Gym The Decatur General Electric chib basketball team will meet the Markle Independents here Tuesday night at 8:00 o’clock at Decatur high school gymnasium in a return bas-l ketball game. The Markle netters gave the locals a trim-; ming at Markle ten davs ago and the Electricians will make I an effort to even the count Tuesday night. Manager Carl Smith stated today that the Tuesday night lineup might be altered sightly and I that H ii probal r would be shift-i ed to "center ami Strickler Io for-' ward. Tile local independent | team has been drilling all week for the game and it promises to be one of the week's best encounters. Markle is represented by a group of former higli school and college stars, four of whom are more than six feet in height. The M-irkle team has not been defeated this season. The local lineup probably will include Bell and Strickler at forward; H 11 at center and Mylott or | Kleinknight and Krick at guards. | A preliminary game will start at 7 o'clock between the G. E. Motors and the Monroe Independents. Gunnar Elliott of Fort Wayne will officiate at the big game. Tickets are now on sale at the West End restaurant or may be obtained at the doos the night of the game. No seats will be reserved and the doors will open at 6:30 o'clock. The local G. E. Club netters have been displaying a fine brand of basketball this season and the gymnasium has been packed at each game. The Tuesday night game promises to be the best of the season. o — P H i —• Now that the smoke has rolled away from the hardwood since the week-end, Decatur high school Yellow Jackets loom as one of the greatest teams in northeastern Indiana. —oOo — The Curtismen disposed of two ancient foes Friday and Saturday night. The South Side game Saturday night was the dessert for the Friday night Bear Roast. , — oOo — The Green Archers were completely outplayed and outclassed. Decatur enjoyed a comfortable lead in the first stanza, and during the hast 20 minu.es the Jacketmen contended themselves with passing and jumping. —oOo — Here's the menu for the last ( week before Christmas vacation. . Tuesday night, December 17 Decatur G. E. Club vs. Markle at Decatur. Friday, December 20 Decatur Catholic vs. St. Rose, Lima, Ohio, here. Decatur high school vs. North Side, Fort Wayne, there. Monroe Vs. Monmouth at Decatur. Jefferson vs. Bryant at Portland. Geneva vs. Poling at Pennville. Kirkland vs. Berne at Berne. Saturday, December 21 Kirkland vs. Central Catholic, Fort Wayne, at Kiskland. —oOo— Berne Bears came back strong Saturday night and disposed of Lancaster high school in easy fashion — Just another bit of evidence in the proof that Adams county net teams are far superior to Wells county teams. —oOo — The Commodores meet St. Rose of Lima at Catholic high school gym next Friday night—to some people its just another basketball game, but it means more than that to 2,500 Commodore fans. —oOo — St. Rose is the one Catholic high

I school team in the middlewest which has caused the Commodores lots of trouble. St. Rose was the first team to defeat the Commo- | dores on their home floor. -oOo—Lust year the Buckeyes won a pair from the Laurentmen. —oOo - This year Coach Laurent is hoping to even a lot of counts — Basketbawls believes the Commodores can win — and it will be a cinch if the Green and Gold quintet plays like it did last Wednesday. — oGo — St. Rose has one of the best i Cat hoi c high school teams in Ohio | this year. —oOo— A record crowd is expected at the tilt. Tickets will go on sale tonight for the encounter, which always draws the largest crowd of the season. —oOo— Lima usually brings 300 or 400 juis with the team——oOo — Get your tickets early, folks. —oOo — The Curtismen, fresh from two swell wins this last week-end will journey to Fort Wayne again this time to play North Side of Fort Wayne. North Side was completely lou.ed last Saturday by Central. —oOo— The Curtismen look like a finished basketball team at present. If the Jackets cont nue to improve it's going to be hard to keep them from going to the state tourney. —oOo— Curloy Reynolds, who has had his ins and outs as a basketball player was certainly having one of his “ins" Saturday. Curley scored 14 points forth eYellow Jackets. —oOo — All the Curtismen played a great game Saturday — and when the Fort Wayne sports writers concede that Decatur has a good net team—Decatur certainly has a good net team. —oOo — COMMODORES.

Hack will be here tomorrow and has promised to reach a decision. 2. If Shires defeats George Trafton of the Chicago Bears' professional football team here tonight. "Kid Gabbo” is favored to win. Tiafton believes he can put a crimp ’n the me eoric career of his talk ative rival because he outweighs him 40 pounds. 3. Officials of the Chicago stadium cling to their determination
