! US,TH START [FOOTBALL AUG. 22 I Yellow Jackets To Begin Practice With Prospects Os Strong Team Practice for the candidates for the Decatur high school football team will start ru Monday, August 22. Coach Ralph Tyndall announced today. Coach Tyndall, who is attending Muncie Normal College this summer, was hoiiie over me week end, making ar .alignments for starting practice. Thi Yellow Jackets will practice and, in all probability, play tljeir games on Niblick Field, just east of the Monroe . street river bridge this fail. ; Considerable new equipment will be - nurchased for the team this fall. Coach • Tyndall said. New pants and shoulder - pods will be bought for the ends and •' hackfield, while new -hoes and head- ■ gears will be purchased for the entire team. New jerseys were bought last year. ’ Coach Tyndall will be assisted by Herb Curtis, athletic director and head b. sKethall, tr ick and baseball coach | If possible, practice will be held each mdrnlng and afternoon during the week preceding the opening of school on Monday, September 5. Prospects Are Bright Prospects tor the strongest team that has represented D. 11. S. in recent years are bright at present. In backfield. Anadell and Captain Chet Reynolds. last year's letter men, will be available this year. Bill Bell, who was forced out of the game early in the season last year on account of a broken aim. will be available for the quarterback job. There are other very likely prospects for the backfield jobs. Indications are that the Yellow Jackets will have a heavy and powerful line this year. Gerber and Krick, veteran ends, will be on the squad this fall. Kiess, regular center ,is back and Butcher, last year's guard, should he a ” power in the line this year. Hillyard, who showed promise in the line last year, is expected to put up a hard fight for a regular job. Bob Hill, who was ineligible for varsity competition last fall, will fit in at a tackle job nicely, it is thought. Stoakes, son of the Rev. It. W. Stoakes. has had some football experience at Greenfield high school, and will be out for a jab in the center of the Yellow Jackets' line. His size and experience should make him valuable. There are others from last year's squad and several freshmen who are expected to form valuable material for Coaches Tyndall and , Curtis. An attractive schedule of seven games has been arranged for the Yellow Jackets this fall. Five of the seven contests will be played on the home gridiron. The season will open on September 17. with the Auburn eleven! furnishing the opposition on the Decatur gridiron. The complete schedule is as follow. Sept. 17—Auburn, here Sept. 24 —Garrett, there. Sept. 30 —Columbia City. here. Oct. B—Portland,8 —Portland, there. Oct. 19 —Bluffton, here. Oct. 22 — Fort Wayne Nat th Side, here. Oct. 29 —Kendallville, here. ______ o RYE, N.
