COMMIES MARK UP EASY WIN OVER CELINA Locals Hand Buckeyes Decisive, 37-17 Setback In Rough Tilt In a wild and wolly tilt that would have seemed far more appriate on the gridiron of Notre ! Dame, the Decatur Commodores i bruised and battered their way to 1 an easy 37-17 win over the Immaculate Conception five of Celina. Ohio. The first half was all Commodores. While the Commies were hitting the net with fairly consistent accuracy they were effectivly smothering any attempt on the i part of the Buckeyes to score. , Running up a 7-2 lead at halftime the Commies kept widening the gap in the second quarter, and lit wasn't until but three minutes lof the first half remained that a j Celina laZ finally rung the bell ; from the field.

Jessie Barker Now that Jessie Barker. 22-year old Louisville, Ky., debutante, has convinced the court she is Jessie Barker, a final legal hurdle, she comes into a $1,500,000 fortune left by her father 21 years ago. Miss Barker said she was happy all over, but not excited. “You see,” she said. “I’ve always known that I would have the fortune.

in for the locals. At the start of the second half, the Buckeyes gave just a hint of a rally when they scored twice in succession from the field, but it was short-lived. At the end of the half tte locals had led, 15-5 and at the finis of the third quarter they still were way out in front. 24-9 The best the Celina netters could do in the fourth and final period was hang on as much as possible, letting the Commies in with a decisive 37-17 win. A total of 21 personal fouls were called by the officials, who did everything in their power to keep the tilt resembling somewhat the tyep of game first given the name of basketball, but it was almost a hopeless task. Baker was the big scoring power, chalking up 16 points, while Bob Hess garnered 10. The scoring for the losers was fairly evenly divided. Commodores FG FT TP Hackman. f 10 2 B.
