Monmouth EaalpQ Unset Kirkland To Win Adams County Tw

HAGGARDMEN ANNEX TITLE IN FINAL TILT Kirkland Loses 26-20 In One-Sided Scrap; Larne Crowds See Tourney Monmouth high school Eagles are county basketball champions. The title was well-deserved and was earned after the Haggardmen went through the annual Adams county net tour-i ney at Berne Friday and Sat-| urdav, undefeated, and gave Kirkland Kangaroos, big favorites. ft lacing in the final game Batnrda* night. 2S-20. The Hagies played faultless has-iß-tball through the three games in which they disposed of Monroe., Jefferson and Kirkland. Kirkland went to the tinals by j beating Pleasant Milks and Berne. The Kangaroos were no match for Monmouth Saturday night and nev- ■ <r led during the final contest. The' Bryantnen did. however, tie the, score just as the first half ended. I Brokaw. Eagle center was the I outstanding offensive player of the) final game. He scored live field I goals for a total o 10 points for the winners. Adler, Kirkland guard was best for the losers and . accounted for sis of his team s; points. The Eagles, apparently in perfect Icondition for the final scrap, wont into an early lead. Kirkland staged a great uphill fight in the first half and shortly before the rest period arrived, the losers knotted the count at 11-11. The Monmouth team, playing for the first time since the founding of the school in a final tourney, showed its superiority at least as a tournament team in the third -qiiarter. which ended 22-11 for the Eagles. The final quarter was a quiet affair. and Monmouth retained pass-, ession of the ball long enough to make it impossible for the Kangar(MM* tO Will. A big crowd attended the final session and cheered the underdogs on to victory. AH who witnessed the final scrap were of the opinion that Monmouth deserved to win. Tlie Eagles have been underrat'd all season. They have a big. I veteran team and ail during the' tournament sent chills into coaches | ot the other teams who had regard-j i d them as a set-up. Every man on the Monmouth learn played creditable baskctbill. . lid never once did the Eagles feel that they could let down. Big crowds attended the tourna-, merit and all eight of the teams en- | fi-risi were regarded as above the average foi northern Indiana.

Harvey Haggard. Monmouth -oach, was in a couple of weeks "go and said "Look out for Moomouth”. And Basketbawls sort of smiled uid said to himself, another basketball coach has gone cuckoo on iiis own team —but evidently Harve knows more about county basket - ball than does Basketbawls — Thia Monmouth coach deserves a flock of credit—For a couple of years the Eagles had nothing— Harve didn't care because every team in this end of the state figur-

Kirkland holds a narrow margin win over the Laurentmen —and the Commodores will be out to avenge | the earlier defeat. DECATUR HIGH SCHOOL YELLOW JACKETS will meet the| Bluffton Tigers here Friday night: in a conference tilt. Decatur beat the Parlor City boys at Bluffton some few weeks ago — but since then the Wells county lads have I been doing strange things. The game will be a dandy—aid we hesitate to pred st the outcome I —because Bluffton ca" rise to supreme heights against Decatur. However, the Yellow Jackets) are stinging fiom the two whippings awarded them Friday and S itnrd.iy-and they may unfold the’r henvv guns against th-'i Sa tui banites—which would he toO) bad— On the other hard if Decatur is! ■ontent to plav along on even I terms during the game next Fri-I lay. our guess is that the Parlor! Citv tes might make a garrison finish that would bo almost fatal, j Berne goes to New Haven Fri-J lev n qht and New Haven comes to Kirkland Saturday night — It : probably will be a split — with ’ New Haven beating Berne and, | losing to Kirkland. The Commodores go to (VHn.il for a scrap with Celina high I school, and the Lanrentmon should win by a comfortable margin. | MONMOCTH, Adams county net eliamnions, get a well des<-rv| ed rest this coming weekend. The Haggardmen can celebrate. | — Now we can say. byway of j proven record, that Allen county gets the two best Adams county ‘earns for the sect oral and Wells county gets what’s left.
