YELLOW JACKETS DEFEAT GARRETT 1). H. S. Eleven Scores 8 To 0 Victory In Northeastern Indiana League Game * Decatur high school's Yellow Jackets showed considerable improvement Saturday and scored an 8 to 0 victory over the Garrett eleven in a Northeastern Indiana League football game, at Garrett. Decatur’s victory was more decisive than the score indicates, as practically all of the game was iplayed in Garrett’s territory. Fumbles and bad passes from center spoiled several other opportunities to score touchdowns. Neither team scored in the first half, although the Yellow Jackets advanced to within a few yards of the goal line. In the third quarter. Hill, giant Yellow Jacket tackle, blocked a Garrett punt near the goal line. The ball rolled over the goal line and a Garrett man grabbed the sphere. Hill tackled him back of the goal line for a safety, giving Decatur two points. Krick Gets Touchdown A few minutes later in the third quarter. Garrett was driven bat’k to within the shadow of the goal posts. The team lined up in punt formation, but the center made a bad pass to the kicker and Joe Krick, Decatur’s right end, broke through the Garrett line and fell on the ball back of the goal line for a touchdown. Anadell’s attempted place kick for the extra point failed. Anadell played the entire game at left half, although he had been unable to practice for more than a week on account of a sprained ankle. His ankle bothered him considerably Saturday, but he made several nice gains. Captain Chet Reynolds, at full hack, iplayed a steady game and made several long gains. He also caught one pass for several yards. In the line, Gerber, Hill and Krick played a great game. Gerber, who has been playing tackle this year, was shifted to end on the offense and Koos. end. was moved to the tackle position. This change seemed to improve the team’s offensive play. Coach Tyndall made only two substitutions during the game, sending Stoneburner in for Roop for several minutes in the first half and Hilyard in for Cole during the second half I The Decatur line-up at the start of the game was: Krick, right end; Hill, r ght tackle; Cole, right guard; Kiess center; Butcher, left guard; Koos, left tackle; Gerber, left end; Bell, quarter; Roop, right half; Anadell. left half; Reynolds, fullback. The Yellow Jackets came out of the game in fine shape and were to 1 start work this evening in preparation! for the game with Columb a City here | Friday afternoon. Columbia City holds the lead in the Northeastern Ind ana League standing, with two victories and no defeats, having won from Bluffton and Auburn. The Yellow Jackets moved up to third posit'on in the standing with their viclory over Garrett Saturday.

FOOTBALL TEAMS ARE WARMING BP Most Os Big College Teams Scheduled To Open Season Next Saturday By Gene Hoffman (I N S Staff Correspondent) Chicago. Sept. 2ff —(Big Ten foot>all squads today settled down to their final week of Intensive drill preparatory to Saturday’s opening of the Inei collegiate schedule. Although the Western Conference season does not open until October 8. all of the Big Ten teams have games, scheduled with “trial horses” for this coming Saturday. These ‘warming up” contests are important in that they reveal just how good or how bad the various championship contenders may prove to be the coaches view these games with the interest of a machanic who has built a nachine and sees it in operation for he first time. The weak points are ferreted out and the "machine” groomed for the first real test of the season Saturday’s games are scheduled as follows: Oklahoma at Chicago, Bradley at Illinois, Indiana at Lexington, Monmouth it lowa, Ohio Wesleyan at Michigan, No. th Dakota at Minnesota, South Dakota at Northwestern, Wittenberg at )hio State,, Depauw at Purdue and Cornell la. at Wiscosin. , ■ Scarcely any of the Big Ten teams lave escaped without some heartbreaking pre-sea/on reversal. From the failure of fqrmer stars to re-enter school —such as Frosty Peters of Ill;nois—to illness and injury of regular Mayers, misfortune has taken its toll in every camp. Several impqrtant changes in long established coaching staffs and many new rules of play are other consideraious that make the opening and subsequent trend of the 1927 season one if the most uncertain In the history of he Western conference. Reports from the various mid-west Bailiwicks indicate that all of the earns are shaping up as well as could be expected. Sammy Babcock seems to have clinched a half position on the Michigan varsity squad. Among the Wolverine newcomers who look good are Nyland, Nicholson, Waldner and Carter, all inemen. The team will practice siglals and formations today and tomor- . ow. and scrimmage on Wednesday and Thursday. » Coach.

One feature' if Hanley’s system will be the elimi-l tation of the huddle. The loss of Ralph “Moon” Bakf-r is viewed as a severe blow to Northwestern, the team that tied Michigan last year for the championship. Coach Jack Wilace of Ohio State expressed himself well pleased with the showing his regulars made against the reserve team Saturday. The regulars won, 13 to 0, with Eby and Marek starring in long-distance runs. While the backfield at Chicago is ighter than it has been in many years, coach Stagg believes the added speed >f his principal candidates will offset the matte- of weight. He is also well supplied with pnnting talent Bur Tess and mendenhall ate two of the most promising backs so far develo]ed. Northeastern Indiana H. S. League Standing 1 W*L Pct.'

“Dead Man” Play Works Well ' Every Saturday ot Season By SOL METZGER 1 THINK this old play* works on eohin gr.dlron for a touchdown ' The whole stunt is based on the fait that n team ta ' r n ," f 7Sam calling a signal Ami when they do they usually catch the definite sleeping. - " ' ' , * — 9 F 7 F \l// : £ T G C c T ” E T/G J/// ■ o © \ : (5) © X / 1 A ( I 111 i— y In 1915 Montana was playing Washington State College and was leading 7-0. Whereupon this series of plays was called. A keyed signal was given calling for two plays, the first merely to get the Washington team -et for the second. Ob the first play the ball was snapped to the fullback, the biack dot in the left diagram, and he merely ran at the defensive right tackle on the short side of his line. Dick Hanley, present Northwestern coach, carrieiLthe ball. As he was being downed by Montana his teammates lined up as shown in the diagram on the right, Hanley placing himself over the ball as the center. As you can see the Washington line outHanked the Montana line so much that Montana’s left ed was even included , in the flank. Immediately, and long (before Montana expected it, Hanley snapped the ball to Cart D etz. No. 1, in the second diagram, who was off like a shot around the right end, his two backs and most of his line leading him in the interference. The Montana team was caught flat-footed, entirely unprepared for a p’ay by Washington State, and Dietz ran 65 yards for a touchdown. Wash'ngton later won the game 27-7. The success of this play aga'n in 1917 for Washington State made such a strong impression on Diuk Hanley, an All-Pacific Coast back, that he > li-ter used it in his coaching. Hanley even used the series justxdescribed when playing on the Mare Island Marines aga nst the Mather Field Aviators during the World War, when the latter team contained veterans like Jimmy DeHart, former Pitt star, who knew the play we l. Tomorrow 1 will describe how Hanley fooled them with a nfw version of the pay. Copyright, 1927, Publishers Syndic'a te.

JACK'S MANAGER STILL PROTESTING Flynn Not Finished With His Swan Song; Has Dis- , ferent Steps In Mind Chicago, Sept. 26. — (UP)—The Illinois boxing commission wh’ch has officially declared the decision in the Tunney-Dempsey fight satisfactory and according to Hoyle, was to learn today that Leo Flynn, manager of Jack Dempsey, the loser, has not finished his swan song. The exact purpose of prolonging the melody was obscure, hut there | were hints that Flynn, in continuing I his protest against the long count given Gene Tunney in the seventh round, might have in,mind: An appeal to the public for a third meeting between the heavyweight ■ champion and the -former champion. Appeals to boxing commissions of | other states to recognize Dempsey I and not Tunney as champion, j An appeal to the national board of I boxing commission for a holding adverse to the Illinois commission which read: "My manager, Leo P. Flynn, and myself are preparing a formal letter which will arrive at your offices Tuesday morning asking you to re verse the decision and declare Jack , Dempsey the. winner by a knockout over Gene Tunney. “Jack Dempsey.” Flynn previously attempted to file a protest with the commission in which he declared that Tunney was on the t’oor for between 13 and 16 . seconds Thursday night and that Dempsey had scored a knockout. That Tunney was down 13 seconds was admitted by all concerned, but R"feree Dave Barry did not start to count over Gene until Dempsey got to a neutral corner as required by I Ninols rules. This process required four seconds. Flynn was not permitted to file the appeal because he had no contract ' with Dempsey and the appeal was not s gned by the compiaintant. The telegram to the commission was made public shortly before departure of Dempsey and his manager for New York yesterday. The official position of the state boxing commission, as stated by John Righeimer, chairman, was as follows: , “The commission is satisfied the I fight between Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey was held under the rules as understood by both fighters. The fight is a closed incident. Although ' Flynn is entitled to a hearing if he wants it, I cannot see how anything he might say could alter the unanimous decision of the commission” | • With departure of Dempsey and ; I

Now take Columbia City into camp. Those Columbia City gridsters ought to be getting pretty cocky by the time they get here next Friday, having licked Bluffton and Auburn consecutively. On the other hand, the Yellow Jackets haven’t anything to-4e cocky over yet, having lost to Auburn and beaten Garrett only 8 to 0 after Fort Wayrih Central downed the Garrett eleven 31 to 0. But that victory Saturday shows that the locals can turn the trick. Bluffton’s Tigers took a terrible lacing at the hands of the Goshen Red Menace Saturday, 47 to 0. That was a bad score, but a good ball c'.ub did it. Decatur’s line continued to show up strong Saturday. Some of those boys will receive some statewide mention before the sea-

5c TURNS ' THE TRICK It Buys a Real Cigar—Ripe, Rich, Mellow and Mild We can’t blame you for not believing it. You’ve been reading for years about cigars priced at five cents and “worth more.” Perhaps you’ve tried a few and sworn off. Perhaps you say, “can’t be done.” It can be done, men. It’s being done right now. Volume production makes it possible. The cigar is selling by the million at five cents today. And we mean it's good. It’s fragrant and satisfying from the first puff. It’s made of ripe tobacco, in a model factory, by one of the best known makers itr the world. The name is Havana Ribbon. You can buy it at any cigar store in town. Forget your old-time prejudices, Shoot a nickel and light up. Put Havana Ribbon to every smoke test you know. Notice its flavor and aroma. Then ask your- . self honestly if Havana Ribbon isn’t I a cigar after your own heart, price regardless.
