Adams County Schools Will Launch Basketball Season Here Next Week

"llwwl r hysteria" will make its annual bow in Adam* county next week when the county’* high schools open the 1919-”» u basketball season. To the Hartford Gorilla* will go the honor <f officially launching the season schedule, playing Poling of Jay county at the Hartford gym Tuesday night. Pules of the Indiana high school a'hletic association forbid the opening of the net reason in the state un'il Nov. 1. with practice sessions permitted to start Oct. 1 Five other Adams county teams will see their first regular competition Friday night. wh» n four games are on the schedule Hartford will play its second game of the young season Friday, tangling wi'h the Monmouth Eagles at Monmouth In other tilts Friday. the Geneva Cardinals will meet the Btrne-French Bears at Heine. Wren, 0.. will b -a: Pleasant Mills and Adams Central will Have 1 to Willshire. () The Decatur Commodores will launch their season next Saturday night, motoring to Anderson to revive a red hot series with the Gaels Os St. Mary's, a team which the Commodores have not played for several years. The Jefferson Warriors will not be in action until Nov. S. when they open with Wren. 0.. at the Berne high school gym. site of all Jefferson's home games this season. The Decatur Yellow Jackets wait until Nov. IS to open the season, playing the Geneva Cardinals at Decatur on that date. The Jackets i •re the only team in the countyq playing football, and will not start basketball practice until next week Adams county will have one less team In action thjs year than usual, resulting from the consolidation of the Monroe, and Washington township school systems. These school systems are now combined in the Adams Central school. This team uses the Kirkland gym for practices, but will not play any regular games there, be-i cause of inadequate seating capac i’y Most of Adam* Central's home games will be played at the Bluffton community building, with the others on the home floors of the opponents. The elimination of one team in the county will necessitate revision in the annual county tournament schedule, and also in the sectional meet. The consolidation will cut the number of competing teams to seven in the county tourney, as the Decatur Yellow Jackets and Berne Bears do not participate The tourney schedule may be determined at a meeting next week of principals and coaches with Hansel Foley, county superintendent Provided the sectional tourney is awarded to Decatur again next February, with only Adams county teams entered, it will cut thetourney field to nine teams, and eliminate the Friday afternoon session. which has been In vogue here for several years COLLEGE FOOTBALL Chattanooga 21.
