Yellow Jackets Trim Van Wert Net Team Here Monday Nightl

JACKETS ARE TOO MUCH FOR BUCKEYE FIVE Reserve Players Get Chance In Slow And Rather Ragged Tilt Decatur high school Yellow Jackets entertained for Van Wert, O w high school netmen at Decatur high school gymnasium Monday night and sent the Buckeye team back with the short end of a 33-19 i count. The score could have I been much more lop-sided, but i Coach Curtis was content to! be easy on the visitors and permit all of his reserve squad to take part in the game. Tire afjjir was ragged at times | with Hilh-Ogg and Gay doing most I of the “ptaying for the Curtismen I <Tnd Shock and Felger playing best i ter Van Wert. The visitors held a 4-1 lead for ■ £ couple of minutes, and then the! scoring guns for Decatur got aim-1 td at the basket and from the end ■ of the first quarter to the end of the game, there was never a doubt : as to the outcome. In the preliminary Central eighth' grade trimmed the Hoagland grad-; ers, 37-5. A big crowd saw the main go and while there were a few vacant I seats, the big bulk of main floor' seats were occupied. Bob Gay who ■ appeared to have hit his stride in ! the North Side game, continued to ■ play great basketball. Gay was, placed in the honor roll of the In-1 dianapolis Star Monday, but that 1 didn’t seem to affect his playing in I the leasf." i 1 Ogg played one of the best games' of his career and Vernon Hill, who ■ knows more basketball than the average high school player did | some real work in directing the

WINCHESTER COMING HERE Decatur high school Yellow Jackets will meet a tough Winchester high school net aggregation here Wednesday night, in the final game for the Yellow Jackets before the Christmas vacation. Winchester comes to Decatur with a string of 10 straight wins and no defeats this season ahd reports a e the Randolph county quintet is the strongest in the school's I history. Coach Curtis is drilling his team ( hard for the occasion, and every player is in good condition with the exception of Paul Strickler who ! has been suffering with throat trouble. The Wk.ctiester team has met and disposed of a lot . '.•■■ugh teams and recently trimmed its rival. Union City with a scare of points to go. Tickets for the game can be secured at the principal’s office at Decatur high school today and tomorrow until 6 o’clock. After that tickets can be obtained at the door until the game starts. There are about 75 available tickets and fans are urged to get them early if I they desire to see the game. The first game will start at 7:30 ■ o’clock and the big game will start I at 8:30.

DflsraMAWi. at \s*l * Jam The boys with the long whiskers will be here at S o'clock tonight. Bob Hill and his Cloverleaf team are all primed and ready for the big scrap. ■—oOo — Only two Indiana net teams have managed to stop the House |of David five this year — but our | guess is the Cloverleafs can do it. I —oOo — And for those who like high school basketball we’ll certainly recommend the CommodoreKirkland game at Kirkland tonight— The teams are evenly matched — Kirkland has the home floor advantage—but the Laurentmen have never been known to fold their tents —and we're guessing a real game. — oOo — Wednesday night Winchester i with a string of 10 victories and no trimmings will come here to play the Curtismen. The game I should be a dandy, and Coach CurItis is keying his squad with his i eye on number three in a row. —oOo— Bill Bryan, Kirkland coach, dug I up some fine sentiment for a Christinas card for his Kangaroos. Without permission but because we believe every basketball player and ; far. would like to read the lines we’re printing them: "In the battle that goes on through life. I Ask but a field that is fair, IA chance that is equal with all in the strife, A courage to strive and to dare; , And if 1 should win. t let it be by the code | With my faith and my honor held I high; And if I should lose, help me stand by the road And cheer as the winners go by.” One of the boys around Decatur who actually knows his basketball, reminded Basketbawls last night that the Fort Wayne sports writers were all wet when they stated the DeI- catur victory over North Side was an upset. He showed the figures which reveal that of the five games between the two schools in five years, Decatur has won ail five. So it wasn't an upset—it was a : set-up as most of Bills coached teams are. The Kirkland high school girls beat Pleasant Mills girls Saturday night at Kirkland by a score of 18-6 and the Second team reserves at Kirkland beat Pleasant Mills second team by a count of 40-7. The Yellow Jackets appear to have hit their stride—it was a long time coming and it doesn't mean Decatur is going the rest of the way without getting beat—but we're banking on this team by tourney time. BEAT KIRKLAND, COMMODORES. | Congratulations are due Bob

BEARDED STARS HERE TONIGHT The House of David basketball team, whiskers and all, will play the Decatur Cloverleaf basketball team at Decatur high school gymnasium at 8 o’clock tonight. Admission will be 35 cents for adults. There will be no preliminary game. Because of the clamor for tickets for tonight’s spectacle the doors of the gymnasium will be opened at 7 o'clock, an hour befoie the game time. No seats will be reserved and those arriving first will get the choice of tickets. The bearded team has a great record for the last three years and I this season has won a big percentage of its games. Every player on the team is a member of the famous religious cult at Benton Harbor. Michigan and every player is an individual net star. The team travels in a bus and is making a three-inonth tour of the middlewest playing the best independent basketball clubs in every state. Sport fans here believe the local team has a good chance of winning. Bob Hill. Cloverleaf manager said | that Gerber would start at center. | ! Horton and Gass will play forward ' positions for the locals and Deßolt j and either Mylott or Steel will play I guard posts. Mylott is suffering'! from from a knee injury and it is'! not known whether he will be able : to start. IManager Hill said that he also , would depend a lot on his reserve strength.

COMMODORES PLAY KIRKLAND Decatur Catholic high school Commodores will journey to Kirkland tonight for a game with the fast travelling Kangaroos. The two reserve teams will play the preliminary at 7:30 o’clock ami the big game will start at 8:30 o’clock. Coach Bill B.yan, of the Kangaroos. said Monday night that a section of 75 seats had been reserved i for Decatur fans, so those who have not yet secured tickets can I be assurred of seats by applying at ! the gymnasium tonight. The game should be clr-s,, with the outcome in doubt until the finish. The Commodores have turned in several good games this seai son and have an excellent chance to add another victory. On the other hand, Kirkland has defeated New (Haven and Berne recently and the Kangaroos are out looking for more honors. A number ol Decatur fans are planning on attending the game, and the Commodores are keys for the situation, believing that if Kirkland is disposed of at Kirkland, they will have a just claim to county net honors. Coach Laurent said that his players are in ai.ly good condition for the contest and that tor once all his men are eligible. Kirkland gymnasium is located six miles west of Decatur. ♦ - — -4 DON’T QUOTE ME ♦ (U.R) ♦ Washington, Dec. 22. — (U.R) — Somebody somewhere is toiling over scales and drawing boards, making a map of the world on a scale of one millionth—that is, one millionth the size of the world itsself. Probably no one would realize that, except a few scientists and cartographers, were it not for the fact that there appears In Uncle Sam’s budget of the 1933 fiscal year, an item appropriating SSO toward the noble cause. The SSO to "the Central Bureau of the international Map of the World on a Millionth Scale”. Address not given. The United States government has jails in "the former Ottoman I Empire,” Egypt, Thiopia, China,* Morocco and Persia. It costs $9.600 a year to maintain them. They I are result of extra-territorial rights ( in those countries, which give United States citizens the privilege of being incarcerated in American I jails and of being tried by Amer-| lean courts. One hears a lot about the public debt these days. Only yesterday Otto Kahn suggested it would be fine to drop a large portion of it into th-- middle of the ocean. What! a nuisaifce it is may be imagined when oifc learns it will cost the government $2,450,000 next year to take care of it—that is, just tfle “overhead” of caring for it. Os that amount all but $25,000 will go to clerical and similar help in keeping track of the money that's owed. Then $245,000 additional will be spent for paper on which to print paper money and bonds. For preparation and delivery of farm loan bonds alone the government will spend $45,777. It costs the post office department $1 340,000 to have its postage stamps printed for a single year. After quite an absence from the public prints, the modern-youth question his popped up again on Capitol Hill. This time the complaint comes from the scholarly halls of the library of congress.

"They even ask for the reviews and criticisms that were published when the books came out,” he said, "rather than read the books themselves. Any kind of a synopsis will do, just so they can get an idea of what the book is about.” "There ought to be quite a demand for Lamb's Tales from 'Shakespeare,” commented the in- ( terviewer. , “Even that is too long for them," j the librarian retorted.

Johnson quoted a declaration of representatives of Great Britain, i North Ireland, Belgium, Italy Jpd I Japan in which they said they hau j wanted the complete suspension of debts provided by the original moratorium proposal, but accepted the Franco-American agreement of July 6 “in order to achieve unanimity. although it has the effect-of imposing a substantial additional burden of Germany from 1933 on.” "It is plain," said Johnson, “that no one imagined they were dealing with the original proposal, but with a new plan, a new ideal.
