Ar.dr-wij main a short bilk In ’ which he thanked the squad for its ■ cooperation aud team play. He i also stated he was "glad to lose I this chicken dinner to such a tine i bunch of boys." Andrews had prom- ' ised a chicken dinner to the team ,if it won five games. He admitted iin Hie beginning of his talk that I the schedule arranged, including | all four Fort Wayne teams, made his bet look good. i Andrews also [aid considerable icredit to the second and third I stringers, who he said, "take un-1 hold torture aiffl punishment, in] order to furnish cannon fodder for the varsity. Without th m most of our victories would have been' ' impossible.” , Dr- Burt Mangold, the toast- ■ master, introduced the other speak-1 I ers for the evening. Mayor George i Krick said. "Decatur is proud of I its boys and girls—more proud than ever since this victorious] season. You fellows on the foot-] ball team have done as much in the last few months to put Decatur I ion the map as all the prosperous I industries.” ] VV . Guy Brown, principal of the, Decatur high school, Pete Reyn-1 i olds, sports editor of the Decotur 'Daily Democrat. Walter J Krick. new superintendent of the Decatur j schools, were called upon for twominute speeches All praised the team for overcoming its "suicide”] schedule. A lot of good natured kidding i was then indulged in as the 19th I century teams and the team of '34 i verbally fought for the mythical ] all-time championship of the school. Elmer Schultz flung the chaiJ lenge to the older "boys". Schultz stated that this year's team had a ,line so strong that only one point after touchdown was scored against lit. In addition it met all four foot-; i ball teams of Fort Wayne, defeating two and tying the others, a feat never before accomplished by ]an outside school. The older fellows were lured' into the argument Those who spoke were: Dr. Roy Archbold, team of '9l: Charles Peterson, team iof '94; Earl Adams, manager of the first Decatur team, the squad of '94; Harve Scholl, team of '9B, I Cal Peterson, team of '9B, and Herman Myers, team of TB. Among the obstacles brought l ! forward by the older fellows were J the opposition of the faculty, school ‘ . board, townspeople and parents to 1 the game which was "too rough and took time which could be better used in working and studying." "No man ever amounted to anything who played football." said a teacher in the local school in 1894. TIT? team had so furnish its own I equipment and pay for its own I road trips. Th a team of 194 had never seen a football game, until : it played Portland and was saved I frofn a total route by darkness, the game ending 64 to 0 in favor of I • Portland Portland, incidentally, ] 'loaned Decatur a player when the j

local team used up its one suhsti- . t tit e. | Herb Curtis closed the program | by congratulating the team and I reading a letter from Ben Tenney, sports editor of the News Sentinel, I who was unable U> attend. Curtis I especially commended the seniors, 'lie stated that Conrad has Iwen ■ mentioned for the all state high t school football team. Conrad is a i senior and a guard. Tenney wrote, "I believe that ' Decatur's success on the football I ] field this fall is one of the finest ' things that has occurred in this ■ neck of the woods for many a : season I feel confident that the . ] Jackets showed these smaller ■ schools that Fort Wayne elevens | I can be defeated and that the inter- | est thus arounsed -should make the Northeastern conference games more interesting each fall." BERNE DEFEATS NEW HAVEN FIVE Bears Score Sixth Consecutive Win Tuesday Night, 41 To 29 The Berne Bears, defeating the I New Haven Bwlldogs 41 to 29 Tuesday night at Berne, chalked i up their sixth straight win of the season without a defeat. Berne j led at the half. 17 to 11. Felber continued his high scor1 ing with six field goals and a free throw for a total of 13 points. Steiner hit four times from the ! field and twice from the foul line , for io points. Butler led NewHaven with three fielders and four charity points. In the preliminary game, the ' Berne reserves defeated the NewHaven seconds, 21 to 17.

tenth consecutive triumph. 000 One game is scheduled in the county tonight. The Geneva Cardinals will play the Kirkland Kangaroos at Kirkland. 000 Friday night the Decatur Yellow Jackets will be ounning for their third straight win. Winamac, the powerhouse of the 1932 state final tourney, will appear on the local floor. This will be the first real test of the season for Herb Curtis’ quintet. 000 Three other games are on tap for Friday night. The Monmouth varsity will play the Yellow Jack-' et reserves as a preliminary to ] the Winamac game. Kirkland ■ will play at Lancaster in Wells ■ county and Geneva and Monroe will play at Kirkland. 000 The Kirkland Kangaroos will engage in their third game of the] week Saturday night, entertaining ; the Monroe Eearkatz at the Kirk-1 land gym. This is the only game ■ carded for Saturday night. 000 Fitting tribute was paid to the 1934 Yellow Jacket football team at a banquet Tuesday evening. I The Jackets were praised by num- j erous speakers for their splendid play during the season, which not , only gave them an unblemished record of six victories and two I scoreless ties, but also brought to Decatur, for the first time, the football championship of the Northeastern Indiana Conference. 000 It was with a feeling of deep satisfaction that Basketbawl heard the announcement made last night that the Decatur high school athletic field will be named WORTHMAN FIELD. 000 No greater honor could come to ‘ local athletes than to battle for Decatur high school on soil dedi- 1 cated to the memory of Martin F. Worthman. 000 ■While we knew "Mart” for only too few years, we learned to love ; and respect him in that comparatively short time. Probably no one man has ever accomplished so much for the boys (and the girls) f Decatur in athletics as well as in every other line of endeavor. 000 It is our sincere wish that when the proper time comes for dedicatory ceremonies for WORTHMAN FIELD that the entire city and community aid in making the dedication one of the most impressive ever held here.

All relief, with the exception of the state odd age pension, is administered through Coy’s office. The federal government supplies money to finance made work programs and disburses surplus commodities such as foodstuffs and cotton used in manufacture of mattresses at government-operat-ed factories. Coy does not anticipate any appreciable reduction in the amount of federal aid. despite rumors to the contrary. Local taxes and state funds make up the remainder of the money necessary to operate a relief program which includes made work and free distribution of food, clothing, housing, healing, medical aid and other ordinary necessities of life. As evidence that the state still intends to do its part. Coy pointied out that during one of the most heated political campaigns in Indiana history, administration

I leaders demanded that local tax : budgets include sufficient funds for unemployment relief. Complimented by federal officials for its ready cooperation with all relief programs, the Indi-: ana commission is fully under the . supervision of C y, a young for-1 dipt newspaper publisher and close friend of Gov. Paul V. Me-; Nutt. Slight of frame, quiet spoken, ’ immaculate and seldom ruffled. Coy works long hours in direction of his department. He travels extensively in administration of his office, visiting Washington frequently, and counts 1 Hopkins and secretary of interior Harry Ickes as two of his close i personal friends. ~— o— Jefferson Wins Overtime Battle The Jefferson Warriors nosed out ' , a ’3-20 victory over the Hartford : township Gorillas at the Hartford! i gvm Tuesday night.
