YELLOW JACKETS DOWN PORTLAND Curtismen Score 54-29 Victory Over .lay County Five; Krick Injured The Portland high school Panthers showed surprising strength, especially in the art of long distance goal shooting, in their game against the Decatur high school Yellow Jackets here Saturday night, but/the locals piled up a 54 to 29 victory. The first half of the game was pretty’ closely contested the score at the rest period being 2216 in favor of the Curtismen. A large Saturday night crowd turned out to see the Yellow Jackets tangle with their old rivals from Jay County. The locals appeared to have difficulty in getting down to business in the early part of the game and the Panthers took an early lead. Joe Krick the big Yellow Jacket back guard, sprained one knee during the first three minutes of play and was forced to leave the game. He first injured the knee in the game at Columbia City, Friday night, and when he fell into the bleachers Saturday night, he inflicted further Injury to it. It was at first feared that the injury might be serious enough to prevent Joe from playing any more this season, but he was placed in a physician's care immediately and today he was able to walk without difficulty. It is believed he will be in shape for tournament play two weeks from last Friday night. The sharp-shooting df Elliott and Grimers kept Portland in the running during the early part of the game and the lead switched from one team to the other, until Bob Hill started dumping in field gials from underneath the basket, ably assisted by field goals and free throws by Roy Anadell. In the second half, the Curtismen soon ran away with the game. They scored nine points at the start of the second half before Portland scored, making the score 31-16. Coach Curtis sent in two or three substitutes in the closing minutes. When Krick was forced out of the game, Cole went in at center and Gerber, ceriter, went to the guard position. This combination did not function to the complete satisfaction of the coach and, after about five minutes of play, he sent la Reynolds for Cole, Gerber going back to center and Reynolds playing guard. This combination then worked until the closing minutes, when John Engle, replaced Bell. Stoneburner took Hill’s place and Dick Engle substituted for Reynolds. Bob Hill was himself again Saturday night, getting ten field goals on short shots. His teammates, especially Bell, were feeding the ball to him in fine shape, after he started hitting the hoop. Hill also sank three free throws out of four chances, giving him a total of 23 points. Anadell, with five field goals and six free throws, was second in line for scoring honors. Elliott, forward, played best for Portland, in addition to working the floor nicely, he caged four field goals and three free throws. Jaqua got the tip off at center for his team much of the time, but failed to break into the scoring column. lineups and summary: Decatur (54) Portland (29) HillF.Elliott Bell FMeeker Gerber C .. „•Jaqua Anadell G Grimes Krick G Ronald Substitutions: (Decatur) J.
