CLOVERLEAFS SMOTHER HOUSE OF DAVID TEAM Local Independents Too Strong For Bewhiskered Net Players — Decatur’s Cloverleaf lias-; ketball team took a weak • House of David team from Benton Harbor, Mich., by surprise Saturday night at Catholic high school gymnasium' and trimmed the visitors by ai score of 96-13. The local team I started their attack in the first i minute and never quit scor-l ing. The visiting team, aside from the. fact that the players appeared in 1 long hair and whiskers was a de-1 tided disappointment to some 200 fans who anticipated a close bat-1 tie. About half the fans left between halves when the score was 38-7. Horton and Gass did a lot of, heavy offensive work for the locals I and Tucker with two field goals | was chief scorer for the be-whisk-j ered players. The manager of the | visiting team passed out House of | David literature between halves of, the game and appeared content I with his team's miserable showing.

HI'W? 11 Coach Herb Curtis and his De- 1 catnr higlt school Yellow Jackets, have some unfinished business to take care of next Friday night, i The net schedule merely says: January 8, Bluffton there. But behind that is a world of I difference between the Friday j game and any other basketball; game. laist year in the regional tourney Decatur lost a hard scrap to; Hie 'Suburbanites and it went down pretty hard because the' Curtismen were by far the favorites —It was one of the few times that Bluffton has been able to beat Decatur in the last five years, i Next Friday the Jackets have a chance to atone for the last string upset. It won't be a very easy job—Bluffton lias a veteran, team back in uniform this season.! The fans of Decatur, however.

| still have a lot of confidence in the Yellow Jackets We've seen ; them, so many times, go over to I Bluffton —and come back with the bhcon —- and we’re banking on | winning the game next Friday. Occasionally overconfidence permits the Parlor City crowd to one of the annual two-game series—but not very often, 11 ! The Commodores will entertain I St. Rose of Lima here next Friday I night. The Ohio team is one of ! the fastest basketball clubs in I the state — The St. Rose-Commo- ' dore games always are tough ones. --and don't forget that St. Rose ' was the first team ever to beat ' the Commodores on their own floor. Here’s the week's schedule fori I Adams county: ' WEDNESDAY NIGHT. JAN. 6 I Berne vs. Commodores at Deca-; tur. FRIDAY NIGHT. JAN. S Berne vs. Jefferson at Berne . Commodores vs. St. Rose of Lima. I at Decatnr Yellow Jackets vs. Buffton at Bluffton : Monmouth vs. Monroe at Monmouth. SATURDAY. JAN. ft I Geneva vs. Petroleum at Hartford j i Kirkland vs. Central Catholic. Ft. I Wavne at Kirkland. — The Wednesday night game should draw a big crowd—Berne and Commodores are fairly evenly matched with the Commodores having a slight advantage. Berne always fights hard against j ; any Decatur team —and look out ! for a hard scrap. i Basketbawls wishes to apologize : for the publicity given the unde- : serving House of David team. The Cloverleaf management and; ! the sports department of the Daily Democrat were misinformed ! concerning the record and ability ' of the bewhiskered team. Manager Bob Hill said today that before another team was scheduled the record would be investigated and verified. I But on the other hand it's going] to take a mighty good basketball j team to trim the Cloevrleafs with their entire lineup on the floor, i — o JEFF LOSES IN OVERTIME I Jefferson township Warriors lost an overtime basketball game to Gray high school netters at , Redkey Saturday night 22-21). The l count was close all the way and ' the winning basket in the over- , time period came in the last 10 1 seconds of play. The count at the half was 11-9 in favor of Gray and at the end > of the regular playing time the I score was 18-18. Miller, Jefferson guard was the star offensive plaver for the Marshmen and Mei Donald, Gray center was the principal scorer for the winners.

BIC TEN NET SEASON OPENS I Chicago. Jan. 4 —(U.R) ~ l.itae I I athletes in multi-colored jersies and shorts will go streaking across gymnasiums at Evanston, Madison and Urbana tonight as the Big Ten basketball race opens with six trains in competition. At the end of what promises to ' be one of the closest races in years the black anil gold I (inner of Purdue should replace the purple and white pennant of Northwestern on the championship mast-head. Eight conference games arc scheduled this week, three tonight ;and five Saturday night as follows: Tonight Wisconsin at Northwestern Indiana at Purdue Ohio State at Illinois Pnrdue, with a veteran team j which tied for second place last I season, is favored to dethrone Northwestern, which has lost two. ; and possible three members of the team which last year won 11 out of 12 games. Riel and Mar- ' shall, two Wildcat stars last year. 1 have graduated, and ('apt. Bob Me- | Carnes, center, has an ankle in- - jury which has prevented him j from seeing much action in i North western's preliminary games. Although Purdue seems to have j the strongest team in the league 'at least four other teams —North-1 | western. Minnesota. Michigan and | Illinois—have championship possibilities. Even Wisconsin. Indiana , and Ohio State have strength to 1 battle their way up among the I leaders. lowa and Chicago apparently are outclassed. Thumb-nail sketches of the I teams follow: Purdue —Last year's squad intact, with Johnny Wooden. allAmerica guard, and Harry Kellar, f U-conference forward, stars of a great team. Undefeated in practice games, piling up 228 points in five games or an average of ■45 3-5 points per game. Northwestern —Seven letter men 1 back, but injury to Ca.pt. McCarnes hnd inability of Bob Lockhart to regain last year's form mav retard Wildcats at start. Won three and lost two practice games, both to Notre Dame. Minnesota — Tied for second place last year. Three members of last year's team gone, but five letter men back. Won all five 1 jpractice games. Team looks like' strong contender. Michigan—New coach in Frank-1 lin Cappon and every member of 1 team which tied Purdue and Minnesota for second place last year lyack. Won three practice games and lost one to Syracuse. First [ division team. Illinois —Tallest squad in conference with 12 players over feet. Six letter men back from team which last first five games and then won seven in a row last year. Won three and lost one. to Butler in practice games. Darkhorse of race. Wisconsin — Five letter men back from team that finished seventh last year. Material considered best Dr. Meanwell has had in several years. Won three and lost one to Marquette in practice games. Indiana —Entire 1931 team back but Hoosiers have failed to live up to promise in practice games. Won two practice games and lost 'two, to Pittsburgh and De Pauw. 1 Hoosiers may be hard .to stop if they start clicking in their first j three games against Purdue. I Northwestern and Illinois. Ohio State—(Squad of big play- ! ers, with excellent sophomore material. Won 3 practice games, and lost one to Vanderbilt, may bid for first division berth. Chicago— Maroons lack height . and class. Five letter men hack. Doomed to second division. Won one and lost three practice games. lowa — Landed in cellar last year and will depend largely on sophomores this year. Won one and lost two practice games. o— Berne Bears Beaten The Berne Bears, weakened by the loss of three regular players, were defeated by the Petroleum high school team in a game played at Berne, Saturday night, 31-17. The Petroleum team led throughout the entire game and the score at the half was 19-13. Coach Erne of Berne did not start his regular lineup, as three regular playe s were on the bench for breaking training rules. This weakened the team and caused them to fall into a slump they were not able to come out of during the entire game. Smith of Berne was the high point man to this team making 9 points. -o 4 Defacement I “It angers me, when enjoying a | book from the public library, to find it defaced by scribbling." writes a 1 correspondent. An old grievance. I About 2 500 years ago a king wrote on his day tablet: "Whoever shall steal this tablet or write bls name on It, may the gods overthrow him | in anger 1"

POSSE CLOSES IN ON KILLERS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ' years ago, and hid safely in the ' hills until Saturday, was reported ] to have been seen, a bloody hand- 1 ago around his head. Officers among tliose who laid | siege to the Young farmhou.-.e were convinced that another of the gang I was wounded before its numbers I escaped through a 300-foot tunnel.' Jennings Young, Harry's lirotli-l er, w.is the second fugitive. With' Hie Youngs was believed to lie Charles Floyd, who has been hunted in connection with four murders. one being that of a prohibition j agent. Back in Springfield, police held six members of the Young family, including Mrs. J. D. Young, 62' mother of Harry and Jennings. The others were two daughters, Venita Young, 21. and Mrs. Albert Conley, one son. Oscar Young, 32, farmer, Oscar's wife, and Albert Conley. Houston. Texas, printer. None, however, was believed to have been in the Young farmhouse during the machine gun battle in which the officers were slain. The two sisters, Venita Young and Mrs. Conley, were arrested Saturday when they tried to sell a stolen automobile, and gave officers tlie information that Harry Young was at home. The police automobile in which the Young gang fled the farmhouse alter crawling through the tunnel was found abandoned yesterday. The killers had left it and taken to foot, it was believed. Once the men were reported surrounded in a cornfield, but when officers and possemen closed in on the area. Hie fugitives were not found. Again they were believed to have been forced to flee .from a farm three miles north ,of Springfield, but this clue likewise proved fruitless. Kansas City police became vigilant in the search when E. L. tJelson. garage owner, identified photo graphs of Harry Young and Floyd as those of two men who had attempted to store an automobile with him Sfinday. It was believed these men may have come to Kansas. Corsicana. Texas, police reported that two men who wrecked an automobile near there fled, leaving a shotgun behind. The machine had been stolen from Bolivar. Mo in the Ozarks. j Oklahoma authorities were alert
