Commodores Open Season With Win Over Ossiaj

LAURENTMEN STAGE RALLY IN LAST HALF Locals Appear Strong In First Gani e With Strong Opponent George Laurent’s Catholic, high school Commodores,state Catholic basketball champions, staged a great rally in the closing 13 minutes of their opening net game at Ossian Friday night and trampled down the Wells county team’s lead, winning 17-13. It was a fine display of basketball in. closing minutes and led by Knute Holthouse. the local netmen took a tour-print lead and held to it until i the close of the tilt. It was a defensive game' from 1 the opening two quarters. Ossian \ kept in the running during the I first half assault of the Commodores by sinking almost every free I throw awarded. The half ended in a deadlock with each team gathering 8 points. With three minutes of the second half played. Bill (lass, star Comn.odore center was sent to the; showers with four personals. Ossian was leading at the time 13-9 and the fans who had accompanied I the Commodores to the Wells county town to witness the first gam? of the season sank back in their seats. The Commodores took time out and planned for a strong offensive rally which was carried out with such precision that in a few mintit s after Vian was sent in for (lass the Count was tied. Holthouse whipped the net for two field goals and Gage skimmed under the basket for another close-in shot. After a 4-point lead was obtained, the Commodores fell back to their defensive game, which has brought them considerable fame in Indiana and Ohio, and the five-man defense worked with clock-like succ ss. Ossian failed to score after the Commodore rally and the game ended 17-13. Coach Laurent made only the one substitution, Vian for Gass. In the preliminary game Ossian Seconds defeated Commodore embryos by a count of 16-11 after the local netmen had piled up an early lead, oniy to see it pass into the d scards as Ossian reserve strength went into the fracas.

GENEVA WINS FROM HARTFORD Geneva high school Cardinals went to Hartford township Friday night and trimmed the Gorillas in their own cage, 24-22. The game was an upset as far as predictions were concerned, and the Geneva eagers showed that they must be reckoned with in determining a county champion. The contest was close throughout, with both teams taking the lead at various times. The score at half time was knotted at 10-10. Late in the second period Geneva went into a lead which was held until the game ended.

Ho frequently has voted on (he Democratic side. Brookhart proposes tha t the Democrats should take control of the situation and demand tlie resignations of Secretary of Treasury Mellon and the undersecretary. Ogden Mills. The senator said the vote Tuesday was a protest against “Mellonlsm" and that his regime should be ended. After Brookhart had made his announcement other western Republicans were looked to for a statement of their intentions. Senator Gerald Nye, Nortli Dakota. said he would vote with the Republicans for organization. Others of the group were absent from Washington. The Democratic statement, issued through Hie Democrats | National committee here, was signed by Chairman John J. Raskob of the committee; James M. Cox of Ohio. 1920 presidential candidate; John W. Davis of West Virj gtnia, 1924 nominee; Alfred E. ■Smith of New York, candidate for the presidency in 1928; Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, senate leadi er: John N. Garner of Texas, house leader. and Chairman Jouett Shouse of the executive committee. "A remarkable victory has come Ito the Democratic party.” said the statement. "We. however, regard it less as a political triumph than as a great opportunity for con- ■ s-tructive service. “For a year and a half the Detnocra’s have conducted as vigorous a campaign as they could, not to 'estroy the administration not to i'"omr»’lßh the downfall of any’ political figure, but to resist and

to correct a situation that had in - I come well night Intolerable. Th" ' minority in the senate and the;' house of representatives fought bravely and sincerely to prevent I the ena' linent of a tariff bill which wa: not only the apotheosis of bad economy but was doubly • dangerous l because of the condi-1' tions in the country. Certainly j with the nation in the throes of a ' ghastly business depression it was tto time to place a greuer burden 1 upon consumers and an additional < handicap on business. "The Democratic policy, an- < nounced in it* platform and through Its candidates in the last : presidential campaign, is directly opposed to periodic general re-1 v.'sions, which inevitably bring in tlieir trail a shameful load of 'scandal and a hideous dislocation: of our whole industrial and coni- ‘ merciaJ system. Democrats in the i present congre s sought the enact- ’ nient of a plan that would litn’t ■ changes to those obviously requir- . ed —changes in individual eclied- . ules on tlie recommendation of • non-partisan expert, in consonance . witli tlie dictates of economic 1 science. With such a process tar-1 | Iff alteration would proceed with i the maximum of patience and can- j - tion, and would cause no earth-1 ; ouakes in our business structure.' . Whatever changes may be coueid ; - ered necessary to rid the present J ■ act of its outstanding enormities, . nothing is further from the minds of those who will direct legisla-1 I tion on tlie Democratic side than ■ ,‘a general revision of the tariff.” | Tlie statement expressed gratifi- - cation for the support at the polls i ami said, tliat while Democratic : leaders were “thrilled by the detn- • onstration of confidence,” they did ■ not consider "the present occasion . as one for celebration or for self- j • gratification.” . i “The responsibilities, bestowed ■ by the election are too grave for ■ mere manifestation of exaltation” : they said. j ! Nye's attitiude on the senate > organization was considered more ■ reflective of the sentiment of I western progressive Republicans i than Brookhart's. The little band -of a dozen progressives hold eight | committee chairmanships, including some of the most important i committees, and it was considered > doubtful whether they would be i willing to give them up to give ' the Democrats control.
