I turned Johnson's S yard punt a. out 10 yards. During the remainder of the first quarter, the visitors had a slight edge and when the quarter ended ’he I ba 1 was tn Deuptur's possession on its i ownUyard line After two failures to tain ground Andereor dropped buck for a punt, but the bad pats went over Anderson’s head, and Bash fell -on the ball tor the only Centra! score During the latter part of the secon. 1 quarter. Decatur shoved, the ball J >wn to the Central 5-yard line, when, the time keeper's gun warded off an almost certain score by the locals. Yellow Jacket* Rally The entire Decatur team showed more strength in the second half and after a series of line drives, a pass and a costly Fort Wayne fumble, ’he Yellow Jackets carried the ball ‘to the 1-foct line with one down to push the ball ever. On the next play, Brown shoved through the centfr of a heavy Fort Wayne line and pushed the ball across the line about three or four feet. / In the fourth quarter. Fort Wayne made a strenuofls effort to untie the game and. with two minutes to play, it appeared as if the visitors Mould make It hot for the local team. Two completed pusses placed the bill in Decatur territory, and on the first down with 10 yards to go, AmrleU jumped high into the air to snag a long high Fort Wayne pass. He stopp ed for only a seoond and then smashed through six Fort Wayne players who rushed at him ft on; all sides, crossed the goal line, amid the cheer- . ing and shouting of the 300 Decatur fans who had hoped for just that sort of play. Entire Team Plays Well It would be impossible to single out one or two Decatur players who did unusually well. The entire team work-' ed like a bunch of veterans, always keeping the IttApvier, older visiting outfit on the defensive All of the back-i field took turns carrying the ball *oi ’good gains and the line held when openings meant possible scores, for the Central team.

— The Fourth Down By Willie Punt

Did those Yellow Jackets fight? Ask the Central Tigers. Nice going. Yellow Jackets. You're winn ng back tuat, lost prestige by leaps and bounds. It took just eleven player* to lick those Tigers. Coach Marshill did not make a substitution during the contest. They kept up their fight right through to the end, even after the Tigers had taken the lead on a fumble in the first quarter. Thanks! "We congratulate Decatur. The Yellow Jackets humbled Central of Fort Wayne by a 12 to 6 score yes- , terday. Decatur started slowly but. like the Vikings, is proving that a poor start may mean a strong finish.” Huntington Press The Huntington Vikings defeated their alumni Friday, 13-6. They have a good chance of beating Peru next week-end. I ’ Misplaced Confidence “Many fans were expected to follow the Tigers to Decatur and were confident that the Blue would at least equal or surpass last season's 22 to 6 victory."— Fort Wayne News • Sentinel, (Saturday.) Emerson high of Gary went'a long way towards winning the state high ' school title last Saturday by beating the Wabash Thom Cats, at Wabash 13-0. According to Sidelines, in the Huntington Press, who saw the gihne., Emerson was pretty lucky to win the game. Ross, as usual, starred for Wabash with his sensational broken field running. — Those Bluffton Tigers were m. I —

tried and found wanting again Saturday. The Portland Panther* licked 'em 2M. Bluffton ■cored first and tfie flrtt half ended 66, but the Panther* forged ahead in the thlrtfc- quarter. Buckner, who write* "Grid Dope" for the Bluffton Banner, say* he ic go.ing to foot ball column stuff. Stick it out, i Buc|<. Vou know a columnist'* real' worth is tested when he i« backing a losing team. Basketball columns are beginning to blosscßi forth In large numbers. Our good friend "Rip Offs' has opened up shop in the Bluffton News again.* Tommy Thompon haa revived his column. "Time Out." in the Frankfort, Morning Times. Rip Offs includes the following hot shot) in his 1926-27 debut: -We note in Willie Punt's excellent column in the Decatur Democrat that the game last night at Ossian was the first this year for the Kirkland Kangaroos We'd suggest that outside trams pick on different meat than that found In Wells county with which to start their season.”, The local merchants decorated again for the game last Saturday and the business disirjet looked fine before the heavy rain came along at the noon hour and soaked tjyings. The Yellow Jacket* have an open date next week-end. On Saturday, October 30. they go to Garrett. There is an open date on the next week-end, also, and the schedule ends on Saturday. Nov. 13. when the Yellow Jackets go to Bluffton to have a friendly little argument with the Tigers. Purdue showed strength Saturday in holdjng the Wisconsin team to a scoreless tie. Indiana played good ball for three quarters and held the powerful Northwestern Wild Cats scoreless, but the Hoosiers weaken■ed in the fourth period and allowed the Wild Cals to score three touchdowns to win 20-ft Notre Dame ex hibited plenty of power, also, in downing Penn, 28-0.
