Yellow Jackets Lose Final Game Os Season Frida

DECATUR FIVE DEFEATED BY KENDALLVILLE Comets Run Wild In Third Quarter To Defeat Yellow Jackets A sharp shooting bunch of Comets from Kendallville upset the Decatur Yellow Jackets in the final home game of the season for the. locals Friday night, .13 to 19. As the old proverbial saying go-I es. “you couldn't have put them ; out witlt the fire department.” The Yellow Jackets held a 1511 lead at the end of the first halt but the locals scored only two points in each ot the last two quarters while the Comets really blazed away fit the basket to pile up an insurmountable lead. Decatur led at the end of the first quarter, 6 to 4. and at the half. 15 to 11. In the third quarter. I the Comets tossed the ball into , the hoop from all angles to take ; u 28 to 17 lead. Itensberger was the leading seor- ■ er tor Kendallville with five field goals for a total of 10 point. Rupp and Brunson each tallied seven points. Decatur's leading scorers were Peterson and Barker with three field goals each. Hurst was next in line with four points. I In the preliminary game, the Decatur seconds scored an easy 34 to 15 over the Kendallville reserves. Decatur FG FT TP Blythe, f 1 0 2 .

-AHOUN D TSE STATEHINKLE tSRb du L ’’*7 Below is printed another in the series of articles z WVJ being written for the Decatur Daily Democrat by »■ Dau 1 “T■•">" Hinkle athletic director and head basketball coach at Butler University. These i ; articles will annear each week during the baake*‘"‘‘SfjMw ha'l season and will deal principally with Indiana high school basketball.

When the current high school hardwood champion has been duly j crowned in the final stage of the i great tourney at the fieldhouse next | month. I believe that basketball: fans will have looked at the center jump tip-off for the last time. Although it is early to consider changes for next year, it seems certain that the elimination of the center jump will be one of the major alterations in the rules for i next season, and fans should be i warned to look eitner with delight \ or disdain on the passing of that method of putting the ball in play.; Not until recently did I take I stock in elimination of the jump as soon as next year. However, when the national coaches association meets in Chicago in April, I am sure that the change will be recomnieuded to the national rules committee and adopted by the latt *r group for the seaso nos 193536. The proposal is not a new one. About five years ago. Sam Barry, coach of the University of Southern California, suggested it and it nearly was adopted at that time. | A controversy over where and how the ball should be put in play was a stumbling block, and the plan was referred to a research commit-, tee.. Since that time, coaches have been experimenting satisfactorily. All the leading colleges on the Pacific coast have been playing this year without a center jump in conference games and are thoroughly

in favor of the new game. It (makes for a faster and elbser j game. I have witnessed only one game nlaved without the center jump, and although it was a race-horse ♦ vne of nlav. with certain modifications I can see how the change, i would improve the game. The of-1 i ffcials in that game did not control 1 ' the ball after each score. The crohable means of putting j i the ball in play, will be for the of-, fldal to dec’are the ball dead as-1 ' ter each field goal or free throw. i : and the team which was "scored | avainst’’ will take possession of the bell out of bounds under the goal which it is defending.. The three factors which brought j . nressure on the elimination of th® lumn are: (1) The ganging and: . nushing around the centers by oth-| . er nlavers t2> the advantage which a ta'l man has in controlling the tin-off (3) the battle of coaches in finding extremely tall men who would enter school. Th® tall man always will have . I an advantage under the basket and ' in nivot play, but this change will i diminish the advantage of a man who is extremely tall but not an, • I especially good player. Looking; j back on other major changes which ! '' at first seemed drastic but really ; I bettered the game, we should not • | mourn the passing of the center I jump which has been a part of bas- • ketball since its inception.

finished message to congress on American shipping which he hopes I to have ready for transmission by Monday or Tuesday. He planned to put finishing touches to the message over the week-end and send it back to Stephen T. Early, his secretary, for presentation to congress. While at Hyde Park he is expected to put into final, shape his message to congress calling for ; greater co-ordination of the nation's transportation facilities. JUDGE ISSUES CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE j tionality of the Tennesse valley act. which created the power authority. In invalidating the specific contract. he held that under the tenth amendment, “the United States has no right within the limits of a ; state to conduct any proprietary business, unless tied to some constitutional grant of power and if the grant of power existed, it car|ried with it the right to do business." Government attorneys contended the authority was selling a ‘ surplus" of power. The power was generated, they said, as a part of the govenment’s navigation and flood control project. Judge Grubb ruled that the power TVA proposed to sell in Alabama was not surplus, but was generated for the primary purpose of sale. . o

THINK HOOVER CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE tfon on issues which he believes to be suitable for the 1936 contest. At best the political reception of the Hoover gold statement was ’ not enthusiastic. Any but a de- ! termined and self-confident etatesi man might be content to leave the ! issue defining burden henceforth to other Republican politicians whose silence or faint praise must have been disappointing when Hoover examined the newspapers to discover the reaction to his . words. Washington hears, however, that Mr. Hoover will not eaeily be turned aside from his purpose. He told friends recently that issues abound on which Republi-

' cans can stand firmly. He believed that out of the discussion of those issues will come the man to challenge IFTanklin D. Rooevelt I next year at the polls. So far ns Hoover's own purpose has been revealed, it is to encourage a frank discussion of issues of that kind. In brief, he has an idea that some frank talk now and henceforth might put some backbone and cohesion into the Republican opposition to the new deal. His gold statement was an announcement that Hoover believes Republicans should retreat no longer but should reform for the charge.

TWO WEEKS OF / CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE As it now stands the bill would give a few distillers the exclusive dight to import liquor from other (states and countries. O'Mara said the bili will Ire changed to give whisky wholesalers and rectifiers the right to import liquor. Other amendments being plannjed would fur:her define road- . houses and night clubs and define ; wine as a beverage having an alI coholic content of less than 20 per : cent. O'?-1ara said. Several billi were introduced in the house lat>> yesterday bringing jto more than 500 the number . which are before the lawer chainI her.

Twenty nine Republicans offerled a measure which would prohibit members of the sta'e legia- ; lature from holding state office. Among bi’ls passed by the house I late yesterday were measures I which would' Fine judges $lO a day for failure to rule on motions and petitions within 90 days. Require the teaching of effects of alcoholic drink on the human body in high schools. Authorize construction of an elementary school on the grounds of the Allen county orphans' home. Fort Wayne. Empower city councils to name superintendents and employes of municipally owned utilities. Dick Archbold visited in Bluffton Ist evening.
