ALL ADAMS COUNTY BASKET-' BALL TEAMS — SEND YOUR I CONTRIBUTIONS TO BASKET- 1 ' BAWLS. Apparenly the depression has failed to discourage basketball ■ fans, and there was a bigger crowd : at the Decatur-Jefferson game last I Friday than at the opening game a year ago. The Yellow Jackets have room I for improvement, but looked mighty good in their opener for a green team. Coach Curtis is going to have a lot of trouble picking the five best—Looks like there are 10 in the race for regular berths. Coach Blondie Laurent has an- ; other week to shape up his Commodores for a tough season. The Catholic high school squad looks j a lot different than two weeksj ’ ago. and its going to be a plenty tough team before many weeks. — BEAT NEW HAVEN — A lot of good football games are I scheduled for next Saturday. j Interest will be focused on NOTRE j DAME-SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: i J MICHIGAN MINNESOTA and IN-' , DIANA PURDUE.
