Commodores Even Score

COMMIES BEAT RAMBLER FIVE AT HUNTINGTON Decatur Comes From Behind To Score Decisive Victory Displaying an amazing ability to rally after three minutes of the second quarter had gone, the Decatur Commodores won a 3119 victory over the Huntington Catholic five last night on the Huntington floor. During the first quarter the locals were unable to "get going' and trailed 5-8 as the first stanza ended. The Ramblers, led by Keefe and J Selmlck. extended their margin to 5-13 with three min utes of the second quarter gone. Then with a rapidity that amazed both Commodores and Hunting ton tans, the locals "opened up." Baker hit three times from the field. Hain hit from the field and added a point on a foul. At halftime the Commodores were lead Ing by a one-point margin, 14-13. But they didn’t stop there The locals went on to pile up a 22-14 lead before the Irish hit. It meant that the Commies piled up 15 points before the Ramblers could do more than mark up a charity toss. At the third quarter the Commies led 24-16. It was little "Simmy" Hain, who! seemed to be the sparkplug of the locals last night. Moved up some , time ago from the reserve squadj to fill out a varsity hampered by i ineligibility and injuries. Simmy! vindicated the judgment of Coach | George Laurent in playing him I with the regulars. While scoring , but a field goal and a foul toss, he ; was in almost every play. Not content with starting scores of of -j fenslve plays, he fell back in de- • fensive formation time after time to break up a Rambler scoring threat, despite his small stature. Art Baker, veteran, was the scor ing power of the tilt, amassing 13 j points on five baskets and three I free throws Gillig was next in ’ LOANS »10 to J3OO Private trn — W CO Mtxnts Let us solve your money problems Convenient repayment terms Coll, write or phone LOCAL LOAN COMPANY INCORPORATED 105' a North Second Street Decatur.
