S. C. he contented himself by becoming the nation's best collegiate broad juniper. Faced with the necessity of revamping his backfield unless he could find an adequate substitute fullback this fall. Coach Howard Jones let it be known that he would be grateful for a good understudy to Jim Musick. Friends of Barber suggested to him .that his 180 pounds might be just the thing Jones wanted. Barber turned out and after fall practice opened and found himself about number six on the fullback list. But Jones brought Barber along swiftly. He was the fastest man on the squad and worked easily into the Jones system. Now when Musick leaves the field it's usually Barber who replaces him. Bari » r has shown tremendous drive in his appearances here and his speed is a boon to the Trojan backfield. Ordinarjly, when Barber goes in at full, Orville Mohler, Southern California's most elusive ball carrier, is at quarterback. And Barber and Mohler, behind the blocking of Pinckert and Tom Mallory turn in plenty of vardage. An element that would make Barber an ideal surprise packet for Notre Dame is that the Irish have never seen him in action, although they have worked against all the other Trojan ball-toters. Barber is 21 years old and is scheduled to graduate at midsemester of the 1932-33 year. He is the holder of the I.C.A.A.A.A. broadjump title with a leap of 25 feet 3% inches.

Dr. F. W. Lose, president; Paul Briede, vicepresident ; Margaret Holthouse, treasurer and Joe Lose, secretary, were chosen by acclamation. Rev. Joseph Hennes also was named as advisory member of the board by a unanimous vote. Prior to the election of officers. Miss Holthouse gave the treasurer's report for last year showing that the association, which sponsors Catholic high school athletics, I besides athletic events for its own | members, had a balance of more I than SSOO with all bills paid. Plans were made for the sale of I season tickets for the Commodore ‘ home games and, it was announc-j cd that already 187 tickets had ; been disposed of. The season tic- ! ket goal for the year was set at 300. A schedule for the volley ball league and plans for a city volley ball team to play other city teams were discussed. Short talks were made by Dr. Lose, Rev. Joseph Hennes, Rev. Father J. A. Seimetz, who urged support of high school athletics as a vital unit of young manhood, Coach George Laurent and Dick Heller of the sports department of the Daily Democrat. Membership in the association, which is open to the public and which gives members the use of the Catholic high school gymnasium and shower rooms, will be open for the next two weeks.

Bob Hill's (’loverleaf basketball team deserves the support of every basketball fan in town. He’s got the best independent net aggregation ever to represent Decatur. The big topic of conversation after the Decatur - LaFountaine game last night, was “what a team?" The visitors weren’t any set-up, and Hill, Mylott, Gass, V. Hill, Gerber, Horton and Debolt gave them plenty—of basketball. Hoe Lose again heads the Catholic Athletic association which means that the association will lie a huge success again. Just to prove that. Doc already has sold 150 season tickets for the Commodores. Principal W. Guy Brown announced today that there were about a dozen season tickets for the Yellow Jacket home games still on the auction block—After Friday night the season ticket sale will be off—and you’ll have to battle for single admissions. We're sort of beginning to wonder if the Suburb is going to have a llasketball team this season ■ Buck, Wells county's last word in high school athletics has’been tolling tlie world through his column all about the other other Wells county net teams —where's Bluffton? New Haven comes here Friday night to do battle with the CurI tismen. The White-coached aggregation is a dangerous outfit—halways watching for the breaks—- ; ami generally getting a lit of ’ them. It'll be some game—Have you ordered your ticket? The Kirkland Rock Creek game ; Friday night will be played at I Rock Creek a former announcement said the game would be at Kirkland. Kirkland always has a good basketball team because every resident of the township is for Kirkland — right or wrong it's Kirkland—and In basketball that’s

A gridiron classic to delight the heart of the rabid football fan will • be the battle between Notre Dame and the University of Southern California on November 21 at South Bend. The Irish have torn through ail opposition this season—with the exception of Northwestern. which game ended in a tie—and the U. of S. C. gridders are con ’dered the most formidable opponents to face the great football machine to date. The game will feature a brilliant galaxy of the most colorful stars in both teams. Captain Tom Yarr of Notre D?me will lead the attack that he hopes will result in a repetition of t' ’’6 victory scored last year over Southern California. With

a pretty good system. Bill Bryan always starts out sort of blue like —and ends with one of the best, teams in the county. , Hartford is coming strong this ; year, and looks to be a dangerous contender. Berne goes to Bluffton Friday I to play the Parlor City quintet. Os course Basketbawls is for 1 Berne. The Decatur high school Girls' | ■ basketball team has started on a championship march—two straight. > i Red Baker is making plans for ■ a series of boxing tourneys to be held here this winter under the i auspices of the American Legion. 1 Last year about 40 Adams county young men learned a lot I about the art of self defense— I and this year the Legion team I ought to stack up with any in ! northern Indiana. BEAT NEW HAVEN. _o __ CRIMSON PLANS PURDUE ATTACK — i , Bloomington, Ind., Nov. 18 —; While it looks as though Indiana's ‘ passing attack against Purdue here Saturday is going to be handicap- j ; ped through absence f ont the line-1 ' up of Opasik and Lions, the North- j western game'of last Saturday did | not add to Indiana’s cripples. With I ' the exxeeption of Lyons and Opasik.; the Hoosier squad has been glint i good in drills this week for Purdue, j It was generally expected that the heavy Northwestern backs would batt r Indiana to pieces, but I * [ the results w re just the contrary. Riley, Evans ami other Northwestern heavies left thfe game suffering, while Indiana's playcis came off lhe field with only their feelings hurt over losing to a team they admittedly outplayed. r End sweeps have been on th ■ln 5 Jiana menu for its last three games r which Is just what the "Scrappin' . Hoosiers ’ feel they have ne ded In preparation for Pitidue. They don't believe anybuiy excells It inner in circling Ihe ends. They stopped him and they believe they can stop , Fr d Hecker, Jim Purvis, Paul Pardonne , and what have you fiomi t Purdue. They stopped Northwestern parses too. The Boilermakers forwards are 4 .cpait.d none too agile this year and Indiana thinks it can hold its J line from tackle to tackle. Evidence of this came to light In f the Michigan game, when the Wol _ verities weer able to gain only 38 . yards inside of Indiana's tackles. _ When it came to Michigan's end _ sweepts, it was different, but now i j that Rentner and company fail d in i . their flank movements, Indiana | fools some more confident on de- [ fonse. Ih? Hoosieis have a defen-1 , sive ace also in theii 200-pound full- I I back, Jones, who gives the other fellows bplenty to do to bbring back j t his 50 yard punts. On offense, Indiana is going to | have to depend on getting away | j Jesse Babb, or Ivan Fuqua or Stan j t Saluski, with an occasional aerial j r thvust from Vic Dauer, to Bernard ; s Dickey, Jack Hansen, or Peter Mars tich.

HORNSBY MAY CHANGE MIND By Henry McLemore, UP Staff Correspondent New York, Nov. 15. —(U.R) —Putting the sports shot in any and all ! directions: Don't be surprised it the Messrs. Hack Wilson and Pat Malone stay with the Chicago Cubs next season. You’ve heard a lot about Rodgers Horiudiy being a slavedriver, a I despot, and a 2S ininutfe hardboiled ! egg, and maybe he is. But tough ! !ur not tough, the old Rajah is a I square guy, and if Wilson and Ma- 1 lone should happen sincerely to ' want a second chance, it’s our opinion that they'd get it. This talk about Chicago letting Wilson and Malone go for the waiver price, or tor a couple of bandy-' legged nobodies is a laugh. Almost 'as big a laugh as the news from | Madison Square Garden that before I Jim Londos pinned George Calza Ito the mat, the other night, the ichampion was on the brink of de-' feat. Boy, that brink of defeat must be pretty well worn down, for Londos ■has been walking on it almost , I nightly for three years. It also ’must be equipped with non-skid I material, for Londos always man I ages to keep from slipping off. I Why not have Hobart and Prim eton play a game for charity —a ! I sort of benefit performance for Ho-! | hart and Princeton. One of 'em i might win. Hobart, you know, has' [lost 27 straight games, ami Prince-, I ton is mighty nigh as bad. In ord-! er to make sure that both teams | scored, Princeton's players could I be chained to the ground in the ' first half, and Hobart's placed in straight jackets and made to carry , anvils undm - their arms in the last I two quarters. Several yfears ago the Hobart students vowed never to shave un-1 til the team came through with a ! victory. They kept their promise i until a few months back when the ! state game warden, fearing a for- ' est tire, ordered the boys to di! away with their beards. If you’ve got any extra sugar ly-! ing around, why, take my advice and get a little of it down on Notre ' Dame to whip Southern California and Tony Canzoneri to wltoppo Kid Chocolate. Both the Irish and Italian will win by knockouts. How jdo 1 know? Pals, it’s a gift. Whatever happened to Pepper Martin? Navy, Coach Rip Miller says, will ‘ match Soul hern Methodist pass for pass on Saturday. If the Navy <z> Whether services —are held at your home or at our i funeral home, the cost is com- ; paratively the same. W. H. Zwick & Son FUNERAL DIRECTORS Mrs. Zwick, Lady Attendant .

•• Joe Kurth at right tackle and Marchmont Schwartz in the halfback position, where he has played such perfect football that he is well in the running for the All-American, the Irish will take a lot ! of stopping. The Californians, too, have their stars, for Gus Shaver will be out there maintaining his reputation as one of the finest quarterbacks on the Coast. Captain Stan Williamson will, as usual, play the center position, where he will match brain and muscle with the doughty Mister Yarr. Then there is Orv Mohler, who has built up quite a name for himself as ball carrier. Yes sir, it’s going to be some game. The winner? Your guess is as good as anyone’s.

INVENTIONS AID CAVALRYMEN Washington, Nov. IS. —(U.R)--Cav-alry lias been supplemented by two modern inventions, the radio and airplane, to increase its effectiveness. How portable radio sets and scouting planes have given the cavalry news eyes and ears is told by Maj. Gen. Guy V. Henry, Chief of Cavalry. During the recent cavalry maneuvers in a wild, mountainous country, the horsemen were accompanied by airplanes. The liianes were radio-equipped and small receiving and sending sets were Carried on horseback. “In these maneuvers,'’ Henry said, “the importance of quick and reliable radio communication between cavalry columns, while they were actually marching and in combat, was demonstrated. “The radius of cavalry action is being greatly increased and its ability to disperse safely into several columns on a wide front is belli insured by radio communication.” Cavalry is leaning heavily on , mechanical aids these days. Aside ' from the radio and airplane, cavalry experts are seeking to employ ; armored cars to supplement the horse. The army also is experimenting with a six-wheel, tourwhel drive, reconnaissance car. o- ———''' NOTICE —No hunting allowed on Fred Reppert farm or Bellmont Park. 2 < 2-3 t BARGAINS — Bargains in Living Room.
