YELLOW JACKETS WALLOP AUBURN Decatur High Quintet Defeats Old Rival Wednesday Night. 44 To 24 The Auburn high school basketball team proved no foe for the Decatur high school Yellow Jackets, and the Cuitismen romped away to a 44-24 viet ry ever the Up-Staters on the Auburn hard-wood court Wednesday night. Decatur had easy sailing almost all the way In its second net tangle of the season and the Decatur aggrega : tlon showed it superotity over the home team in every phase of the game.] As a side show to the big scrap, the j Pent ami Auburn girls’ basketball teams played a thrilling game to a | 28-28 tie. After a slow start Peru climbed up and took a 3-p.iut lead with ;< I few minutes remaining in the final' quarter. The Auburn team seemed | doomed to its first defeat of the sen-1 son but the officiating was too much for the visiting ladies and by scoring! three free throws in the closing min-’ utes of the game, the Auburn girls tied the count. No overtime period was played and the game ended all kn tted up, 28-28. Decatur Takes Lead In the big show. Anadell started the ball rolling for Decatur about a halt I minute after the game started, by sc ir-i ing a field goal and a free throw j Anadell added another fielder and' — J .1 i > i • i. . w i . .

Krick and Hill both shot under the basket for counters. While the best the Auburn quintet could do was make a free throw. The Yellow Jackets continued to score and in the first 12 minutes f play the score was 11-3 in favor of Decatur. Auburn staged a rally and shor’ly liefore the first half ended the score was tied at 13-all, At that moment forthe game, Chet Reynolds, Decatur forward was ejected byway of tae personal foul route and Bob Hill was sent in to play forward in his place. Two m re two-pointers were scored in quick succession by Decatur and the half ended with the score 17-13 in favor of the Curtismen. The local team was playing a good brand of basket ba 1 but at times all five of the players were missing easy shots. Guarding had been exceptionally good in most of the fltst half. In the second period, Decatur started ut with a rush and Auburn was left away down the seating ladder in the fit st few minutes of play, never again getting close enough to the Yellow Jackets to even threaten a close game. The local team ran the score to 3013, before Auburn was able to ta'ly. Every Decatur player was on his toe® d nlng the second half and the Yellow Jacket machine was working in fine shape. Every man on the team scored and held the Atibutnites to 11 points in the second period. For Decatm. every man played a good game. Chet Reynolds, who was taken out on personals in the first half, was playing hard all the time. Three of his four fouls were calle I in quick succession, when referee F rd Griffith called him for jumping forward instead of up - n jump balls. Bill Bell, who incidentally made two f.eld goals, had ir.bly the hardest job of any playt i he game: that of guarding Mann m -, u b iril ’ s gtar f ] 00 „. guard. He held the A lburn midget tn a l.ne marker and many of Bell’s passes resulted in s.j.es for the local team. Hill, who took Reynolds place at forw t.d accounted for five field goals an 1 p aved a good floor game. Time after time he slipped under the Decatur bar.-' het for ma.kcrs. Get her -eater was a great value. He got the tip-off on this tall opponent, Rieke, about half the time and played a good defensive game. Joe Krick, Yellow Jacket back guard, accounted for a field goal and was instrumental in many other bas-l kits by his- accurate passing. He p'.ay-l e 1 one of the best defensive games i of his career. Roy Anadell, floor guard, Played a great game, counting six times f cm the field and holding his man • „ I’ngle field goal. Anadell’s playiu,; was net spectacular, but h? was steady Ji-ring the entire game. f ’° i u -d only six men dur--5 t ’ 1 ' hile ’Zeke” Young, Auburn . .. , Hied to halt the Decatur i.’hy by substituting frequently. Mannon, Auburn forward was the lone star so.- the home team and many of his passes to teammates accounted for points.

Whenever Decatur scored, it was not bald to tell that several score of them weie not from Auburn. Auburn’s team Is fur from being an inexperienced outfit. Lash. Mannon. Bruce and Davidson all played last year. Kirkland’s Kangaroos made ft two straight and fattened their batting average Wednesd.v night by defeating Monroevflle, 27-25, The Kangaroos had a close call, however, being forced to come from behind in the second half to win. Berne's Fighting Five continued on the toboggan Wednesday night and the Montpelier Pacers paced around .them, 25-15. The Berne-Kirkland battle Dec. 2 promises to be interesting. The Geneva Cardinals finished another game on the wrong end of the score Wednesday night dropping an engagement to the Lancaster Bob Cats at Lancaster, 35-17. Monroe and Monmouth mix it up in the D.
