TIGERS DEFEAT YELLOW JACKETS IN GREAT GAME Thousands Watch Bluffton i Win By Single Point Margin In Great Game Bluffton high school Tigers! turned back Decatur high school| Yellow Jackets, 8-7. at the Country Club field here Friday afternoon before a howling mob of grid fans from both cities, in the greatest football game seen here in years. It was a great game from the! first kick until the closing plav.j jnd tlie game was iifevei "hi the k-et box" for either team. Debolt. Roop. ' Hain, Green, Engle anil Reynolds, Decatur backfield men threatened to ( demoralize the Bluffton team time after time by ripping off 10, 20 ayd 30 yard gains, only to have many of them called back. The Decatur line rallied after weak | ening in the first few minutes of i play and from the end of the first quarter on, the Jacketmen had the Tigers dizzy, groggy and wondering I what next. I Bluffton's two ends. Myers and liar- i ris played good for the winners while Pyle. High and Harris bursted through t the Decatur line early" in the game it for long gains. First Quarter R. Hesher kicked off for Bluffton t ps the game opened. After an ex |' change of punts. Bluffton tore through I far a first down. Failing to gain, the .i Tigers again punted and on the exchange Bluffton carried the Trail to the Decatur 25-yard line. A pass, Pyle to Myers was good for a touchdown. 1 The point after touchdown failed. < The fact that Bluffton scored, appar 1 ently vexed the Jackets for from that 1 moment on. Decatur had, the upperhand. if there was such a thing in that man's game. As the quarter end- < ed the trail was near middield. ' Second Quarter t The second quarter was decidely in t favor of the Kiddmen. Hain made at touchdown which was called track and t on two occasions Decatur was forced, from threatening territory because of | penalties. As the half ended the Yel-|J low Jackets had the ball on the Tiger 4-yard line with four downs to carry. the ball over. i •’ Third Quarter •) After an exchange of punts Blurt- ' ton had the ball in midfield. A long f pass was intercepted try Detroit, who c was playing a whale of a game for De-1 catur and he ran 45 yards for a touchdown. Point after touchdown was s good on a line plunge by Hain. De- J catur kicked off to the Tigers and 1 Roop, who had replaced Engle at lull, c for Decatur recovered a Bluffton f fumble on the Tiger 22-yard line.| a Bluffton managed to hold and then J kicked the ball out of danger. 8 Fourth Quarter ' Decatur got into its only trad hole at the beginning of the last quarter. The Tigers carried the ball deep into'* Decatur territory on two passes. The. 1 Jacket line held and with the ball o’. ' the 12-yard line Roop got off a beau-1* tiful punt to the Bluffton 32-yard line.j where four Decatur tacklers downed! the ball. Bower called the play backj' and penalized Decatur to its one-yard 1 line for alleged holding. On the next ' play the Decatur line weakened and ' Roop's punt was blocked. The ball was free behind Decatur’s goal line and before either team had an oppcr- 1 tunity to touch the ball. Bower ended the play and announced a safety for! 1 the Tigers. The fact that Bluffton went into a[ 8-7 lead failed to dampen the spirits | of the Jacketmen. After an exchange, 1 of punts and with five minutes to play, 1 Hain ripped through for a 12-yard ' gain. On the next play Green carried the ball 10-yards and Debolt plunged to the 7-yard line on the next attempt. Debolt was carried from the field with an injury. Decatur was penalized 5 yards for a time-out and on the next play Hain crossed the line, his should-) or striking the goal-line and the ball I resting about a foot across. Bower ruled that Hain pushed the ball forward and the ball was returned to the Bluffton six-inch line. Five seconds, remained and a mixup in the next playj caused Hain to slip, falling across the ball as it rested on the Bluffton oneinch line. The game ended at th s point. The entire Yellow Jacket team, though defeated as far as official score is concerned, played a great game. Every Decatur man played clean football, and the Jacketmen showed a great crowd that Decatur has a great team. Two bad breaks spelled defeat and as the crowd surged out of the gates, the curtain was dropped on Decatur's home football season. Lineup: * Bluffton (8) Decatur (7) Myers LE F. Brown Tappy LT .*.

Officials Bower, referee. Geller, i umpire.

Bower, Geller and Tudor, left the field —and settled down behind an automobile where they perused the pages of a RULE BOOK. And every spectator who saw the game—be he from Bluffton or Decatur '•ertainly must be agreed that Referee Bower could well spend some time studying the rules. WE STILT, FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT ALL HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC OFFICIALS SHOULD CARRY OR HAVE ACCESS TO A RI’LF BOOK WHEN OFFICIATING ATHLETIC EVENTS. The Bluffton team deserves all the eredt which goes with winning a football game. The Tigers played j brilliantly, and fought hard —they got j some tough breaks, too—maybe not as tough as the Jackets got—but the breaks were fairly well distributed. Footbawls is still for the Yellow Jackets and still for the Cubs— Kay and Pete, Bluffton sport critics. certainly were model boys at yesterday's game. They even ventur-, 4d to the DecStur side during the first half —where they received ebrdial treatment. It was worth the price of admis ) sion to see "Red" Masterson, one of Bluffton's famous REDS—he was all dressed up in spats —a derby —and carried an eye-glass, a tea-pot and a foot-warmer —“Red" besides running a Bluffton pants shop is Wells countychairman for the promotion of cleaner and better croquet games, and prevention of chewing gum in church. ( There was the usual “aftermath always accompanying a Bluffton-Deca-tur encounter—but apparently all the west suburb fans got home unmolested. Foot bawls is in favor of pardoning Al Capone's body guard so he can follow "Brainy" or "Brainless' or whatever his name is, Bower to football games where he officiates. Fire away boys, you can't sink this old shin—we’re stronger for the Yellow Jackets today than ever before—and now that the home season is over let's turn to BASKETBALL. Kirkland high school netters got away to a big start in the opening game of the Kangaioo season last night by defeating Geneva high school Cardinals. Geneva led most of the game and then suddenly in the last few minutes McKean. Kirkland guard came to life and hurried four field goals through j the net, winning the game 27-20. The Kirkland second team had little trouble with the Cardinal yearlings. i Yellow Jackets, Beat Garrett. — o : is FOUND GUILTY Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 26—<U.P.)—A circuit court jury here today found John Van Hook, deputy constable, guilty of manslaughter for the killing of Austin Sweet, Terre Haute attorney.

KIRKLAND WINS •I FROM GENEVA IN r i r \ FIRST NET GAME II , McKean Pulls Game Out Os Fire In Closing Minutes Os llhard Scrap — Adams county’s 1929-30 high school iliasketball season opened last night at i Kirkland township gymnasium when I the Kangaroos of that place rallied |to defeat Geneva high school Cardinals. 27-20. Geneva led during most of the contest, but a closing minute ' I rally by the Kangaroos, led by McKean. floor-guard pulled the game out 1 ’of fire. As most opennlg games, the tilt i started slowly and several fouls were I called on Troth teams. The Cardinals | sorfn took the lead and with a clever offense and airtight defense the i Wabash township quintet managed to hold on ‘o a 13-9 advantage at half time. In the second half the Cardinals continued to bombard the basket and ! with S minutes to go Geneva still ■ held a 4-point advantage. McKean and Dettinger. Kirkland veteran center. | started a scoring spree which re-[ suited in a Kangaroo win. Fennig. Geneva floor-guard was high point man for the losers with a total of 9 and McKean with 11 points was high scorer for Kirkland. A good-sized crowtd attended the opening and both teams played unusually good early-season basketball. In the curtain-raiser the Ebryo Kangaroos had little trouble disposing of the Geneva Second team by the score of 34-13. Spehiger of Bluffton officiated at Iwith games.

CONNECTICUT SENATOR GETS SERIOUS REBUFF (Cowtiwfkp hium p,c.k Yet, afterward he received from Bingham a check for SI,OOO without a word i of explanation. "Neither Mr. Eyanson nor Mr. . Wuichet can read his testimony before our committee without a blush ' of shame coming to his cheek. And Frederick Meisnest of the ' Atlantic Coast Eishers company is in the same 1 category." Caraway also criticised the test!-1 mony of Joseph FJ. Grundy, head of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers Asso-1 elation. "He said he collected cam- ’ paign money and then came down tn 1 1 Washington to see that those who contributed got legislation which would give them back their money," Caraway said. “Something ought t> be done to disabuse the mind of the public that legislation can be had by special favor or by outright purchase.- ’ After the senate returned to consideration of the tariff bill. Senator George, Dem., Ga., reverted to the Bingham-Eyanson case and declared, "the shadow of the Connecticut'’Manufacturers Association was cast across every schedule in this bill, every paragraph of this bill.” “What does the senator mean?" republican leader Watson asked. "I mean that every schedule and \ paragraph of this bill is placed under suspicion by the developments in this case and by the fact that the representative of the Manufacturers Assoj elation was permitted not merely to

! advise but to sit in tbe finance coin mlttee during part of the time the uillj I was under consideration,” George re ! plied. "I assume he did not talk to members of the committee." Watson said.

HEFLIN OFFERS NEW RESOLUTION Asks That Secretary Os State Inform Senate Regarding Fascism ’ Washingion. Oct. 26 (U.RI Senator ; Heflin. Dem.. Ala., introduced a resoI hition today asking the secretary of state to report to the senate all the information available regarding the: activities of afsclst organizations In I this country. In the preamble of his resolution! Heflin alleged that 'certain American' citizens of Italian descent including IF. N. Dlnvi of New York city and! Carlo Ragno of Hoboken. N. J., who! have recently v sited Italy, have been! I arrested and imprisoned and have hltd their American passports taken away because they were opposed to' the fascisti activities in the United; States. ’’ Heflin included in the resolution j several other charges which have | I been circulated recently in magazine ! art des and elsewhere, including tbe following: That persistent efforts are being made by the fascist league of North I America, a corporation of the state | of New York, and its local branches ! throughout the United States. "The Americanization of Italians in (his country, to stifle at any cost all ! criticism of Mussolini and to silence I the opponents of fascism. " Marcus Duffield writing in Harpers magazine on "Mussolini's American Empire" alleges existence of a fascist campaign of Italianizatlon to instill loyalty to II Duce in Italo-American ch’ldren. "These youngest«rs." Duffield said, "most of them born here, not only are being taught in Italian schools established by the fascisti. but actually are 1 being given preliminary training to fit (hem for the fascist army." The article continued to allege! I taxes were being levied by Italian i authorities upon Italo-Americans by ; means of assessing a bachelor's tax i against unmarried Italo-Americans in the United States and compelling their relatives in Italy to pay if the bachelor in the United States refused to do so. Some bachelors so taxed, Duffield said, were naturalized American citizens. He added an Italian counsul in the one instance was believed to have obtained discharge of a school teacher in Yonkers. N. Y , befause she re- ■ fused to be guided by a 'fascist government document outlining in a general way what children in fascist schools abroad should be taught.’ The i teacher, he said was a Miss Marv : Maolini. "Shortly afterward," Duffield coui tinned. "Miss Maolini was dismissed and her place was filled by a teacher i sent over from Italy.” Girl Faces Murder Charge At South Bend ■i ~ ~ )■ South Bend.
