E. I. conference basket- . ball game here last night before the biggest crowd which | has seen a basketball game] in Decatur in two season* Decatur led through the entire game, but the Auburn aggregation threatened on one occasion in the third quarter and came within a single point of knotting the score.it Scoring for Decatur was rather i evenly divided. Buffenbarger and i Gay each collected five points and Ogg, Feazel and Hill each account- i ed for three points. , Trovinger, Auburn forward scor- i ed five points and Williams. I ig: ; cocky Auburn center, scored seven | | points. Williams, who has been | | pt ess agented as northern Indiana's ; biggest threat was held at bay al-1 ( most all the game and on defense L the Curtismen had him sweating!, in mid-floor. On two occasions Williams lost his man and Decatur players would sail under the basket for easy shots. More than 100 Auburn fans fol-1 lowed their team to Decatur. In the preliminary game the Auburn girls defeated Decatur girls by a score of 21-13. In the big game the Yellow Jackets went into an early lead and ran the score to 4-0. The score at the end of the first quarter was 5-4 for Decatur. The Auburn team had a bad second quarter and while the Yellow Jackets were piling their count up to 12 points, the visitors i drove in for a field goal and a free throw making the count at the half. 12-7 for Decatur. The third period almost proved fatal for the Jackets and Auburn, led by Trovinger and Williams ' brought the count up to 14-13 with Decatur still clinging on to a lead. In the period however the Curtismen missed a number of easy short shots and they had possession of the ball a greater part of the eight minutes. Decatur let ’em have it in the I final period and almost made the game a miserable runaway. After getting a comfortable lead early in the quarter, the Yellow Jackets played around. The final score I was 19-13. The victory gave Decatur an 1 undisputed lead in the N. E. I. conference, but the Curtismen still have South Side. Kendallville, Columbia City, Central and Garrett to play in conference tilts. Decatur (19) FG FT TP Ogg. f 113 Buffenbarger, f 13 5!

Levinsky, the battling buffoon from | Chicago's ghetto, today boasted of I victories over both Paulino Vzcudnn and Tommy Loughrin, something no other heavyweight ever has 1 achieved.

Levinsky defeated I.oughran in New York last month. The decision was not unanimous. Referee Phil Collins and one judge voted for Levinsky, and the other judge called the bout a draw. Paulino weighed 200. Ijevinsky 195%. Levinsky apparently won the bout with room to spare because of his rally in the ninth and tenth lounds. lip to the ninth round the bout was devoid of the action in promised to supply. During the I early rounds Levinsky seemed more anxious to clown than to' fight. Paulino mauled and cuffed, and worked on Levinsky in close but did no apparent damage. In the ninth round Levinsky showed a flash of real fighting form.
