hCtJKFWiWL - (By Pete Reynolds) The C mmodores lost a tough one last night to .St. Johns, of Delphos. That third quarter scoring splurge staged by Delphos was disastrous to the Commodore' hopes. A little better luck in making their shots stick might have turned the tide for the Commodores last night. Only six baskets connected out of 46 attempts. That shows an average of very little over 13 percent, which is far below normal shooting for tho Commodores. Credit must be given to that

Delphos team, however. They looked like a mighty tough ball club last night and scored a welldeserved victory. The St. Johns defense was p'enty hard to penetrate. as the Commodores learned '.o their sorrow. The Commodores will play a return Rime at Delphos next Thursday, February 19. according »o an announcement made following the game. Delphos now holds •he edge over the locals. In the 'hree games played, Delphos has ■von two games and the Commodores will be out to even the score next week. Another tough battle is schedO' d for the Commodores Friday '‘’'■lit. when they will entertain he New Haven Bulldogs on the local floor. New Haven defeated ‘he local team at New Haven earlier in the season by a few points and a good game can be anticipated tomorrow night. Announcement was made today '•<• oficia's of the St. Josernh high school that in the future all seats in the gym will be reserved. Tick- '>»« are b ing printed today and •■’ll b’ a’’■’liable at the door tomorrow night and at other games ■L's seasott. This action has been taken bemuse of trouble arising last night. Several Delphos fans occu’'id seats sold to season ticket holders and so difficulty was experienced in making these fans move., The school officials deeply regret last night's difficulty and wish to apologize for any inconvenience suffered by Commodore fans. No games are scheduled this week for the Decatur Yellow lackets. Only two games remain ■m their schedule. Both are con-f-rrnce names, one at Garrett Feb--'•ary 20 and Kendallville here F-brfia-v 27.

Two games will be played 'n the afternoon and two at night. * - Here’s a contribution: “Dear Pete —After rehding the contrib which an eighth grader sent you 1 thought I would send some real dope on the tourney so here ’tis. Central is going to win. They will p'av i9t. Joe in the afternoon and will win. 20 to 9. Then they will p'ay Berne and the score will be 17-11. Yours, Central to Win.” And another contrib: “Dear Pete - A little information for your column. Kirkland plays New Haven Saturday. The team is working hard but is handicapped by Beery being confined to his home with tonsilitis. Borne, guard is unable to practice because of a badly cut hand, but will probably play Saturday. Thompson, reserve team guard, is also on the eick list. The Kangaroos are expecting a terrific battle but expect a win for they won from New Haven there, 13 to 4.”
