The Tigers from Central of Fort Wayne proved themselves the class of the Fort Wayne sectional tour ney by trouncing the South Side Aichers in the championship clash Saturday night, 50 to 23. The Decatur Yellow Jackets were eliminated in the first semifinal tilt Saturday afternoon, losing to an inspired South Side team, 37 to 25. Central advanced to the finals by handing the North Side Red skins a 42 to 26 defeat. Central was hard pressed in the first half of both the semi-final tilt but the Tigers’ superior reserve power proved too much for the other Fort Wayne teams to overcome. Union Wins The Bluffton sectional, scene of many upsets, was won by’ Union Center, the Union lads defeating Lancaster Central in the final game. 40 to 30. Favorites in the tourney. Bluflton and Berne, had been upset in previous games, while the Rocki reed and Liberty Center fiives. conquerors of the favored teams, were eliminated in their first starts after upsetting Bluffton and Berne. South Side ’Hot’ South Side s Archers were red hot against the Yellow Jackets, connecting on 41 per cent of their attempts from the field, to score their 12-point victory. The first quarter was nip and tuck, with Decatur holding the lead most of the way. only to have South Side tie the score at 6-6 as the quarter ended. With the score at 14-12. South Side, in the middle of the second period, the Archers turned on and held h 22-12 margin ; as the half ended. South Side increased this margin souewhat in the third quarter, which ended 31 to IS. The Archers tallied another field goal as the fourth quarter opened and were out in front. 33 to IS. Decatur staged a furious rally at this point, a free throw and field goal by Huffman, and fielders by Worth man and Myers bringing the Jackets within eight points at 33-25. However, at this stage of the game. South Side halted the Jacket rally and added four points to make the final score 37 to 25.

London May Ban Horses London —(U.R) —Horse traffic may be barred o:, main routes in central London between 9 a. m and 6 p. m. after March, 1937. An official announcement to fins effect is expected to be made by the ministry of transport within three months. o Monkey Sentenced to Die London—(U.R)—A monkey which. ' among many other accomplishments. can write its name in three languages, but is unfortunately addicted to drink, has been condemned to death at the London sessions. In a drunken rag£ it attacked and injured a boy. __o Needle Transverses Leg Toledo.—(U.R) —A needle pierced 5-year-old Wilma Burger's leg as she slid down the stairs.

I I . Ba k--tball teams of Decatur and Ada. uh county, their seasons concluded witli elimination from tin sectional tourneys last week-end, have put their suits away in Hie mothballs until next year. o()o Fort Wayne's Central Tigers displayed real power to overwhelm all rivals in the Fort Wayne sectional, winning every one of their four games by one-sided and impressive scores. oOo — With upsets recorded in the oth|er three sectionals which send their winners to the Fort Wayne I regional Saturday. Central should have little trouble advancing to the semi-finals at Mumie the following week. —oOo — Defeat of the Berne Bears prob- | ably was the most startling of any upsets in the 64 sectionals. After ! the Bluffton Tigers had been bumped off by Rockcreek, the Bears apparently had clear sailing l'to their second consecutive sectional title. —oOo— But the Bears ran into an inspired Liberty Center team Friday night and went down to a 28-27 defeat. Liberty apparently had no ’inspiration' after downing the Bears as Liberty in turn was eliminated in the semifi-nals. Decatur’s Yeliow Jackets played good ball during the Fort Wayne tourney and quite likely would nave reached the final round had not South Side been decidedly on in the semifinal tilt. Decatur eliminated Elmhurst and New Haven, two of tne stronger Alien county quintets to reach tLe semi-final. —oOo — But attempting to defeat a team tnat registered on 41 per cent of its shots from the field is a difficult task. And many of South Side’s attempts were from wel lout on the floor and from difficult angles. —-000— Both tourn y: in which Adams county teams participated drew great crowds. The spacious North Side gymnasium was filled practically to capacity during every one of th.- :-ix sessions, with the night and semi-final sessions drawing j crowds which placed standing : room at a premium. —oOo — Bluffton also reported capacity, crowds at the community building. All season tickets were sold two days before the tourney opened I and many fans were unable to gain admission to the gymnasium at several of the sessions. —oOo—i Further honor was showered on Indiana's title as the center of basketball when the Purdue and Indiana teams tied for the Big Ten conference title, each with the loss of only one game. Purdue had the best offensive record in the I conference, while Indiana showed the best defensive team. —oOo — With Adams county teams out of the running. Basketbawl is also going into the discard for another season. It's been a great season in many respects, disappointing in others but we have enjoyed it all, along with coaches, players and fans. —o()o — SIGNING OFF! o Dog Tows Skater PACIFIC GROVE. Cal. (U.R) — , School transportation has .been solved by Frank Dußoie, who, ' mounted on roller skates, and clinging to the tail of a German ■ police dog. attains a speed of 25 miles an hour, according to traffic I agents. ■ ■■■lll— I ■■ ■ ■ I II —— Plush Sofas Doomed Berlin.—(U.R) —All plush sofas in Germany are under "sentence of death. ’ Dr. Ley, leader of the German labor front, has sounded their death knell, and he has appointed an army of "trash dictators" to see that the sentence is carried out. o Weighty Rescue Effected Washington.— (U.R) — Mrs. Emile Crawford, who weighs 350 pounds, fell out of bed, and the efforts of four lodgers to put her back were not enough. Three husky members of the fire department rescue squad finally placed Mrs. Crawford back in bed. o Beautiful New Coats, Suits and Dresses direct from the market.—E. F. Gass Store.
