Yellow Jackets Lose To Ossian Bears, 33-3 J

DECATUR DROPS ROUGH GAME TO > OSSIAN BEARS Final Quarter Spurt By Locals Fails To Close Wide Gap (By Bob Sh-aluka) n a wild and woolly affair that , threatened time after time to bring enthiieiastic fans onto the floor in defense of their team, a band of vengeful, rough and rawboned Ousian Bears came out of their Wells county lair last night to bruise and batter a 33-24 win over an already J criipp’ed Yellow Jacket five. While neither team lashed a ' brilliant brand of basketball, it can truthfully be said that the locals were at loss to find away to cope with the zone defense and "get the ball at any cost" style of offense employed by the visiting quintet. With the exception of the first three minutes, when fans settled back into their seate to watch an interesting and tight ball game, the Rears’ style carried the game from the control of the officials, where it remained during the balance of the fray. Getting a “hot” streak during the first half the Bears showed rheir ability to drive their way through a re-vamped Decatur lineup necessitated by numerous injuries, to establish a seemingly unsurmountable lead of 19-4 at half-time. Deciding against the orthodox style of basketball, as played in previous games, the locals in a last half rally resorted to the rough-and tumble type to pull up within nine points with four minutes left to play. Ossian, however, quickly scor-; ed again and the best Decatur could I do was again slash the margin to , nine points, with the final score, j 24-33. Starting the game with Heller and Beery, at forwards. Smith at, center and Freidt and Worthman at j guard positions. Coach Hugh An-, drews was forced to call upon sev- 1 eral ailing members of the squad | in an effort to halt the Bears. Me-1 Connell, Hurst and Stapleton were rushed into the game shortly before

Hurst, suffering from a , recent attack of appendicitis, was I called twice in an effort to stem the ’ tid of the Ossian offense but to no i aval 1 . McConnell, local forward, was i j neat able to escape the mauling of I the Bruins' paws to lead the Deca-' j tur offense with a total of nine i points, all scored in the second half. I Smith, Jacket center, who survived a full 32 minutes of the gruelling ■ battle, was next in line with eight I points. i Hoover, clever guard of the Wells | J county quintet, led both teams with a total of 11 points. Wilson, former Yellow Jacket, now living within ■ the Wells county boundaries, fol- j lowed with eight countersi Despite the roughness of the. ■ game only 21 personals were called I j on the two quintets. 12 on the Bears | and nine on the locals. Reminiscent of the old professional game of former days, three ipersonals were called on the visitors for playing the ancient game of "mushpile', or diving into an already squirming bunch ‘of players, madly scrambling for possession of the bal'. The Ossian Cubs, an almost exact replica ot the husky varsity five, added insult to injury when they handed the Yellow Jacket reserves an unmerciful drubbing, 51-9.

K' Tweeeeee. The whistle just heard was that of the scorekeeper, announcing the substitution of helper Bob. as your j writer, In the absence of Basketbawls, who is confined to i his home with one of the much • prevalent colds-in-the-nose. 000 The previously termed eecrat practice game of the Jackets and Ossian Bears last night turned out to be anything but a practice ( session, as will -be noticed by the I score. The Bruins loped off to their Wells county hibernating quarters with a 33-24 win under their black ol’ pelts. 000 In the opinion of this writer last night's encounter afforded but little of the well-liked game of basketball as enjoyed by ardent fans of today. It was rough, wild and woolly, with the burly Bears bumping the ailing Yellow Jackets all over the hardwood. 000 While there is a general opinion that the officiating was not of the highest quality, it can be said that I the style of game witnessed last , night is the kind officials dream i about in a wild nightmare. 000 With all of their unusual style, the Bears displayed enough honest-to-goodness basketball to clearly indicate why they are at the top of Wells county basketeers. They were not, however, 15 points better than the crippled Jackets, as the half score indicated. 000 The crowd was smaller than usual last night, caused In a large measure by the absence of the inj valuable pre-game publicity. For soone reason along the line, the Democrat was not notified until after press time Monday night. 000 But two more games this week, both tonight, and then no action in the county uhtil next week. Monmouth pl/ys at Hartford and Jefferson at Geneva tonight. This i column is concerned over the con- ! dition of Boerger, veteran player of the Eagles, Who was suddenly taken ill yesterday afternoon. We join with others in our wishes that his recovery be immediate. • 000 Nearly all teams resume action next waek, with the four-team blind tourney at Bluffton the headline engagement. If the Yellow Jackets are to come through with I a win on the Tiger floor New i Years day, they will need the as- ! sistajice of all ailing members of
