Harry Hebble, Decatur utility man was sent in at forward alsiut 10 minutes after the game started and was the cdiief scoring threat. De hot, Do- ; catur floor guard played a good floor , game and sank two long shots from j center. t During the opening minutes of the ( game both teams battled on even , terms and after the first five minutes , Decatur went into a 7-6 lead. Wina- t mac evened the count at 7-all. and after that managed to hold a 1-point ( margin until near the end of the first ( period. ( In the second half Winamac stead- ( ily pulled away, after the Decatur f defense had been torn to threads.

The Eagles played super-j ior basketball in every department. Lytle. Monmouth center and Bro- 1 kaw. forward, were the mainsprings ‘ on the Monmouth offense. Coach 1 Haggard used four guards, all of ’ whom fitted well into the well-greas-ed Monmouth machine. The Eagles jumped into an early 1 lead and slashed their way through i the bewildered Geneva defense for a 1 20-6 lead at half time. The Cardinals 1 appeared better in the second period t and began a rally which brought the t score up to 21-15. At this point the i Haggardmen began all over again and retained a comfortable lead, through- , out the rest of the game. < Lineup and summary: I Monmouth (32) F.G. FT. T.P.

It was the opening game of the season. The Tigers started with a veteran lineup and soon had a heavy lead, moun’ing to 17 to 4 at the halt. The Engineers made only two field goals. Moffett, Ragsdale and Crawley led in “coring. Technicality Holds Star From Net Games Logansport, Ind., Dec. 7—(UJ?)—The services of Ray Steinmetz, senior in the Logansport high school, may be lost to the basketball team as the result of a technical error in making out c'ass standings four years ago. Steinmetz is being held out of games until a decision is rendered by the Indiana High ’School Athletic Association. When the student was in the SA grade he was flunked in History. But the' clerk making up the records listed him as a 9A man, for high school Freshman the following year. Thus he is really In his fourth year, because he was not promoted, but by the error on the books he would be in his fifth year In school. However, he has played but two years on the high school team.

FATE TONIGHT Chicago, Dec. 7- -(U.K;-lowa by tv night probably will know whether it is to remain a Big Ten member or get out of the western conference by I January 1. Hawkeye representatives have come to town to meet with the western conference faculty athletic committee and present a plea for reinstatement in the Big Ten—-a plea that now's under consideration. The faculty committee met last night. It did not make any announce ment as to whether it intended to reins, ate lowa or allow the present temporary suspension to become permanent. The Hawkeyes were suspended last spring for alleged proselyting of athletest. The suspension was to become effective January 1. lowa has done all possible to reta'n its Big Ten membership. Right now it has a lengthy brief before the faculty committee —a brief which se.s out that lowa has "put its house in order” as ordered and is entitled to Big Ten re-instatement. No one seems willing to talk about what the committee intends doing toward lowa, although there are many rumors. There is the opinion that Michigan, Illinois and Chicago intend voting against the Hawekeyes. Also there are the stories that Wisconsin, Northwestern, Indiana and Purdue will be with lowa in the voting. Opinions seem to differ regarding Minnesota and Ohio. But when it all is summed up. it is only conjecture, and anything the faculty committed does will not be surprising. Last night the faculty committee met with the Big Ten athletic directors and this writer has it on reliable authority that the lowa case wasn't even mentioned. Finally the athletic directors departed and the faculty committee stayed in session. • It was presumed that the lowa case was discussed after the directors departed. Today, according to good authority, the athletic directors were to be called into another mee.ing with the faculty committee. The schedule makers still are await ing the faculty committee decision on lowa before making basketball schedules for, this season. They don't know what to do because of tiie possibility that lowa may be ousted. Those schedule makers we»e to get into action today if an lowa decision was reported. There was a distinct sentiment toward lowa at the meeting last night One athletic director said he "certainly would give the case a lot of consideration before oust.ng anyone." Other opinions had it that the Hawkeyes may be continued under suspen ion for a while longer. SECOND TEAM WINS EASILY Tos ing 255 field goals through the act in the 50 minutes of play Decatur high school Second team drubbed Pleasant Mills high school at Decatur high school gymnasium last night. The final score tvas 51-5. The local netters he’d he visitors to two field goals, one each half. Sh aluka, Buft'enbarger and Fcassl were the chief scorers for the local netters. scoring six. five and six field goals respectively. The locals led at the half 29-3 and luring the second stanza, Coach Everhart sent several utility men into the tilt to save his regulars for the Bluffton tilt tonight.

There are signs of the fast break game coming hack again. This s yle is used whenever the of- 1 sense has a chance to get through the 1 defen. e before it gets set. It is also I used from intercepted passed. The ; theory is to get three men on two or two on one and with clever passing near the basket get a short shot. This I game is particularly strong because i most of the shots are short. If there ; are fast clever men in the lineup it is > hi rd to stop. j The back guard starts the play by j getting ball off the board and with a , short dribble passes high to (C) locat- , ed in the checked area near the side line. This area represents an unguarded section of the floor where there is little danger of interception. The player (C) passes the ball to (F) breaking down the middle. The player (F) dribbles from place he receives ball to foul ring where he passes to the open man cutting in from side. The player (F) in midfloor must be the cleverest passer on the team in order to ciptalize on scoring chances. Beckner, Sibley, Correll, and Strickland, of recent Indiana teams, are types for this position. Both guards trail the middle manThere is no dribbling in the defensive and just enough in offensive end of flocr to draw a guard to the diibbler thus freeing a teammate nearer the basket. This is a quick way of scoring and is demoralizing to the defense. MONDAY—THE LONG PASS GAME 0 Indiana And DePauw To Meet In Net Game Bloomington, Ind., Dec. 7— (U.R) — Indiana university bask tball team i will meet DePauw tonight in the first i game of the year for Indiana.

BEBNE BEARS WIN HARD TILT Berne, Dec. 7. -(Sped*!)- Bertie high school Bears rallied in the last, minute of a basketball game here last night and*turned back the crack Union Chy high schpol netters by a scorej rtf 29 26. Ehrsarn, for the winners, and Fisher, for the losets, were the j outstanding players of the game. In the preliminary the Berne high school Cubs defeated Decatur high school’s Second team B hy a scoie of 12-8. The preliminary was slow and at half time the count was tied at 2-2. Both teams fumbled a lot. hi the main go, Berne took an early lead and in the first 10 minutes the locals had run the count up to 11-3. Union City took a time out and aft *r a rest came back strong. The score at the half was 11-15 In favor of Berne. In the second period Union City! tied the count on several occasions' and with a minute to go the countj was 26-26. Ehrsarn, Berne forward; tossed the bal Ithrough the net from •near the center of the floor and doting the last 30 seconds a stalling game was resorted to. Ehrsarn was the outstanding player for Berne while Fisher, Union Citycenter was the big threat for the visitors, scoring 8 times from the field.

The game starts at 8:15 o'clock and the score should arrive at this office about 10 o'clock. The defeat at Winamac last night was not entirely unexpected. The margin of loss, however, was a little i hard to take. It goes to show that a basketball team has to play basketball every minute of the game. The Yellow Jackets played a j good brand of basketball during the first stanza of the Winamac game and held the home team to a 21-15 margin. The Decatur defense cracked in the second period and the offense was only able to ■ count twice from the field. But ton ght’s another night — and another game—and another team to piay—and it’s Bluffton. About 250 Decatur net fans will journey to the West Suburb to see the annual feud between two rivals. The crowd is promised a good game, regardless of the results, and sometimes the game gets so exciting that it borders on riot. — Decatur should have the game in control throughout. We’d say the Curtismen should win by a comfortable margin—unless the Friday night defeat has torn the team up too much. Auburn high school trounced Fort Wayne South Side at Fort Wayne last night—and the South Siders have another tough scrap on tonight when they meet Paul White’s New Haven Bull Dogs. Central of Fort Wayne tackles Horace Mann of Gary at Fort Wayne tonight. It looks like Horace Mann should win by a 12 point margin. Now that Buck and Roger have ! had their fun —they’U have the oppor- • tunity of seeing a great basketball . game tonight. The Jacketmen will t go into the game a decided favorite - to win—but these Bluffton-Decatur . games are never set-ups. I I The West Suburbers have been working all week on defense and offense—and they’.e determined to make the Curtismen work hard for a win. The Tigers have a very unimpressive season record. They usually do

have—but they always piay basketball against Decatur. The two Second teams will clash at the West Suburb tonight at 7 o'clock — the big game is scheduled to get underway at 8:15— Even the preliminaries are tough scraps at Bluffton. And we want to tell you this before the game Bluffton always has a ! good "one-eyed" referee, without a rule book, at the Decatur game. So ft means the Yellow Jackets have to win by 20 points to win by I<> po tits. The Yellow Jackets spent the night at Logansport—and arrived at Bluffton at 1 o'clock this afternoon.— They will have a light workout at the West Suburb auditorium this afternoon and then will await the opening of the game. And having no alibis — Fearing roth'ng Baaketbnwh is willing io share in the glory of a win or th»— well, what we were going to say any- ! wav was: "WE STILL BELIEVE THAT AN OFFICIAL SHOULD CARRY OR HAVE ACCESS TO A RULE BOOK WHEN OFFICIATING ANY HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC EVENT. Decatur Girls lost a tough one last night io Auburn. Both teams scored the same number of field goals—but the visitors were a Little better on free throws. The Second team B took a crack on the nose at Berne last night—but the Second team A easily outcla-sed Pleasant Mil's 51-5. Berne Bears won a great victory last night from Union City. The Bears, and Simon Schwartz and Ed Liechty and about 200 Berne fans are coming to Decatur next Friday— The last time Decatur and Berne met—-it was terrible —Berne hopes to repeat—Coach Curtis and the Jacketmen say it's impossible. Basketbaw s believe - Decatur should win and will win if the Jackets play basketball. Berne has a good team — the Bears lost a close one to New Haven at New Haven—and Decatur defeated New Haven one point here. Yellow Jackets, after we trim the West Suburbers tonight let's BEAT BERNE. o— Mr. and M.s. J. Earl Butler and daughter'Martha Erma will motor to Bluf£jou,this evening and witness the Decatur-Bluffton' basketball game.
