Logansport entertains coach Everett Case and hie defending chantj pions toi/ght in a sell-out engageI ment. Despite the fact that the two teams met early in the season interest in the conflict is state-wide. Frankfort nosed out coach Cliff Welks’ Berries in their first mee - . ing. 22 to 20. Since then the Logansport Quintet apparently has found itself and tonights clash is espected to prove an important tfet for the I Hot Dogs, favored by many to repeat in this year’s state tourney.

Huntington and Hammond will meet at 2:30 p. m. tomorrow, with Anderson and Col-, , legeville playing at 3:30. The winners of the first two games tonight will meet at 7:30 p. m. Saturday, followed by the clash. be-t tween Marion and the winner of the Fort Wayne-South Bend tilt. Semi-finals will be played at 2:30 and 3:30 Sunday afternoon. The championship tilt will be played at 9 p. m. Sunday, preceded by a consolation tilt between the semi-final losers. —oOo—“Chuck" Cook, regular guard on the Commodore team, was elected captain at a meeting of the squad Thursday evening. Cook, although handicapped by size, is one of the best ball handlers and passers on the squad. Cook is the only senior on the starting quintet. —oOo — Decatur's Yellow Jackets will bring their regular season to a close tonight, meeting the Berne Bears at Berne. The Bears have downed the Jackets twice this season and Decatur is intent on taking this final tilt. —oOo — Schedules for the sectional, regional, semi-final and final rounds of the annual state tourney will be announced Saturday morning. The Democrat will receive a special call as soon as the schedules are released. Both the Fort Wayne and Bluffton sectional schedules will be received here. Call 100. Will turn the rest of the column over to Simon of the Berne Review. Here he is: Rivals For Years Hurst and Dro have been friendly rivals for years. In junior high the boys played against each other, and this rivalry has continued throughout their high school days. Dro has never, since in high school, played a losing game against Decatur. In other words Decatur has not defeated Berne since Dro is in high school, and Bob has -made up his mind that Decatur shall not win this final game. —oOo— A Toss-Up To us, the game looks like a tossup. Decatur has been playing good ball the last several weeks and will be after revenge here. Decatur wants to win this game worse than they wanted to win any contest on their schedule. They will be primed for the battle, and ready to shoot the works. The Bears on I tne other hand appear to have j snapped out of a slump, and will try their best to protect their record against Decatur. To us the breaks may very well determine the winner. Last year when the Jackets played here the Decatur team obtained a 14-3 lead in the l first part of the game because of some sensational long-distance | shooting, but the Bears rallied to win rather handily. —oOo— It's A Long Time Ago In looking back through our files we find that the last time the Decatur Yellow Jackets defeated Berne was in the spring of 1931, when the sectional was played at Decatur. Berne and Decatur battled in the final game and Decatur won the game and the sectional title. The score of that Aral game was 17-14. We cannot find a record of a 1932 Berne-Decatur game, but in 1933 the Bears won at Decatur, 21-19. In 1934 the Bears r|yn by the same score,, but , the game was au overtime affair.

PERRY CASHING 111 ON TENNIS British Tennis Star Has Collected Over $61,000 To Date (Copyright 1937 by UP.) New York. Feb. 26. -jCUR)-—Fred-erlck J. Perry, the dashing Briton who traded his amateur lawn tennis standing for American dollars, didn't make any mistake. He has been on tour 52 days and collected approximately 161.000. 'I hats, >1,173 a day and the tour still has 63 days to go. Francis T. Hunter, who with his partner. S. Howard Voshell, is conducting the Perry-Vines tennis tour, estimates that Perry will collect nearly >IOO.OOO for his tennis ser vices alone by April 30. And he has a chance to pick up another $25,000 or $30,000 with appearances in England and France after the United States Junket. These fig tires do not include what Perry has received from by products such us movie shorts, indorsements, and sporting goods royalties. At the rate he's going Perry promises to gross more money in 1937 than any athlete except the two heavyweight pugilists. James J. Braddock and Joe Louis. Already he has reaped more profit from professional tennis than any other player ever did in one season. The biggest cut William T. Tilden ever drew down was $48.000 in 1931 when he was on tour with Karel Kozelum. Ellsworth Vines held the previous record by collecting $52,000 for his tennis services on the 1934 tour with Tilden.
