Commodores Defeat Lima; Yellow Jackets Lose To Auburn 22-2 r

COMMODORES WIN OPENING NET CONTEST — Lose, Onilor. Hess Are Big Cogs In Big Offensive Drive A couple of Commodore youngsters, about the size of a nickel turned suddenly intoi S2O gold pieces and sent a pack of fans into hysterics as i the Commodores trimmed St. j Johns of Lima, O„ in the first ' D. C. H. S. basketball game of! the season here Wednesday | night by a count of 11-8. The two boys who furnished the match to start the fire were | nyfli- other than Bill Lose and Char- ' lie Onilor, both sailing their first sffSSon on the Commodore ship. Jjiow that doesn't subtract from ! the fine performance of four other ' ighting kids who 'battled away i with a defense that the much big- I ger and much more experienced St. i J dins team was unable to pencil ate. In the first two quarters, it ap-1 {reared as if Coach Laurent had i joined President Hoover in some i sort of a moratorium, and the Com- [ nibflores failed to connect from the I field. The visitors., however were ' only able to slip through the Deca- i fur man-for-man defense and while, St". Johns players were counting I for 2 points the Commies, or rath- ' er Carl Lose sank three from the free throw line and the score at the ' halt time was 3-2 in favor of Deca tnr. Coach Laurent started Hess and J Keller, both playing their first game I as first stringers at forward. Hess . has some size and is a dangerout I foe on short shots. Keller made a ’ -reat showing and kept battling away throughout the first half.' when the Commodore offense was! boxed tight. Kleinhenz started at center and , showed up remarkably. It was his ; first game as a regular and Bob had an accurate eye as center passer | and pivot man. Omlor and Carl j Lise started as forwards. Carl Lose | is the only full<fledged vet < an. ) Both guards played wall on defense j and both showed some offensive ability in the second period. At the opening of the second half

jR. Bechtol, Lima forward and l Casey, Lima guard made lield goals ' in rapid succession and the count I was 6-3 in favor of the Buckeyes. Things looked bad for the Laurent j men and the few shots the Commo- | dores were getting were going away wild. Th thi d quarter closed with Lima holding a 6-3 lead. After a minute of the last quarI ter hail flicked away, and most of the fans had surrendered all hopes lof winning the game. Coach Lau--1 rent sent Bill Lose into the scrap. In a few sopts in the bleachers the e w re even a few groans. Bill hadn't been in the game a lull minute wheq he sent the ball through , the hoop for the first Commodore I fielder, after snagging a beautiful pass from Omlor The score was i | 6-5 with Lima still leading and! j playing a back .court stall which had ' | the local quintet worried. Cha ley Omlor brought the crowd ■ to its feet when he intercepted a Lima pass and sent it through the [Decatur hoop. Decatur went into { the lead 7-6. McGrivey whipperl in two free' i throws a few seedkids later and Li-I ma. with a one-point lead went back ' I to a stall. Hess, who had been playing a I whale of a defensive game evened i the score with a free throw and a 1 j second later sent in one from un-; i der the basket on a sneak play j Decatur had a 2-point lead with i a minute and a half to play. Lima i continued to have the ball a lot of | the time and with 30 seconds re- ■ maining Bill Lose grabbed the ball ] and was tackled by the whole j i Buckeye team. He calmly put the j i game on ice by sinking a free i | throw. And thus ended a swell game for the opener, in the first preliminary !

Nov. 27.— (U.R) —North-. western's undefeated football team, gaining momentum for a possible i ! invasion of the far west and a ! game with Southern California NewYear's Day, will place its Big Ten I I championship at stake in a postseason charity game with Purdue’ , at Soldier Field Northwestern rightfull/ won the ■ 1 Big Ten title for the first time in 1 history when it completed its regular schedule wifli victories over Ohio State. Minnesota. Illinois, Indiana and lowa, but for *the sake of charity will go out tomorrow to i prove, its right to conference suI pre<nacy. L/in two other post-season games! ' Ohio Staet will battle Minnesota at Minneapolis and Wisconsin will meet Michigan at Ann Arbor. An' aggregate o. more than 100.000 per-; sons is expected to see these three : games and net charity about S2OO.- i 000. Approximately $13,000 was raised I for the unemployment in a football; tournament yesterday at Stagg, Field, in which the four weakest. teams in the conference played three 30-minute games. Indiana I won the tournament by defeating 1 Chicago in the final game. 6-0. The! Hoosiers were held to a 0-0 tie in , the opener by Illinois but won the decision on first downs. S to 4. Chicago defeated lowa in the other preliminary. 7-0. on an 85-yard punt return by Pete Zimmer. A 37-yard dash for a touchdown by Stanley Saluski decided the Indiana-Chi-cago affair witnessed by a crowd of 10,000. Whatever chance Northwestern has to get the invitation for the tournament of Roses game will depend on the Wildcat's showing against Purdue. Os course, even if the Wildcats win decisively theyj will have to get permission of the Big Ten faculty representatives to make the trip. It has been reliably reported that Northwestern has a 50-50 chance to get the Big Ten's permission because of the charity angle. From every standpoint it is the most important game played by Northwestern since the Wildcats 0-0 tie with Notre Dame in the mud and rain in October. If Purdue upsets Northwestern, it is possible for a two., three or fjur way tie for the title to result. Purdue, which has lost only one game to Wisconsin. 21-14. can tie for the title by winning, which Michigan and Ohio State also can finish in the money by winning from Wisconsin and Minnesota, respectively. After a slump against Indiana | and lowa, the Wildcats have shown, more enthusiasm in practice this - I week for Purdue than at any time I since the Minnesota game. Coach Dick Hanley plans to return to his three-fourths sophomore backfield for the first time since the Ohio State game, with Potter it quarter, Melman and Rentner at i halfbacks and Olson at fullback. All of these players except Rent- | ner are sophomores. Q Monmouth Wins Game; Kirkland Is Beaten Kirkland township high school second team continued its winning streak by defeating Monroeveille | Wednesday night 20-9 but the KanI garoos didn't have such a happy Thanksgiving, having lost to MonI roeville bby a score of 18-11. Both I games were interesting and the Kirklanders got some bad breaks I in the big game. Monmouth Eagles trimmed Geneva's Cardinals Wednesday night at Monmouth by a score of 37-26. The game was close at times, and the Cardinals threatened to steal the lead on several occasions. The Haggardmen played exceptional ball all the game. In the preliminary the two second teams played a tie game 1 17-17. - o Hot Air Auto Heaters for all model cars at half price. G. V. Porter, 341 Winches- | ter street.

FIGHT PROGRAM TO BE MONDAY IN THIS CITY Baker Says Everything Is Ready For County Elimination Meet Twelve Adams'county amateur boxers already have registered for the county boxing tournament to be' held Monday night at Decatur i Catholic high school auditorium under the auspices of the American Legion boxing committee. Several more scrappers are expected to enter for county titles before the deadline Monday noon, Lloyd Baker. I committee chairman stated today. The 12 men already registered ! and qualified are C. Geimer, Ed An- ! derson. Ed Sauer. Dale Death. Buck ] Rahyl, Ed Lobsiger. C. Fannig. W.; | Bailor. Audrey Mosure, Doyle I Smith, M. Bailor and Don Bailor.

Tickets I are now on sale for the fight pro-| gram and a capacity audience is I expected. J Legion members will sell the i tickets and admission can also be lobtained at the door the night of; the fights. More than 35 rounds | lof good boxing are promised. The! winners of the various matches will represent Adams county in othier tourneys.

The Commodores showed a crowd jof some 250 people Wednesday night how to fight when things look the darkest. Chances are we’ll hear more about the Commodores before the season is over. Coach Laurent has a green team—but the players all look like comers. —oOo — Two Commodores are still ineligible, but probabilities are both boys will make up their delinquencies | this week. D. C. H. S. iias a week* .ly eligibility system, giving an ex-1 amination at the close of each week’s work. Officials at D. C. H. S. showed they meant business last Wednesday and two good basketball players were withheld from the Lima game. The Curtismen lost a tough one at Auburn, but that shouldn't discourage the Yellow Jackets and it won’t. There’s stuff on that squad and after a little development Decatur will have one of the best teams it ever has boasted. —oOo— Monroeville here tonight— Decatur should win comfortably—Probably Coach Curtis will try out some of his newer material. —oOo— The crowds attending basketball i games this year already indicate that it's a great winter sport. Both the Yellow Jackets need a lot of free throw practice—and often times a free throw wins a ball game. —oOo — Beat Monroeville. While Decatur is doped to win tonight—Don’t forget that Monroeville fans are boasting the best team in the last five years. Some of the Yellow Jacket fans returning from Auburn are somewhat ruffled about the conduct of the Auburn crowd. —oOo— The rooting section at the Auburn gym saved its best cheering until a Decatur player was about to shoot a free throw -—the cheering proved very effective and Decatur made 3 out of 15 attempts. —oOo — Roily Chambers, Fort Wayne official seemed to be watching Decatur closely—of the numerous fouls called on the Jackets the above mentioned Chambers called more than 90 per cent, of them. There are five or six Fort Wayne officials who can't get games in Fort Wayne to save their lives — yet nearby towns fight to pay them sls to officiate games.

And by the way, some northern Indiana officials who receive sls to officiate at a high school basket-, ball game also officiate in the Wa- i bash Valley league for $5.00 a game and pay their own expenses. r ! —oOo — Looks like class legislation. —oOo— BEAT MONROEVILLE.

The snowfall began yesterday I i afternoon and made the highways i slippeiy for Thanksgiving holiday I motorists.
