants, teachers, other professional men and downtown coaches get an idea in their heads that they know how to play the game of basketball a little better than the high school boys. Fortunately, for the last several years, the Civic Department of the Woman's Club, always on the alert to do something lor the good of the city and its inhabitants, provides a means for these same gentlemen to display their baskethall ability. Announcement was made t iday that an alleged team composed of merchants and business men, captained ed by Herman "Fat" Meyers, will play the city school teachers, led by Coach Herb Curtis, in the Decatur high school gymnasium on Monday evening February 25. The game will he played as a benefit for the Civic Department of the Woman s Club, and the proceeds will be used by that irganization in repairing and maintaining the public tennis courts in the city. In addition to the basketball game, there will be drills and demonstrations by the girls' physical training classes in the public school, taught by Miss Jeanette t'laik and drill by the Hoy Scouts, under the supervision of Bryce Thomas. Admission charges will be ten cents ' for school children and twenty-five cents for adults. Field Goals By Mark M. Upp Tonight’s scrap between the Commodores and Anderson Catholic high at D. C. H. S. gym promises to be an interesting go. Anderson handed the Comm (dotes an unexpeited defeat on New Year's night and that must be avenged tonight. The Commodores' second team will play the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette: team in the preliminary game topighi The Bluffton Tigers won another conference game last night, defeating the North Side Redskins at Fort Wayne, 26-22. Stevens and Pyle sr-rred all of Bluffton's points except three free throws. At last, we have definite information that the Washington. Indiana, team which is to play Stivers high of Dayton, at Dayton, next Satin day afternoon, is the public high school team or the Hatchets. Such being the case. Stivers runs a good chance of having that pretty string of victories broken. The Hatchets have turned in some mighty nice games this reason. Somehow or other, we kinds believe Central will be harder to beat Friday night if Lyons does not play at I the centre post than if he does. Dorntej is a good center and with Lyons out of the lineup, those Tigers will be fighting all the harder and it is a well established fact that it is fight that accounts for about 75 per cent of Cen- < tral's effectiveness. But with or with ut Lyons, Central can be beaten by the Yellow Jacket* < Friday night. The Jackets have a gol- , den opportunity to “go to town." j Everybody in this section of the state, , outside Fort Wayne, is pulling for | them fa cop that battle. They have ( the ability and power and can fight, as has been demonstrated a few times , this season. Will they fight Friday night? We believe they will. The Yellow Jacket second team has ' a battle on hands for Thursday night, too, when the Bluffton seconds come ' to town for the isecond game of the ' series for the inter-county second ! team championship of Adams and Wells counties. They must win this ) game to stay in the race for the title. Newcastle goes to Muncie Friday night for a game with the Bear Cats. Gene Boch, through the medium of the sport page of the Newcastle Courier, is pleading wth the Trojans to win that ' game. A Newcastle victory over Mun cie and u I ) eatur win over Fort Wayne Central would make some goad headlines for Saturday’s papers, eh, c.ene? “The Tropical Trio”, writing from Fort Lauderd ,e, Fla., to The Scoreboard in the Kendallville News-Sun, says: In your review of the Decatur game, you failed to make one point clear to us. Did the Satans arrive at Decatur too late for the first half, or .did they sit on their feet the first twenty minutes, warming them? Yours for felt boots for at least the first five men.” "South Side high of Fort Wayne ha,s Bluffton, Decatur, Fort Wayne and Warsaw sectional winners. Bluffton was in last year. Kirkland township

represented Decatur and Pierceton won fiom Silver Lake in the Warsaw final.

Ind., Feb. 13 — Capt I Charles “Chuck” Bennett, offensive I leader of the Indiana University 1928 lootball team, added another laurel to ! his ever growing list with the aecep--1 tance of an appointment to West Point. Senator Arthur Robinson, of In- . diana. recently informed Bennett that l he had passed al the requirements and examinations to become cadet. The Indiana far-famed half back has i added ills laurels to those of Wilmer Rinehart, all-American javelin thrower, Coach E. C. Hayes' undefeated Conference champion (toss country team, and the Crimson's wrestling team that has many national and Olympic stars on its roster. These records and ach- ■ ievements have been placed in India-1 na's hall of fame since school started in September. Not only was Bennett unanimously 1 chosen all-Conference half back, and made a member of the triumphant allEastern eleven but alsi was selected as the most valuable player in the Big Ten. He has won enough medals, trophy, and loving cups to fill a ease in the University's trophy room. Following tlie footsteps of Oliphant, , Cagle, Wilson and other never ! t-be-forgotten heroes of the Army's gridiron. Bennet will start his first year of competition in September. Rinehart still has his last year of I. varsity competition ahead of him. Despite the fact that he broke the national Inter-collegiate rec id last year in a ' dual meet with Northwestern, he was not able to make the-American Olympic team because of an injured arm. With his throwing arm in perfect condition again, the Crimson all-American , will throw his ipear at thew orld’s j record this coming season. John Van Ryn Defeats Bill Tilden And Hunter Brooklyn, Feb. 13-(U.Fj-With the two ranking tennis stars of the Unit- 1 ed States as his victims, John Van Ryn of East Orange, N. J., today ' stands out as one of this country's , leading hopes for the 1929 Davis cup ! team. Van Ryn vanquished William T. ■ Tilden, playing in his first tournament * since his reinstatement last week, in straight sets in the Heights Casino singles final yesterday, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 . The former Princeton star previously had defeated Francis' T. Hunter, No. 2 in the national rankings, in the semi-final round. — — And Cochran Play For Billiard Title New York.

NOTRE DAME TO ERECT STADIUM New York, Feb. 13. —<U.R) — Lean 1 traveling and more games at horn** 1 wKI be the t'utuie football policy of 1 Notre Dame With this program in mind a new stadium costing $750,000 and seating between 50,000 and 60,000 presons will be built at South Bend, Ind., Father Charles L. O'Donnell, president of the university, told the Notre Dame Alumni association of New York, in a luncheon in his honor. “Academically it. is not sound to have a band of roving athletes,” he said. "We're called the ramblers, but not because we like it. The new stadium will give us the means for keeping our football team at home.” The Notre Dame eleven traveled from coast to eoast last season, playing the Army and Penn State in the east, Georgia Tech at Atlanta. Navy at Chicago and the University of Southern California at Los Angeles. “Lack of proper facilities has forced Notre Dame into a policy of playing most of its games away from home," Father O'Donnell said. “This has been a constant source of irritation. I did some traveling with the team last fall and I can say that the boys did not discuss football. They I studied, played bridge and read. They know that footbai’l eminence is only a bubble. Our friends, Red Grange and C. <*. Pyle, taught us that lesson. Grange stands as a monument to this folly.” By 1930 Father O’Donnell plans to bling several mason opponents to South Bend to play Notre Dame, including the Navy, Carnegie Tech and two or three big western elevens. So far as known Notre Dame will continue to play the Army in New York. Father O'Donnell denied rumors that Knute Rockne would leave Notre Dame. “Rockne will -be with us next season.” he said, "and we hope for many more seasons. Our outlook too is brighter, from all I can hear, than it was last fal’. We seem to have the material for a winning team." Fred Lieb, former Notre Dame I star, will return Lam Wisconsin to Ibe line coach and assistant track coach. Father O'Donnell announced. LINDY’S BETROTHAL IS DISCUSSED BY MILLIONS ifOXTlVnitn p-OOM PtCJF! nvu> announced the engagement of their daughter. Anne Spencer Morrow, to Col. Charles A. Lindbergh." The girl who has won the heart of the man who has caused more feminine flutter than anyone in this age, not even excepting the Prince of Wales, seems ideally suited to one of Lindbergh's temperament. _ She shares his dislike of ostentation and is of the studious, intellectual type. Miss Morrow is 22 and Lindbergh 27. Her dark hair is unbobbed and frames an attractive face with dark blue eyes. She is slender and about five feet four, reaching only to the shoulder of her tall husband-to-be. Miss Morrow is quiet and self-con-ta'ned, like leer mother. Social and diplomatic functions have little attraction for the bride-to-be. and she appears in public only at the weekly receptions at the embassy when she helps her mother pour tea. She likes pets. Miss Morrow and Lindbergh have known one another a year and two months, and while their courtship could not be called “whirlwind,” they have had comparatively little time together. They first met on Dec. 14, 1927, when Lindbergh made a non-stop flight from Washington to Mexico City on his good will tour of Central and South America. They met several times in the United States during the ensuing year and again last November, when Lindbergh flew here from the state of Chihuahua, where he spent several week® hunting with Col. Alexander J. McNab, military attache of the embassy. Lindbergh stayed here ten days and. as usual, the public had little glimpse of his activities and did not note how much time he spent in Miss Morrow's company. Those who saw them at several entertainments at the embassy during Lindbergh’s stay said they “Didn’t act like an engaged couple.” "They wouldn’t ” retorted one who knew both. Mrs. Morrow flew with hiin over the volcano Popocatepetl just outside the capital last November. The volcano is 18,090 feet high. Lindbergh is extremely popular with his fiance’s parents. While the ambassador would not comment for publication, his opinion of Lindbergh is of the highest and his favorite description nf the flier Is, “ He’s a fine boy.” Similarly, Mrs. Morrow is fond of the flier and a friend said she was "beaming with joy” after the engagement was announced.

SCOUTS MOBOLIZE IN RECORD TIME Decatur Troop No. 63 Wins First Place In Its District In Mobilization Boy Scout troap 64, of Decatur, won first place for its district in the recent mobilization according to the announcement made oy Scout Executive, John L. Anguish, today. Decatur troop 63 won second place. The mobilization of Boy Scouts in the Anthony Wayne area was tremen- ,

dous success. This fact was revealed today when Scout Executive John L. Anguish announced complete tabulati n on the results. Seventy-five per cent of the Boy Scouts in the area were assembled, ready for action, within one hour after the call went out. The movement here was in conjunction with the national mobilization ot sc .uts, and put on to demonstrate how quickly scouts could be assembled in the event of flood, fire or other disaster. No tioop knew at what hour to expect the call. It went out at 1:30 o’clock in the afternoon. Mr. Anguish expressed pleasure nr the mannei In which the troops of the Anthony Wayne area responder! to the test, stating there was every reason to be proud of the record made. The two troops at Angola tan a neck and neck race, both reporting within thirty minuter a 100 per cent attendance. Troop 181 was given first place, completely mobilizing just two seconds ahead of Troop 182. In the Allen county district, special mention is made :f the troop at Poe which won second for its district, notwithstanding the fact that it had to come all the way to Fort Wayne to its mobilization point. It was mobilized 1110 per cent wfthin the hour. The accounting takes no record of trops that did not mobilize within the hour. 0 — COLLEGE BASKETBALL Wisconsin, 48; Bradley Tech,. 22.
