It was a great game and at; i least it brought Santa Claus to a | lot of homes,. Lawrence Jake I Beal refereed the second half and i umpired the first half. Immediately after the game, I Captain Sheener Miller climbed up lon the rostrum and challenged the | Suburbers to a return game to be j played here in the next week or, two. The challenge was accepted * by Frank Buckner, sports writer for the Bluffton News-Banner, who was forced to wipe tears away, j, | which flowed freely because of the) great hanpiness. It was the first time in Buck's career that he had | seen a Bluffton team beat Decatur In any athletic contest.

ALBION FAILS TO GIVE LOCAL NETMEN BATTLE IG. E. Club Wins 44-34 In Independent Game Here Tuesday ■ . Decatur G. E. Club basketball team added another vic- , tory to its growing list of athletic, assets by trimming the Albion Hubs at Catholic hivh school gymnasium last night by a count of 12-32. iThe local netmen let down m the closing half after taking lan early lead. • The score at half time was 21-7, land th? local team worked with ; such precision that the Hub ag--1 gregation was unable to penetrate [the defensive forces with any scoring satisfaction. All of the Decatur regulars scored frequently and after th* game b came a cue-sided affair the utility men were sent in to drill a little for harder games on the local schedul . One Alb'on player, MeCally. forward, was the only visitor able to break through the Decatur d sense consistently. He accounted for 16 cf his team's 32 points and played a rood floor game. Engle. Hill. Bell and Strickl r were best for Decatur. In the preliminary game the Gen ral Electric Motors team trimmed the Albion Merchants 22-16 in a well played game. Next week the G. E. Club netm n will have a heavy schedule. On Tuesday night the local aggregation will meet Butler here. On Thursday night Decatur will play the Kirkland Whippets in a charity gam tet the Good Fellows club. On Saturday night the team will go to Berne for a return game with the fast A.C. aggregation of that town. Lineup and summary: G. E. Club (42) F.G. F.T. T.P.

Ba ketbawls found an account of a basketball game played here with Concordia college in 1913, which Decatur won in an overtime 30-27. The account of the story says it was a ‘great victory because lose (Dr. F. W.) and Franks (Leland) regulars, were out of the lineup.” When the game ended the score was 27-27 and since there were ho rules for overtime games the referee decided that the team which made a field goal first would win. Bob Peterson was the hero of the game and after six minutes he sank a long one, which brought the Porter hall crowd to its reet. The Decatur lineup was Kauffman and Tyndall, forwards; Vanoil, center; Falk' and Peterson, guards. In the summary of the game one line says: “Referee, Foster, the square man from Bluffton." That was 17 years ago. It must make Doc Lose. Oonie Franks and Dan Tyndall feel a bit rheumatic. The Bluffton charity game la~t night was a lot of fun—and there weren’t any serious altercations. Cousin Brick, who left the fold a few years ago and went to the Suburb for fresh air attended the gapic and relinquished his last rights to claim Decatur as his residence by sitting in the Bluffton section. Here's Buck's daily sermon from

‘Out of Bounds”: A Disgrace Those Huntington high school boys who tossed eggs at the Decatur team and fans Saturday night not only disgraced themeelves but brought criticism to their school ind city. The school had nothing ‘o do with the affair, but the school and city will have to stand much of the blame when the story is related elsewhere. The boys involved have been fined and expelled from school, but that will not entirely remove the stain. Decatur and Bluffton are also great rivals in athletics, but it can truthfully be said that never has this rivalry extended beyond the field of battle I where the teams play it out. And it should remain this way. Any I effort on the part of fans toward i a continuance of hostilities will only result in irrepairable damage to the schools. Then Buck says too that the Huntington tans didn't root for Decatur but they were “eggin’ them on.” BEAT LIMA, COMMODORES. BEAT SOUTH SIDE, YELLOW JACKETS. ' Both Decatur teams have real ‘oes to battle Friday night — here’s hoping for a double doee ’ if winning. Today in South Bend will long be remembered —The National Champs come home — Knute Rockne and Co. after having staged a ten-weeks slant! in all parts of the nation. The Irish changed the tune Open Wide Those Golden Gates” io “Open Wide .-That California Line.” And climate and all failed to ffect the South Benders — They went and did things. Col. Fred Reppert was De- ’ catur's contribution to the 90,000 who saw the battle of the season last Saturday at Los Angeles. BEAT SOUTH SIDE. BEAT LIMA, t ' Coach Curtis isn’t satisfied yet with his Yellow Jacket team and he's working them hard every afternoon in preparation tor the south Side scrap. Coach Laurent •is sending his a Commodores through Some new e tricks this week and has high e hopes of turning Lima back Friday I night.

ARMY, NAVY ARE I READY FOR TILT New York, De . 10 —(UP) With I dispatches from West Point and Annapolis giving every Indication that Saturday's Army-Navy game I will be another one of those traditional bitterly fought battles royal I interest in the coming classic is inI creasing by leaps and bounds, and ! the game now is expecteil to be a [ brilliant success both as a sports attraction and for unemployment 1 relief. I Navy after*bogging down in a mediocre early season, suddenly flashed great power against Penn, and the Midshipmen probably will be a' their peak when they line np for the kick-off against the egdets. On paper Army still has an edge over their ancient rivals, due largely to : the West Pointers' dogged stand against Notre Dame, but the Naval [menace from Annapolis seems sudI denly to have found itself, and the Army will need more than statistics of past performances to keep the future admirals from crashing through to victory Saturday. Ticket sales have already passed the $6(10.000 mark, and with only 17,000 out of the original 80,000 pasteboards remaining unsold, the citizens committee of the Salvation Army are optimistic that the final receipts will overtop the original million dollar quota The autographed football, which will be auctioneered off between the halves to the highest bidder, as been insured for $50,000. and now awaits the opening kick-off under the 24-hour surveillance of a Pinkerton detective. The ball, which will be used for only one play —the openng kick-off, bears the signatures of President Hoover, secre’aries of war and navy, and the football teams and coaches of both West Point and Annapolis. Several bids have already been received on thi j unique pigskin, including one for SI,OOO from Bud Fisher, o TAX REVISION REPORT FILED "CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE' government; establishment of an efficiency rating system for grading ounties, townships and municipal officials; delegations of authority to live loval expenditures in the hand.\ of lot al officials, and amendment of the state constitution to provide that “the general assembly shall by law provide for assesment and taxation. Several other recommendations acting upon which would be deterred until the foregoing had been disposed of, include consolidation of '•ounties and elimination of consoli"lation of townships, as an economy measure. It is pointed out further that "thA committee fully realizes that the recommendations are not all of the changes in our tax system, and in the organization of our local government which might be expected to reduce the property tax."

Parties similar to the • one attended by Miss Draves are ■ not unusual under present circumstances,’ ’said the defense lawyers. The W. C. T. U. announced it would place the “facts of the case” before Governor Leslie's committee. Referring to “laxity of lawenforcement," the statement said: “Th • Christen women of Indiana have stood for this outrage long enough, and we appeal to Senator “ Holmes to place the facts before the law enforcement agencies In 1 Gary and if they do not act take it ovtr their heads to Attorney General James M. Ogden. 1 “We ask yon to see that law abiding citizens get the protection guaranteed by our state enforcement code and that the bootleggers who furnished the liquor gets full justice. “Too long we have suffered in silence,” Mrs. Stanley wrote, “and I find myself writing to you today in regard to the crime which blotted out the life of a young woman and wrecked the homes of four ot five boys who are behind prison bars.” Since a week ago last Sunday when Paul Barton, Virgil Kirkland David Thompson, Leon Stanford and Henry Shirk drove to a doctor’s ■ offica with the body of Miss Draves not knowing she was dead, parents 9 of high school pupils and younj ?

Backemeyer, pas tor of the First i’resbyt* rian church and official of the state Anti-Saloon Leagir . t "Present day conditions, includI Ing unusual temptations, lack of , enforcement and bad training , are to blame," the preacher said. William A. Wirt, Gary superinI t ndent of schools, denied that . drinking is a problem among high I ! school stndf nts. i "Only one of the men charged i with murder in Miss Draves’ death i finished high school," Wirt said, i 1 "The others were dismissed or* ■ I transferred to military schools. “There may be soni • isolated I drinking, but liquor is not a problem." ' BELIEVE JOB . CREATION BILL WILL BE PASSED ' (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ■ committee of the senate had ' recommended a fund of $60,000,00*) for this purpose and he thereupon i gave out to the papers this assault upon the senate, and each and i every one of its members, because ■ each ami every one of its members voted for the resolution i ! which contained the $60,000,000 II instead of $25,000,000." I McKellar said he demanded an i apology from the president. “The statement given out by the 11 president,” he said. “Assaulting j and denouncing the senate and its ■; members is unworthy of the chief • magistrate of this nation or of any I nation. “If he is worthy of his office, ho will apologize to the senate. If he is unworthy he will not apologize to the senate.” McKellar cited the constitution- > al provision that the president shall "from time to time give to ' the congress information of the state of the union and recommend legislation." ' In other words,” he ’continued, ■ [’the ipistitmtion provides specifically how the president may [ transact his business with ihe congress. Under well known I t rules of law, the expression of one r method is the exclusion of others I j “The president evidently desired ) that the senate should know that he disapproved of the $60,000,000 , resolution. Instead of sending ai ? message to the senate expressing I ‘ his disapproval, he takes the un-1 dignified. unconstitutional and] angry way of running to the news- ■ papers with his statement. “Os conn e." McKellar added, “I do not know that the president' t - ever read the constitution and if . he is ignorant of its terms, then , he cannot he criticized so severely, but it does seem to me that when s lie wants to advise the congress | te should peruse constitutional f methods and send his message to congress direct. His denunciation I of the senate and of senators in . til's way is certainly unbecoming to tlie dignity of the high office which he holds for the moment.” “As soon as Mr, Hoover became president he began a career of utter disregard for the propriety of 8 government." McKellar said. McKellar said he did not know ' Deere had ever been “a final ace counting" of a $100,000,000 fund a appropriated after the war on sug--1 gestion of Mr. Hoover, who then j. was food administrator. "The congress," he continued, ‘voted $100,000,000 for the starving allies in Europe and this fund e was turned over to Mr. Hoover to 1 spend. Whether there has ever ' been a final accounting of this '■ fund I do not know. The last one ‘ I saw did not show the entire sum. I don't think anybody else knows." Nomination Approved v Washington.
