YELLOWJACKETS TIE AUBURN, H Hot Weather Slows Ip Opening Grid Game; Locals Lose Chance Th* Decatur high school Yellow i Jackets hud to content themselves themselves with a 6 G tie in their opening football game of the season with the Auburn high school eleven on Ahr's Field Saturday afternoon. The day wu ideal for a baseball t'am£, but as a football game it funned out. Th,- mercury hovered-around Sj or 90 degrees. The Yellow Juck-ts start,.! ot. strong and carried th.- nght to their I opponents throughout lite first halt of the game. Receiving the openin,: kick-off. they carried the bell to with in u few yards of the goal, only to lose it on downs. At least two or thre other times they were within scoring distance during the first and st- ond I quarters, before "Red” Acker, th I Blunging half-back, crashed through

plunging naii-0:.,K, crasui-n uuvwii for a touchdown. The ball wa.-t in Auburn territory throughout tin fir,: and second quarters, with the <x option of the one instance, when Silberg snagged a pass and raced 4o yards for a touchdown late in the sec ond quarter, after Coach Marshall had made three substitutions in the backfield. Second Half Is Even. Auburn pepped up during the set ond half, probably due to the leetttr ing the players received from Coach Young, and the half was evenly fought, with both teams fumbling often and failing to deliver at th proper time. The Yellow Jackets made a creditable showing in their first appearance of the season, considering the tact that several of them were playing their first game. With more prai lice and experience. Coach Marshall men ought to develop into a'fairly strong eleven. Probably the most clever piece of football displayed during the game was the return of a punt in the last quarter, by Uoodelmier. Auburn qimri er back. With perfect inter!,'remand clever side-stepping, Uoodelmier returned the bull from his own 20yard line to the 40-yard line, iiefor, be was downed. / Following is a summary of h quarter of the game: First Quarter.

Saturday, the score ■would have been about 100-0 in favor of Auburn. Thanks to a group of about 10 girls, who formed a little circle and gave a fewyells. that part of the game was not entirely neglected. Several times, the YellowJackets had the ball within a few feet of the goal, and if they had heard the rest of the high school giving the high school yells and pleas for fight, under the direction of a fighting yell leader, they more than likely could have put the necessary punch into the play to score a touchdown. Organized rooting works wonders. __ ——J n . i -

= D.H.S.TEAM TO ! PLAY SOUTH BEND Yellow Jackets Schedule Gaine With Upstaters For September 26 Principal Walter Krick, of Decatur high school, announced today that he had completed negotiations with Southi Bend high school for a football gumoi 1 between the I). 11. S. Yellow Jackets and the upstate team on Saturday. September 26. The game will bi' played In South Bend. The Notre Dame university eleven will play, Baylor in South Bend on the same, date and Coach Marshall anil his warriors will have an opportunity to seo| h Rockne's men in act on, as the high school game will be played be-; fore the college contest. With the addition of the Souta Bend game, the Yellow Jackets have nine games schedul'd for th', season.! South Hend high school has a habit of turning out strong elevens and this year it not expected to be an exception. However, a story in a South 3end paper states that the squad lacks weight this season, tile average of the players not exceeding 130 pounds. The Yellow Jackets will have! i higher average than that, it is believed. Following is a story taken!

J from a South Bend paper, which gives : tn account of the scheduling of the game and tells about the prospects ot the upstate eleven: "Coach Elmer If. P.uinham yesterday completed negotiations with Decatur, Ind.. High school whereby that . school will play the Orange and Blue n the locals’ opening game of the . year here on Sept. 26. "Decatur supplants Bryan, O-. on th- 1 card, the Buckeye school being unable to accept the inaugural tilt after it was first believed they would be able to come While little is known of this year’s . Decatur team, last fall this school < was represented with one of the toughest outfits in southern Indiana ( Decatur gave the Muncie Bearcats. ( me of the strongest high school ] teams in Indiana, last fall, about the toughest battle the latter experienced j 1! season. I "Coach Burnham, and members of 1 the squad, do not anticipate an easy ■ ■ struggle with the Decaturlans by any ■ means. They may even prove too tough lor the locals in the opening engagement. "With just two weeks to prepare his proteges for the opening struggle, the local mentor intends to drive his men relentlessly. Inclement weather yesterday afternoon prevented outdoor practice of any sort, and this set the '

locals back a day. Every day counts now. | "Skull practice constituted the program for the gridders Monday, the ( local coach rehearsing the 112 eandl- , dates in minor details of the game The new rues were also touched , upon. "This afternoon on intensive workout is carded for Kaley park field. ( The squad will be divided into teams, with monogram men as captains, and will engage in a heavy workout. A long signal drill will wind up the afternoon’s toil "The turnout at South Bend high, school this fall contrasts favorably with that at Mishawaka. Elkhart and other schools in this viciinty. according to those who have glimpsed the squads at other schools around here. Lack of weight seems to be the biggest handicap with the locals, most of the candidates failing to tip the beam at more than 130 pounds, as an average. While beef is not absolute-1 ly essential, it certainly comes in handy." — o— —— > YESTERDAY’S RESULTS ♦ National League. New York, 6; Chicago. 2. Brooklyn. 4; St. Louis, ft.
