JACKETS WHIP VAN WERT FIVE TUESDAY NIGHT Yellow .Jackets Score Easy Triumph Over Buckeye Quintet Th* Decatur Yellow Jackets had little difficulty scoring their sixth triumph of the saeson Tuesday night, handing the Van Wert. Ohio, Cougars a 39-22 trouncing on the new gymnasium court in this city. The Buckeyes failed to offer much opposition to the Yellow Jackets. who were far out in front at the end of the first u f. 22 to 6. Decatur held an H-3 margin at the first quarter and exactly doubled this at the half intermission. Van Wert scored only twice from the field in the first half, both from fairly long range. Coach Hugh Andrews made frequent shifts in his lineup during the entire second half and as a result the Jackets outscored the Cougars by only one point during the second half. C. Stapleton was the leading scorer for Decatur with five field goals and two free throws for 12 points. Kennedy was high for Van Wert with five field goals, all scored from well out on the floor.

Not that the boys did not regret it. but they know how to accept defeat when they’re off their game or out-class-ed. It would help morale a whole lot if the fans would realize that a team can't win them all regardless of the opposition. Let’s take defeat as calm as we do victory, and in the same spirit.” — Berne Review. "As might be expected snow fell Friday night, the night Berne played Decatur. That has happened at least for the past four or five successive years. That would not have been so bad if ths Bears would not have been snowed under. 30 to 21. Last year the snow or something helped Berne to win 31 to 18.” —Berne Witness. Adams county fans, particularly those in Berne, will keep • a close eye on the Indiana-But-ler clash at Indianapolis Friday night. Two former Berne stars, Bob Dro and Jerome Steiner, will be in opposing lineups. Dro is a sophomore at Indiana and Steiner a junior at Butler. More than 100 Berne fans are expected to witness the tilt. One year ago this week: Ossian 47, Yellows Jackets 34. j Dunkirk 30, Berne 20. Berne 37, Ossian 30. Hartford 31, Monmouth 29.
