Yellow Jackets Defeat Winchester In Great Basketball Gama

DECATUR WINS 2HBCONTEST AT LOCAL GYM Game Closely Contested Throughout; All Players In Scrap Decatur high school Yellow Jackets basketball team pounced on an undefeated Win-! Chester Yellow Jacket aggregation at Decatur high school i gymnasium last night and sent the Randolph county net-1 men heme on the short end of! a 21-18 count. Decatur won only a iter the' hardest kind of a hard scrap,' and the three-point victory is about the margin of difference between ' the two teams. Both quintets showed they had been well-coached and ' last night’s game was certainly a I great Christmas present for both | coaches. Neither team ever led more than four points and Decatur held a . scant single point lead most of the game. Hiatt, big 6-foot-4 center on the visiting team was a tower of strength both on defense and offense and constantly was worrying the Decatur team by slipping in a : goal to tie the count on three different occasions. For Decatur. Ogg. Feazel. Buffettbarger. Hill and Gay were the outstanding and only players. Each man played his position almost perfectly and the Curtismen showed more power and smartness than in any game this season. (Both teams played a deliberate 1 game, watching for any semblance of a break which might award a point or twd. The game became' rough during the last quarter, due largely to the lack of control which one of the officials had over the! contest. The game started with each team missing a shot at the basket from the field. Ogg counted first for Decatur and Feazel sank one! to make the count 4-4 just before j the quarter ended. The second quarter was close and both teams opened more oftense. The half way count was 11 for Decatur and 10 for Winchester. 1

The count I was tied three times during the I third quarter an 1 as the quarter I | closed the score was 15 for Deca-1 !tur and 14 for Winchester. For a second in the final quarter:' 'the count was knotted at 15-all. but at this point the Curtismen puiled ! away to a 4-point lead, the biggest ■ 1 of ihe game. Winchester's scrappy forwards fought valiantly to even | | the count at the close of the game.' It was a great game from first to I ] last.

Dh ’ >,,\y 8 That was a great game last night —Decatur and Winchester. Neither team had a decided edge—lt was a case of two good coaches and two good teams scrapping it out. —oOo — Every Yellow Jacket player showed the home-town fans just why he was a regular. —oOo— No we’re not going to say what you think—about the officials who get experts’ salaries to come down here. —oOo — HERE’S WISHING EVERYONE A MERRY CHRISTMAS. Don’t forget the Washington Catholic-Commodore game next Monday night. The southern Indiana team is one of the outstanding teams of the state and after the game we'll have a general idea just how far the Commodores can expect to go in state Catholic circles. —oOo — The Commodores are showing a i lot of improvement — They’ve i fought against a lot of odds—-in-eligibilities — sickness and other | things—but they’ve come out smilI ing and are ready for the Washington game. —oOo— The Kirkiand Whippets will play the Wheatley Center allstar negro team of Fort Wayne next Wednesday night at Kirklan. Pictures of some of the colored players will appear in the Saturday Daily Democrat. The game should be well worth the 25 cents. —oOo— BEAT WASHINGTON. —oOo— MERRY CHRISTMAS. o Well Goes Far Down The deepest well that has yet been dug is about a mile -tn<? threequarters deep
