L. Ehler of this city. Ehler usually is among the low medalists. GIRLS' TEAM IS BEING PLANNED Decatur High School To Have Girls Basketball Team This Year Girls' basketball will be played again in Decatur high school this year and a schedule of eight or nine games is being arranged by Jeanette Clark, girls' coach and director of physical ' education in the Decatur schools. Two years ago the girls’ sport was I discontinued, but so much interest has been shown among local pupils and fans that it was decided to revive the old system of having a girls' team. The schedule will in no way interfere with the Second team games, it was stated today. In all probability, the girls' team and*the two boys’ teams , will appear on the same card at Auburn. but othet girls' games will be 'scheduled on separate nights, according to the present plan. Miss Clark stated today that there 1 was good material in the local high s school for a girls' team ami that she i would announce a complete chedule 1 in a few days.

And say, Roger, we hope both your daughters marry Democrats when they grow up. —oOo—“Snort Round-up.’’ by Kay in the Bluffton Banner has joined us in our fight to have northeastern Indiana athletic officials carry rule-books with tl.em. — 000— And THIS CAME IN THE MAIL: Dear Mr. Footßawls: I was talking to an official the other day concerning a play in a recent football game and when I produced my rule book to prove my point, IMAGINE MY EMBARASSMENT when Mr. Official said. “Oh Dear Me, I can't look at that book, I'm a member of the N. E. I. Officials Association.” Signed. I. M. Withu. —oOo— KIDS will be admitted free to ♦he Columbia City-Decatur game Friday.. It's a good plan, because more kids are talking fooball in Decatur this week than ever before. —oOo — Since the Northeastern Indiana officials refuse to carry rule books, wouldn't it be a good idea to write Mr. Spaulding and tell him not to print so many books this year? —oOo— Yellow Jackets, we're for you—and when you take the field tomorrow- if you just bear in mind that it takes SIXTY MINUTES OF FIGHT to win a football game—You can do it. —oOo— We're guessing the score to be 20-6 —with the Jackets on the top side. Good Luck Max—if the Yellow Jackets do one-tenth of the things you've told them this week in THAT Columbia City game — it won’t be hard for Footbawls to come to work Saturday. The Chicago Cubs won the National League pennant yesterday. A lot of good golf was displayed yesterday in the play-off match between Decatur and Bluffton, and as

Formations —The Kick In the next four articles I shall give four formations which are used the most in football. Practically every team has them in its repetoire of ■ plays. The kick formation is ideally adapted for punting, drop kicking, or place kicking. The guards and center remain in their regular positions on the line, while the ends go out five yards from the tackle. This givfcs them a chance to get a quick start to tackle the catcher of the kick. The halfbacks are hack three and one half yards from the line in such a position as to get a direct pass from center. The fullback, or kicker, is directly back of the center from seven to ten yards from the line. The quarterback is used as a blocker, and may play to the right or to the left. This formation also may be used for running, bucking or passing. In this case the formation should be formed < in a more compact manner.

The running plays of this formation are built around the fullback. If he is i ttiple ft eat man. the opposition will be puzzled as to what he will do. He has a good chance to get a fast start before he hi.s the opposition since he receives the ball seven yards >r more from the line. The cut back Is used by the fullback after he has found the hole made by his interference in the line inside the ackle or end. After crossing the line of scrimmage he cuts back following interfering guards or backfield men. A wide run may be tried easily enough from this position. Defensive ouds have to be smothered by at least two interferers. The defensive tackles must be batted in toward center. Passing can be done by either the halfbacks or the fullback. Usually two linemen drop back to protect the passer when the play gets underway. The halfbacks usually make short passes while the fullback makes long er passes. lateral passing is accomplished by starting the play as a buck

or a run ami developing It Into a widej wing play * ,<h * (, P»‘" , y m,n ""i receiving end of the lateral puss. Editor's note: Tomorrow Pat Page Will discuss the box or diamond formation. — —o- —•- YELLOW JACKETS READY FOR TILT Columbia City W ill Be Local Opposition Tomorrow Afternoon After several hard practices, Cinch Max Kuhl announced today jhat the Yellow Jackets were ready for the Columbia City football game to be play ed here Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock All children of all local schools up to ind including the eighth gtade will lie admitted free to the Rime. The Yellow Jackets have been reorganized and revamped and several new face* will be seen, when they line up , for the kickoff. Friday it wai learned today. Gerber has been shifted from: full back to end and it is probable that. 1 George Roop will be in the backfield i Several other changes are expec.ed. t but Coach Kidd staled that he had not fully decided what other changes ‘ he would make. The line has been trengthened considerably and indications are tbit the Jackets will be a ' hard effor: to break into the win column at the hands of the upst iters. ; Columbia City lost its opening game last Saturday to Garrett high school 1 and word from that <amp wa< to 'he effect that the Columbia City boys p would be plenty tough for the game ! here.
