YELLOW JACKETS BOW TO AUBURN Upstate Eleven Scores Touchdown On Decatur Fumble, Winning 6-0 Scooping up a Decatur tumble on his own 25-yard line, Mannon, Auburn half back, raced over the goal line and i gave his teKm a 6-0 victory over the Decatur high school Yellow • in the first football game of the seasen for both teams, at Auburn last Saturday. This lone touchdown came tn the third quarter and was the turn Ing point in a hotly contested battle, Outside of the one lucky break on which Auburn scored, the game was evenly fought throughout. Decatur 1 threatened to score twice in the first ( quarter, but penalties and fumbles , spoiled their chances. Both teams , played ragged ball at times and show,- | ed the need of much more practice and conditioning. < Yellow Jackets Threaten Eearly Decatur kicked off to start the game , and Auburn fumbled. A Yellow Jacket , recovered the ball and Acker and Reynolds carried the pigskin for a first , down. On the next play, "Red" Acker ( placed the ball on the Auburn one- . yard line. With a touchdown in tjieir grasp, the Yellow Jackets were pens- ( lized 15 yards when Brown was caught , holding with his elbow and Decatur fumbled on the next play and Auburn recovered. The home team ( kicked out of danger. Again, the Yell t ♦ ow Jackets marched down the fie.d ( to the 10-yard line, but lost the ball] cn a fumble. Captain Acker received ( an injury to his left leg when he wa- < tackled and the injury slowed him < down greatly during he remainder of the game. He made no more gains. Auburn Scores on Fumble ( Auburn’s touchdown came late in | the third quarter. Captain Acker, ap- 11 parant y sti’.l suffering greatly from ; his injury, allowed tn Auburn kick f to roll to the Decatur five yard line, j without attempting ’. > return it. Then cn an off tackle play a few minutes later. Reynolds fumbled and Mannon, of Auburn picked up the ball and , raced for a touchdown. The try for extra point failed. Later. Auburn re 1 covered a fumble and had the ball on the 7-yard line, but the Yellow Jack- j ets strengthened and held for downs. , For Decatur. Anadell, left end. made 1 some nice gains on end runs from the full back position, but was weak on defense. Covault flayed a nice game, making many tackles, blocking two j long passes and carrying the ball for i several gains. Blown played a great I game until he was penalived for hold ing, but from then on appeared to be , unable to forget his temper. Bebout, at center, made, seven) bad pas <■' ‘ the backfield, slowing up the offense, I but played a nice defensive game. Al . flashes of teamwork and fomnati brains, but lor the most pari were weak and ragged. Joe Krick, right end. was dazed by a hard tackle in the fii t quarter and was weakened con siuerably during the remainder of the game. Funk Stars Foi Auburn , Funk, the big Auburn center, was the star of the contest. He stopped nine out of evety ten Decaur plays and often threw a Yellow Jacket for a loss. Several times, he was called back to carry the ball and he made long gains. However, his spectacular playing was •narred by two eases of unnecessary loigbness. He was penalized twice for kicking and slugging. The new men on the Yellow Jackets eleven gave a good account of themselves, but did not have the usual amount of Yellow Jacket fight and determination? The team needs much hard practice to train and condition the players. The line must be strengthened so that the backfield will have more protection and interference. Van Wert Is Next The Yellow Jackets will go to Van Wert. Ohio, next Saturday to play the Van Wert Eleven. Tills is expected to be a difficult game, ns the Buckeyes have turned out a powerful team each season for several years. Captain Acker is expected to be back in condition by next Saturday. The Decatur lineup at Auburn was as follows: Krick, right end: Anderson, rfcht tackle; Butcher, right guard; Bebout center; Kiess,-left guard; Gerber, left tackle; Anadell, left end, Reynolds, right half: Brown, left half; Acker, fullback; Covault, quarter. Substitutions: Frisinger for Acker; Lankenau for Gerber. i o—- —■ — Buy a half acre tract or a lot in beautiful Bellmont Park at your own price. Easy Terms. Saturday, Oct. 2nd at 2 9. i

'SJ y- - — ' The Work of the World Approximately 2,842,000,000 gallons of gasoline were produced from heavier oils by the use of cracking processes in 1925, according to an information circular issued by the U. S. Bureau of Mines. Assuming that 400 gallons of gasoline represents the fuel . requirements of the average car per rear. the Bureau of Mines’ statement means that the development of cracking processes, in which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a leader, ’was responsible in 1925 for adding to the •T | automotive* Measured thus in terms of automobile transportation, the relation of the cracking process to modem life is readily understood. Its importance can be better appreciated by some knowledge of the problem it has helped to solve. During the ten "year period, 1916 to 1925, the production of crude oil increased 152% while the number of cars and trucks registered increased 472%. t A tremendous increase in demand for gasoline, the finished product, without a corresponding increase in the supply of crude, the raw material, presented a real problem. * Experts predicted there would not be enough gasoline to go around and that prices would soar prohibitively. Today with approximately 21,000,000 registered automobiles in the country, it is obvious that their predictions would have materialized but for a revolutionary discovery. Scientists in the laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) discovered and developed processes for producing gasoline by cracking which more than doubled the yield from crude oil. 1 The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) leased the processes . which belonged to it exclusively, to competitors. ! That the 21,000,000 motorists in the United States today are able to buy all the gasoline th« need at a law price is due in large measure to the scientific work of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and its integrity of purpose in passing on the benefits of that work. This important scientific service of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is but one incident in its long record j of unwavering loyalty to the motoring public. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud of the i- work it has done, for it believes that any contribution to 5 the work of the world—large or small—justifies a legiti- , mate pride when it represents the utmost ability of an v individual or an organization. e The extent of the service which the Standard Oil Company d (Indiana) wishes to render to the thirty million people of the Middle West is limited only by its ability. ir ‘ \ >1 Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Building K 910 S.
