N.E.I.C.MEET HELD SATURDAY ATFORTWAYNE Decatur Entered In Baseball. Tennis Meets; One Ruling Changed Plans for the N. E. I. C. baseball and tennis tourneys, in which Decatur Yellow Jackets teams will be entered, were furthered Saturday in a meeting of conference I members held in Fort Wayne. The Yellow Jackets will vie with nines from Hartford City. Bluffton and Kendallville Saturday. May 28.1 at Kendallville with the Comets as | hosts. The locals will also be entered in the tennis tourney of the con-. ference to be held at South Side. | the date to be set later by South Side officials. The track tourney I will be held May 6 at North Side I 1 and the golf tourney at South Side, with the date undecided. Decatur; will not be represented in these two ilieels. Change Ruling Among the most important deci- i sions handed down by conference , I was that of changing play among N* E. I. conference basketball i teams. The new ruling, as passed by the members, eliminates the! requirement that each team in the | conference play at least one game' with each of the other member:, teams. The new legislation re-1 quires that all conference teams play at least six other conference teams, the opponents to be listed i and the conference notified before . November 1. i This ruling will mean that some | schools will be dropped from the,, basketball schedule of the larger ( Fort Wayne institutions. The nil-1 ing. however, is not expected to 1 ( affect the Yellow Jackets in that i matter, since the new gymnasium | here will afford an added incentive! to Fort Wayne-Decatur clashes. ; During the presentation of awards at the meeting, North Side was given the football trophy. South and North Side tied for basketball honors. The football i winners had a record of four wins without a loss, while the basketball winners had a record of eight wins and one loss each. South Side forfeited a tilt to Columbia City ■ _______———__________

CHICAGO TEAM HOCKEY WINNER ■ Black Hawks Upset New York; Meet Toronto For Championship 11 — l New York. April 4 - (U.R) — All that is needed to complete the cycle of upsets in the National hockey league is for the Chicago Black Hawks to smash the champion ! Toronto Maple’ Loafs In the Stanley cup final i The Black Hawks defeated the , New York Americans 3-2 last night to win the semi-final of the cup playoff, two games out of three. The Maple Leafs are 2-1 favorites to win the cup final which begins in Toronto tomorrow night, but if i the Hawks should take the trophy in three straight, it would he no more startling than the round of upsets that began with the failure of the Detroit Red Wings to win a playoff berth. The Wings, league and Stanley cup champions for the last two years, were rated one of the strongest teams in the circuit, but they never threatened to repeat. In the four cup playoff series to date every winner has been the under dog. The Boston Bruins. American division champions, and S 5 favorites to win the cup. were howled over in three straight by the Toronto skaters. The New York Rangers, rated even higher I than the Leafs and second only to) the Bruins, were knocked off by the Americans. The odds-makers said it was 10-1 that Chicago. wouldn't win the cup. but the Hawks beat Montreal’s Canadians, rated at 6-1. o Today's Sport Parade By Henry McLemore Augusta. Ga.. Apr. 4. — (U.Rz — Bobby Jones would like to return to competition. He would like to play once more for the national open championship. He will be on the first tee of the Cherry Hills course in Denver on June 9 —ready to pit his skill against golf's greatest field — if the United States Golf Association will accept his entry and exempt him from the rigors of sectional qualifying. Bobby will not submit to the qualifying ordeal — that hazardous gamble in which hundreds of players stage a oneday battle for a very limited number of places in the championship proper. Shortly after he had placed himself among the 54-hole leaders in the masters' tournament by a bril liantly wrought round of 72 yesterday, Bobby told me of his desire to have another try at the title on which he once almost held a monopoly. "If the U. S. G. A., would make all former open champions eligible for the championship.'' Bobby told me. "I would like nothing better than to have another go at the boys. I don't have an idea that I would win it. because 1 have been gathering rust while all the other players have been gathering bird-

I ies and eagles. But it would be ! great fun to get in the open again. ! . I’d love the fellowship and the ex ! . eitement." . i Speaking with all modesty. Jones , i expressed the belief that the pies- ' ence of all the old champions would add greatly to the color of the national open. "I believe there are lots of good folks who still would like to see lus play, even if they knew we didn't have much of a chance to win it.” Bobby said. "Hagen would be there and Jim Barnes, and others. I may be wrong, but it seems to me that the men who have won the opep deserve a little recognition. If you were ever good enough to win it. you should be given the right to play it as long as you like." After 1 had talked to Jones 1 i spoke to a score or more of the ' leading professional golfers, many I of whom had bowed to Jones when he was absolute monarch of the game and his empire included all the fairways of the world. They were tremendously enthusiastic over the prospect of his return. Here are a few of their comments: Harry Cooper: I am all for al-' lowing the former champions to | compete without qualifying. Golf could have no greater shot in the arm than to have Bobby play in the open. Benny Shute: I’ll vote for Bob's return right now. There never was a greater player on a greater sportsman. Johnny Revolts: What a break it would be for golf to have Jones back in the open. I think he deserves a place in the field, and 1 . think all the other champions should have automatic qualification. Freddie Corcoran, tournament manager of the P. G. A.: Bobby’s return to competition in the open ; would be the greatest thing that 1

'could happen to golf. His is still the biggest name in'golf. laet him ; return to the open and you'll see ! the biggest crowds and the keenest interest of all time. Let us all pray that the U. S. G. A. will see the light. Tnat jones still packs all of his old crowd appeal is proved each year in the masters’. He has yet to finish better than thirteenth, but his gallery, each time he walks to the first tee. is five to ten times greater than that of any player. (Copyright 1938 by I’P.)
