RALLY HALTED IN LAST MINUTE j BY LOCAL TEAM Visitors Prop 21-19 Decision; Reder is Star for Invading Team IVeatur high school Yellow Jackets hud their closest call of the present basketball* last night at Decatur hirh school gymnasium but '•amo out of u hard scrap with ihe Winamac Indians on top of a 21-19 count. The finish of the game was a thriller and •«m° great head work by Schnepn and Debolt, veteran b'cketmen probably saved the game. Th Winamac tam fought hard) the last quarter, and threatened to. the final second of the game, bring-! in?? the score from 20-13 up to 20-1 19 by executing three perfect shots I at th? n t In the closing two min-: utes, only to he outsmarted. C. aeh Cuitis chose to start V. j l J. Hill at forward positions, S* hnspp at center and Debolt and j Steele at guard posts. L. Stout, and Miller started at forwards for j lie via tors. Reder at center and J p arsen and Ginther at guards. Reder was the outstanding man | for the visitors. His height, coup-!-d with the ccolnoss with which he met the vaiious situations make h'tn on of the greatest players of ihe s ason. Ve non Hill scored first by sinking a free throw on Miller’s foul. In short order Reder and L. Stout connected for fieldeis and Winamac led 4-1. Decatur took time out to talk things over and short'v afUr resumption of the game , Vernon Hill counted another free throw on Miller's second fcul.' V, inamac tcok a time out and there were three minutes remaining in the first quarter. Reder caged a free throw on Jake Hill's foul and the count was Winamac. 5; Decatur. 2. The quarter ended. The last two minutes of the first quarter were exceedingly rough and for a fracMon of a minute it evidently got away frov. the offic- j ials. Schnepp scored Decatur’s first field goal as the second quarter opened. Ginther fouled Steele and he knotted the count at 5-5. De-, holt ran under the basket for two-: P inter to send the Curtismen into I the lead. Vernon Hill missed a charity throw on Miller’s foul. L. Stout whipped the ball through the net to make the count 7-7. Doth teams were passing good. Jake Hill made a semi-long shot from the side and unknetted affairs at 9 7 for Decatur. Reder returned the Winamac hopes with the fi’st set-up shot of the game and tied the count at 9-all. Reder elnd d the entire Decatur team and went under the basket unguarded. Zerkle went into the game for Steele. Jake Hill *tiss°d a free throw after L. Stout committed a foul. With three minutes left in the first half the count was 9-9. Debolt dribbled under for a field goal and shortly after that L. Stout made good on J. Hill's personal to r-nke tlie count stand Decatur, 11; Winamac, 10. V. Hill sank a long shot to add two points and then missed a free throw. Schnepp tipped the ball through the net at the close of the first half to make the score read 15-10 in favor of Decatur. Dut ing the second half the Winnmac team played hard, and at tim r s the game became rough, probably unintentionally. The Yellow Jackets played a hard Euarding game and attempted little offense. The third quarter was the most uninteresting part cf the game. L. Stout sank a basket as the quarter opened. After three minutes of play Zerkle missed a chance from the free throw line on L. Stout’s Cm’t noholt made good on Mil ler's foul and the latter was taken from the game cn fouls. M. Stout entered the game. The count was 16-12 in favor of Decatur with two minutes left in the third quarter. J. Hill made good a free throw and th" quarter ended 17-12, Decatur. V. Hill made good on Ginther’s personal and M. Stout made a point rn Debolt’s personal. J. Hill sank a free throw when Ginther fouled again. Reder connected for a field goal and L. Stout brought the totals up to 20-17 with five minutes left on a long shot which connected. Decatur started to play in hack crurt in an effort to suck the Indians down the floor. The Winamac team however captured the ball and M. Stout made a field goal. Score, Decatur, 20; Winamac, 19. Winamac called for time out. As Jake Hill darted under tbo basket Ginther fouled him and he made a free throw. Ginther

GAME TRANSFER | IS QUESTION Py Dixon Stewart, UP. Staff Correspondent Chicago, D?c. 6.—(U.R>— Decision on Northwestern univeisity’s request for the transfer of its 1931 i football game with Notre Dame; fri in South Ben i, ind., to Soldier' ! Field, Chicog, remained today as I the most important business bei fore the annual meeting of the Big Ten conference. Athletic directors and coach's ‘completed th ir business — except | for the adopFon of baseball schedul:s — at yesterday’s sessions. Group disc ssiens were schedul'd ( for today, but interest was center- j 1 ed entirely on the faculty commit i tee meet ug and promised radio | -eports . J ,h. Notr? Dame-Soutli-ern California tc'.tba’.l game this afternoon. The faculty v-o.lttee meeting, schedul'd for 1 o’clock, promised the only excitement of an otherwise dull and uneventful sess’on. The faculty men apparently had I no serious problems, such as the lowa case which provided interest during the past two years, hut the discussion of the NorthwesternNotre Dame transf* r request promised its share of complications. No.thwestern has offered a fund ts SIOO,OOO to charities aiding the unemployment if the transfer is approved, with the money to be r;paid from the excess sale of tickets for the game. The general impression at B:g Ten headquarters yesterday was that the request for the transfer would be refused for the same reason that a change in site of the game during the 1930 season was denied. Yesterday’s meetings cf coaches and athletic directors were devoted to routine business. The athletic directors discussed d creased attendance at 1930 football games, but agieed that the problem was not serious and expressed the opinion that the one-sided race was responsible fer the falling rec;ipts. Officials from Purdue university contradicted the report that curtailment of Purdue’s athletic pro- ■„ gram was because of poor football

Athletic officials of the schcol ! modified their decision to withdraw from all minor sports for the year and agreed to participate in track on a curtail d basis. Several changes and additions were made in the Big Ten football schedules, previcusly announced. Nebraska university replaced Utah as Northwestern’s opponent in its j opening game, Oct. 3, and a game ! at Evanston. Oct. 17 against University of California at Los Angeles added to the schedule. Wisconsin booked a game with Alabama Poly at Madiscn. Oct. 10, Indiana completed its schedule by awarding Ohio University a game on Stpt. 26 and Minnesota announced the open ng of negotiations j with Vanderbilt for a game at I Minneapolis. Oct. 3. Other switches in the schedules changed the Illinois Purdu? game f Oct. 10 from Champaign to Lafayette and the Indlana-Notre Dame game of Oct. 3 from South Pend to Bloomington. Dates of wo Illinois practice games were transposed with St. Louis Universty sch duled fer the opening game Oct. 3, and Bradley hooked at Illinois, Oct. T7. Dates of Minnesota's games with Northwestern I and Wisconsin wete reversed, with Minnesota piaying at Evanston Nov. 7 and entertaining Wisconsin Oct. 31. o Varying Period* of Torpor The word ‘hibernate" curries the idea of winter.
