DECATUR A. C.’S DEFEAT CHIEFS HERE THURSDAY Fort Wayne Is Defeated By 22-21 Score In Roush Battle The Decatur A. C.’s nosed out a one-point victory, 22 to 21. over the Ft. Wayne Chiefs at the D. H. S. gym Thursday night. The game was close all the way but was marred by the continual rough play of both teams. The Chiefs disappointed the fans present by failing to present their regular lineup. Ilalph Miller. Evard and Lindenberg failed to put in an appear-1 an.-e, the management of the Chiefs stating that these men were ill and unable to make the trip. Very few points separated the' two teams at any time during the game. At the first quarter, the score was tied at 5-5. The Chiefs led at the half, 13-11. and at the end of the third quarter, 16 to 14. The A. C.’s rallied in the final period, gaining a four-point advantage at 22-18 but the Chiefs cut this margin to open point before the final gun sounded. Ic-catur’s scoring was pretty well divided, Gass leading with three field goals.

a ball game occasionally, but not in large doses as was the case last night. . —oOo—- ■ We are not blaming any par- ■ tieuiar player, nor any particular team Excessive bolding anil pushing his come to be the rule [ rather than the exception in independent basketball and this style of game will never draw satisfactory crowds. I —oOo— We have always felt that the major portion of the blame for 1 | increased roughness in inde--1 . pendent basketball can be trac’l ed to the influence of pro basketball as played in former seasens in Fort Wayne and other cities throughout the • country. —oOo—- ' The larger cities have enough ' fans to whom the ‘wrestling' style , of basketball appeals to draw large ’ crowds in good times but pro ball ' has slipped far back in the last ' three seasons, in fact so far it is ' [almost extinct. —oOo—t i We frankly believe that the blame • I for the roughness in last night’s . i bail game can be laid to the Fort i : Wayne outfit. The Chiefs started , the rough stuff and the Decatur . i boys retaliated. —oOo— However, we will always think that if the A. C.’s had stuck to basketball last night, I the result would have been a decisive victory for Decatur over the Fort Wayne team. —oOo— That little sermon has been on I our chest for a long time and we’re - glad to get rid of it. The Commodores will be out for ' revenge tonight when they enteri tain the Ossian Bears from Wells 'county at the Catholic gym. Ossian i defeated the locals at Ossian early in ’he season by a decisive margin and the Commodores are out to turn the tables. The two second teams will play the preliminary game. oOo — The Decatur Yellow Jackets play jtiieir last road engagement of the season tonight at Garrett, where I they will tackle the up and coming Railroaders in a Northeastern Indiana conference game. Decatur has la chance to finish well up in the

[conference standing with victories| jover Garrett tonight and Kendall-1 I ville next week. r-1 The Commodore reserves will' r me«t the Pleasant Mills varsity at [the Catholic gym Saturday night e The reserves were defeated by ■-■Pleasant Mills a short time ago by »la slender margin and will attempt • Jo even the score Saturday night.
