DECATUR A. C.’S TROUNCE OHIO TEAM, 45-17 DeHance Fails To Provide Any Opposition To Local Quintet Failing miserably to live up to advance notices, the hide-! re’dent team from Defiance, Ohio, was soundly trounced! by the Decatur A. C.’s at D. H. S. gym Thursday night. 45 to 17. Decatur led at the half. 14 to 4. The visiting outfit failed to show little basketball skill. The first quarter started slow, willi the two teams tied at 2-2. The A. C.’s got started in the second quarter and had a ten-point lead when the half ended. The A. C.’s scored just about as they pleased during the last half and could have defeated Defiance by a much larger margin. Every member of the team saw action for • at least half of the game. Bill Gass was high point man of tin' game with five tield goals and a free throw for 11 points. He was closely followed by Tiny Horton, who connected four times from the field and twice from the free throw line for 10 points. Steele tallied eight points and Engle seven. All the Defiance scoring was done! by the four forwards the visitors used. Moore was the leader with throe field goals, all scored during the second half. Flory registered two field goals and a foul toss. ; Win Preliminary The Decatur girls team scored a fairly easy victory over the Willshire girls in the preliminary game.

SPEED — and more speed! That’s the watchword of the modern era. Speedboats, racing cars and airplanes attaining the greatest speed in history on sea. land and in the air. The fastest speed ever reached by human beings is of course the airplane record set last year in the National Air Races at Cleveland t>y Major James Doolittle of the united States. His time, supplanting the record held by the French Army flyer Bonnet, was 473.8 kil.--approximately FIVE MILES A MINUTE! Last year also saw new speed marks set up on land and sea, when Sir Malcolm Campbell attained the amazing speed of 253.96 miles per hour in his racing car at Daytona Beach, Fla., and when Gar Wood.

the gaunt silver-haired speedboat king, made 124.86 miles per hour in his boat Miss America X. I The new year will barely have gotten under way when one of these new speed marks will suffer a fresh assault. Sometime next month at Daytona Sir Malcolm Campbell, the smiling English daredevil whose hobby is the most dangerous sport in the world—breaking auto speed records—will take another crack at the mark which he hung up last year in his Blue Bird racing car. The genial Sir Malcolm says that his rebuilt Blue Bird car will have 1.400 more horsepower than in 1932, and he predicts that this time he will exceed 275 miles per hour on the racing strip at the Florida beach. His ultimate goal is 300 miles an hour -airplane meed! For three of the years since 1927 Campbell has held the auto speed

FRANKIE JARR TO MEET HOOK Return Match Will Be Hehl At Shrine Auditorium Monday Night That return match between I Frankie Jarr, the champion, and j Henry Hook, former title bidder. I which fight fans of Indiana have been waiting for. has been definitely closed at last. The two will meet for the state bantamweight championship on Monday night. January 30, al the Shrine auditorium in Fort Wayne. The bout will be prompted by George Biemer. Jarr will be defending the title j which he won from Hook late last I summer. Hook and his supporters were ; never satisfied with that bout. Jarr won the verdict by a fair enough margin but Hook had several reasons for not making a better fight of it. In the first place he went into the bout with a bad knee. And then along about the | middle of the bout he claimed to I have been struck low by Jarr. I Hook came back to Fort Wayne later to meet Ernie Maurer in an indoor bout at the G. E. club. Hook looked great against Maurer, a fighter of recognized ability and although the official verdict was a draw, the majority were of the opinion that Hook had it over the Michigan champion. On the strength of that tight, there are many who are featuring the opinion that Hook will regain the title when he meets Jarr. even though they concede that Frankie has plenty of class. Four other bouts will support the Jarr-Hook title match. Prices have been arranged to make it possible for every fan in this section to witness this champ- ! ionship battle. Ringside SI.SO, one [ thousand seats at $1.20. and general admission 44c. A special price have been arranged for the lady i fans. 51c. giving them the best reserved seats. All prices include State and Federal tax. 0i Get the Habit — Trade a, Home

record. In 1928 he broke Major Segrave’s mark of 203 miles per hour, and later in the same year he saw his new mark smashed by Ray Keech, Philadelphia speed demon. In 1929 Major Segrave recaptured the title of speed king by breaking Keech’s mark, and in 1931 Campbell shattered Segrave’s record. Since that time Sir Malcolm has reigned supreme, breaking his own record when he attained that astounding 253 m.p.h. last year. Incidentally Keech and Segrave were both killed during speed attempts. As regards this ever present shadow of death which hovers over each attempt at speed racing. Major Campbell merely smiles and shrugs his shoulders. His attitude is that of the fatalist, and he remains unworried by the menacing figure of the grim reaper. CwW, 1»M. Ul FMtvrM Srndlots. IM

WHILE blond Craig Wood, the sensational Jersey pro, has been burning up the California courses, the tournament season in Florida has also produced a brilliant young golf star in Johnny Revolta, the 21-year-old Michigan kid who won the Miami Open and finished second to DennyShute in the rich Miami Biltmore tourney. Both Wood and Revolta flashed into stardom almost overnight, when their remarkable shooting in recent winter tourneys completely overshadowed the play of such links giants as Sarazen, Dutra, Hagen, Diegel, Burke and others. Wood is a tall, good-looking fellow. with light curly hair and the build of a heavyweight boxer. Revolta is also a tall chap, but there the physical resemblance between them ends. Michigan Johnny is gaunt and rawboned, and a shaggy mop of raven black hair tops his determined, square jawed countenance. His face always wears a seriotu expression, and down at

nal 278 for 72 holes to earn the top spot in the Miami Open, finishing four strokes ahead of Denny Shute, his nearest rival. Smart linksmen who have teen the Michigan Meteor play say that he is no flash in the pan. As shrewd a judge of golfers as Walter Hagen has tabbed Revolta as the greatest golfing prospect to come into prominence since the sensational rise of Horton Smith several winters ago. According to Hagen, Revolts has all the qualities that go to make up a great golfer. He has all the shots —plus a great golfing temperament. He is cool and deliberate on the links, and his nerves seem to be made of steel. He isn’t the worrying type and he plan's each shot as it comes. The severe tension of b>s time tournament golf doesn’t seem to bother Revolta in the least. With a temperament like that, Leo Diegel would be unbeatable! Meanwhile, the folks out at Menominee, Mich., where Johnny comes from, are rooting for Revolts to win the National Open title next June, and if he plays as well at ChiI cago as he did in Florida, he may - do that very thing.
