YELLOW JACKETS The . Decatur Yellow Jackets made it five victories in a row Friday night, and did it with almost ridiculous ease as they valJoped the Portland Panthers, 7656, on the Decatur court The Panthers started out with a alam-bang flourish, piling up seven points in the first two minutes of play before Larry Moses broke the ice for the Jackets with a twopointer. With the scoring column dented, Tony Kelly, Stan Kirkpatrick and Terry Murphy hit from the field in a hurry and the Jackets had aped into an 8-7 advantage. A foul toss by Kirkpatrick, Decatur's only chance z from the free throw line the entire first half, and Moses' second fielder made it Jl-7, hut Portland knotted the count at 11-11 with slightly more than a minute to go. Moees then dropped in his third backet of the quarter and Gene Baxter one. and Decatur held a 15-11 margin as the period closed. Kelly, Murphy and Bob Banks boosted Decatur’s lead to 10 points in the first two minutes of the second quarter, and Portland never came close. Decatur’s margin was nine points, 31-22, at the smoker, and the Jackets soon raced to a big 17pOiht bulge at 41-24 in the first two minutes of the third quarter, largely on two three-point plays in a row by Kelly. Coach Bob Worthman kept Juggling his lineup throughout the , rest of the ball game, but it didn’t , seem to make too much difference. Decatur had h 17-poipt margin, , 55-38, as the teams entered the ( final eight minutes of play, and ( Portland never got doser than 16 , pointe. < Kelly was the game's top scorer with it points, and Baxter added 14. Nine of the 10 players who saw 1 action broke into the scoring colran, only Bob Shraluka, a fresh- ’ than, playing his first varsity game, falling to score.

Band Entertains j Prior To Portland Game Friday Night Fifty-six members of the Decatur high school band briskly marched onto the playing floor of the Decatur gym between games last night to provide a. program of strictly "long haired” music on I a “short haired” appreciation lev. el. The ensemble, directed by Clint Heed, enacted the “Life of Beethoven” as told with music and band formations. The outline of the Beethoven piano was the first formation presented by the 'group and they played “Minuet in G,” accompanied by Kay Wynn on the piano. The band then quickly and accurately formed four musical notes, symbolising the four notes that came to Beethoven when he became deaf. These four notes became the theme around which he built his sth Symphony, and the band apftly played this music, never heard by Beethoven. i Music from his 7th Symphony 1 was used as the background of the group’s third formation, which resembled a two-wheeled cart. Beethoven's death was due to pneumonia which resulted from a ride in a two-wheeled cart, on a stormy evening. For the fourth -and final scene, the band formed a music lyre, the form of the tombstone at Beethoven’s grave, and used music from the Sth Choral Symphony, the last of Beethoven’s symphonies. Ralph Thomas then, with the cheering section and accompanied by the bond, sang “Hymn of Praise” from this choral symphony. Reed also announced that the combined bands would perform between games next Friday evening as they present an old time “Jam session” on the Swanee River. , ~ F« a 1 Albany Downs Geneva ’ Friday Night,7B-63 A bad third quarter proved costly to the Geneva Cardinals Friday night, as they suffered a 78-63 defeat at Albany. Albany led at the first quarter, 22-19, and at the half, 38-34, but the Cardinals scored only, seven joints in the third period and trailed, 69-41. Jester topped the winners with 24 points, followed by Edwards with 19. For the Cardinals. Larry Hunt was high with 19, while three others were in double figures.

Extension School Wanned Feb. 16 Roughages School Slated At Monroe ' An extension, school highlighting ■‘Growing, harvesting, storing 1 and feeding roughages” featuring • E. A. Gunoon, extension dairyman, ’ will be held Thursday. Feb. 16 in the Co-Op building at Monroe, ac- ■ cording to county agent. Leo N. Seltenright, and committee ar--1 ranging the program. The meeting ' will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.ni. ' “The present price squeeze which is pinching the profits out of dairying this winter can be leaa- ' ened on many farms it more and ’ better grades of roughages are grown and harvested. Feeding , trials have proved that a yearly, production of 8,000 to 9,ooo‘pounds . of milk can be secured without ‘ feeding any concentrates If plenty ' of good bay, silage, and pasture are fed. When milk sells for less , than $4 per cwt and concentrates are worth 375.00 per ton. it is more J profitable to feed one pound of | grain for every six pounds of milk , than feeding the same amount of grain for three pounds of milk or j no grain at all. Milk production per acre derived from pasture , shows wide variations. Results in > the Purdue herd indicate that a l grass-legume mixture when proper I ly managed produced about tour . times as much milk per acre as similar acres kept as a pennaneut blue grass pasture. Clipping and ; totaling grass-legume pastures us- > ing the surplus as grass silage, produced three times as much milk per acre as other similar pastures used without control practices. The feeding of grass silage has increased rapidly in Indiana during the last few years, as a result of, (1) increase in acreage and total yield of soil conserving grassland crops, (2) need tor conserving more and better feeds for livestock, and (3) developments of eaftier, faster, cheaper labor saving methods of harvesting and feeding grass silage. The use of condftioners or socalled preservatives is usually advisable (a) when grass legume mixtures are out at the early head stage, (b) when alfalfa or clovers are cut at any stage up to and including early bloom and ensiled alone, and lastly, for soybean forage cut at any stage. Kinds and amounts of conditioners meet satisfactory for use will be discussed. Grass silage properly harvested and stored is an excellent winter roughage for dairy cattle. Dally consumption may reach eight pounds per day for each 100 pounds of the animal’s live weight Many herd owners advise supplying limited amounts of hay at the same time which tends to reduce the silage consumption somewhat.” The afternoon session will feature a panel discussion including several local farmers. Farmers ap tending the school who are using silage are urgpd to bring a sample of it along. Pro Basketball Syracuse 94, New York 88. Boston 124, St. Louis 100.
