The Hawkeyes' rookies are Bush Lamb, 160, Newton, la., and Dick Bowlin, 165, Chit ago. They Tiave been sharing the quarterback job but Bowlin also has played the other backfield positions because of his i i ability as a blocker. Lambs is ' considered a smart field general as well as a shifty runner. Purdue's two first year stars are I ■ Cecil label. 184, Houston. Texas. ■ and Tom McGannon, 178, Evans- > ville.

BASKET--1 BAWL herewith makes its bow ■ for the 1925-36 season. 000 Basketbull Is Indiana's favorite 1 sport. More than 800 high schools in the state annually play sehed- * ules ranging from 15 to 25 or 30 ‘ games. Add to this the second teams, girl teams, grade teams, independent and semi-pro teams and you will get an idea of the ' thousands of Hoosiers who par- ' tlcipate actively in the sport, not taking into consideration the him--1 deeds of thousands of fans who get one of their biggest kicks in life frofn watching the boys 'try' to put the ball through the hoop. 000 A word of caution to the fans. With several important changes in the rules this season, don't l give vent to your displeasure ttn- | til you are sure you know the I rule*. BASKETBAWL will, from j time to time, point out the changes made this year. 000 Decatur fans will be given their first glimpse of the sport Friday night. when the Commodores meet St. Andrew's of Richmond I on the local floor. 000 With veteran material available i for every position. Commodore fans are looking forward to i> i successful season. Only two first- [ string men. Jim Ixiee and Dutch Ba.ker. were lost from last year's I squad. Three of the men remain- ; ing. Braden. Murphy and Don Hess, have had three years experi ienee and Coach Laurent is ex- ‘ pected to mold a powerful quintet | around these veterans. 000 i As a preliminary game Friday nignt, the Commodore seconds will play Precious Blood Commercial of Fort Wayne. 000 County schools have scheduled five games for Friday night. These contests are: Kirkland at Berne; Monroe vs Geneva at the Hartford gym; Pleasant Mills at Monmouth; Jefferson at Jackson and Hartford at Bryant. 000 The Decatur Yellow Jackets will be the last in the county to swing into action, meeting the New Haven Bulldogs at the local gymnasium Friday. November 22. The team will be under tne direction of Hugh Andrews this season, | the Yellow Jacket football mentor succeeding Herb Curtis. who 1 piloted the local team for many ! seasons. 000 The Berne Bears, last year winners of the Bluffton sectional and Fort Wayne regional, have started the present season with a bang, scoring easy victories over Mon- | roe and Woodburn. 000 The most disappointing team in ' the county to date has been th» Kirkland Kangaroos. Year after year one of the strongest in the county, the Kangaroos have taken off on the wrong foot this season. After copping the opening tilt from Poling, Kirkland has lost to Hartford and Rockcreek of Wells However, Coach Wayne
