FOOTBALL IS BEATING BACK SUMMER SPORT Coach Max Kidd Begins Rounding Out Plans for Yellow Jackets h’s in thp air now these cool, crisp mornings. The baseball season and other summer sports will soon have their thanatopsis, and tootball will jump into the limelight and completely change the topic of conversation among local sport gossipers. With the opening of Decatur high school, just around the corner. Coach Max Kidd has issued a call for several meetings this week and nex> of all veterans of last year's Yellow Jacket gridiron aggregation The boys have been talking over plans for the approaching season and every indication points to a successful football season. • Coach Kidd stated today that he expected to selec t 24 players to make up the first squad. The qther candidates for football will be grouped together on the reserve squad and will be taught the fundamentals of the game. Several veterans from last year's squad will return. Coach Kidd asserted. and a nucleus will be formed around them. The players with experience from last years squad include Captain Carl Gerber, who will start his last year in athletics of Decatur higli school; Debolt, Drown, E. Musser, Williams, Schnepp. Potts, Melchi. Parrish, Hurst, Odle, Bussee, F. Musser, Hebble, Heller and Zerkle. In addition to these veterans several likely candidates reported for spring training last May and those who have signified their intention of trying out for the 1929 squad include Green. Hain, Litterer. Engeler. Pelz Shoaf, B. Brown. Steele, Glen Roop, and Buffenbarger. All of the likely candidates for the Yellow Jacket squad reported to Coach Kidd in good condition, most of them having worked all summer. First practices will start in the next few days, and before that time the informal meetings will continue. Probably the weakest part of the Yellow Jacket gridiron machine ihs'f year was the inability of the ends to sjop their opponents' long and generally disastrous trips around the wings of tlte local team. Coach Kidd stated that he believed this weakness would be eliminated, this year. F. Brown, Melchi and Hebhle all have had experience and they learned considerably from last year's ptay. Besides these three experienced candidates for the end positions there are four embryo candidates, Steele, Odle. Engeler and Pelz, who will make it hard for the veterans to retain their encl positions unless they show great improvement. The team this year will be heavier than last year's aggregating. and all of the veteran players are optimistic] concerning the chances oT Decatur: having a real football team this year. o Boxer Dies After Scrap Jersey City.

HELEN WILLS IS FAVORITE Forest Hills, L. 1., Aug. 20.—(U.RJ--Ot’iy 32 players remain to contest tlte national women’s tennis crown now worn by Miss Helen Wills. First, round matches in the annual champ'onshSp tournament at the- west side club yesterday halved the field and shattered the hopes of another 3" players whose goal was the American title. in this number, however, was listed ct l’’ one seeded player, a’l the other favorites upholding the wisdom of tlte officials who seeded the draw before play began. The defending champion today is, if possible, a greater favorite than ever to retain the championship. The decisive manner in which Mie* Wills tiisp: sed of Katherin Lamarche Philadelphia. in two love sets yesterday, was conclusive proof of the status of her game. Those who are given to worry have turned their attention to Helen Jacobs, the sturdy California girl who was runner-up to Mies Wills in the same tourney last year, and a*. Wimbledon earlier tuts season. Miss Jacobs (iced Eleanor Gosa. New Vork, in her second round match today and there was every reason to expect a tense battle.

(U.K)-Five early favorites were leading the field as the second day's play opened in the annual Indiana amateur golf tournament here, all of them shoo’.ing the hills course under par. Dwight Mitchell, French Lick, was in the lead with a 69 for the first 36 holes, closely trailed by George Lance Terre Haute, title holder, with a 70; Chuck Bader. Gary; Keith Ytxing, Lafayette , and Johnny Bartlett, Hammond, all three with 71. A closely contested championship match was indicated by the bunched position of early round finishers. Early predictions that Lance might finish far in the lead were dissipated by early performances of his four closest competitors, one of whom is nne stroke in the lead, but aside from the quintet there are few entries within striking distance of the crown. — o Wiggins Will Fight Indianapolis.

Walker, weighing 166. conceded Lomski nearly 7 pounds in weight and several inches in height and reach. Lomski weighed 172%.

Keep up the Payment of Your Christmas Club At this time of the year there seems to be a tendency towards laxity of keeping’ up payments on (Christmas Savings Clubs. Perhaps that is due to the extra money that is taken along for yacation trips. But it is essen tial that your payments be kept to date in order that you receive full interest at the end of the vear. The many good uses from which you will enjoy your Christmas money are probably planned already. The best way to assure complete enjoyment of this money is to have your „ payments made to date or in advance. Then when your check is sent to you, the interest added will be our reward for your diligence in savings. Payment number 38 is due this week. Look at your Club book. If you are behind, now is the time to catch up to date. Letting it go for a few more weeks only makes it harder to complete payments before number 50 rolls along. Old Adams County Bank
