Dnsramwi ”j D- r. * d h. n&Soitn »t was rather a disastrous weekend for Decatur basketball teams. The Commodores fought on even terms for half of a game with Monroeville at Monroeville Friday night and then went hay wire and lost 31-7. At Winamac Friday night the Yellow Jackets rallied in the second half, but nnt sufficiently to overcome a 9-point lead and Winamac won 26-19. The Winamac ‘•am is a dandy and should be light up in the running during utate tournament titre. Saturday night at Mishawaka the Curtismen took another smack on the nose losing 17-12. That makes it 3 wins and 3 losses for the season. Both the Commodores and Yellow Jackets are green squads, but 6r»th will be a hundred percent, better in six weeks. The Commodores play St. Marys of Huntington here Wednesday night an[d go to New Haven Friday night. The Yellow Jackets go to Delphi

nest Friday night. The Commodores should at least break even and have a chance to win both games this week. Believe it or not, Delphi hasn't such a good team this year and the Curtismen have an excellent chance of beating the northern team. The Cloverleafs have come up a couple of notches in the Wabash Valley net loop and we still believe they will be leading the pack in a couple of weeks. Fort Wayne went basketball this week-end and all high school teams swung into action. The Fort Wayne teams appear to be strong this season and will give the Commodores and Yellow Jackets a run for their money. Decatur plays North Side December 18 at North Side. Adams county teams are getting better every week and are winning their share of out of county games. Coach Curtis says his boys learned a lot of basketball over the week-end. The Yellow Jackets started drill today for the Delphi game—The defense is pretty good but the offense lacks some punch. A basketball player who can't stay eligille. usually hasn't en»ugh gray matter to actually understand the complicated plays. That’s the rule and there always pre exceptions. Any player can drop out for a few weeks —-but the fellow with tha courage can GET HIS LESSONS. We’ve had examples of eligibility here this year—the boys on bcth squads have accepted the warning and players on both high school teams are making good grades now.

GARRETTBEATS DECATUR GIRLS The Decatur high school Lady Yellow Jackets were defeated by a strong Garrett high school girls’ team at Garrett, Saturday night. *O-18. The Garrett girls led throughout the entire game, the score at the halt being 15-12 in favor of Garrett. During the second half the Garrett gained a larger score without much opposition from the local team. Campbell was the referee.

SAVOLDI BACK ATFORTWAYNE Fort Wayne, Ind., Dec. 7.—An infraction of the rules of the university, causing his dismissal from Notre Dame, gave the wrestling world one of its most brilliant exponents in the person of Jumping Joe Savoldi. former famous fullback for the Irish. Savoldi, as prominent on the mat as he was on the gridiron, meets Al Newman, outstanding eastern heavyweight, in the feature match of Promoter Henry Stoeff a wrestling card at the Strand theater here Thursday night, December 10, Savoldi has appeared here before and never failed to attract a capac- , ity crowd. In fact, he has been the greatest individual sporting attraction to appear in Fort Wayne in recent years. Greater numbers than ever before, however, are expected to watch his match with Newman, for his reputation as a wrestler is gradually pushing his fame as a football star into the background. In more than 130 matches since he began wrestling a little more than a year ago, Savoldi has lost only one contest, and that to the peer of them all —Ed (Strangler) Lewis. This is a record unmatched by any other of the many wrestlers who turned their back on other professions after leaving college and began the long climb that some times leads to championship heights.

Newman is considered an excellent opponent for Savoldi. In his one and only appearance here, he gave Regis Siki, the giant Negro grappler, a terrific battle before the latter was able to obtain a victory. And this only after Newman had severely injured his shoulder flying through the ropes after missing a vicious flying tackle. The preliminary to this star attraction features Everet Marshall and Dick Lever, two well known boys who will stage a three-tall match with a time limit of 45 minutes. The windup is scheduled to go two out of three falls with a twohour time limit. Ticket reservations may be made now at the Strand theater box office. Fort Wayne, Ind., Dec. 7. —Pee Wae Jarrell, the Laughing Hyena from Mishawaka, who drives his opponents into a mad fury with his insane laughter and his sarcastic remarks, has been matched with Phil Walters, of East St. Louis, in the 10-round feature of Promoter Henry Stoeff's next fight card at the Strand theater here Wednesday night, December 9. Jarrell is a nationally known figure in the boxing world. His 1930 record includes fights with Sammy Mandell, when that gentleman was lightweight champion of the world, and Manny Quintero, flashy little Cuban. He lost both of these

i matches by narrow margins, but then this youngster from Mishawaka does not claim ta be a world i champion. He does have any numi her of victories over stellar lesser ■ lights, however. Stoeff is confident that in Walters he has selected an opponent equal to the better known Jarrell .' in every way except sacrasm. Wal- ' I ters. a terrific puncher, also has an ‘ impressive list of victories, includj' ing three over Otto Atterson. of I Terre Haute, who only last week ( lost his state junior welterweight championship to Moan Baumgartner. Fort Wayne, in the local ring. Four supporting bouts are being |lineu‘up by Stoeff. They will include a 10-roun 1 semi-final and three four-round preliminaries. Ticket reservations may be made at the Strand theater box office. Q Blackfoot Indians Will Feast on Buffalo Meat WASHINGTON —<U.R) Buffalo meat will again be eaten this winter by the Blackfoot’lndians of Montana. Big Chief Giggle Water, or some I other ancestor of the present ' tribes, had this great and hisi torical delicacy served in his wigwam about as often as we have red beans and rice and apple pie. But the day came when buffalo herds thinned out into pathetic bands. But this year the B'ackfeet are I to receive 100 buffalo carcasses, delivered F. O. B.

MAJOR LEAGUE OWNERS MEET — Chicago. Dec. 7 —(U.R>— Questions I of salary reductions for players.' change in the three-umpire system possible abandonment of doubleheaders and radio's value to baseball confronted National and; American dub ownerrs who convened here today for their annual meetings. The two major leagues will hold I separate sessions tomorrow and Wednesday, and will meet jointly on Thursday. While these issues are paramount with club owners, individual officials will mix with their discussion talk of private "deals” and trades expected to bolster their lineups next season. Minor league officials me* ting I at West Baden, Ind., last week | voted approval of setting maximum salary limits for players. Maior club owners are not expected to adopt this move, but to favor reducing salaries as each club sees fit. Complaints, especially from National league clubs, have been made against the practice of using three umpires in a game and the magnates are expected to consider seriously a change in this rule. Radio also will he fully discussed. Whether to ask pay for broadcasts of games, to require sponsors not to use their names in connection with broadcasts, or even to bah such rights to radio and advertisers are involved. The practice of moving ahead Monday games to provide Sunday double-headers is looked upon with disfavor by many officials and may be abandoned next season’. o — —Trade at Homa.

Girls Follow Football Through News Stories Alpena. Mich.. Dec. 7. — (U.R) — (Girls can’t play football so they read about the game, a survey of Public Library patrons revealed. While girls have forsaken romance for sport, the survey shows. 1 boys are reading sfories o( love and adventure. Schoolboys begin ' ( ailing for Zane Grey books as soon as they are old enough to read, according to librarians. GIRL ATHLETES FACE TESTS Oaland. Dee. 7.—(U.K) —There is a new problem in women's colleges these days: how intelligent are : women athletes? While most arguments concernling the relative intelligence of athletes to other students have revolved about their brothers. Mills College women have been discussing the question among themselves. Rosalino Cassidy, chairman of the Department of Physical Education. recently issued a questionnaire in the college newspaper, challenging students of the school to inform themselves regarding the answers. "In the next ten years you ; will need to do some very careful thinking in tTiis field," she declared. The questions covered sucn matters as "Why is it that women at California have no stadium games with thousands of dollars in gate .receipts," and “Have you a philosophy of participation in sports, sportsmanship and spectatorship." Then in number the queries were mainly directed toward ascertaining the knowledge possessed by women students regarding activity by women athletes.

I. U. TO START NET SEASON Bloomington, Ind., Dec. 7—Tuesday night Indiana university opens its 1931-32 basketball campaign in the Indiana univeersity field house here, with Miami university as the initial opponent of the season. The refe.ee will start things off at 7 p. m. The varsity game will be followed by a reserve team game between Miami and Indiana. The Hoosier netmen are far from ready for this tilt. It was only a week ago last night that three of the probable starte s in the game tonight reported for their first basket ball of the year at the conclusion of an unusually long gridiron schedule. Since then Coach Everett Dean has been r treed to push his team in every department in order to get it ready for the game tonight. Past experiences with Miami teams indicate that the Hoosiers are in for a battle. The fact that the Buckeye conference representatives gave several Big Ten teams a run for their money last year and this season present a veteran combination featuring identical twins at forward would also lead to the belief that the game is going to be tough one. So far as this year's formations and style of play are concerned the Miami quintet remains a mystery to the Indiana coach. Old f. lends will appear in the Crimson lineup tonight but may be in new roles. In practice this week. Campbell, star guard last year, was transposed with Zeller who drops back to back guard. V. Dauer is at forward as usual and Dickey at center. Suddith. a sensational sophomore, may maike his debut in this game. The lineup is extremely
