Ardent eighth grade supporters I were given plenty to rave about during the entire game, with both teams flashing a brand of basketball that would do credit to high school outfits. Seeking to recapture the George ! Wemhoff trophy, awarded annually to the winner in the inter-city series, St. Joe took the floor in the second half to overcome a 16-12 lead and nose out the win. The game opened in characteristic style with the score tied four ' times in the first 11 minutes and neither team able to gain more than a two-point margin at any one ' time.

Friday night the Yellow Jackets will entertain the Berne Bears on the local floor. 000 The only game which approaches the Berne game in fan interest in this city is a clash between the Yellow Jackets and the Bluffton Tigers. 000 The Yellow Jackets ha,ve had very little success against these Beane for the past three seasons and are really thirsting for revenge. The locals surprised even I their most ardent backers last i Friday with a. sterling victory i over North Side. Hurst, veteran I center, was out last week and it I is uncertain if he will be able to participate against the Bears. 000 The Bears further showed their power last night by defeating Winl Chester. 31 to 26. Winchester, coached by Stretch Murphy, former Marion high school and Purdue university star, has a veteran j team, one of the strongest in the school's history and has been plenty tough all year. Bob Dro. Berne center, tallied 16 points last night. 000 While the Jackets are preparing for Berne, the Commodores will be settling a feud of their own Thursday night. 000 The Commodores will battle the Kirkland Kangaroos Thursday night at the local floor. The Kangaroos recently defeated the Commodores at Kirkland and the local quintet will be out to even the ecore. 000 Decatur’s annual city grade series opened Tuesday night, with the St. Joe graders scoring a 28-22 victory over the Central team. The boys of both teams put on a good show and kept a large crowd interested all the way. 000 More figures from the statistics of helper Bob.

Each team has won five games and lost one. Both squads lost heavily through graduation and ha,ve few veterans available. Hurst, the big Decatur center is a tower of, strength, but has been out of the; lineup for some time because of j sickness. He will probably be ’ ready to go against Berne. Hurst I was out of the harness Friday 1 night and yet the Jackets defeated North Side 31-28. And North Side . held Central to a 4-point win the previous week. Looks like a stormy we*-! ahead for the Bears, j Wid Be Close Personally we be'ieve the Berne Decatur game will be close. Some of the Decatur boys to watch be-, sides Hurst will be McConnell, j Smith, Brodbeck, (Friedt, Worthman and a few others. Decatur’s chief task, of course, will be to stop DRO. The breaks will win or lose this game, we believe. — Simon Schwartz, Berne Review. This bodes bad. The Decatur Yellow Jackets beat North Side’s ' Redskins on the Fort Wayne, floor, 31 to 28 and that without Hurst, who is said to be having that plague-oned appendicitis trouble. A rally in the last three minutes turned the tide in favor of the County Seat team. —Ed Liochty, Berne Witness. o Holiness Association Will Meet Sunday The Adams county holiness association will hold its monthly meeting at the Nazarene church In Berne, Sunday afternoon, December 20 at 2 o’clock.
