VISITORS WIN GAME IN LAST TWO MINUTES Commodores Lo s e Two Regulars While Leading By 11-point Margin Decatur Cath o 1 i c high school Commodores went down Io defeat at the hands of New Haven high school, 25-20, in a great basketball game played before a large crowd at Catholic high school gymnasium last nig b t It was really •> victorious defeat because the Commodores had an 11-point advantage when two Decatur regulars were sent to the showers on personal fouls with 10 minutes remaining to nlay. The New Haven rally was against the utility men ami was not even enjoyed by the band of Bull Dog fans who followed their team to this city last night. A mighty Commodore aggregation played the visitors completely off the'r feet, in every department of the game for 30 minutes. Moser, l ake and Tustison, New Haven stars were at a loss against the onslaught of Mylott, Gass, Wemhoff. I.<ose, and Gage, and New Haven was badly beaten. Then the officials saw fight to tighten down on the game and Wemhoff. who had played the best center gam. of his long career and Petie Mylott who had added a thousand pounds of strength to the Commodore team by returning to the lineup last night, were victims of the scrutinizing eyes of the officals. From that moment on the New Haven netters had control of the plays. In the first half Bill Gass pushed the ball through the net after about 10 seconds had elapsed and the Commodores rushed the offense continually during the open ing minutes. Decatur went into a 7-1 lead. The Commodores were comple.ely outplaying their opponents and their passing and handl-

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12. 1929.

e H. ntvSwfcn We’re telling the whole wide world this morning that we saw one of the best basketball gpmes last night we've ever seen. —oOo - And not a single Commodore fan should feel bad. —oOo— The laiurentmen had an 11-point lead over the hard-hitting New Haven Bull Dogs with 10 ni nates to go. Wemhoff and Mylott went to the showers on personal fouls and front then on church was out. —oOo — But the Commodores with Mylott and Gass playing the first 30 minutes looked like an unbeatable net aggregation. The Decatur players were complete masters of the game for 30 minutes. New Haven didn't have a look-in. —oOo — Carl Lose, playing his first season as regular forward for the Commodores, must have made his Dad feel proud last night — Carl handled the ball like Davy Banks and showed that while he had an Jtis Riley build, he was as good a ,uard as It s Uncle Frank ever was >a<k it the 14 and 'ls basketball lay. —oOo — Wemhoff., (yes one of the Wemhoffs), played the best game Basketbawls has ever seen him play. He outjumped

Gage covered a hot corner on defense, and as we remember the game, the Bull Dogs never managed to get around his side for a field goal. -oOo — It was some game and it looks like the Commodores were going to have the best team they have had in the last six seasons. —oOo — Brsketbawls believes that it will be a different story at New Hiven, provided ths fullstrength lineup plays the entire game——oOo — Ed Liechty, chief growler for Berne Bears, down by Berne station. but loose In the Wednesday issue of his Berne ("E" Is silent > Witness. —oOo - My goodness, Ed's girl either turned him down or he got hold of some poison coca-cola for he certainly was making “whoop e' 'about Decatur high school’s basketball team, Decatur proper, and Basketbawls. —oOo — And here Decatur was nice enough to the Berne station boys to give them a game with the Yellow Jackets. —oOo — Here are a few samples of Ed's college education as used by him at Berne Station: “Ah-h-h Dicky boy. we know we're a small town and act

hickish and everyttitng like that. But say! we beat you in basketball last year and we’re trying our level best to do it again this year. And while we're talkin’, please Dicky boy, if the Bears do lick you, don't get mad and Loth at us like you did last year. It’s not part of the game. "Friday the Bears play the Curtis Insects at Decatur. Saturday on the Auditorium floor they'll be plenty of action between the Bears and the highly tooted Lancaster ciew from the county Wills. "Lookers on at the Decatur Yellow Jacket Bluffion Tiger game at R tiffton last Saturday are agreed on this opinion "Berne can heat Decatur." "After reading ‘Basket Bawls' by D. D. at the Decatur Democrat I Teel an urge to sharpen up my scalping kniic and make col I meat >f Monsieur Heller. He prat.led ■Ubly about the Decatur Yellow Jacket and Bluffton Tiger game, took a poke at th? officials, also Bit. k of the News Banner, mused over seine results of games played in 1 t 't-e loose with n > impedimenta whatever in this fashion: •‘lt is to laugh! For ever and evtr since ‘D. D.' began to conduct the column, he has been a volcano in constant e upt on. throwing hot lava on offcials, or round about Rules and Rule books. One is somewhat led to believe that he is the Personification of Perfection. "The Decatur Yellow Jackets are the I ttle, shrivelled, meagre, though somewhat loud and troublesome insects of the hour." —-000— And after reading these moans and sighs from the boy author of Berne station, we're

inclined to believe that there is a basketball game scheduled between Decatur and Berne station next Friday night. 000Os course Uaske.bawls gets mad i every once In a while, and of course a lot of Decatur fans do—- ■ specially when they see a 40-point i better net team lose a basketball game because of inefficient officiating you know how it is Ed, remember the regional last year. 000 Well, Yellow Jackets, don’t let the precampaign poison worry you—just name your own sco e and go into the warm-up contest Friday night remembering that you have a . basketball game to play Saturday night. —oOo — i We haven't changed our mind a I bit about the ontcome of the Fri-11 day game—it looks like Decatur ii by a comfortable margin of •say. i 2 or 15 points. ( —oOo— i S.mon Schwar.z. who pub- i lishes a newspaper on the oth- i er sid: of the street at Berne station has been poking fun ; 1 and other th ngs too numerous to mention at Basketbawls and the Curtismen believes like the other Berne station au hor i
