ANDERSON NET TEAM WINS BY 22-8 MARGIN Decatur Catholic Netters. Hard Hit By Injuries, Are Defeated Decatur Catholic high school Commodores foundered on the rocks and went down to defeat, 22-8, before the onslaught of St. Marys high school basketball team of Anderson at Decatur Catholic gymnasium last night. The game was a tight defensive battle in which only 9 field goals were made during the entire plav. The Laurent men fought bravely without the services of i’etie Mylott ami Bill Gass and at times it appeared as if the local netters would wipe out the four-point lead Anderson garnered in the first sianza. but during the last io minutes of the game Gage who had been doing the only offensive work the Commodores had done was ejected from the scrap on personal fouls, and from then on Anderson had things well under control. It was Decatur Catholic's first defeat of the season, and the fans never surrendered. With only five minutes remaining to play, and a miracle need ed to swing the tide of the tilt, the[ cheering section was still running wild with enthusiasm. The team, however.! lacked the offensive punch and conge-j quently St. Marys won its tirst game 1 on the Decatur floor since the two schools have been playing. Anderson presented a great defensive team, so efficient that for the first time in history of Commodore basketball the local netters were able to collect only two field goals during! the game, both of these coming in the second period. The St. Marys offense during the; first half was totally void of efficiency ! and time after time a Decatur player! would grasp a St. Marys shot off the] backboard and start down the floor only to lie stopped by the Anderson defense. The visitors started scoring when Laughlin.-forward, tossed in a free throw two minutes after the game started. Broderick scored a field goal and Tyska added a tree-throw point. Wemhoff counted the only point Decatur made in the first stanza. The i last ten minutes of the first half was! all defense and neither team scored ANOTHER LADY [ BECOMES FRIEND !

If the dribble should be limited to one bounce the first groun to voice its disapproval rightly will he the fans, c . for a spectacular element of the game will he removed. The dribble properly used offers one t iof the mo.-t dangerous offensive wea- e J pons. On the other hand, if It is allow- f ; ed to go unchecked it will be the down- n ' fall of a good team. The dribble must be carefully coached, not only in technique but in its proper uses. ( The dribble is used in the following e ses. (1) By the back guard to get t the ball in play after taking it off the • board. (2) By the floor guard advanc- t ing the ball to a set defense. (3) By 1 the shooter who has an open way to ! the basket. I 4» By the offensive man . to make the defensive mm declare 5 himself and the’reby free a teammate , tor a pass. f When closely guarded, the dribbler should be crouched lew and never 1 bounce higher than the l.nees. 1 He ( ! should be careful to have his body be- ( (tween the guard and ball as much as ■ possible. Dribblers should not cause ! contact, as they are liable and will be t : fouled for charging. On the dtlbhle in ( I the open, the dribbler should assume t I a more natural position bouncing the J ! ball with his fingers a little below the 1 waist and looking ahead for an open j teammate. It is not necessary for the , dribbler in the open to see the ball but ‘ instead he should "feel" it.

HOOSIERS BUY NEW YORK STAR New York, Dec. 5. — (U.R) Personnel of American professional basketball league teams will be changed ns a result of the drastic housecleaning on the part of the original Celtics of New York. Disappointed over the showing of his high salaried team and small at- ' tendance nt home games, Manager J. i Furrey Ims sold Dave Banks to Fort Wayne and Nat Holman anil Stretch Meehan to Syracuse. In return Syracuse sent Babe Barlow to New York and the Celtics handed him over to Paterson. If Banks reports to Fort I Wayne the Hoosiers will send their stair forward. Benny Borgeman, to Pateiunn. Rlconda was made a free agent by ! the Celtics, who secured Jackie Page, former St. John's college star, from Brooklyn. Army-Notre Dame Tilt Will Be Annual Event South Bend, Ind.. Dec. S—(UP)5 —(UP) — The Notre Dame-Army annual eastern gridiron contest will become the football classic of the year, replacing the Army-Nivy game in that category, "Biff” Jones, retiring Army Coach, said here today. ' Jones doesjio: believe the Army and Navy will resume gridiron relations, and doubts if it would be to the advantage of tlie Army to do so, now that the annual tilt with Notre Dame has become a sell-out. 0 —— — Ramblers May Play Nebraska Next Year South Bend. Ind.. Dec. S—(UP) —The likelihood of renewed football relations between Notre Dame and Nebraska held major interest as unofficial word of games which are likely to be scheduled, has come from Irish authorities. It is believed in many quartets that a game with Nebraska will be played next fall. Other tilts said to have been tentatively agreed upon are with Navy. Indiana. Carnegie Tech. Southern Methodist, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, and Southern California. r q ■ Dh ' 4 ■——’AlX— j It was tough to see the Commodores ' fighting against all sorts of odds, lose Its first game in three starts last night. Anderson deserves a lot of credit, tho ih, for they t eked a bunch of fighting Commodores. The Laurentmen had possession of 1 the ball a greater part of the game, but the offense was unable to petie- , tiate the St. Marys' defense and consequently there were few shots from under the basket. Bruff Cleary, well-known Western Conference basketball official worked the game last night and did a fine job. Os course the fans differed with Bruff on a few occasions—but the “oid boy” certainty held the scrap well under his control. And from Buck’s trusty typewriter comes this: "Dick Heller of Decatur has phoned lor two ticke.s to the Decatur-Bluff-ton game here Saturday night. If he enjoys seeing his Yellow’ Jackets defeated, he should get more than his money’s worth eh what? Now Mr. Buckner you know the Tigers aren't in the same class in basketball with the Yellow Jackets. Why, the Tigers eve.' lost to Kendallville last week, and we hear they were lucky to lose by only three points. Ami don’t think Basketbals is such a good fellow that he'd come to the West Suburb if he thought for a minute the Yellpw Jackets would get trimmed. If the Curtismen don’t beat the Tigers by 25 points, we'll almost be inclined to feel bad — Roger. Wells county’s contribution to comic opera, who disappeared from the West Suburb s sporting page last fall, after taking several deep digs at Decatur and all that Decatur holds sacred in a hletics —was real nice to Basketbawls —he got us two seats tor Saturday night’s workout right in the midst of the Bluffton reserved seat section. Won't that be nice, sitting right behind Bill Kunkle, Jr. and Joe Simmons, and Harry Brown and the two West Suburb Red Heads—We probably won't be permitted to do much cheering—but you can't arrest a man for thinking. Then Buck comes forth in his sport-; ing column with the following mlsde-l

"Only dl>out> 18 more days until ( Christmas and about that many mote • i years before a Decatur team will defeat Bluffton in any kind of an athletic i' event. : I f "We'd say Bluffton Saturday night, by about 10 points " and so t'nr> r Into the night. We can"t undertake to interpert these wild goings-on, but we're sure that Buck in his last statement meant that he thought Bluffton would score about 10 points during the work-out’ Saturday night. I But In the meantime, before the Saturday practice, the Yellow Jackets have a tough game on their Schedule-— Coach Curtis will leave Friday morning wlht a bus load of Jacketmen'for Winamac where Decatur plays Friday night. i •* If the Yellow Jackets can return to Decatur late Saturday night with two! victories tucked safely away, we'll say they've got some team —and if we get over the "hump” iTiday night—that! very thing is bound to happen. Walter Krick has to sit around on I Sundays and listen to his brother-in-law Roger run wild on what Bluffton! would do if it had good athletic teams —Mr. Krick, we admire you for being able to bear it.
