Yellow Jackets, on your victory in the sectional tourney. 000 Decatur’s toughest game in the tourney was with Kirkland in the semi-finals Saturday afternoon, when the Yellow Jackets won by six points with an offensive flash

i good for three baskets in rapid i succession late in the game. 000 The final battle Saturday night proved rather an anti-climax after the tussles in the afternoon games between Berne and Geneva and Decatur and Kirkland. 000 The Yellow Jackets piled up <i real lead in the first three quarters of the game, holding a 15point lead at half time. Berne failed to score a field goal until the last five minutes and then j connected for five baskets. 000 The Yellow Jackets were not iin danger at any time, Berne's ! final basket coming just as the I last gun fired, cutting Decatur’s margin to three points. Berne was unable to penetrate the Deca- . tur defense for good shots at. any : time during the contest while the Yellow Jackets seemed able to -break through at will. 000 ' Congratulations are due the Geneva Cardinals for the battle they ! gave Berne in the semi-final. That : was tjic closest to an upset of any game in the meet. 000 After the final game, the folJ lowing announcement was made ;by the tourney officials: “Owing to the fact that picking an all- ; tournament team often results in i mutual hard feeling among fellow | players, the officials have decided 'against picking an all-star team. ' The player with the best mental | attitude, however, is outstanding. Jake Hill of Decatur.” 000 Announcement was made today (that Winston Ashley of Anderson and George YJrnelle of Wabash, ; havr been named officials so- the , regional tourney at Fort Wayne , Saturday. oOc i The Yellow Jackets will meet i the Huntington Vikings at 3 p. m. i Saturday*.

FAVORITES LOSE INTOURNAMENTS Several Strong Teams Eliminated by Dark Horses Saturday Indianapolis. Mar. 9 -(U.R) Basketball for the 1930-31 season is •nded for 702 Indiana high school as the result of their defeats in sectional games Friday ‘ and Sati urday. Among those dropped from the annual state chamipionship running. which extends over three j week-ends, were several teams j considered of near championship calibre and others which were expected to advance to the regional round. )\U the stronger favorites for the net crown remain in competition, however. The most spectacular upset came in the Anderson sectional when Alexandria overpowered Anderson in a triple-overtime game, Anderson had been the predicted winner, although Alexandria was runner-up to Anderson in the sectional finals last year. Last year Shelbyville barred the path of Columbus, a favorite, to regional and possibly final games, but Columbus found its revenge Saturday. Bedford lost by a one-point margin to Oolitic, a dark horse, which in turn lost to Mitchell. Other strong teams eliminated included: Crawfordsville, Emerson and Froebel of Gary. South Side and Central of Fort Wayne, Washington of East Chicago, Greenfield, Rochester, New Albany. Syracuse, Seymour and Goshen. On the other hand, most of the stronger teams turned in impressive scores. The champion, Washington. never was threatened, and I Frankfort, Muncie, Newcastle, . Connersville, Kokomo, Logansport !?n l Greencastle, won easily, i Some of the surprise champions i in sectional games were Tell City, I Vevay. Brookston, Owensville, Brownstown.
