A PAIR OF DAMES OVER WEEKEND The Yellow Jackets of Cedarville college split their two week end en­ gagements winning from Indiana Tech on Saturday night 49-43 and then dropping, to Wilberforce in the first of their two meetings to decide the Greene county collegiate.champ­ ionship on Monday night 46-34. Both games were played on the opposit­ ion’s courts. The game scheduled for last Friday night at Alford Memorial gym with Georgetown Was postponed until Feb. 26, duo to the fact tha t the Kentuck­ ians felt the road too dangerous to attempt the trip by auto. . At Ft. Wayne against the Indiana Tech team on Saturday, the Jackets had things their own way. They jumped into an early lead and were never headed. At Wilberforce on Monday things were just the other way with the ‘Force out in front the- entire way. The next game for the double G boys will be on the local hardvoc next Monday night when they meet tiff hi. Added interest that night will be the preliminary which will pit the college freshman against a team composed of Coach Walker, and Ex-Coach Wallace, and some of the ither Greene county coaches with some other talent, local and other­ wise, thrown in for good measure. Coach Walker has commented, ‘We’ll do all right for the first half, but after that we’ll probably need crutches.” On next Thursday, Feb. 20, the Jackets will play Wilberforce on the local court. They will travel to Blufft- oil on Feb. 25 and on the following night will close the season against* Georgetown at Alford Memorial gym. Mother of Cedarville Man Dies on Friday Mrs. Cyntha J.
