Week’s Schedule For Adams County Basketball Teams Saturday •i Commodores at St. Mary's, Ani demon. ' iiiies failed to click in their second | encounter lust night to fall an ' eight point victim. I Held to a field goal each, by ' Hess and Cook in the first half, | both ot those coming after 11 minlutes of the first stanza, the locals ' were able to add only a foul toss | by Hess to trail. 5-10 at the half. For u brief instant the Commies opened up in the early minutes of the second half when Baker and Gillig hit from the field to whittle the margin of the leaders to three points. 10-13. Camping on the heels of the I Buckeye quintet, the locals brought the score to 12 14 early in the fin al period. Then a lad by tile name of W.' Kessen li i t an unusually "hot streak" in his attempts under the basket, tipping the ball in from any and every angle. When the locals finally battled the sharpshooting Renter, they were on the short end of a 13-21 score. Frenzied by the wild applause of a nearly unanimous Celina crowd and un-handicapped by the little j I whistle-tooting of a single official, I the Buckeye five went “haywire"! I in their attempts to increase the 1 I margin witli the result that little I lit any good basketball was display I ed. Each team garnerd two points in the final few minutes to bring[ about the final 23-14 score. W. Kessen was undoubtedly the I star of the game, getting five has j kets for a total of 10 points in ad-I ditlon to leading his team in the I 'second half spurt. Hess was best | ■for the locals with two baskets land three free throws for seven I markers, and was the only man to I hit more than once from the field I for the Commies. Commodores FG FT TP W.

Last night's contest was a throwback to the fire wagon game common in basketball many seasons ago, with botli quintets racing up land down the floor and shooting i more or less with abandon Decatur, however, exhibited a ' greatly superior floor game to that of the visitors, who would have been hopelessly lost without the sensational sharpshooting of Pfeiffer, diminutive forward, who ac-. [counted for IS of his team's points. I 16 of these in the second half. The Hrst quarter started rather , slowly, with the Yellow Jackets aI head by a 9-5 count. The Yellow Jackets really turn] ed on the heat with the start of the j second quarter, piling up IS points, I before the visitors scored on C. , Smith's field goal. This made the 'score 27-7, Decatur with three min- [ utes to go. The Jackets added three more field goals while the i Comets could register but one to [ give Decatur a lead of 33-9 at the lend of the first halt. Led by Pfeiffer, who hit five tim-: es from the field, the Comets stag'ed a rally with the start of the l third quarter to throw a scare in[to tiie Yellow Jacket partisans. Decatur came right back with a counter rally, however, to hold a comfortable lead of 40-27 at the • end of the period. Both teams kept, 1 up their fast pace in the fourth quarter, witli the Yellow Jackets I maintaining their good lead. McConnell. Decatur's sophomore I forward, was the Yellow Jackets ■ leading scorer with four field goals | and six foul tosses for a total of; 14 points.
