Farrar counted all of Geneva’s points in this period on a fielder and a pair of foul tosses. The Yellow Jackets increased their margin to 14 points in the third quarter, which ended with Decatur on top by a 32 to 14 count. Geneva tallied only once from the field in this period. The Jackets had no trouble holding their commanding lead throughout the final period, although using reserves most of the last quarter, Decatur outscoring Geneva 10 points to eight before the final horn sounded.

Pyle was the only Cardinal to hit more than once from the field, leading his team with 13 points.

Commies Edge Out Lima Five By 43-42 Score — Rallying in the final quarter after trailing by a narrow margin most of the game, the Decatur Commodores nosed out 43 to 42 victory over St. John’s of Lima. O„ Friday night at Lima. The battle was close and hard fought all the way. Decatur held a one-point lead at 11 to 10 at the first quarter, but Lima shot into a scant two-point margin, 25 to 23, at the half-time intermission. The Buckeyes increased this lead by one point to hold a 34 to 31 margin at the end of the third quarter, but the Commies' final period rally was sufficient to eke out. the one-point victory. The game developed into a parade from one free throw line to the other, as the officials assessed a total of 45 fouls, 25 personals and one technical on Decatur, and 19 personals on the Ohio quintet. Although neither team lost a man on fouls, four of the Commies’ starting five finished the game riding with four personals each, while Lima had two regulars carrying four as the tilt ended. Decatur was without the services of Kable, regular forward, who is reported ill with the chickenpox. Rumschlag led the Commodores in scoring with 14 points, six of them on free throws, and was followed closely by John Gillig with 11 markers. Hoehn and T. Riepenhoff paced Lima with 11 points each, nine of Hoehn's points coming on foul tosses. The Commodores’ only game next week, against an Alumni quintet, will be played Wednesday night at the Catholic school gym. The tilt was originally scheduled for Friday, but was changed because of the Thanksgiving holiday. Decatur FG FT TP Baker, f 2 15 D. Gillig. f 0 3 3 Wilder, c 3 17 IJ.
