At times both teams showed signs of roughness, but the officials were close and held the game well in hand. Bill (lass was the outstanding scorer of the game with a total of 19 points. He was hot on the long ones and when guarded out the floor he would rush for the basket and would either score a short one or be fouled and make the free throws. Petie Mylott played a fine defensive game. Wemhoff was in every play and Gage and I .use showed reasons for being on the regular team. It was the last game for Wemhoff. Mylott.

DECATUR DaiLY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, MARCH I, W3O.

IT’S NOT ALL LOST • The sectional basketball tcurney is over as far as Decatur high school Yellow Jackets are concerned. Carl Gerber, Ivan Reynolds. Dick Engle and Harry Hebble have played their last game for Decatur high school. Decatur was defeated —or rather we will say Cantral was acclaimed the winner of the Friday afternoon game by the none too i competent officials —Herb Curtis and the Yellow Jackets came home. Off cials can cause Decatur to lose basketball games. Time can rob the school of good players. School teachers can remove players from the team because of low grades. Cut the fact remains abave all that Herb Curtis smiles through it all. * Herb, in Basketbawls’ opinion s the greatest basketball coach in Indiana. That smile, that grin at fata, which has not been kind to Coach Curtis in recent years—that desire to build men rather than steal basketball games—that something which Herb Curtis has, that gives everyone confidence who knows him, is the most valuable asset that Decatur high school has. Basketbawls would rather see any department in school weakened—even discontinued before the athletic department was weakened in any way. Os course Coach Curtis feels bad, down deep in his heart. He is perhaps the most broken-hearted person in Decatur today. But his team didn't fail — The Yellow Jackets are real men — with •■guts’’ and those boys will go out in life with a million dollars' worth of that something which Herb can give them, that will be more valuable to them than winning a thousand tournaments. B.rketbawls is stronger for Herb Curtis today than ever before—first because he didn't come home and whine about defeat — areond, because he nas mane real men out of Decatur high school boys and finally because, since he has lived in Decatur he has built manhood into hundreds of school boys and has sent them out into the wo-ld wiih a determination not to plan for tournaments and win i i spurts but to play hard all the time and win consistently. If you ask Basketbawls, we’d say Herb Curtis should be given i life job at Decatur high school and permission to fix his own salary. Yours for a New Gymnasium, BASKETBAWLS
