VIKINGS LOSE TO CURTISMEN IN NET TILT Decatur Triumphs In Easy Fashion Over Highly Touted Foe Decatur high school Yellow Jackets performed a hard task perfectly Saturday night and defeated the highly tout-! ed Huntington high school Vikings, 23-17, at Hunting-1 ton. The Curtismen did not| show the strains of the hard Winamac game the night be- ■ fore and after the first few’ minutes they held the Viking| threats well at bay. “Jake Hill was the < (Tensive cor! and his team mates covered the! fld Yellow Jacket beehive with glory. The Decatur net men entered the fracas the underdog, because of Hnntington's victory overj Muncie a week ago. “Soon after the game started, the Viking team knew that there was £ sting to the Curtis crew this year. Both teams played a slow Rteaking offense and during the lirst half Decatur showed a superiority al passing and handling the ball. After several minutes of scoreless playing, the Curtismen broke loose and at half time were leading 12-6. Coach Curtis started Sn deker, J. Hill. Schnepp. Debolt and Steele, but V. Hill and Zerkle were sent in after a while. The Vikings continued to threaten dur'ng the second half and <*ncceedid in playing a tie score during the last two quarters. The early lead, however, was more than enough to make the game Decatr.i’s all the way through. Decatur's passing attack was far superior. Both teams appeared about even on mid-court play, but the Yellow Jacket defense was airtight and held the much larger! Vikings well in command through-] t ut. In the preliminary the Decatur J second t am trampled the Huntington seconds, 23-9. The Viking defeat was the second of the season. Logansport trimmed Huntington two weeks ago by a four-point mar-' gin and Huntington has victories from North .Manchester and Muncie. All the Decatur players got out .if the scrap without injuries and Coach Curtis today reported the squad, in good condition for the tough South Side of Fort Wayne team next Friday night.

ALL-AMERICAN I TEAMS NAMED I By L. S. Cameron I United Press Staff Correspondent i New York, Dee. 8 The All-Am-I l ira football te un for 1930, selected i by the United Press Staff in collaI boration with leading coaches in 'every section of the country, was announced today. The first team gives honors io ' players from east, midwest, south , and fa. west. These choices wer“ i no.' of arldtrary design, but evolut ! ed out of a careful consideration of tlie claims put forward by football i experts who have watche'/'the players in their season of strenuous play. It seems fitting at the outset o f the all-America announcement to explain that while the choices were made honestly and after a deal of study, the United Press Attaches no great significance to any choice. After all, it is at best a guess, for it is impossible for any football reporter or coach to see every player in every game or even to see every player in as many as two games of a given season. The United Press acknowledges witli thanks the valuable assistance given by football coaches in making these selections. Since some- o’ the coaches wished to be anoymous. all of them will remain so. it was interesting to observe how many players of rival teams were selected by the coaches. L. E.- Wes Fesler, Ohio State. L. T. — Fred Sington, Alabama. L. G.—Bert Hetzger, Notre Dame. C.—Ben Ticknor, Harvard. R. G. —Pete Wisniewski. Fordham R. T.—Milo Lubratovich, Wisconsin. R. E.—Frank Baker, Northwestern. Q. Frank Carideo, Notre Dame, (Captain). L. H. —Marchmont Schwartz. Notre Dame. R. H. Phil Moffett, Stanford. F. B.— Len Nacaluso, Colgiate. The easiest choice to make was that of Frank Carideo whose individual brilliance was an important factor in the successful season enjoyed by Notre Dame. He was a unanimous choice of all United Press reporters and was nominated by nearly every one of the dozens of coaches w io made all-America selections. Carideo’s ability to select the correct plays, his kicking and defensive work were some of the contributing factors of hia success. Carideo was named captain of this mythical team. Len Macaluso of Colgate was chosen as fullback. This was a good season for fullbacks, but Macaluso, the leading point-maker of the nation. seemed to have a margin over his rivals. One of Carideo’s mates and chief ball-varriers, was placed at left half back. He is Harchmont Schwartz, who.-e runring ability was equalled only by his passing and defensive work. The other halfback post was won by Phil Moffatt of Stanford. Many a far coast observer believes Moffatt to be one of the greatest backs of all time. He was especially brilliant in the Southern California game. The contest for center was a close one. The honor went to Ben Hicknor of Harvard, who besides being a steady, heavy player, was a real leader. Ticknor and Carideo were the only members of the United Press team of 1929 to be chosen again. Another almost unanimous choice was that of Wesley Fesler of Ohio State as an end. He followed a series of fine performances made in 1929 with another season of sound ! play. He is held to be the best end the Western conference ever has seen. A wizard on defense, he is also a great catcher and thrower of passes, and exceptional punter and a real field general. The other end position was awarded to Frank Baker of Northwestern, another western conference brilliant who was a good player in all phases of his position and was a surprisingly successful receiver of passes. Tackle honors were won by Fred Sington of Alabama and Milo Lubratovich of Wisconsin,- each of whom was an outstanding player ! throughout the season. Sington was nominated by many coaches, espeIcially by those against whose teams 'he played. Lubratovich was held to be the best Big Ten conference lineman, exclusive of the ends, this season. Bert Metzger of Notre Dame, wno was an easy selection for a guard place, was perhaps, the best line man of the nation in 1930. He was never outplayed, never forced to take time out, and it was he, as much as Carideo, Schwartz, of Marty Brill who made the long Notre Dame runs possible. At the other guard is the six-foot-seven giant “Pistol Pete” Wisniewski ol Fordham. He seemed able to crush two opponents together or to fling them yards apart. His fall-like arms I drove many an opponent into turt. {mud or dust. This is a great team. Whether it could be coordinated into the smooth machine that Notre Dame’s ’varsity was, is something no one will ever know. But any coach, were he scheduled to face this team, shurely could be headlined as fearing it more than Stagg,’in his most cautious days, ever feared Purdue.

The Curtismen played real basketball Saturday night—They knew they had to, and they were able to rise to the occasion. You know, after all, it isn’t all the players—Basketbawls has said it a thousand times and will say it again that Dec-atur is exceedingly fortunate to have Herb Curtis as a net mentor. Herb's a Knute Rockne in high school basketball and ire manages to get the most out of every player. Basketbawls doesn't believe that the incident which occurred after the game at Huntington was sanctioned by the Huntington high school officials and while it was indeed a disgraceful thing there’s no use crying about it, for no one was hurt.

After all, Decatur has only one real rival and that's Bluffton. We (•all each other names—get mad — threaten to fight—but that’s life. Decatur and Bluffton are like a couple "of brothers —they fight each other, but let some oilier town jump on one of them. And this writer can't imagine such a disgraceful thing happening to Decatur people at Bluffton. Let's keep up the spirited rivalry between Decatur and Bluffton —Other towns can have their guns and eggs, we'll fight it out with typewriters, won’t we Buck. The Commodores had a tough break at Kirkland Saturday pight. The fan< 'who accompanied the teem were of the unanimous opinion that the Laurentmen could, win easily on a larger floor. The loss of two players on i ouestionable personal fouls weakened the Commodore team, but the two substitues who were sent into thegame played well. Knute and his boys have done iit again — If anyone tells you i there's a team in the world that "->’l beat Notre Dame this year, , ju.t have a good hearty laugh. Someone suggested we pick I an all-American team and put 11 Notre Dame men cn it but Charlie Knapp insists that we pu* the Purdue player who failed to kick goal in the Indiana game in the backfield. I Borne won two games this weekI end which shows that the Bears ! have a good teain. Tlie Jolinson- ; men p'ayed perhaps their best game of the season Saturday p’ght when thev trimmed Monroe- • ville unmercifully. Next week Berne meets the I Suburb at Berne. We’re reserving our prediction on the outcome of that game. •I If you haven't anything to do , I Tuesday night you might pick up n load of fans and drive over to I Bluffton to see the Decatur-Bluff- : ton charity net game. , Joe Simmons is scheduled tn sinq between halves at the , Charity game, but don’t let that bother you. there are 9 exits in the building and you can have a smoke. Next Friday night the Curtismen will have another real test. South Side of Fort Wayne comes down here. It's been bwo years now siince South Side lias beaten Decatur. Let's make it three straight. o DECATUR TEAM IS EGG-MOBBED There has been much rivalary in basketball in northeastern Indiana the last few years but Saturday night was the first time that the rivalry between Decatur and any other team ever reached the rottonegg stage. As the bus and several automos- biles carrying Decatur players and v fans approached the main part ot o Huntington, the local automobiles were the recipients of a bevy of eggs from the hands of Huntington ll people. d The eggs splashed against the y automobiles and one car, with the ?- window part way down was forced s to pull over to the curb and stop, e while the splatterings were wiped U away from the glasses and interior it of the automobile. No one was injured in the esca pade and Decatur fans and players conducted themselves in a manly fashion, refusing to return the assault. Those who wer® attackea said that the incident diH not occur on school property anti probably was the act of some of the rougher element of the city. o —— Get the Habit —Trade at Home
