(By Pete Reynolds) That was a heartbreaker right the : Commodores lost last night. To be nosed out in an overtime battle after holding a fairly substantial lead •more than three-fourths of the ball [game is a tough blow to take any i time. 000 i x This Delphos club seems to be pot [son to the Commodores. This is the 'third victory in four starts for St. Johns over Decatur this season. On-: I ba I quarter seems to do the dirty • work every game. Last night it was the fourth quarter .last week it was ■ the third quarter that was disas- ■ ' trous. 000 The Commodores no doubt were ; badly hampered by a smoke filled: gym last night. Delphos school an J ithorities permit smoking in the gym iduiing the game and that foul air, | ! growing worse as the game went on, had some of the boys gasping for a'l breath of decent air during the last j half. 000 We are pot offering the smoke I j»uisance as an alibi but do think it is all wrong to permit such a j tiling. The Delphos team no doubt: was handicapped just as much by ■ the smoke as the Commodores. 000 Leo Dowling. Commodore center, I

Deicatur defeated Ossian at Ossian in the opening game of the season. 17 to 13, and a fierce battle is expected tonight. 000 The Yellow Jackets wil attempt |to maintain their perfect percentage in the Northeastern Indiana confet1 ence when they played Garrett Garrett tonight. The locals should win without much trouble although they will be handicapped by the atseme of three men suffering with the mumps. 000 Garrett lias a record of two victories and five defeats in the cor.ference race this season. Both vic lories recorded were forfeits. North Side forfeited to the Railroaders through their refusal to schedule a game and Central forfeited to Garrett because of the playing of an ineligible man. 000 The drawing tor the state Catholic tourney will be made Saturday night at Indianapolis.
