BEWHISKEREO STARS COMING FOR NET GAME House of David Team To Play Cloverleaf Netters Tuesday The House of David basketball team, winners in more than two-thirds of their encounters the last two years will visit Decatur next Tues-j dav night for a game with Decatur Cloverleafs, Wabash V alley league champions at Decatur high school gvmnas-1 ium. The game will start promptly at S o'clock and there will be no I preliminary. Manager Bob Hill an-1 nounced today. The regular Cloverleaf lineup will be lined with Horton and (lass at forwards; Gerber at center; and Debolt an I : Mylott at guards. That Decatur lias an opportunity . of being one of the few teams ini' the nation to defeat the bewhisker-I ed stars is apparent from the big | scores the locals have been run I ning up on teams in this territory. The House of David team has de- j seated almost every team in north ) eastern Indiana lately and has been ■ reluctant to schedule a game with ! the Decatur aggregation. Admission to vlie game will be I 15 cents for children and 35 cents | for adults. No seats will be ye I served and no tickets will be sold prior to 7 o'clock on the night of • the contest.

MAYAN TEMPLE RECONSTRUCTED Mexico City, Dec. 17. -(U.R) The Temple of the Tigers, another of i the Mayan temples of Chichen Itza, has been reclaimed from almost | I complete ruin. This temple com-1 pletes another part of the court where ancient games were played. The work of exploration and conservation. which is constantly car | ried on in Chichen Itza by the De-: partfneirt of Monuments, yielded the ruins of this interesting mouu-1 ment, which has been reconstruct- > ed by tlie archeologists, Eduardo I Martinez Canton and Jose Ercsa. | The archeologists met with great l difficulty in the reconstruction, as] the facade of the temple was in ruins and the ancient stones of which it had been built were found buried in the ground, surrounded by debris. Even more difficult than the problem of exhuming the stones intact was that of lifting them to their original positions, as some of them weighed more than three I tons. The c:.]” part of the recon-■ strnction n. a lacking Is the ar- ! rangente: ‘ . the stones of the i cornice and the merlons of the j j battlement.
