LOCAL NETMEN WIN GREAT TILT FROM BUCKEYES Gass Sinks Basket in (’losing Seconds For 17-15 Victory Decatur Catholic high school Commodores met a strong St. Rose of Lima. Ohio, basketball team in the St. Rose gymnasium and avenged, a defeat of earlier in the season. The Commodores returned home with a 17-15 victory and by i doing so. shoved their unbroken string of wins to four. Every Commodore player show<<l a lot of fight and a lot of basketball ability. Coach lai’irent l ad planned an entirely new game for his team and each player carried out it's part of a delayed offense attack in great style. Wemhoff nt center was a big help in obtaining the tip-off. Cass and Cage at f irwards were assets on point-getting, when points were most needed and both forwards moved back on defense to plug big holes in the floor. I’etie Mylott played his usual good game at guard and George Harris, hack guard, played the best game of his career. Carl I/tse went into the game in the closing minutes and accounted well for his wearing a green and gold uniform. The Commodores commanded the tip-off and played a slow, stalling game daring the first quarter. St. Rose failed to get possession of the ball and the quarter ended 0-0. In the second quarter Gass and Mylott broke through for field goals and Gage sank a charity-line

The Buckeye aggregation tied the* count and then Kirwin's free throw sent St? Rose into a 15 14 lead with about two minutes left. Pass sank a free throw knotting the count. In the closing seconds of th" game, when an overtime period threatened.

Vinegardner, Lima, (). o_ FIGHTER WILL TRY COME-BACK Chicago. Feb. 19.—(U.R) If it is poss’ble for anyone to “come back" Charl'e White will do it. That opinion spread over Chicago today in connection with the return to the ring of White, out- | standing lightweight of past years who believes he can knock out any of the present day fighters. A clean liver ever since the da" when he entered the fighting game. White at the age of 3S is try ng to "come-back” and add to a knockout record which is without parallel in the lightweight division. His come-back record will start next Friday fFght when he meets I Henry Perlick, one of the twins oi ' the fighting Perlick family. White is favored to win. Why Charlie is coming back into the ring is a puzzle. He is not in need of funds for he has a gymnasium which Ims been a huge success. Perhaps one must take White's word that "it is merely a desire of a fellow who should have been champion and never was” to 'try to come back and exhibit his abil ity. Charlie in his day fought twelve champions in 36 bouts anil never did get the title, despite the fact that he had most of his op | ponents on the floor Forerunners of Spring Arrive In Middlewest Chicago, Feb. 18 (UP)— The forerunners of spring—Robins and warmer weather were at home ir the middle and far west today. Wea her records that have stood as I long as 42 years were broken. In the region from the Mississipp' rive, valley to the Pasific coast, ex •ending north almost to the interna tional border, citizens went aboitt thtir wot It in tempera'tires ranging from 40 to 81 degtees above zero. At Kansas City, where ground hog • maneuvers had indicated severe weather for another six weeks, the mercury rose to 74 degrees* breaking a 42-year record. Trees in the City Parks housed Robins and continued balmy weather was the fore east of the weather bureau. Cheyenne, Wyo„ reported a 7u reading and Mlles City, Mont., famous for its sub-zero records, enjoyed 64 above weather.

TWELVE TEAMS ENTER TOURNEY Indianapolis. Ind. Fob. 19 (Special) Twelve teams from every sec lon of the state will play in the third annual state Catholic high school basketball fournamo.it which Is to be held ut the Armory, in Indianapolis, March 7 anil 8. The twelve teams offer th® st longest fi Id ever to fight for the slate crown and the right to represent Indiana in the national tournament which is to be held at iatyohl university, Chicago, March 19 to 24. Cathedral of Indianapolis, holding two legs on the trophy awarded the thr- e time winner of the event, I will compete against Central Catlm- | lie of Fort Wayne, Jasper AcademyJ Memorial of Evansville, St. Mary .- of Anderson. Sai led Heart of India napolls, St. Andrew's of Richmond Washington Catholic, Gibault of Vincennes, St. Mary's of Huntington, Catholic Central of Hammond, and li catur Catholic. The tournament promises to bo the greatest in history if the demand for tickets can be taken as a criteria. All indications point to having the 2.slii> eating capacity of th" n w Armory taxed at ail sessions Tickets will be plotted to each school in comparison to the number -sf students enrolled. o Fine goin' Commodores—You deserve the congratulations of all Adams county sport fans. The Commodore victory at St. Rose, Lima, last night means more han j:i-t a victory —It's a gteat win >ver one of Ohio’s greatest high school basketball teams. St. Ros: 1 has defeated C. C. of Fort Wayne, and many other fast-going basketball teams. Coach La .rent worked out a fast one on the St. Rosers last night and the plan worked to perfection. The slow offense appeal s* to be the Commodores' real bet for winn ng games. After tiring the guards of St. Rose Gass and Gage went through the highly touted Lima defense for dos -in baskets. Chaminade next Friday at Dayton, thio, an I by the way this t'hamintde ou fit is a tough assignment The Dayton team defeated St. Rose ec ally by 2 points. It looks more and more every day like the Commodores were going to be a real factor in the state Catholic net tourney at Indianapolis, Match 7 and 8. Coach- H rb Cui is is preparing he Jackets for the last game of ie season next Friday night—lt's going to be some game and indica-ion-i are that Garrett is pointing or a victory—ln fact every team Decatur has play d this season has nade an extraordinal y <'fort to •eat the Curtismen. Favorable reports still come from the bedside of Bill Bed. As the basketball season neat", t clo.ie, this nice spring weather is t least making an effort to help 'ans forget the net game and get •utdoors for baseball. tra,ck and teiilis. Th Fort Wayne Regional is going to lie as good as any in the state , -It seems probable that Bluffton tnd Huntington already have easy tickets to the Regional. Basketbawls don bis -if there is a team in the Bluffton sectional fiat can de 'eat the Suburbors and Hunting.or. should come through its sectional untainted, unless the Vikings resort to shoving and pushing ways. Either Columbia City or South Whitley should win the Columbia City sectional. And while Decatur has the edge—a decided edge—on all teams entered in the Fort Wayne sectional — it's going to be a tough assignment to eliminate three hard-hitting For.Wayne schools and New Haven. Easketbawls believes the Curtismen can do it —and the winner of the Fort Wayne sectional is going to have a big hand in th results of the Regional. The West Suburbers have picked a hard job for their closing game next Friday. Hartford (?ity Airdales come to the Suburb. Tiger officials have selecteo their usual run of officials (and we still think they should carry rule books), Hartford City will have a hard time getting
