Petroleum at Geneva.

The event is slated for the Catholic gym. ———- The Rev.

Single game admissions were raised this year to 60 cents to coincide with the rest of the county and league schools. Lindahl, While not revealing what his prospects are for the Commodore five this year, finds it hard to suppress a smile when asked about his team's chances. Commodore fans, he said can get a good pre-season glimpse of the potential at the Wednesday night scrimmage. They open the regular season Friday night at Decatur high school gym against a rugged Monroeville squad from Allen county. Frankton Dedicates New Gym With Win FRANKTON, Ind. (UPD — Dedication of Frankton high school’s new gymnasium was a complete success Monday night. The home team tripped Lapel, 64-49, in the basketball opener for both. IHSAA Commissioner L. V.

Round Table Retired From Racing Ranks NEW YORK <UPI) — Thesudden retirement of Round Table triggered some bitter verbal exchanges today between Travis Kerr, owner of the turf’s all-time money winner, and officials of the Laurel race track. ’ Kerr had promised that Round Table would make his final apperance under silks ih the Washington D. C International race at Laurel, Nov. 11. However, he he changed his mind Monday and announced Round Table will 'be shipped to Kentucky Wednesday to enter stud duty. j This surprise announcement by | the Oklahoma horseman left Laujrel officials holding the bag. for f i Round Table was being counted ’ on to represent the United States 1 .against some of the world's great£'est thoroughbreds in next week's 1 classic. Track Officials Shocked ! John D. Schapiro, president of ‘ Laurel, and Joseph Cascarella, r the track's executive vice presi- ‘ dent, were shocked when they ; learned of Kerr’s decision. - “Kerr has been giving us the business for three years,” Cascar--1 ella said pointing out it was the t third straight year Round Table , I had been withdrawn from the In1, ternational. > “Sportsmen from all over the .'world have shipped their horses »| thousands of miles to compete in f our race.” the former Washington >; Senators pitcher added. "Here’s a ' horse who was 200 miles away and 1 his owner pulls him out of the j International eight years ago, was equally bitter. . Schapiro, who originated the , eight years ago, was equally bit- , ter. “We have had these disappointments in the past,” he said. “However, the hardest disappoint- > ment to accept is when a man .gives his word and then reneges.” : I Feared Muddy Track When informed of the statements issued by officials of the ■ Maryland track, Kerr found it i hard to control his temper. I “You can tell them I don't ‘igive a damn how they-feel about lit,” Kerr snapped. "We’ve re- ‘ tired Round Table and if they '(don't like it I’m sorry.” Kerr later simmered down and. explained he didn’t want to ship ‘ Round Table to Laurel and then scratch him from the International : if the track was muddy on the day of the race. “Everybody knows our horse doesn’t like an off track, so I figured it was best to retire him now and let some one else have a chance to run in the International,” he added. Independent League In Three Divisions The Vim independent basketball league will operate in three divisions during the 1959-60 season, with playing sites the Berne auditorium, Jefferson Center school in Whitley county, and St. John’s at Bingen. Fifteen teams have been signed and there are openings for three more. The final organization meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Vim store in Fort Wayne. Drawings will be made and the first half schedule drawn. All managers must be present. Officials who wish to work in the league are requested to register at the Vim. Adams Central Plans Pep Parade On Friday The Adams Central Pep club will sponsor a parade Friday at 2:30 p.m., kicking off the first rally for the Greyhound basketball team. All the clubs and organizations of the school will participate by decorating a float for the occasion. The three bands of Adams Central will follow the members of the basketball team, who will lead the parade on the Monroe fire engine. A pep session, led by the cheerleaders, will then be conducted in front of the school. The general public and fans of the Greyhounds are invited. The Greyhounds entertain Monmouth Friday night in the season opener. Over 2.500 Daily Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day. j

Tiny Horton Speaks At Booster Banquet

Burchard (Tiny) Horton, Decatur high school football coach from 1930-34, will be the main speaker at the Decatur Booster club banquet, Nov. », honoring the 1959 Yellow Jacket team. For the first time in the history of the booster banquets, the officers decided to open the sale of tickets to wives of members and those of the Rotarians and Lions, who will also participate in this year’s event. The Lions and Rotary clubs will join in the evening’s activities as a form of honoring the main speaker, who guided the Yellow Jackets to several good seasons while he was here. Friday Deadline Reservations must be turned in, at any of three places by Friday night as Dick Linn, director of the Youth and Community Center, must have an acurate count of the number attending. The banquet will start at 6:30 p.m. at the Center. Reservations may be called in at Holthouse on the Highway, D & T Standard Service, and Ray Eichenauer’s Insurance agency. While at Decatur, Horton coached many of the local athletic luminaries now prominent in Decatur activities. These men will be singled out at the banquet and Horton may have a few words to say about them. The parents of this year’s team members are also planning to attend to observe the occasion with their sons, who will be guests of the Bboster club. Horton, who played high school sports with Indiana University’s venerable mentor. Branch McCracken, moved to Mattoon, 111., after leaving Decatur, and won many laurels as several of his standouts gained fame at the Uni-50-yard Line Flashes By Jack Heller Just a few passing remarks oni the end of the season. This was a! bad year in many ways. Injuries kept the Jackets hobbled all season, and as the season progressed, the injuries got worse. Some real good football players were kept out of action some or all of the season because of injuries. Another thing that was bad was the attitude of some of the players. It is our hope that next year, coach Worthman lays the law down early and hard. We’ve never seen a football team where the players talk back to the coach like this version of the Jackets. MOst of them were giving their excuses faster than the coach could tell them their mistakes. The biggest mistake these players make is going out for football. We would like to congratulate Herb Banning on a great season. Herb is far from being football size, physically. He is nicely built young man, about five foot, nine, I and weighs close to 140 pounds. In heart, though, Herb is one of the biggest players we’ve ever seen. He never backed away from any-body-even though they outweighed him by 60 to 70 pounds. Herb made some mistakes, though not too many. But when he made a mistake, he acknowledged that mistake, and went back and didn’t make the same mistake again. The last two or three games, He wasn’t making mistakes, he had them all ironed out. Another Herb who did a fine job the last few games was Herb Magley. This sophomore charged more on defense than any other tackle we watched this year. He has things to learn—sometimes the runner got by him. But in the last half of the final game, after Herb had blocked a punt and repeatedly thrown the Concordia ball carriers for losses, the Cadets refused to even run over his position. I devoted quite a bit of space early in the season on Reidenbach and Gay. Someone (who didn’t have enough nerve to give their name) called up and asked if they were the only two players on the team. 1 wish whoever that was would have been sitting up at the Concordia game. If they were, I think they'll admit those two were missed. So much for football this year. We can look forward to next season enthusiastically—it can’t be any worse. Grantland Rice wrote some words that might offer some consolation to the team: "For when the one great Scorer comes to write against your name. He writes not that you won or lost, but how you played the game.” See you next year. Over 2,500 Dally Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur ach day.

Two LU. Players Quit Football Team BLOOMINGTON, Ind. <UPDTwo members of Indiana’s football varsity backfield have quit the Hoosier team, one because he didn’t play enough and the other because of lack of “desire.” Wingbacks Bill - Coleman of Evansville and Randy Williams of Gary announced that they will no longer play football for I.U Coleman, an All-State selection at Evansville Reitz High School, Evansville, Southern Illinois or Western Kentucky. “I wanted an education, but I wanted to play more ball, too," the sophomore back said. Williams, a junior said he lost the desire to play football after injuring and reinjuring his shoulder early in the season. “A football field is no place to be when you don’t have desire,"
