ALUMNI GAME NEXT SATURDAY Yellow J a c k e t s To Open Season With Old Grads; Lineups Announced The football game between the Decatur high school Yellow Jackets and the high school alumni will be played Saturday afternoon of this week, instead of Friday, as was originally planned. The game will start at 2 p. m. It likely will be played on the field near the South Ward school, since the continued rains have made it impossible for the players to work out on the Niblick field, just east of the river. The lineups for the two beams were announced today. The alumni | will have a formidable bunch of former stars on the gridiron. The alumni lineup will be: Christen, right en; Macklin, right tackle; Mills. ■ night guard; Clark, center; Leßrun, left guard; Meyers, left tackle; Lammiman, left end; Miller, right halt; Breiner, left half; Bogner, full back; and Swearingen, quarter back. Frisinger. Laurent, Myers and Andrews will be substitutes. Coach Marshall announces that his team will be heavier this year than last season's eleven, but the players will be younger in the game. Bebout. last year's captain, at center, 1 and Anderson, at tackle, are the only veterans in the line. Kiess and Bu|cher or Musser, at guards, will be heavy, but green. Gerber, right tackle, and Krick, Anadel or Bell on the end positions are also new but very strong and promising players. The backfield material is more experienced and older. Captain Acker will call signals from his position at left half. Chet Reynolds is back in his old position at right half and is expected to go much bet'ier than he did last year. Brown looks like the best Vet at full back and probably w.ll carry the brunt of the interference. Magley, Zwick, Bell or Anadel are other candidates for backfield positions. | There is a large number of candidates for all positions, waiting for a chance to play for D. H. S. H lyard and C. SmiCh should get into a few games at guard or tackle. Koos and Frisinger are light, but have had more experience. Cole and Hebble are tall, but slender and need toughening. W. Kiess, Haubold, Stoneburner. Roop. Malonee, Green, Reber, Hines, Somers. Hill, Graber, Miller, D. Smith, and others have just reported to the coach and have not had much of a chance to show the'r wares, so far. Following Day Os Rest Stroudburg, Pa., Sept. 9.—(Uinted' Press • —Gene Tunney may or may not meet his saprring partners today—’ but the chance is he will. A complete day of rest, enlivened only by a long walk, yesterday put the challenger to Dempsey's crown in fine fettle. He was likely to crave combat. Tunney has been genially irked by the "seclusion" here, Despite all hopes of the challenger for peace and quiet, photographers, motorists, and fight tans swarm each day the vicinity of his headquarters The most inviting time of the day, according to some of his intimates is during the morning hours when he does his road work. Out along woodland lanes, he has spent many hours, many more than necesary to cover the mileage he is said to cover.

The Fourth Down I 1 By Willie Punt Since the Yellow Jackets are back In their harness, the old swimmin* pool is deserted and Mr. Harold Grange is about ready to lay down his ice tongs and pick up the much lighter pig skin, it must be time to start the old column again. Thirty-three candidates • for positions on the D. H. S. eleven are working out daily now. Prospects are far from dim in the Yellow Jacket camp. The lid-opener is scheduled for Saturday afternoon of this week, when Coach Marshall's Yellow Jackets meet the alumni. The exYellow Jacket* are itching to show their successors how its done. They have a right decent looking lineup, too. That gamp next Saturday ought to give Marshall’s men a lot of good practice in preparation for the game at Auburn the following Saturday. Several promising candidates are green at the game and actual playing experience is what is needed to put them in shape. An awful growl has been coming forth from the lair of the Bluffton Tigers during the last two weeks. The Tigers have a new coach this fall and he must be a mean guy, judging from his name. Louis T. Means. Anyway, it has been said in Bluffton this fall that the Tigers won’t be Taggers all fall. The Portland Panthers have a i new trainer in their cage this fall, too. His name is Harold I Powell. Welcome to this neck of ! the woods. Harold. Wonder if , his nickname is “Red.” The bad feature about the Yellow lackets' schedule this fall is that vnly tjwo games are to be played on he home lot. Guess we'll all have o take in the alumni game next Saturday to get enough football this fall. But, then, there’s no reason why the ■Decatur fans can’t see several other ;ames played by the Yellow Jackets this fall, since they play in Bluffton. Van Wert. Auburn, Garrett and Colum. ; .
