A * Week’s Schedule For Adams County Basketball Teams « Friday Commodores at St. John's of I Delphos. Ohio. | Pleasant Mills at Monmouth. Kirkland at lomcaster. Bryant at Geneva. such an odd emblem. Eastern teams have come flying American, state, university, and even city, flags, but none has ever come to do battle under the burgee of the boudoir. , Duke's own North Carolina fought under the bonnie blue flag of the confederacy. Texas, start- ' ing from the Alamo, bled and died for the lame Star. Henry of Na- ‘ varee’s wa riots looked to the white plume. Washington at Valley Forge flew the thirteen stars. Napoleon’s legions, from Austerlitz to Waterloo, turned to tricolor of France. | But tomorrow, the Blue Devils of Durham come to the Gettyburg of the west flying the standard of an exclusive women's shop. Under its hemstitched borders, beneath its hand-turned daintiness, the Blue Devils will attempt to spike the Trojans' guns. 1 Duke got its new flag a week ago when some unknown! descendant of Betsy Ross carefully sewed the lace panties and mailed them to the co-captains of the Duke team, Eric Tipton and Dan Hill. ' They were slightingly addressed Ito "Agnes" Tipton and “Euncle” Hill. An aroused North Carolina popui lace immediately launched a ' search for the sender, in the hope i of locating him and giving him a stag party beneath the pine tree with a low branch. Many married men were listed atpouug the suspects. I am no detective, but thiff would be the last group I would search for the culprit. Because too many married men know that , the type of persons who wears lace panties can be just as focre- ; ful. shall we say. as a man dress- i ed in a suit of armor and carrying a spear. If by wearing lace pan- ■ ties the Duke football team can make itself as fearsome as a wife in full cry after her husband's ' scalp, then Southern California is going to get licked in the Rose Bowl by a score —and I am being , conservative —of anywhere from 45 to 0 to 285 to 0.

WESTERN TEAM DOWNS PURDUE

y Loses To Southern California; Irish Beat Northwestern Chicago Dec. 23 (U.RJ Purdue suffered its first defeat of the sea- ; son last night at the hands of ! Southern California, a ■ surprise I which casts t> shadow on its out- ' look for the Rig Ten basketball title. But the defeat was only one of three which Big Ten teams suffered in non-conference games last night. Michigan was the only conference team to win. defeating Corneil 42 to 27. Purdue's defeat- 35 to 30- was the first it has taken on its home floor in nearly two years It was the fifth straight victory for the Trojans. Ironically. Purdue, playing without Capt Gene Anderson, who was out with an injured leg, was beaten by its own game — speed. Notre Dame came back into its own by defeating Northwestern 48 to 30. The Irish started off with a 7 to 0 lead in the first five minutes by superior passing and never were threatened. The University of Washington came from liehind in the last eight minutes to defeat Ohio State 43 to 41. Michigan used a tricky passing attack against Cornell. It was the Wolverines' fifth consecutive victory. Last night's scores: Notre Dame 18. Northwestern 30; Southern California 35. Purdue 30; U. of Washington 43. Ohio State 41; Michigan 42. Cornell 27. Toright's games: Indiana at Butler; Ohio State at U. of Washington i * 1 Christmas time means vacation from classes for school students, but to basketbail players of Indi- j ana it is just more basket bail. —oOo— As witness, four games are scheduled for Adamsc ounty quintets tonight. None will be played Christmas Eve, but there is plenty on tap next week. Blindt ourneys will be played in the county next Friday, Saturday and on New Years Day, a week from Monday. —oOo — The Decatur Commodores will lead the parade of games tonight, traveling to Delphos. Ohio, to meet St. John’s, These teams have been great rivals for years and many thrilling contests have been produced that story," she said, “I will meet, you at ten paces in the library. ■ You choose your weapons.” I said, okay, and that I would take a motorcycle. See details in your morning paper.) But to get away from my wife (which isn't going to be easy) the person who sent Duke the feminine underwear probably did the Blue Devils and the ones who are backing them to win. a tremendous favor. The pants provided coach Wallace Wade with a means of mentally readying his team for the game. I have it on the most impeachable authority that on the day before the game. Wade will take his team on a sight-seeing tour. Not one of the regular tours, with stops at the studios, homes of the stars, and the mountains. But on a tour which will include a dozen shops that handle feminine apparel. A stocking shop. A garter salon. A perfume store. An ear ring joint. A girdle shop. “If you lose, boys,” I have not | been told Wade will say at each stop, “you can come in here and buy anything your dear little hearts desire.” ' I have a notion that the Dukes will respond magnificently to such ribbing and that when they take the field against U. S. C., their lace panty banner waving in the breeze, they will look the Trojans in the eye at the kickoff and say: “Okay, you guys. When that whistle blows we'll see who oughta wear the pants In this game.” (Copyright. 1938, by UP.)

The league leaders got a real ' scare though when Doc's grabbed the first game. TutWeiler chalked up a big 233 for the Doc's in his initial attempt. The leaders went on to win the last two games and post a 2,650 total against 2,554. Mutschler with a 215 and Ahr with a 211 were the only other to post 200 marks. Hon-E-Krust remained right on -the leaders' heels, winning two | from three against the third place 1 Frickles', 2,718 against 2,594. In their first game the Bread-Men rolled a 1,001 five-man total.

ANOTHER GANG VICTIM SLAIN John Minogue, Tough Chicago Hoodlum, Is Found Dying — Chicago. Dec. 23. — (U.R) John Minogue, 31. known as one of Chicago's toughest hoodlums, died today loyal to the end to gangland s code but pleading for protection from the police he had avoided for six years. Gangland asassins fired on him from an automobile last night as he was going home to dinner. He was the 14th victim of gangland vengeance in the city since May. I He fell only a few doors from his home, with five bullets in his head and body. As the killers sped away, his sister, homeward bound from work, reached his side. A few minutes later police arrived and took him to a hospital. As he lingered near death they : attempted to question him. He refused to talk about the shooting, give police any clues to the gunmen, or to discuss his own em-. ployment. But he begged police l Lieut. Philip McGuire to place a' guard in his room. “I don't want to be alone," he pleaded. "Those guys will come back and get me. Put somebody on guard.” Police said he had been employ-, ed in a handbook and theorized that his slaying might have ed from gambling troubles. "He was one of the tofighest hoodltftns in the city." Chief of Detectives John L. Sullivan said. “We never got any thing on him. but we know he was tough and he had a long record.” In 1934. according to police records, Minogue was questioned about the murder of Eli Daiches. wealthy advertising executive, who ' was slain in gangland fashion. He was released. No one has been convicted of-the crime.

NEW BUILDING (CONTINUED PAGE OU*) highways, and other construction has been completed. “But the school tn particular is ‘everybody's business.’ It keeps shop with regularity. The school master or teacher is the boss. No ! business reaches everybody s door-: step as does this business of, schooling. “Today there are more than 750.0(H) students in schools through out the state of Indiana, both public and parochial. They attend classes at more than 3,600 sites under the tutelage of more than 23,000 trained teachers. In addition, 207,000 of these students ride to and from classes for a daily mileage of 200,000 miles or about 27 million miles in one year.” In closing, the speaker gave a short resume of the history of education in Indiana, saying that “the ; growth of education is represented by three types of school building, namely the log cabin, the one-room school and the modern building, such as the one being dedicated. He also stated that there were still 1,039 one-room schools in the state. Mayor Pays Tribute With “commemorating the spirit
