YELLOW JACKETS TO BATTLE OLD RIVALS

BLUFFTON TIGERS WILL INVADE CITY Ancient Rivals To Clash In Big Football (lame Here Wednesday Afternoon Decatur will take on the atmosphere of a college town Wednesday aftermen. when Decatur high school's Yellow Jackets clash With their ancient foes, the Bluffton Tigers, in n football game on Niblick Field. The Decatur Junior band will be out to furnish music, the uptown stores will close and the colors of the two schools will be floating from lamp posts and other points of vantage throughout the business district. The kick-off is scheduled for 3 o'clock. Cal Peterson, president of tire Industrial Association today called upon all merchants on Second street in regard to closing and practically all were enthusiastically in favor of the move. The following stores will close from 3 to 5 o’clock: all shoe stores, all clothing stores, all dry goods stores, the jewelry stores, the notion stores, all furniture stores and all but one of the grocery stores. Band To Play The Junior band will give a free concert on the court house square at 2:15 o'clock. After playing uptown for fifteen minutes, the band vi 11 proceed to Niblick Field. where it will play several more selections. Yel'ow Jackets hopes received a blow yesterday evening when Roy Anadell. regular halfback, turned an ankle in practice. Anadell has been handicapped by a sprained ankle most of the season and yesterday's injury may keep him out of the Bluffton game and possibly the remaining games on the schedule. Coach Tyn-' dall has some capable substitutes to send into the lineup, however, and the Yel’ow Jackets will present « strong lineup against the Tigers tomorrow. The Yellow Jackets have played four games this season, winning two, losing one and playing one tie. They lost to Auburn. 6-2: won from Gar, rett, 8-0; tied Columbia City, 6-6; and defeated Concordia College, of Fort Wayne, 12-7. Last year. Bluffton de- ’ seated Decatur. 3-0 in a game played at Bluffton. This was the first time Bluffton had defeated Decatur in a football game for many years. Bluffton has strengthened considerab’y during the last two weeks. After losing their first three games to Columbia City, Goshen and Hunt- 1 ingion, the Tigers came to life and 1 defeated Fort Wayne Central, 12-6. Last Saturday, they played a 6-6 tie 1 with thei Portland Panthers. The high schools is so intense that both teams usually rise to their greatest strengh in this annual game. Scores of fans will accompany the Bluffton team to Decatur. If the weather is favorable, it is expected that a thousand people will witness the game. A pep session will be held in ’he Decatur h'gh school gymnasium at 7:30 o’clock this evening. The public as well as the high school pupils are urged to attend. There will be speeches, songs and yells. —~i o — — John Lind, of Cincinnati, Ohio, spent Sunday here visiting his cousin, Miss Madgeline Miller, who has beer, seriously ill for the last two months, but who is now recovering at her home on Adams street. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Boknecht and Mrs. Lase Ellis, of.Decatur, and Mrs. Hudson, of Indianapolis, motored to Cassopolis, Michigan, today for a visit. OUCH! BACKACHE!

The Fourth Down By Willie Punt

If these high school kids are any more excited than wc are over the impending battle between the Yellow Jackets and their ancient rivals, the Bluffton Tigers here tomorrow, it must i>e punishment for them to sit in their seats and study. The uptown merchants have shown their Ipyalty to the team by announcing that they will close during the game tomorrow. And they will not stop at merely closing their stores, but you can expect to see them on the sioelines rooting for a victory. Roy Anadell had the misfortune to turn h's "game" ankle again in practice yesterday evening. The injury was not a serious one, but it may keep Roy out of the game tomorrow. Tough luck. Roy. but your teammates will carry on if you don't get in the game. Bluffton's Tigers and fans have their eyes focused on the battle here tomorrow, If the columns in the News and Banner are to be taken as a criterion. Here’s a few excerpts from the Bluffton papers: "Time was when opposing teams ran up embarrassing scores against our Tiger gridders, but not now. Over at Portland the count was even, but we understand that the Tigers really .played better ball and that the breaks were igainst them. But Wednesday is the day that counts."—Rip Offs, Bluffton News. "The Tigers are turning toward Decatur, the home of the Yellow Jackets. The Tigers will go to Decatur Wednesday to meet their ancient foe and a regular old-time Bluffton-Deca-tur classic is in progress. The first •>; the reason saw Decatur putting up a better brand of ball and at that t'nie. the dope favored them, hut with the Tigers showing a steady progress, the dope now seems to be even. The figlitin'est, scrappin'est team is gonna win that game, is our guess, so get ready. Tigers!"—Gridiron Dope, The Banner. * | y _Lu,‘j —, ■ - ■ for the T g'" football team this even-1 ing. Practice was to start at 4:30 o'clock and continue until probably 8 o'clock. Several shifts will be made in the lineup of the Tiger team for the Decatur game Wednesday.”—' Gridiron Dope, The Banner.

Il “Talker Play” May Be Used By Crowley Against Colgate !l Ry SOL METZGER ■ GAINING ground through the Hue is no mean feat in footkill. Some teams 1 have the man power to do it. Others must ne-d depend up m deceptloi k even for this task. Ami now and then deception turns the nek Au old I stunt that lias been used bv Rockite and many others has been the t iisot F Play" or "quarrel play." There are Infinite varieties. Notre Dome once defeated Indiana in n close batTe becuiis.- the late George Glpp eon<eiveil of a talker play on the field when N Are Dunns defense had been : opt <1 “ lust short of the goal. A wluu ug score resulted. <£—® 0 > ' - jXiXT Ho. 4- BaxK lf> ' E JjP Q E 'The Tai Kev 1 I cP i * X ’ H w One variety occurred in the South in a high school game I once saw that beat anything along this line. One of the backs got into a heated argument . with his captain, threw his head gear to the ground and stinted for tlie s deline with the cutting remark that he'd never play under such a dumbbell. • When he reached the side-line the ball was snapped into play and the cap1 tain's recent enemy beat it down the field with no one near him a'l set to > catch a forward pass and score.’ Unfortunately, for my story, the pass went wild. Against Cornell last season Columbia used its “talker play" effectively. No. 4 back arose to make remarks, the object being to cause the Cornell forwards to raise up from the'r charging positions. That makes it easy for the offensive line to charge them back and to the side and open a hole for a plunging back. As tIW> liall is snappt d. No. 3 back runs to the left with his headgear under his arm. That is for the purpose of drawing a defensive back or rwo out of the play. No. 1 gets the ball and drives stra'ght ahead. Cornell was caught on it ' and a tine gain resulted. On such a p"ay the end farthest from it usjiafiy cuts through ahead to take a defensive back

saw game at Columbia City, last Saturday a Columbia City newspaper reporter dashed out onto the field and yelled, “look at this man,” pointing to a Warsaw play- : er who had just made a rrtce tackle in open field. The Columbia City team was penalized 15 yards for the reporter's exhibition. Wonder what the reporter put down on his note pad. The News-Sentinel published the alleged official standing in the Northeastern Indiana conference again yi sterday and again Decatur was omitted entirely. The NS has Columbia City playing a tie game with Auburn, instead of with Decatur, as it should be. — Wednesday afternoon, 3 o'clock, Niblick Field. *. . . . . <•«,-— ‘J- — ■ Notice The Lepird Shoe Store will remain open until 6:30 o’clock each evening for the benefit of the Sugar factory employees. 245-31 —o Dance — this week.
