Commodores Lose Opening Game Os Seasol — — » ~~ ■ . W:

Lose Opener To Kirkland c Last Evening Kirkland’s undefeated Kangaroos Tuesday night tripped a scrappy Commodore quintet in a 35-29 battle at the Kirkland gym. An inspired Commodore rally midway in the fourth quarter failed to cheek Kickland's frenzied five, who retained command throughout the fray. It was the Decatur squad's season debut, and local partisans thronged to the Kirkland bandbox to watch the Commodores in their first game under new coach Dave Terveer. Although Bill Gillig scored the first tally of the ball game, the Commodores were never able; to challenge the Kangaroos’ accur-' acy. Close shots by John Kable and lazy long ones by Jim Meyers highlighted Decatur's scoring threat. Kable was the game’s high scorer, with 10 points. Kirkland's J. Arnold, accounted for nine markers and the team's captain, Troxel, scored eight. Seven points that Kirkland picked up on foul goals won the contest. The Commodores ended nip-and tuck with the Kangaroos in the field goal statistics. Kirkland led 16-14 at half-time, increasing their lead to 27-21 at the three-quarter mark. With four minutes of playing time left the Commodores whittled that margin to two points, but were unable to hold on. The Kirkland five played a 32 minute game. The Commodores, however, had to use profuse substitu ions to preserve the playing life of Dave Gillig, Kable. and reserve Dick Gage, who each accumulated a dangerous number of fouls. Gillig was banished from the hardwood in the closing minutes of the encounter. Kirkland's backboard play was vigorous, both teams finding it hard to hit the mark because of tight defensive action. The Kangaroos, in their first season under the tutelage of Don Arnold, have an unblemished record to . date, having crushed Jefferson and Rockcreek-by imposing margins in earlier games. The Commodores will be out for revenge Friday night when they take on the Monmouth Eagles in the Yellow Jackets gym here. Kirkland's assignment will be to upset the defending sectional champions, j the Hartford Gorillas, on the same | night.

Muncie Central Looms As Tough Again This Year (Editor’s note: this is the second of four stories on probable team alignments by semi-final districts for the 1948-49 Indiana high school basketball campaign.) — BY KURT FREUDENTHAL Indianapolis. Nov. 10 —(UP)— Three “peoples' choice” teams, Chester Twp.. Portland and Mon- ; roeville, battled Muncie Central fori ■ the right to represent central Indiana in the four-team finals of 1 the state high school hardwood I tourney last March. But Central's Bearcats first 1 whipped Monroeville and then Portland, which derailed previously , undefeated Chester Twp.. to give l I the north central conference three > I teams in the big show. Anderson i and Lafayette were the other NCC i title contenders, and Evansville ; Central of the southern conference : was the fourth. There may be a similar outcom- . ing at Muncie this time, for Art I Beckner will have another rugged club. Marion Acton, Homer Bradburn and Kenny Delk are also members of Muncie's football club, and other first-string holdovers include Mack Rae and Fred Powell. Gone are forwards Bob Newton aqd Paul George and center Bill Taylor. While Chester Twp. lost Its starting five through graduation. Monroeville should be as strong this time, if not stronger. The Cubs have four of last year’s five starters back and should be one of the toughest small teams .in Indiana for the second straight year. In their opener last Friday the Cubs more than doubled the score on Hoagland. Burris. Muncie Central’s city rival. also should have something to say in the Muncie district this time. The Owls, usually one of central Indiana's strongest clubs but winners of only three games last year, have 10 of 12 starters; back and opened with a 59 to 31 i victory over Hagerstown last night, ; Fort Wayne also will have some star-studded outfits. North Side ’ has three good forwards in George Bowers, Bob Conway and Doug = Cunningham, and also a six-foot-three center in Jim Grant. South Side, which last year lostl only to La Porte and city rivals North and Central and won the Marion tourney, was hit hard by I graduation losses, but retained 1 strength in forward Bill Beery and I guards Doug Lawrence and Paul I Underwood. Central's city champs, finally, lost their brilliant Johnny Bright, one of the best scoring cogs in the state last year, six-foot-foiir Les Panning and Ned Brenizer. But six-foot-three Fred De Armond and Wilson Porter should be the backbone of another tough : team. ' Richmond, which barely missed winning the NCC crown last year. 1 lost Dudley Moore, another fast- ; moving youngster. But Floyd Bak- | er's 1948 edition, centered around lanky Dale Defibaugh, shouldn't be easy-picking. Two of the “three Bees" from Portland's regional champs also j will be missing—six-foot-four DarI rell Brewster and Dick Bond. Only , John Bright is back, but the Pan-

This roster of talent is enough to serve notice to the three other semi-final centers that North-Cen-tral Indiana is "loaded" again this time. . Jefferson's 1 ' Five Defeats Wren, 52-31 . | Joyce Smitley popped in 16 points to lead his Jefferson Wari riors to a 52-31 victory over Wren, 0.. Tuesday night at the Berne : auditorium, bringing Jefferson its first victory of -the season after dropping its opener to Kirkland I last week.

Melvin Wall and Bob Wendel each connected five times from the field for 10 points. Thatcher topped the Wren quintet with 11 points.

Schenck said the Farm Bureau was “working hard" to see that the forthcoming general reassessment of real estate “will be fair, will protect taxpayers, and meet Indiana's needs.” He also recommended improvement in the state highway system, criticized auto and truck taxing proposals that call for taxing aci cording to weight, and spoke out strongly for the general assembly to enact a direct primary law.
