Jerked out of a slump during the last half of the opening basketball game of the 1920-30 season ami defeated Jefferson high school 38-22 after a hard scrap with the Jeffersonians at the Community hall here last night Jefferson led at the end of the first half 13-10 and Coach Johnson was forced to use his first team during the entire game to win. A record crowd attended the season’s opening, and cheered wildly when the Hears crawled ahead about the middle of the second half, never to relinquish the lead. Pop Tudor. Fort Wayne, officiated and his work was re garded as the best seen here in years. Stuber and Wendell. Jefferson forwards were the outstanding offensive players for the looser* while Stauffer Berne center, Ehrsam. forward and Stucky, veteran floor guard, were the big offensive cogs for the winners. Berne took the lead early in the game hut in a few minutes the Jefferson aggregation started an offensive spree which brought that team into the front of the scoring column where the Marshmen remained until the middle of the second half. The first half was slow at times. Bollen ha cher. Jefferstip's star pivot man was taken from the game early in the first half on four personal fouls and Berne lost Is,th Kattmamn and Ehrsam in the last half. In the preliminary game the Berne Cubs defeated Jefferson's second team.. 26-13. The score at the half was 18-8.

Indications were that Decatur would win the game by a comfortable margin. —oOo — Following the closing of the gridiron season today, basketball will rule in Decatur. Already the Decatur Catholic high school Commodores have started trimming their ship for the season—and the Curtismen will take to the hardwood Monday. —o DoBerne and Jefferson opened their basketball seasons at Berne last night. The district champions got off to a bad start In the first half, and Olen Marsh’s aggregation almost kicked a hole in the dope bucket. —oOo — Jefferson has a good net team and you're going to hear a lot of that team before the season is over. The Marshmen have to travel about 15 or 20 miles every time they practice too. —oOo — Berne evidently has another of those famous Berne basketball teams —one that won’t give up. even when they’re lieat —and that’s the sort of a team it takes to win games. — 000— Ed Liechty and Simon Schwartz, Berne newspaper columinists are struttin' their stuff and both papers now have basketbai columns —and a team to boost. The Witness recently distributed Berne schedules, printed on a two-tone cardboard —and evidently the advertising the two papers are giving the Bears pays—because there was a full house at the opening game. —oOo — Bollenbacher, Jefferson center, was sent to the showers early in the first half of the Berne-Jefferson game via personal foul route. You’ll hear plenty of that lanky boy tho'. before the season reaches the midway mark - he’s had experience and always has been good both on defense and offense. Coach Sonny Johnson evidently

I has found areal center in Stauffer. He’s a newcomer to the Bears’ center position, replacing 1 : Meyers, last season’s pivot man on the district champs' team. Stauffer sank an even half dozen field goals in the opening game. 1 —oOo — Coach Bill Bryan takes his Kun- , garoos to Center in Allen I county tonight for a net argument. . Last year the laifayette Center ag-. i- gregation took a 1-point decision front , the Kirkland tenm —and the Kangar- 1 oos are out for revenge. The Allen | I county betters uvereged 51 points ai i game for 20 games last year. ; —oOo — We’re anxiously awaiting the first outburst from whoever the new Bluffton sport columnist is Monday — The News-Banner publishes its first combined paper—and no announcement has been made concerning a sports editor. — oOo — While we've fought a little and poss- ' ibly disagreed some — Pete, in the News and Kay in the Banner have been two of the most regular fellows, we’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. They’ve been for Bluffton and Wils county against the world —and Footbawls hats to see them disappear from the sports world of northern Indiana. —oOo — Now after that paragraph don't think Footbawls has any love for Bluffton athletic teams——oOo — Because it ain’t so. —oOo — Coach Herb Curtis just dropped in and said there never was a Blutffo nteam better than Decatur—and immediately Footbawls got religion and said "Amen.” —oOo — Say, Yellow Jackets, beat Garrett. —oOo— Once, some time ago, we published a couple of lines about N. E. I. officials and rule books and we Still BELIEVE THAT AN OFFICIAL SHOULD CARRY OR HAVE ACCESS TO A RULE BOOK WHEN OFFICIATING ANY HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC EVENT. OFFERS VISUAL NET EDUCATION Bloomington. Ind.. Nov. 2. —Adams county schools are offered a new form of aid in basketball instruction this year. Coach Everett 8. Dean, of. 1 (the Indiana University basket ball team, and the bureau of visual education of the state university have preI pared a set of 74 colored lantern [slides illustrating the fundamentals ' land styles of play used in basketball. The slides are now being distributed ( to schools and colleges by the university extension division. The slide series follows the film on basketball which during the last four years has been used widely by high school and ( college coaches. The film was prepared by Coach Dean and distributed , by the extension division. The new Iwsketba’l slide series comes as a result of requests from coaches* for a ' more detailed illustrated instructional series in l>asketball. A 14 page booklet giving descrip[tive details for each slide in the series will be furnished with the sides. In his booklet. Coach Dean discusses many angles of basketball form and execution. He illustrates correct form with members of his own team. The making of the sjides has been painstakingly done by Coach Dean in the effort to give high school and college coaches exact illustrations and information as to proper form and play in basketball. A feature of the new basketball lantern slide series is the charting of a number of Big Ten plays. Coach Dean illustrates and discusses the long pass game, the short passing attack, the delayed offense, the criss cross offense, the long shot follow-up game, out-of-bounds plays, jump ball plays center plays, percentage basketball and defensive formations at center. Since he returned to his alma mater as coach in 1924, Coach Dean has brought Indiana University three Big Ten conference championships. His basketball teams finished at the top of the ladder in 1924-25 and again in 1927-28. They finished second twice. His 'oavebali team won the Big Ten flag in 1925. While a student at I.U. Coach Dean was an all-Conference center on the basketball team. He is one of the youngest and most successful of the Big Ten coaches. Gymnasium Wins Over Streets In Election ’ Richland.

(U.R) Tho greatest left hand in the prize ring will bo [ pitted against a murderous right cross I Monday night when Sammy Mandell | and Jimmy 'Melatrnin meet in a teni round bout at Paddy Harmon's Chicago stadium. Mandell, whose lightning left jabs have carried him to complete domination of the lightweight ranks, will be ; making his first serious threat on the welterweight division in meeting MeI lamin. He has previously beaten the | Vancouver fighter when both were lightweights and Is confident he can repeat. As for Mclairnin, he seems to be in the best shape of his career and with It’s weight now in the neighborhood of 145 pounds, believes he can avenge his previous defeat. Mandell will tip the beam at about 138 pounds. Odds on the fight as the principals completed their hardest training yesterday were quoted at 6 to 5 on Mandell. Otto von Porat. the hard hitting heavyweight contender, takes on Charley Smith of England in the semi-windup. — Q ♦ -♦ ON THE GRIDIRON TEN YEARS AGO THIS WEEK | (U.R) Playing in a steady rain and on * field churned to ankle-deep mud, Notre Dame ploughed to a 16 to 3 victory over 'the Hoosiers of Indiana in the feature contest of the week 10 years ago. Indiana made only one serious threat. I-ate in the game it carried the ball to the four-yard line when ■ it lost on downs. Ijeonard, tackle, led I the defensive attack with his unusual punting ability under the sloppy conditions. Frank Stitsman. Indiana halfback, w r as outstanding for his aggressive work in the backfield. Bergman, halfhack, was the star for the offense through his ground gaining ability and headwork. Time out was called only once in the whole game—to give Gipp a new sweater.. Scores of the feature games were; Purdue. 13; Michigan Aggies. 7. Depauw. 7; Franklin. 0. Illinois. 10; Chicago, 0.

Wis., Nov. 2. —(U.R>—Wisconsin met Purdue, favorite to win Big Ten football honors, before a homecoming crowd of 40,000 here today. The Badgers faced a handicap through loss of their injured quarterback. Sam Behr, as Lusby, former halfback, took his place with only a few days experiencrTlt that post. Purdue, undefeated this season, had that record to defend while Wisconsin, beaten in its last three games and held scorless in a like number of contests, hoped to atone for its previous showing. Butler And DePauw In Grid Battle Today Greencastle. Ind., Nov. 2. —(U.R)-Re-sumption of athletic relations after one year with no match play finds Butler and DePauw bridmen on the same field today, with the Bulldogs favored to lengthen their one-game margin for the 20 years of competition. Injuries have punctuated the grit history of DePauw this year, whereas Butler has been playing in unusually good fortune in this respect, ami goes onto the field this afternoon a heavy favorite.

NATIONALISTS WIN CAMPAIGN Gets More Than 10 Per Cent On Petition For Young Plan Vote Berlin, Nov. 2— (UP)— The Nation • alist party won an initial victory today | in its campaign to defeat Germany's I acceptance of the Young plan by securing the necessary number of sign ers to a petition which assures the calling of a referendum on acceptance of the plan. Not until today was the final outcome of the Nationalist campaign certain. The last hours of tabulating the signatures to the petition gave the Nationalists a slight margin over 4,100,000 signers reqired to force the calling of the referendum. That nlimmber con stitutes 10 per cent of Germany’s total electorate. Earlier in the week, the Nationalist campaign appeared to be losing, hut yesterday, with reports ftom east Prussia and other nationalist strongholds, the tabulations rose to 9 8 per cent. With 99 per cent of the eelctorate counted before noon today, the Na ionalists had obtained the support of 10 16 pei cant of the electorate. About noon, tabulations were completed, and lhe referc-n Jutn, it was announced, won Victory for the petition does not necessarily m'an defeat of ratification of the Young plan. To be valid, the referendum must be voted upon by at least one halt’ of the total electorate. or about 20.500,006 votes. In addition, the Nationalist leaders must obtain a majority in favor of theii prpoposals tot make them a law. The most important of the proposals is that which would make it unlawful for the gov. nnent to accept the Young plan. The next step now will be arrangemeu:s to hold the nation-wide refereendura. The success of the Nationalists came as a distinct surprise to many, even to some of the Nationalist newspapers who had two days ago been pessimistic as to the outcomme of the campaign. Non-Nationalist newspapers earlier in the week said the campaign had definitely failed. President Paul Von Hindenburg re peatedly refused to be drawn into the controversy, issuing seveial state ments denying that he had taken any sides in the matter. Th? President also piotes ed against one of the aims of the Nationalists which v.tuld have made members of the government who voted for ratification of the Noting plan subject to prosecution for treason. In some quarters It was believed that section of the Nationalist's demands probably reacted against the campaign, even among gloups who might have supported th? petition for a referendum otherwise. Tulane Is South’s Best Gridiron Team Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 2—(U.R)—Tulane • stood out today as the south’s foremost football team, its defeat of , Georgia at Columbus yesterday having kept its string of victories unbroken and furnishing the • Green wave’s second impressive • triumph within a. week. Georgia, conqueror of Yale, was defeated 21 to 15. Tulane showed Its superiority by making 15 first downs to 11 for the losers. Georgia led at half-time, 15 to 14, but Tu’.ane scored a touchdown in the third quarter after a sustained march down the field. Armstrong’s 60-yard run for Tulane’s second touchdown and a similar run by Roberts, Geor--1 gia substitute fullback, were the outstanding individual efforts of the day. Tennessee also has an- undefeated record in southern conference games • but Tulane has survived the most i difficult part of its schedule and has • comparatively easy games ahead, i o—.— 5 Get the Habit —Trade at Homa, It Faye

Curb brokers also were present and brokerage clerks were busy catch lug up with their back work. Much of this work, it was expected, would have to carry over into next week. Meanwhile additional notes of optimism jvere being circulated regarding the business situation. The tone of brokerage letters and market observers, however, wan vauliuuti. The general opinion was that the market has seen its worst break, but many warned that the recovery was too rapid and might draw out profittaking. Notre Dame Favorite Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 2— (U.R)-Notre Dame was a heavy favorite to win over Georgia Tech here today despite persistent rumors that the first string Irish eleven would he given a rest and that shock troops would be used throughout the game. Already defeated twice this year, the Tech eleven, claimants of national honors in 1928. was conceded slight chance to win from Indiana’s touring Irishmen. A capacity crowd of betwen 30,000 and 40.000 persons was assured when all seats were sold several hours before game time. o Gophers Are Ready Minneapolis. Nov. 2. — (U.R) — With the efficiency of three first string halfbacks. Brockmeyer. Riebeth and. Barnhart. reduced by painful leg injuries, Minnesota met Indiana in a western conference game here today.
