At any rate with 7 minutes to go Decatur carried the ball to within the 10-yard line and the entire last 7 minutes were played between the 10-yard line and the goal line, without the Hortonmen crossing. 1 It was a great game and the 50 some odd fans from Decatur who attended the game were well pleased with the showing of the Yellow Jackets. Coach Horton has au abundance of material and indica- I ' Hons are that Decatur soon will be 1 (plenty hard to stop. SECOND YACHT CONTEST TODAY Newport, R. 1., Sept. 15. —<U.R>— The wealth and a goodly share of the sporting blood of the nation put out to sea again today to watch Harold S. Vanderbilt sail his yacht Enterprise for a second . time against Sir Thomas Lipton's , Shamrock V, in defense of the America’s cup. With one race already won, Enterprise will meet the invading yacht over a triangular course of 39 nautical miles, beginning nine miles southeast of Brenton's reef and ending at the same spot. Sat- j nrday's race was over a course of 15 miles to Leeward and return. The weather forecast was for moderate southerly winds. On Saturday as Enterprise sailed homeward, her sails filled, her ! trim bows cutting the water and j Vanderbilt standing coatless at ' her helm, one had a feeling there 1 (was pomething unbeatable about 1 the American combination of men and boats. There were many who believed that Captain Ned Heard, the pro- ' fessionai sailing master of Sham- ‘ rock, had tricks up his own sleeve, I and that, after all, Enterprise's -two minute, 52 second margin of : victory was rather frail. i Throughout Sunday there was . great activitiy on Enterprise as it I rode at its moorings amid 250 private yachts in Newport harbor. ; Contrasted with this activity was . a single sailor sitting on Sham- . rock's deck, reading a newspaper i and basking in the sun. i Sir Thomas Lipton, remaining aboard his steam yacht Erin dur-

ing the day, received many telegrams and a few callers, including ] Mayor William Sullivan of Newport. “I’m not at all discouraged," ' the aged sportsman said. "We lost because the other boat finish- t ed first. When our boat finishes first, then we’ll win." Among the crew of the Shamrock there was much complaint, however, against the circumstances of the start of Saturday’s race. They claimed the signals were not given as they had expected and also that an excursion steamer got to the windward of Shamrock, cutting off the breeze and causing the British boat to get off to a elow start, which was one of the big factors in the race. Aboard the yachts last night, as well as ashore in Newport, society held carnival. There were dinners and receptions. Tenders scurried through the open lanes between anchorages, carrying women in sports clothes and men in blue and white from shore to boats and from yacht to yacht. Radios, phonographs and even orchestras played. Wagers running into hun- , deeds of thousands were laid as the wealthy discussed the races across the dining tables. A goodly number of the bets were at 9 to 3 that Harold Vaderbilt would steer his shining white sloop to a glorious victory. GIRL’S MURDER BAFFLES SOUTH BENI) OFFICERS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) had to work. As the murdere climbed into the room lie left prints in - the dust of the window sill and as he escaped he grasped the side of the window, leaving bloody finger marks there. Several high school boys who had been friends of Alice’s were eliminated as suspects after their fingerprints were taken and compared. o PASTURES IN BAND CONDITION t —1 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE' 1 “The condition of soy beaus, which had been unusually good considering the dry weather, decreased slightly during August. “Prospects for potatoes and sweet potatoes decreased 20 per cent last month. “The demand for farm labor has I decreased until there is one job 1 for each 1.74 men, as compared i I with 1.57 a month ago.” 1 O !

mm and CONTERREACH GOIF FINALS Two of Decatur’s Best Golfers to Battle For Local Title W. A. “Grandpa" Klepper shot his way into the finals of the Decatur Country Club championship race Sunday by defeating Ira Fuhrman, conqueror of Ed Engeler, in I easy fashion 4-up and 3 to go. As a result of the Klepper victory i Decatur's two icecream daddies I will battle it out for the city golf i championship. France Conter pre- i viously had gained his way to the finals by defeating the twice- champion C. O. Porter. , The two finalists will tee off some time this week and the contest will go 36-holes to a finish. Klepper in winning from Fuhrman came in over the first nine holes 1 up and then proceeded to pile up 3 more holes in the last nine. • Fhurman started out strong and captured the first three holes. Klepper firmed down and on number 8 had things even, capturing number 9 for a 1 up. o

> I ——■ I 1 Decatur high school Yellow Jackets and Coach Tiny Horton have won a high place in the hearts of Decatur football fans. —oOo — The Jackets played at Auburn Saturday against several great odd*. and tore through the Auburn line time and again to threaten the goal—only to have time and the officials rob them of touchdowns. —oOo — The 9-0 score does little toward telling the story. The truth is that Decatur has bright prospects for a real gfid team this year. Litterer, Steele. Brown. Deßolt, and Heller ripped through the opposing line for tremendous gains. —oOo — Schnepp, Coffee, and Odle at ends showed a lot of metal. Melchi, another end was unable to play because of illness. Coffee was robbed of a touchdown by inches when he snagged a pass from Fred Brown which was the turning point of the second halt Schnepp negotiated a flock of tackles that shook nerves, aggressiveness and teeth out of the opposing forces. » • —oOo — And brothers, that line. If any high school football team scores through the Jacket line this year, the achievement will be added to the great feats of the modern world. —oOo — Hurst, Parrish, Ford, Zerkle. Engeler. Roop. Sanders. Busse. Musser, all giants of btawn who know no sear —and all they have to do is fall down. —oOo — The backfield did some great stopping in the opener—what Tiny Horton needs most of all is a general to think fast in pinches —with only two weeks of drill behind them, the Jackets performed great——oOo — Here's the Medicine: Sept. 13—Auburn, 0; Docatur, 0. Sept. 20—Decatur at South Side, Fort Wayne. Sept. 27 —Huntington, there. Oct. 4—North Side, here. Oct. 11 —Portland, here. Oct. 16—Central, Ft. Wayne, here Oct. 25—Garrett, here. Oct. 30. —Suburb, there. —oOo — Tiny told the boys to be ready for a tough week starting this afternoon, and when Horton and Curt's start filing away the rough edges this week —I .>ok out, South Side. —oOo— Dcßolt, who called signals in the first half, twisted his ankle and was the first casualty of the season. The dope is -Dee will be back in a few days——oOo— Pat Coffee made perhaps the prettiest play of the afternoon. Fred Brown tossed a 30-yard pass and Coffee jumped high in the air grabbed the ball tri both hands and carried it 20 yards more. Then Schnepp, twisted bis way through

a broken field after snagging pass number two. —oOo— Louie Litterer, who was punishing himself under the strain of a badly injured leg smashed off tackle for what looked like a touchdown —Litterer was forced out of bounds near the 10-yard line. Then the Jackets carried the ball to the Auburn 3-yard line —but punch was defeated by lack of generalship — and the game ended, with Decatur threatening and Auburn getting the breaks. ——oOo~“ Footbawls heart goes out to men like Bauer, referee, and Davis, umpire—who know so little about high school football and still have courage to face the audience season after season with the greatest fumbles of the game. Oh for a dozen Gunnar Elliotts or Pop Tudors. — 000— Zeke Young, veteran Auburn athletic mentor, immediately after the! game posted a letter to Doris Blake to get the latest pointers on what the well-dressed football official is thinking this year. —oOo — A good crowd of local fans followed the Jackets to Auburn Saturday — and all were well pleased with the great showing. —oOo — It was 30 degrees too hot to either play or enjoy football—the field was dry and hard —but the Jacket line didn’t seem to mind anything —and Auburn made only one first down through that hunk of flesh with Purple and Gold sweaters. —oOo— South Side next Saturday and those Siders will have to

Corn cutting is,in progress in the country, and while the crops are still too green to cut in parts of southern Adams county, almost ail of the north end crop has been cut. Farmers say tire corn crop was l.nimuch better than expected, and t only a few crops were burned out ; by the long summer drought. The tlrain brought an atmosphere of aui tunin in Decatur and many trees were shedding their leaves. o Mr. and Mrs. C y K. Bell of Fort Wayne were week-end visitors here.

FOOTBALL KING IN SPORTDOM (By United Press) Football resumed the athletic thrones in Indiana today. Portals of the 10 weeks gridiron season were thrown wide in Hoosier colleges to receive the early season aspirants to positions on the various elevens. At Notre Dame approximately 120 moleskin wearers turned out for the first practice. Noticeable in this group was the absence of such luminaries as Jack Cannon, all American guard; (’apt. John Law. Tim Moynihan, Joe Nash, Ted Twomey, Jack Elder and Bud Gebert. Knute Rockne, veteran and famous coach, was optimistic today despite the fact that he has only three weeks in which to prepare for a tough 10-game schedule, starting with Southern Methodist of Texas. Purdue's prospects for successfully defending its Big Ten title this year seemed slim when approximately 85 men reported for practice. The job of reassembling a championship Boilermaker team was enormous. Coach Noble Kizer immediately set to work in his attempt to fill the positions left vacant by the graduation of HarmeSon, Welch, Sleight, Caraway, Woerner and Mackie. Likely contenders for the empty berths were Ed Risk, Jim Purvis, Lewis Tope and Howard Kissell. The Purdue season opens October 4 against Baylor and includes five games with conference foes on successive Saturdays. More than 50 men who showed promise on the varsity, reserve

and Freshman teams at Indiana university last year w’ero in the group that reported to Coach Pat Pago today. Two weeks are left for trailing before the I. U. team meets Miami at Oxford, Ohio in the opening battle. Page's chief worry this year will be development of a line, with only four lettermen as a nucleus. The entire squad will be light and coaches will stress speed, Page indicated. Most of the smaller colleges already have spent a week In limbering up exercises and started today the more strenuous practice. Night practice sessions will be held at Butler university starting Thursday, Coach Harry Bell announced today, in preparation for the three twilight games that are on the Butler schedule. Most of the 1929 regulars who returned to practice at Wabash •were expected to be in the starting lineup of this years team, according io observers who have watched Coach Vaughan during practice. Vaughan's greatest worry Is at the ends, which were left vacant through graduation. Development of backfield men is the big need of the moment at Depauw, where Coach Neal has only one letterman in a ball carrying position. o MAKE FIGHT ON STATE TAX RATE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) versity, $1.7775,000 for Purdue. $463,000 for Indiana State Teachers’ college at Terre Haute, and $423,310 for the Ball State Teachers’ college at Muncie. Combined budgets of tlie schools amounts to $4,486,310. Inadition there is a special levy of two cents for buildings at tlie schools. Then there is

the common school levy of seven cents and the teachers’ retirewont levy of two cents, making special school levies 11 cents in addition to the nine cents from the general fund. Other special levies arc 6 cents for the World War Memorial, 25 cents for the board of agriculture, 2 cents for the Indiana Dunes State park, 2 cents for forestry and 5 cents for the state library building fund. All special levies total 12,75 cents which, added to the 16.25 accounts for the 29 cents. o CUSTOMS snow BIG INCREASE (CONTINUED FROM PACK ONE) 000,000, which would be normal for the year. Meanwhile, the treasury |g continuing its Investigation into charges that Soviet Russia is shipping products here in.violation of the anti-dumping and convict labor clauses of the tariff act. Five products—coal, lumber, pulpwood, wood pulp and manganese — are the objects of inquiry by special agents of the customs bureau in Europe. o Mrs. Carl Bartlett returned Saturday evening from South Bend, and Benton Harbor, Michigan where she spent a few days visiting with friends. Robert Passwater who is employed in Franklin, Ohio, is visiting at the home o this parents, Mr. and Mrs. Delton Passwater in this city. o NOTICE TO PATRONS I am back at my office and regular office hours will be observed.
