DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT MONDAY, IaNVaRY 20, l'’ : "

Harry Rlconda will got another | opportunity to land a third base j man Job this time with Clncln-; i natl. h; The week brings a lot of basket- - hall Interest. Here's the menu: Tuesday night COMMODORES vs. St. Johns of Delphos, here. Friday night YI'I LOW JACKETS vs. Central. I Foit Wayne, here. commodores vs. Central Pathol'c. Fort Wayne, there. Berne vs. Monroevi.le, at Berne. Monroe vs. Hartford, at Hartford; Kiik'tmd v,s. Petroleum, at Kirkland. Saturday night COMMODORES vs. Andrews, nt Andrews. J'fferson va. Monmouth, at Deeat ,r. And Friday night both Decatur , high school net teams will meet two of their toughest rivals. The Commodores go to Fort Wayne Catholic where thev will attempt to revenge a defeat of last week at the hands of the Irish. While the Laurentmen will enter 'be game a decided underdog, it won't be an impossibility to trim I C. C. And down here at Decatur high school hardwood Coach Murray, Mendenhall wi 1 send his Central Tigers against the Curttemen. The Tigers will have to improve greatly if they expect to whip the Yellow Jackets. They have a lot of drive and never surrender and have a big tough team — but the Tigers will have to improve to come close to the Curtismen. If the Jackets can whip the T'-ers decisively, and Basketlrawls be'ieves they' can do it. the Decat arn will enter the Fort . Wayne tourney a favorite.

There won't be any question about the outcome of the game, if Carl Gerber can get the tip from Lyons, Central center. And this Isiy Lyons is about us lean u banket ba I player ever to war a Central suit. Don’t think for a minute that Central will be a set-up. because Kendallville won last Saturday — Central played an off game just like all net teams do now and then. “Al Canone" Keller, who fills a column or two of the sport pag“ if the Her ild-Press at the end of tale road 16 sorb of gave us the ■azzheT'-s for not getting a sectional tourney. Thanke Crowds, we enjoy razzing from you about as well as we like this sub-zero weather hut we're assurred of playing basketbar teams instead of gunmen only one thing worse could have happened and that would have been for The Great Mr. Trester and his jellyfish committee to have sent Decatur to Huntington. Oh, we could have stood going to Bluffton —-because we can beat basketbtall teams — but a basketball team like Decatur has just can't play against these bomb-throwing, pushing, shoving, combinations like the Kreigbaummen. Indiana and Purdue lead the conference in basketlsill. Indiana iw topple from first p'ace tonight when the Hoosiers meet. Michigan at Bloomington— Basketbawls is going to throw himself wide-open to a lot of razzing — in case he's wrong — because we honestly believe that the Curtismen are 19 points, possibly more, better than Fort Wayne Central. If we can't beat the Mendenhall machine—then something is wrong. It looks to ns like Central i n't •is tough as the West Suburb. But we're the same guy that's made a lot of "arrows” in picking winners in various things. • We can't say a word against the officiating at Fort Wayne Central Saturday night — the officials were Tudor and Curtis —>-ut we can say this — we still think Herb Curtis is one of the best coaches in Indiana.

Arbuckle of Kokomo and of Fort Wayne work gi " n ' bme next Friday nlßb' Tudor ,| ( me some good officiating ll " year and some not so good * n«'s "on." a player JiW< '' nnl ' t way with any rough stuffArbuckle handled M**” 1 northern Indiana games last season. He's said to be one of the best in tne state. This in the Mail I Dear Basketbaw's: Say by the way bawls hate _ seen'any of the COMMIES lateb since they have started A-• Shave Club. They have resolved not to shave until they haw » ' a game. Several members of th' 'earn have joined. These lx,ys .n Indiana sure resort to awtul t.i' Ges when they lose a tew games. Say von don't suppose that Del Chos Wi l think Decatur has iny I ported members of the House s | David do you? We're with you COMMIEb. viu 1 but don't step on your whiskers : And don't scratch those Delphos . boys too bad. “The Piccolo P'-at Boys. Rich Golf Tourney , Starts In Mexico
