COMMIES BEAT DELPHOS FIVE FRIDAY NIGHT Commodores Score 23 To 17 Victory Over Ohio Quintet Driving hard under the basket, and throwing up a tight defense, the Decatur Commodores scored a 23 to 17 victory over St. John's of Delphos Friday night at the Com modore gym. The Commies snapped out of the ' lethargy into which they lapsed I gainst Huntington earlier in the week, took the lead in the opening j seconds of play and stayed out in ' front all the way. The contest was only a few sec-1 onds old when Kuhnle took a pass i and dribbled tinder to score un- ( moisted. Shortly after. Kuhnle again worked loose underneath for a wide open field goal. Bolinger i hit a one-hander from in front and t Grothouse scored from underneath ; to make the score 6 to 2. Decatur. I at the first quarter. Bolinger and Voglewede scored close-in shots before Wiechart counted a free throw for Delphos I The visitors pulled within four I points of the Commies when Glad-, en scored and added a free throw when fouled. Baker’s field goal in I creased the lead to six points, ! which Decatur maintained until the end of the half, which closed. 18 to 12. Little scoring was evidenced in I the third and fourth quarters. De- i catur content mainly to play defensive ball. Kuhnle hit from the side for the Commodores and Brandehoff counted a field goal and free throw to make the score 20-15 Decatur at the third period. Delphos pulled within three points on foul tosses by Grewe and Brandehoff but failed io score an-' other point as Kuhnle added another field goal and Voglewede a free I throw. Kuhnle, Decatur forward, played his best offensive bail of the season to lead the Commodores with four field goals for eight points. Gladen was Delphos' ace with three fielders and a foul toss for seven \ points. The game, while fast, was exceptionally clean, only 13 personal fouls being called. Delphos played throughout the entire first half without committing a personal foul.

JACKETS LOSE j TO NORTH SIDE FRIDAY NIGHT Redskins Score 38 To 23 Victory Over Yellow Jackets i Carrying an abundance of powerful reserve material the North Side Redskins handed the Decatur Yellow Jackets their second N. E. I. C. loss last night at the Fort Wayne gym. 38-23. Falling behind in the first quarter, 9-1, before Highland finally scored underneath and McConnell i hit from out in front, the Jackets trailed 12-5 at the end of the i stanza. With McConnell and Hel- , ler both scoring from the field in the secon dperiod, Heller and Shoe ' adding three points on charity I tosses, the Jackets pulled up to within five points. 12-17 at the half. In the second half, however, led by Boedeker, who scored three ! times in succession, the Jackets | were unable to keep pace with the I Redskins teams. Had Coach Hugh Andrews' boys I been able to hit more consistently ' from the field a much closer score might hae resulted. Matching size with sfite. Coach Andrews started McConnell, Stapleton, Highland, Andrews and Zerkel. using his en- ' tire of 10 men in an effort to stem the Ited tide. Frequently rests provided for the first five by an almost equal ly good reserve quintet, made the Redskins strong enough to ward ' off any Jacket attempt to rallyjohnny McConnell, stellar veti eran. was again high scorer for ; the Jackets, getting three field goals and a free throw for seven points. Highland, big center, was the only other player to hit more than once from the field, getting two baskets and a free throw for five points. Heller and Shoe each . hit once, to complete the Jacket , scoring from afield. Boedeker was the big gun for the Redskins, getting 14 points on seven baskets. Golden, ace forward, was held to two baskets by I the locals, but made six free I throws for 10 points. | Decatur FG FT TP 1 McConnell, f .. .... 3 17 i Shoe, f 11 3 Stapleton, f 0 0 0 | Gaunt, f 0 0 0 Highland, c 2 1 5 I Huffman, c 0 0 0 Andrews, g 0 11 , Heller, g . -13 5 Zerkel. g 0 11 Walters, g 0 11 Totals 7 9 23 North Side G FT TP Golden, f 2 6 10 Huth, f 1 0 2 Gunkier, f 0 0 0 Werling, t 0 0 0 | Fruechtenicht, c . 2 1 5 I Russell, g 0 11 ' Boedeker. g 7 0 14 Turner, g 10 2 Hain, g 10 2 Hill, g 10 2 Totals 15 8 38 Referee, Young (Auburn).

Under Hie provisions of (his act, growers will receive govern-; ment payments amounting to approximately SI.BO a ton on their . beet crop in addition to what they receive from the sugar company The act also provides for payments of the same amount per ton on 80 percent of the normal yield ‘of beets for the farm in case of a short crop due to damage from "drought, flood, storm, freeze, dis-! ease or insects,” and should such ; damage cause the abandonment of any of the acreage on a farm, then an abandonment payment is provided for which will pay SI.BO per ton on 1-3 of the normal yield per acre for the farm on the acres lost.
