COMMODORES BEAT DELPHOS IN NET TILT Laurentmen Get 22-18 Decision in Interesting Game Here Decatur Catholic high school Commodores defeated St. .Johns high school of Delphos. Ohio, at Catholic high school gymnasium last night 22-18, i before an almost capacity ifj crowd. The game was marked in the second half by the dogged effort of the Delphos offense to break through the Commodore defense. rill (lass. Decatur forward was 1 the fl:st man to ring the bell when he sent the ball through the hoop' for a two-pointer shortly after the: game started. The first quarter' was ragged, both teams losing the ball cn s'.veral occasions by tech-' nlcal violations. The quarter ended 5-2 in favor of Decatur. In the second quarer | the Commodores bombarded the. net for a 9-2 advantage. The score | was peeled down to 9-4 just as the ! half ended. In the second pericd the contest became more exciting and the Delphos scoring machine led by Ditto,. one of the greatest high school centers in Ohio, came within two| points on several occasions of I ■ knott ng the count. The third quarter ended 14-10. ■ Ditto hit the net in the final quart-! er for two flelders and with three I L minutes to go the Commodores j ! held a 19 17 lead. Carl Lose shoved the ball through the net in the closing minutes to virtually sew ■ £.. up the game for Decatur and as j the tilt ended Gass sank a free. 11 th o’v for the 22-18 advantage. The Delphos team was much I larger than the locals, and had a' decided advantage on the center; IJ jump. Decatur forwards, however.' 4, were alert enough to get the ball i at center after the Delphos pivot ■ man placed the ball. In the preliminary game the j I ' Commodore second team defeated ' the Delphos seconds, 21-14. Hain: | . and Onilor were the main scoring I Ij cogs for the winners.

Dec. 4. —(U.K)—An offensive battle from start to finish and the team that can hold the ball the longest is the most lik e ly winner was the way Knute Rockne sized up the Southern Califot nia-Notre Dame game today for the United Press. “I know that Howard J-ties Is going to send his team into the came to rush us off our feet,” said Rockn . "There's just one way tor us to break up his plans and tha’s for us to get the ball and b:id it as long as we can. I look for the team that can hold possess-'-h of the ball the majority of the i time to win." Although a trifle downcast over the unexpected loss of Lany 'Moen” Mullins. fi:st string fullback. who is out of ths game with an injured knee, Rockne refused to ;,l stress the loss of a regular fullback for the second time this season on ths eve of a big game. Joe Savildi withdrew from school the week before the Northwestern game. "I had expected Mullins to be in shape to play and I felt that he would play on? of the greatest games of his career,” commented Rockne, “but now he's out and we've got to make the best cf it.” Mullins injured his knee in the ! | Army game and it has failed to $ respond to treatment. He did not (ion a uniform and work out with the squad on its arrival here yesterday. Two workouts, morning and afternoon, were planned at the University of Arizona field today beE fore the squad leaves for Los Anj 1 geles, where the Irish will meet

1 the Troians b fore a crowd < f 90.■ 000 in the colls, uni Saturday. Dun Hanley, 190-pound sophomore, will i start in Mullins' place at fullback.! with Al Howard, Alhambra. Calif., | . youngster, in reserve. Hanley, who played his first (game of the year against Drake Nov’ mber 15. is expected to add • '1 ffensive strength to the team, but | 'weaken it defensively. Rockne plans to start his first, 'team and it's quite likely that the I ■regulars will ri main in the game ns long as possible with replacements sent in when necessary. Johnny O'Brien, who was in the Army game in 1928 for only one play, but caught a pass which won the game, virtually has won the first stiing left end job from Host 'and Kisky and probably will start with the r gulars. O'Brien is a great pass catcher ! and he's much overdue for a long pass down the field. It wouldn't be surprising to see him figure prominently in a dazzling Notre • Dame pass attack Saturday. ' Rockne still sticks to his early prediction that South rn California i should win. but he has yet to make ■the flat statement that the Trojans will triumph. He always I qualifies Ahe prediction with an "if,” ' and” or "but." Notre Dame’s probable starting lineup follows: O'Brien or Host. | left end; Culver, left tackle; Kas Isis, left guard: Yarr, center; Metzger. right guard; Kurth, right tackle; Conley, right end; Cartideo, quarterback; Schwartz, left halfback; Brill, right halfback: ! Hanley, fullback. o— WHIPPETS WIN I FROM OSSIAN Kirkland Whippets, independen' ' basketball club defeated Ossian In- , dependents at Kirkland last night I 36-31. Bill Bryan and L.

The trio then opened the door leading to a room in which 70 of the prisoner inmates were sleepI ing. They surprised Don Bushnell, another guard, who was stationed at .he door and called for the men whom they apparently were seeking.. Os the six who were removed four were dressed, indicating that the liberated men knew beforehand of the plot. The other two, partly clothed, were hurried out of the iormitory and taken downstairs. Proceeding cautiously, the party made its way toward the front entrance. Samuel Kane, standing guard there, apparently did not sense their approach. The trio soon ad Kane, like the others, tied up, and took his keys to get out the gale. Kane said he narrowly escaped with his life, for some of the men wanted to kill him before leaving. Once outside, the men entered a car and sped away. It was some time afterward that one of the guards broke his bonds and spread Lie alarm. The prisoners were believed to have headed in the direction near Fishkill state police barracks. State policemen were called out immediately io give pursuit, but were not able during the first few hours to pick up the trail of the escaped men. The six who were liberated are: Marry Gordon. 38, known to police as “the mad Butcher of Rochester.” Anthony Alloy, 43. Brooklyn. John N. Gambill, New York City. John Biggin, 31, Brooklyn.

/ °H. i —- „ • - '—" It was a nice crowd that attended ' the Commodore-Delphos game last, I night. There must have been too; ! Decatur fans and at least 125 Delphos fans. — The circus seats were all fill- I ed and only a few vacant seats on the west side were vailable after the game started. Both the preliminary and main I games were good exhibitions Oi basketball, with enough thrills to give the spectators their money’s worth. Delphos fans took their licking hard, largely because the St. Johns , school has the best team it has ever' boasted. Ditto, Delphos center was one of the outstanding players cn the f'oor last night. He caged four 2-pointers and played an excellent floor game. Coach Laurent is building for the future and his team's exhibition | last night proved the point that the | Commodores are getting stronger every game. It was the las: home game for, the Commodores for four weeks. As the days wear on and most humans have forgotten the Berne-Decatur basketball came last Friday night, the I o »rne soor* columnists are just becoming lubricated with the ii ea that they’l' have to do a i j lot of explaining to the home folks after Berne games this year. J st be ause the Berne players I couldn't h't the ba i et —couldn't I get the hall from center —couldn t 1 make the free throws awarded — Just because the Bears failed miserably in their attempt to beat Deca nr. those writers believe that Tudor and Craney officiated a terrible game and that the southlanders got a bad deal. The folks who saw the game will ' say that Berne was completely out-1 played.— — Johnny Hain and Charlie Omlor were the chief cogs in the Commodore Second team scoring machine —Each cracked the net for three field goals. The Yellow Jacke's play Winamac here Friday night—There isnot much advance dope on the'visi-. tors except it is a well-known fact j that Winamac gave Decatur its only I trimming last season. Saturday night the Curtismen go to Huntington and the Laurentmen go to Kirkland. Both Decatur teams have a fighting chance Saturday night but home floor odds are against them along with two good teams. The G. E. Club netmen played a good basketball game Tuesday evening all of hlch show that when that aggregation plays the kind of ball it is capable of playing, it's tough for any team. Monroe high school netters will -npet the Monroe Alumni at Kirkland Friday night, instead of Monmouth as previously schdeuled. Beat Winamac. It's a tough job for an official to p'ease the radical fans of bo-h teams —and since the officials are the only paid participants of a basketball game, it's easy to make them shoulder the game. After all almost every official Is cn the floor earnestly endeavoring to do his level best. Coaches complain about the officiating and soon fans accept the theory that all referees deliberate'y call fouls when they shou'dn’t be called. Soon that theory leads to boos and cat-calls and then the riots start.
