Decatur Commodores Win Opening'Game Os Seam

COMMIES SCORE EASY TRIUMPH OVER RICHMOND St Andrew’s Falls Victim To Commodores By 50 To 15 Score Decatur's Commodores got away t< a Hast start in their opening game 07 the season and scored a pitifuHy easy 5015 triumph over St ABtlrew s ot Richmond at the Commodore gymnasium Friday night. Starting slowly, the Commies h-d by only 8-5 at the end of the first Quarter. Pouring the leather through the hoop from all angles in the second quarter, Decatur held a commanding 26-7 marglh at the rewet period. Pat Murphy, veteran guard, was hitting sensationally last night, connecting eight times from out on the floor and five from the foul line for a total ot 21 points. Hruden and Don Hess, other veterans. scored 12 and 10 pWhts. respectively. Art Baker was the only substitute to score, tallying once from the free throw line. St. Andrew s, while presenting a team boasting several veterans, failed miserably to provide the opposition expected by local fans, who remembered Vividly the overtime battle staged by the two quintets last year before the Commodores nosed out a victory. Theree players scored all the points for the losing quintet. Witte tallied six points, R. Carnes five points and Rothert four. No preliminary game was played, as Previous Blood Commercial of Fort Wayne, scheduled to play tthe Commodore seconds, figured in an accident enroute to Decatur and the team was unable to continue the trip.

Despite all the fanfare and enthusiasm current during the present football season, the 1935 undergraduate is less interested in gridiron results than the “old grad” or total outsider. This generation of college student amply illustrates the trends of recent years which have been marked by a decline of interest among students in intercollegiate sports and an increasing concern about educational and cultuial activities. Most recent indication of this was a poll of freshmen at Columbia university, New York City, where 260 of th# 360 first-year men voted in favor of a Phi Beta Kappa key rather than a varsity letter. Intercollegiate football today, conducted on the large scale that it is, haa become an enormous enterprise quite out of the hands of the student body.
