COMMIES BEAT CELINA, OHIO, SCORE, 20-11 Decatur Commodores Remain Undefeated By V ictory Wednesday Throwing up an almost lnvul-j nerable defense during the entire tilt, the Decatur Commodores, undaunted by a small floor, continued their winning streak Wednesday night at the expense of the Celina, Ohio. Spartans, winning 2011. Remaining on the rapidly diminishing list of undefeated Adams county quintets, the Commodores romped all over the Buckeyes to, gain their fifth victory of the seas-| on. For 11 minutes of the tilt, the Commies virtually ‘‘bearded the lion in its own den,” using the I small floor to bottle up the oppos-' ing offense and holding them scoreless form the field. Except for Fischer, veteran guard, the Commies succeeded in completely blanking the Spartans from the field. Fischer garnered three field goals. Meanwhile, led by Art Baker, who returned to his sniping ac-' curacy of last season, the Commies scored eight times from the field.

Decatur was trailing 10’ . to I at Um first quarter. 14 to in ■ at the half and 24 to 18 at the third ’ , quarter.
