SOUTH BEND AND DECATUR TEAMS RECORDS GIVEN Sports Writer Picks Commodores As One Os Favorites (Editor’s note: This is the third of a eorlw of short articles <lix< DM* Ina teams entered In the annual state Catholic high school banketI,all tournament, to be held in central pirtlif school gymnasium. Fort Wayne. Saturday and Sunday. Feb. L'9 and March 1. St. Hedwige of South Bend Decatur Catholic wiH !«■ diccuesesl today!. By Jack GurweL (Unit d Preece Staff Correspondent) Fort Wayne, Ind.. Feb. 27 —(t’P) —Another former champion, Decatur Catholic high, and perhaps the youngest school to enter the tournatn nt. St. Hedwige of South Bend will take the floor in seeking the elate . arochial high uclrool basketball c-’hampiorwhip here next weekend. The Decatur Commodores won the state crown in 1930, defeating Jasper academy, Jastper, Ind., St. Hedwige. on the other hand, enter-j ed the tournament for the first time last year to be eliminated in the first game .by St. Mary’s of Huntington. Decatur Catholic, with an out-! standing record of 17 victories against only 4 defeats, is a high scor-1 ing quintet. Six of the gamete won wer? by scores of 40ipoints or more. The defeats were by C. C. H- S. of Fort Wayne, C. C. 11. S. of Hammond. Celina, 0.. and St. Mary's; ot Anderson. An abundance of veterans has been chief cause for Decatur’s good record. Six seniors, Boys who have played together for three years, bear the firunt of the commodore attack. Braden and Murphy have been first string regulars for four years. Other seniors are Daniels. Hess, Wolpert an ( | W. Baker. Junior members of the squad are Hain and Trickeer. R. Hess and A- Baker are Freshman members of the team. Presenting a well balanced attack which has no individual high scorer, the Commodores have scoring punch in Murphy, D- Hess, Hain and Taker. This quartet split scoring honors for the past season. If a favorite should be named, Decatur Catholic would probably get the nod. St. Hedwige of South Bend, here for its second state tournament, | brings a record of six wins rnd four losses- A young school —St. Hedwige is in its seventh year of existence —<It has to date been hampered in a basketball way by lack < f fa ilities. H. Harnocha, a senior guard, and only veteran left over from last season, is the sparkplug of St Hed- . wige's play. Delinski, forward, is the high scorer for the season. South Bend school has defeated Plymouth, 35-18; Washington. 34-18
