The Decatur Commodores are scheduled to meet the Hartford I township Gorillas tonight at the I Commodore gym. Hartford rei places Jefferson, originally achedi tiled but unable to play because i of sickness among members of the team. —i)Oo— The Gorillas won the annual Adams county tourney recently and have compiled an excellent record this season. Hartford apparently has the best team the school has boasted In many seasons. No word had been received at noon today regarding pbstpcnement of the game. Evidently those Hartford boys can take if. Members of the team were among the 200 students marooned all night in the school house, surrounded by deep drifts of snow. —oOo— While the Commies uro playing at home. “ne Yellow Jackets will tackle the Columbia City Eagles at Columbia City In a northeastern Indiana conference engagement. The Jackets have won two conference tilts and lost two and are anxious to get above the 50-50 mark in the conference. —oOo— Basketball activity in this neck of the woods was pretty well snowed under this week. Wednesday night's games between the Commodores and Delphos and Kirkland and Lancaster were postponed because of the traffic snarl. The Commodore-Delphos game will be played here next Wednesday, January 29. —oOo— However, the week did provide two startling upsets, with the Central Tigers of Fort Wayne the victims both times.

Though the little star has been away only a short time, the rumor hounds already have gone to work.

We weren’t split, we were torn, don’t you know I j mean to say she had already been j to Reno." i The new year was not long in brlngin,,’ tragedy to Hollywood. Poor Jack Gilbert! For all his fame, he was a lonely soul. Women loved him but could not live with him Os close men friends, he had very few Howard Strickling, Willis Goldbeck and Cedric Gibbons were among them. Another was Jim Adamson the M. G. M. barber. Even after Jack left the studio. Jim used to go to the actor's house three times a week to shave him. The two had been pals since 1916 when Adamson was the barber at the old Triangle studio and Jack was a half-starved extra. On at least one Christmas day. the man who was to become the great lover of the screen wouldn't have eaten If Jim hadn't invited him out to the house. You Asked Me and I'm Telling You! Mrs. C L.
