Commodores Win State Catholic Net Tonmacie*

LOCAL NETMEN TRIP JASPER IN FINAL TILT Cass, Mylott, VVemholT, head ()ltensive in Final Came of Tourney TS'camr Catholic high whuol Uumniodorc* returned to this city Sunday afternoon with the Mate Catholic busetball lit It* tucked safely away It was the first time in the history of state Catholic tournaments that Decatur won the t tie. The Lourentmen defeated a tough jasper Academy team Saturday night in tile finals to win a free railroad ticket to the national Catholic tourney at Chicago, which ; tarts a wo* k from Wednesday.. The Commodores entered the tournament as a decided "dark horse," largely because of the up and down season’s record. Early in the season the Commodores be gun suffering various injuries. First Pete Mylott was injured. Then DII (lass was sick. Then someone else would he oat of a game. As a result the Commodores lost several games, hut whatever they did all season was forgotten at the tourney, and headed by (lass and Mylott the Commodores tore through three of the toughest Catholic teams in the state Saturday and returned with the championship. In the final game with Jasper about half of Decatur had moved down to (lie National Guard Armory at Indianapolis. In the opening half. Hill Gass, who was the) outstanding forward of the tourna-j ment, grabbed the ball and tossed j four t ines at the basket from mid floor and four times the ball rang through without even hitting the backboard. This with the accurate passing ability of the Laurentmen took the heart out of the team from Dubois county, which had been a strong early-tourney favorite and the Commodores led all the way. The score at half time was 18-11 in favor of Decatur. In the second period Wemhoff, who had been playing great basketball ail day crashed through the Jasper defense with three field goals and Petie Mylott. bad leg and all, dribbled through for J two-pointers. As the final minutes arrived the Decatur crowd was wild, and when the timer ended the game and the score stood 35-24 in favor of Decatur, the hundreds of locals fans went wild with excitement. Each member of the Commodore team received a minature gold has ; ketball and the school received a silver loving cup. Tlte team also will be sent to the national tourney at Chicago by the state association.

Ift—(U.Rh-The 1030 western conference indoor track , and field crown, the premier honor which the big ten awards to its , winter sports aggregations, rested with the University of Wisconsin today tint whether the title will rc ma n with the Badgers was a matter of dispute. Wisconsin won the championship Saturday night at Minneapolis by scoring 21 points with Illinois in second place with IS. The final event tile mile relay, now under dispute decided the meet in favor of the Badgers. Officials had left the meet when one of the inspectors reported that Henke, Wisconsin’s third runner in the mile relay, had committed a foul, disqualifying the Badgers front the event. But Charles A. Biwson. referee, had left for his home in Deg Moines, so all official reports have been mailed to him and upon | his decision rests the championi ship. Regardless of tlie outcome, however, the Badgers will retain at least a share of the title. Should Rawson decide Henke committed a foul in rounding a turn, it would take two points front the Wisconsin point total and give Illinois third place in the relay instead of fourth, thereby adding a single counter to the mini point total Then thy two teams would be tied with 19 counters each. One world’s record went by the hoards as the cream of the middle west's cindermen and field performers competed in the annual affair. Lee Sentman of Illinois skimmed over the 70-yard high hurdles in .09 5-10 to better by 1-10 of a second the old mark hung up by Charles 11. Moore in New York in 1923. George Simpson of Ohio State tied the world’s record in the finyard dash, stepping the distance in :06 1-5. The outstanding aii-around per formance of the meet was turned in by Orval Martin of Purdue. He won the half mile run, breaking his own conference record, and then came baqk to take the mile title. Third place in the meet went to | Ind ana with 17 points followed by Michigan with 12' 4 - lowa, defending champion and a favorite to repeat, faltered badly and finished sixth with eight markers behind Purdue with ten and Northwestern with 9%. Chicago and Ohio Stale each scored seven points while Minnesota was last with two.

Basxetbflwls joins with thousands of other Adams county net fins in offering warmest congratulations and sincerest hopes that the Commies continue their winning streak at Chicago next week. The COMMODORES have proved the old saying that "you can't keep a good man down.” The Laurentmen had a lot of early s*ason trouble with injuries and sickness, but Coach George Laurent has worked his team into a dangerous basketball combination, vhich has a great chance of winning the national tourney. All the thrills and excitement which goes with winning a state title are experienced today by the (Jommodore players, Coach Laurent and Rev. Joseph Hession, athletic director of the Catholic high school. Adams county fans also are feeling their "oats" -vith another strong argument that Adams county does have good basketball teams. Bi’l Gass proved to be the best forward at the tournament. Petie Mylott was the outstanding guard. Wemhoff was decidedly the best pivot man and Lose and Gage fitted so well into the Decatur m; chme that no team could touch the Commodores when it came to pinches. The utility men, Holthouse and Harris, aiso played commendable basketball. Decatur is proud of you Commodores. You’ve knocked down a lot of tough barriers to win the right to represent the greatest state in the Union at the national tournament. Your conduct on ,ne Boot wa great, and by Virtue of your great victory you have rn.-.c'e Decatur a better city and school athletics have won another victory. Coed luck and plenty of it at Chicago.

BUSINESSWOMEN ARE OBSERVING NATIONAL WEEK — Special Programs Over Radio Throughout Nation New York, Mar. 10 — (UP) — Observance of National Bus.ness Women’s Week was inuuguarated simultaneously in 1,100 communities throughout the United States today. , Endorsed by the governors of many -ta es and the mayors of the leading cities, the observance was under the; spec.al sponsorship of the National i Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, largest bus;-! ness women's organization in tli world, with 56.000 members anti !,- 100 local branches. The week commemorates the increasing prominence of women in; • he business world. Opening the pro-1 gram with a radio broadcast from .ttation WJR. Detroit this noon Miss Marion H. McClenrh of Ann Arbor Michigan president of the Federation, pointed out the difference beween the time when "the unmarried woman or widow could look for no hing better than drab years of subservience to a mother or sister ot often an "in-law" who could afford to house and support her in ! return for such free service as she could give," and the more cheerful picture of he present when mote than 8,500,000 women have proven their capacity for self-support. "There are enough worn (i to make a ci y the size of Cleveland or St. Louis on the payrolls of retail stores in th s country," said Miss McClenrh. "They anti the bookkeepers, typists and stenographers would fill the City of Detroit. Over 1,000,000 women are engaged in agriculture an.l animal husbandry, inti as many women in manufaettn nig as .here are in the whole metre politan area of Philadelphia. If al! he women bankers and bank employes were lined up in a single file, they would make a procession three ami a half miles long.
