G. E. NETTEHS TO OPEN HOME SEASON TONIGHT Fast Fort Wayne Bowser Team Scheduled For Opening Night Tilt » The Decatur General Electric basketball team, fresh from a victory over the fast Berne A.C.. netters. will open the home season at Decautr high school gymnasium at 8 o'clock tonight. The local Electricians will meet (he fast Bowser aggregation of Fort Wavne The Bowser team is composed of a group of former Indiana high school net stars and two members of the squad are former all-state netters from Ohio high schools. The two teams have been rivals for the last seven years, and a large crowd is expected to turn out for the annual battle. No seats will be reserved, and those who have not secured tickets can do so at the door tonight. Manager Carl Smith announced today. Ticket stubs will be retained by the purchaser for a program between halves at which time a turkey will be presented to one of the spectators. The doors will open at 7 o’clock and a preliminary game will entertain the crowd until the big game starts at 8 o'clock. The local lineup includes former high school stars of both Decatur high school and Decatur Catholichigh school and Manager Smith indicated he would start the same combination which started against the Berne netters last Saturday. The Electricians are out after the northern Indiana Independent net title this year, and pre-season indications are to the effect that any team that wins from the locals will have to be far above the average. The public is invited to the game tonight. ——————o ’ • SIDELINES * Columbus. 0., Nov. 19. —Bob Grads halfback on the Ohio university football team, appeared for practice yesterday with one hand in a cast, hut he will be ready for action again when the Ohioans face Illinois in the season final Saturday. Grady was hurt in the practice game against Kenyon Saturday. Ohio may start an entirely new backfield in the final, which will decide which °f the two teams is to finish in second place in Big Ten standing. Madison, Wis. — Scoring plays are being stressed at the University of Wisconsin football camp this week as the Badgers prepare for the final game of the season against Minnesota Saturday. All season Wisconsin has lacked punch when within their opponents' ten yard line and Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite intends to overcome what he termed their “non-scor-ing complex'’ Milto Lubratovic’i, giant tackle, is recovering from injuries received Oct. 26 and it is expected the entire Badger team will be in shape for the game. South Bend, Ind. —Only four or five of Notre Dame's football teams worked out yesterday, the regulars taking a rest after their gruelling battle against Southern California. Coach Knute Rockne was not on the field, but is recovering rapidly from a leg infection whtoli kept him in bed for several weeks and he expects to be on the sidelines when the Irish meet Northwestern at Evanston Saturday. He expects to attend practice tomo--row. Evanston. 111. — There was some doubt in Northwestern's grid camp today as to the probable starting backfield for the Notre Dame game Saturday. Al Moore has not recovered from injuries received in the Indiana conflict and may not start. Russ Bergherm. star hack of the Wildcat team, is in good condition. Os Baxter or Bill Griffin may fill Moore's place, with Johnny Haas or Lee Hanley st quarter back. Lafayette, Ind. —No injuries of serious moment were noted in the bruised and battered Big Ten champions as they went through their limbering up exercises on the practice field yesterday afternoon in preparation for the Indiana tilt Saturday. Coach Phelan apparently succeeded in making the Boilermakers realize that the lowly Hoosiers may not be so much of a setup, after all, and the final week's practice got underway just as others have. The one big aim now is to beat Indiana, thus closing the season with a clean record and continued possession of the Old Oaken Bucket. Bloomington, Ind. —Coach Pat Page

has taken a tip from the Purdue-lowa game, and started the week with defensive work against overhead tactics which clinched the Big Ten title for Purdue last Saturday. With a victory at lust under their belts, the Hoosiers feel that they ' might close the season in glory with a victory over the champions. The .earn suffered a hard pummellng, however, in eking out its 19-14 fourth quarter victory over 'Northwestern last Saturday, and may show the effects of the struggle. Crawfordsville, Ind. The little Giants of Wabash had the same team on the practice, field yesterday which had defeated the Chicago Y. M. C. A. Satuiday, and were engrossed in the knotty problem of how to beat their old rivals at DePauw this week. it will be homecoming for Wabash, with probably the biggest crowd of the season. Greencastle. Ind.. -DePauw ligers went through limbering up exercises yesterday afternoon in preparation for the annual classic contest with Mahash at Crawfordsville next Saturday. It looked probable that Beem. tackle, would still be out of the game this week, and there was some doubt if Stegall, center, would recover sufficiently from his injuries last Saturday, to play throughout the contest. o TWO GRID TEAMS APPEAR AS BEST New York. Nov. 19. — (U.R) With the 1929 roothall season entering the final weeks of competition, sectional. leaders have been firmly established in every section of the country and two teams—Notre Dame and the Uni--versify of Pittsburgh—-stand out a* i the leading contenders for national championship honors. Both Notre Dame and Pitt improved their titular claims during the past week-end. Rockne's Irish nosing out Southern California by the slim margin of a point after touchdown while the Panthers swamped a reputedly i powerful defensive Carneg.e Tech; team by 34 to 13. Despite the closeness of their win l over the Pacific coast team, the Irish I maintain front ranking in the race for, i national honors, because of the diffi-i cult schedule they have played. Pitt | fans contend that the Panthers’ de j cisive win over Carnegie entitles them to rating above Notre Dame. Carnegie having held the Rockneitesj to a 7 to 0 score early in the season. However, comparative scores furnish an uncertain basis on which to rate teams and the majority of critics will continue to give Notre Dame first consideration. The defeat of Cornell's hitherto unbeaten and untied eleven by Dartmouth left Pitt as the only remaining contender for eastern sectional honors. A victory over Penn State in their remaining game will give the Panthers a sectional championship. Notre Dame is forced to share midwestern sectional honors with Purdue, only undefeated Big Ten conference team. By beating lowa Saturday the Boilermakers cinched their first championship in 32 years of conference competition. Tennessee and Tulane remain unbeaten ami untied in the south. Tennessee having eliminated Vanderbilt from the race for sectional honors Saturday. Unfortunately the two teams do not meet and both appear likely to complete their season unbeaten. In this event Tennessee, having played the harder schedule, generally will be conceded the sectional honors. California held its lead on the Pacific coast by nosing out Washington Saturday but has not sectional leadership. The Bears meet Stanford this week and will enter the contest as the underdog. Unless they w n, the coast conference will end in a triple tie between California, Stanford and Southern California. o Indiana Central Schedule Released f a Dec. 10 —Rose Poly. here.

I At 8 o'clock tonight Carl Smith wiU eend his Decatur General Electric netters out on the local hardwood against one of the best independent net teams in northern Indiana. Bowsers of Fort Wayne and the Electricians have been rivals on the hardwood for several I years. A great h.it le is promised. Both , teams ate composed if former high school net stars. The locals got off to a gieat statt last Saturday when they defeated the Berne A. C. netters at Berne 38-29. A capaci y crowd is expeted at the Decatur high school gymnasium tonight Better get there early if you want a good seat. z Bill Beil, Bob Hill, Bob Strickler, Hockey Mylott and a bunch of other former high school stars are on the G. E. squad—and it promises to be c. great battle. Wednesday night at 8 o'clock Coach George Lament will crack the oh'. | (hampalgn- bottle over the good ship Commodore when its sails put on its first trip of the 1929-30 basketball season.

Father Joseph Hesston, fa'-lilty manager of the Commodores announced today that till persons who had purchased tickets and had not yet obtained them could do so at the gymnasium I Wednesday night. Coach Laurent still uncertain who will start the Commocores in the opening scramble. It is highly probable that most of the squad will see action before the games ends—unless Hunting ton shows more strength than is anticipated. This certainly promises to be a great basketball year for Adams county and ' this w eek will see practically alb teams in acticu some place. Coach Piney Bryan's Monroe Bearkatz un'oosed a lot of tricss last Saturday night and sent the Monmouth Eagles home with a 62-16 defeat. The defeat failed to di'hearten the.

VASCONCELOS BEING HUNTED Defeated Mexican Candidate For President Declares Himself Elected Nogales, Sonora, Mcx.. Nov. 19.— (U.R) -lose Vasconcelos, defeated antireelectionist candidate for president, eluded soldiers today after leaving :i railroad train at the Empalme railroad junction at Guyamas. Acting on a warning that he was to be arrested at Hermosillo, Vasconcelos disappeared Empalme. Trainmen arriving here said that soldiers boarded the train at Hermosillo. Vasconceli-Las here believed that their leader would be spirited into the United States by friends, either going by steamer or airplane from Guaymas. Socle of the defeated candidate's 'supporters attempted to persuade 'i Culiacan, Sinaloa, undertaker to ship him out of the codntiy in a coffin, but the mortician had refused because of fear of the government, it was ro ported. The search for Vasconcelos gained impetus yesterday when he issued a statement from an unknown hiding place, declaring himself president of Mexeco and urging his adherents to overthrow the present government in open rebellion. Mayor Eduardo Soto, of Nogales, yesterday received a telegram from Governor Francisco Elias of Sonora, informing him that Vasconcelos was due here last night and asking protection of civil authorities. Soto said he would comply, hut Vasconcelos did not appear. Mexico City, Nov. 19. —(U.R) — The Mexican supreme court has supported Paseul Ortiz Rubio’s claims of a landslide victory in Sunday’s bloody presidential elections and a gradual return to normal conditions was being effected today.
