Guy Brown, principal, and Hob Worthman, athletic director and head coach of the Decatur high school. Concordia will replace the New Haven Bulldogs in the annual holiday meet next season. .New Haven having withdrawn a few weeks ago in to add two more games to its regular schedule. Competing schools in the 1950 holiday tournament will be the Decatur Yellow Jackets, Berne Bears, Bluffton Tigers and the Cadets. The 1950 meet will be held at the Yellow Jackets gym in this city. With New Years day. the regular date for the tourney, falling on Sunday next year, the event will be held on the following day. Monday, Jan. 2, the legal holiday. Decatur will be the defending champion at the 1950 affair, having won the tourney for the past two years. The Jackets won at New Haven last New Years, defeating Berne in the afternoon. 33-29. and New Haven in the finals. 39-37. New Haven downed Bluffton in the first round, 39-31. but Bluffton came back to edge the Berne Bears, 23-21, in the consolation tilt. Addition of the Concordia Cadets in the tourney should in no way weaken the meet's drawing power. Decatur. Berne and Bluffton long have been great rivals, and Concordia has floored consistently tough quintets in the past few seasons. During the past season, the Yellow Jackets scored a 44-41 victory over the Cadets in a fine game, the first time these teams ever met on the hardwood. Concordia has built up an excellent following of fans and attendance at the holiday tourney should suffer in no way. The 1950 tourney will be held in this city, the 1951 tourney in Berne, the 1952 meet at Bluffton and the 1953 event with Concordia as the host.

Snead Wins Coveted Masters Golf Title Augusta, Ga„ April 11 —(UP)— Samuel Jackson Snead, a changed man with a changed putter, sported the coveted Masters title today in support of the argument that he is tops among current golfers. ‘ b His supporters have always arv gued that Whaminin’ Sammy had j. the best drives and — sometimes — I the best putts. Over the weekend, he had those putts consistently. r And, even more, the power-knocker from White Sulphor Springs, W. v Va.. carried on with a supreme coni- fidence. n The result was a total round of o 282. within three strokes of the s tournament record set by Ralph Guldahl in 1939 when the second 0 man at 280 was one Samuel J. “ Snead. >• Snead shot 67 yesterday and he had the same score the day before. I He played a dominant game s throughout, always shooting for e that pin when he was close enough. '■ With Snead, 300 yards is close 1 enough. ’ Snead, who has probably won more piddling tournaments in the ir last 12 years than any golfer still ", shooting, had as his main rival ( , Lloyd Mangrum. ? Mangrum was shooting for glory j to go with that cash he has amass- ■ cd in the last two years. But a two;1 tangle with the No. 1G- lake '. bole cost Mangrum three strokes — e and tb.at was the margin by which . Snead won. s Mangrum wound up tied for secr ond at 285 with handsome Johnny I ’. Bulla of Pittsburgh, who shot four < days of consistent golf while no- ■ body was looking. f The victory was 'worth $2,500 to • the balding but still-slim-at-34 Snead ? and a lot more in prestige. Man- ’ grum and Bulla got SI,OOO apiece. e Snead gave his new putter and ’ a slightly changed stance full credit for his victory. He had putts of ’ eight, 13, 18. and 22 feet in the ‘ pile of seven birdies that gave him the crown despite two dismal bot geys on the back nine. n I. U. Scores Second Win Over Notre Dame Bloomington, Ind., April 11 — (UP) Indiana's baseball Hoosiers headed toward their big nine conference schedule today with a double victory over Notre Dame to ’ spur them on. The Hoosiers broke a 5-to-5 tie in the last of the eighth to douse Notre Dame 7 to 5 Saturday, on the ' heels of an 8-to-7 victory the day before. * It was the third non-conference 1 I win for Indiana this season. I ' ‘ COUNTY COUNCIL (Cont. From Page One) I salary was increased from S6OO to ; S9OO annually by the board. These allowances are requested from the council. Since the requested appropriations total more than $15,000, the law specifies that the council shall p consider the requests on the first , meeting day and ratify its action t on the following day.

Tito stood his ground so Yugoslavia was finally kicked out of the Cominform. Ever since, Russian satellite governments have seized every opportunity to belabor Tito publicly. Tito himself has indicated a willingness to co-operaU with the west, but not at expense of shunning brother Slav nations to the east.

Lakers Star Suffers Broken Righ! Wrist Washington, April 11—(UP)— George Mikan’s broken right wrist j appeared today to be the only thing standing in the way of a Minneapolis victory in the basketball association of America playoff finals. Just how serious the loss of I Mikan is for Minneapolis won't be known until the Lakers and Washington Capitols take the floor tonight in the fifth game of the best-of-seven series. But for Washingi ton, down 3 games to 1, it definitely j is a ray of hope. Mikan is the big pivot man of the Lakers. He does the bulk of the scoring and rebounding and it is doubtful that the Lakers have any one else who is as capable as big George in upsetting the defensive strategy of the opposition. Mikan’s coach, Johnny Kundla. said yesterday that George, who received his injury in the first ; quarter of Saturday night’s game, will play very little, if at all, tonight. He scored 27 points Saturday, playing with the injured wrist.
