COMMODORES Thp Decatur Catholic Commodores lost to a fighting Monmopth quintet who came from behind with a final quarter rally to win, 71 to 82, Friday night at Monmouth. The game was the Eagle’s fifth victory in as many agues and the first |o ss of the season tor the local team. ’Monmouth went ahead in the early minutes of the game but Commodores began an assault which drew them out in front and steadily increased their lead up to 15 points in the third quarter. However, with less than three minutes remaining in the third stansa the Eagles came back to life and in the fourth quarter poured in 28 points to race back in the lead and stay there until the game ended. With a little more than four minutes to go the Monmouth group went on top and held the Commodores to 12 points while their star center, Norb Witte, sizxled the hoops with six field goals and two free throws. In the first stansa the Commodores gained and held a slim lead with the assistance of Ronnie Meyer and Dave Kable. Meyer was also able to hold back the famous Witte tip-ins. Jerry Voglewede took up the Commodore c*sse in the second quarter to counter-balance an 11point Witte attack. In the first seconds of the second period Witte tied the score but the Decatur boys managed to score 21 points during the period while holding their opponents to 17. When the teams*came back after the Intermission, it looked like the Commodores’ game. Working smoothly they scored again and again building up a 15-point lead until, with three minutes to go, the Monmouth boys woke up. Entering the last quarter, the Eagles had cut the Decatur lead to five points. A field goal and a charity toss by Tom Meyer failed to psark the Commodores and then Witte put Monmouth ahead 55 to 54 with about four and a half minutes to go. The tall center and his team-mates wrapped it up with a barrage of field goals. Clint Fuelling and Stew Schnepf of the Eagles and Ron Meyer of Decatur Catholic left the game on fouls during the last minutes of the game. Monmouth committed a total of 20 fouls and the Commodores cashed in on these by scoring 24 points at the foul line. The Eagles collected only 13 charity tosses off 13 Commodore fouls but poured in 29 field goals as compared to Decatur’s 19Witte took his usual place at the head of the scoring column with 31 points. John Myers contributed 20 points to the Monmouth total which was matched by an equal number by Decatur's Ron Meyer. Also in the double figures were Voglewede with 17 and Tom Meyer with 10. The Compiodores will play the Hoagland, Wildest sat the Decatur gym Tuesday, and Monmouth will be at home to Huntington Catholic Wednesday. Monmoutn FG FT TP Fuelling 1 0 2 J.

Farm Bureau —- unquestionably the largest of the three—claims a membership of more than 1,600,000 farm families. But many farmers belong to more than one of the three groups so that there is some overlapping of representation. The Farmers Union and the Grange are stronger in some parts of the country than the Farm Bureau, but unlike the latter they cannot claim such a far-flung organisation. 11 " 1 Trade in a Good Town —, Decatur
