Date for the second game, to b- played at the Catholic high school gym, will be announced later. I —oOo — The crowd, which filled the public high school gym to capacity, surely must have been gratifying to the coaches of the two teams, Rob Wemhoff of St. Joe and Steve Everhart of Central. These men devote a great deal of time to these boys, serving without pay, and aredeserving of great credit for their : efforts. For it must be remember- . ed. these boys out there playing last night, are future hopes for Yellow Jacket and Commodore ' teams in the years to come. —oOo— Deg pardon. Bearkatz.

f Below is printed another in the series of articles t-'M being written for the Decatur Daily Democrat by s Bant ‘T<>ny" Hinkle, athletic director and head basketball coach at Butler University. These articles will appear each week during the basketha’l SPa “ on and will deal principally with Indiana high school basketball.

The good old hardwood game which we in Hoosierland consider our own pet is going abroad in 1936 and will make its debut in the Olympic games in Germany.. The announcement undoubtedly came as a surprise to many people who thcutJ t that the pastime of hurling a ball through a suspended hoop was unknown to foreign countries. However, Forrest Allen, net mentor at Kansas University, who was appointed chairman of a committee to propose the adoption of bas-1 ketball by tlie Olympic, committee has announced that almost thirtynations will be represented in the basketball playoff. The rules and the styles of play in other countries are almost identical to the game as played in the United States. One of the more remote corners | of the world where 'a fan wouldl not expect to find the game is the Orient. I was surprised in 1920, when as a member of the Univer-' si ty of Chicago baseball team | which was touring Japan, to find basketball being played there on' outdoor courts. It so liappened j that five of the Chicago basketball regulars were on the baseball team. Halladay, Crisler, Vollmer, Curtis, and myself were taken by the basketball fever and were so glad to again see the American

sport that we challenged one of i the leading teams and defeated it in both games played by large 1 marg’rfT. Os course that was fourteen! years ago, and the game in foreign nations may have progressed rapidly in that time. However, I believe that the U. S. will dominate the Olympic tournament in 1936. American colleges usually have trouble triumphing over Canadian rivals.. A team of Mexico all stars I which has toured this country during the past few years has never presented a really threatening team. Nearly every country in South America has taken the hardwood game seriously and attempts have been made to schedule one of our best amateur teams for a barnI storming trip. So, it is evident I | that our game has become inter-1 1 national in scope and some day i we may have trouble maintaining 'our prestige. I do not know yet how the United States quintet will be determined.. One of two methods will I probably be used. Either a com- | mlttee will select the ten outstanding amateur players and drill them into a team, or one of the nation’s ! leading teams will be chosen as a ' representative. And so, until next week, yours for better basketball.

OPERATION ON OUTLAW TOLD Government Reveals Dillinger Nearly Died During Operation Chicago. Jan. 9. (U.Rj John Dillinger. attempting to evade arrest by means of plastic survery, almost died while two surgeons were performing an operation on his face in a Chicago hideaway, the government revealed today in the trial of Louis P. Piquett, the outlaw's attorney. Piquett. Conner Chicago prosecutor, is on trial on charges that he served as the "master mind ' of the Dillinger gang. J. Bernard Woll. assistant attorney general, described to the federal court jury in the government's opening statement how Dillinger allegedly turned over ss,two to Piquett last May—two months before Dillinger was slain by federal agents —for the face-lifting operation. I "The operation was performed 1 i n the home of James Probasco on the night of May 28 while federal authorities, police and other law .enforcement officers of the nation ■ were hunting for this terrorist.' ! Woll said. Probasco later committed suicide iby jumping from the department |of justice headqquarters on the ninth floor of a loop office building while being questioned about his connection with Dillinger. i "Two doctors. Dr. Wilhelm Ijoeser and Dr. Harold Bernard CassI idy, performed the operation on ■ Dillinger's face and also seared i the tips of his fingers in an effort to thwart attempts at finger print identification.” Woll continued. "Dr. Looser asked Dillinger what he had eaten that day and the outlaw replied tltat he had eaten lightly, so the operation proceed ed. ‘‘Dillinger stripped and lay down on the bed in the rear room of that small weather beaten house on Crawford avenue. He had no fears. "Dr. Cassidy was pouring ether on a mask over his nose. Suddenly Dillinger turned blue, there was a rattle in his throat and he stopped breathing. ‘D'r. Cassidy yelled out to Dr. Loeser that 'this man's dying'.'' "it appears that Dillinger had not only gotten too much ether but had swallowed his tongue. A pair of forceps were used to get his tongue out of his throat and the doctors worked over hint frantically for several minutes before they were sure that he would not die.”
