After the first fifteen minutes of the game, there was little to choose between the two elevens. A strong wind was blowing across the field making it difficult for the team facing the wind to get any distance on punts. Decatur made three first downs to Auburn’s two during the game. Auburn failed to gain the necessary 10 yards for a first down during the entire second half. Each team made two first downs during the first half and Decatur added'one more in the fourth quarter on a forward pass from Engle to Gerber. The Yellow Jackets showed promise in their opening game. Twice, during the first ten minutes of the game, the locals held the visitors for downs within the three-yard line. Auburn was unable to gain much ground through the Yellow Jacket line. Coach Kidd was forced to use two inexperienced ends in the game, and their inexperience proved costly during the early part of the contest, but they showed improvmeent as the game wore on and should give a good account of themselves in future games. Gerber, fullback, and Roop, right half, proved to be the best ground gainers for the locals, although Debolt and Engle did well. Tor Auburn, Hunter and Davidson, half hacks, were the big ground gainers. This pair of backs worked like stars throughout the game. The visitors gained consistently a triple pass play early in the game, but the locals finally solved it. Auburn opened the game by kicking off over the goal line, the wind being with the kicker. On the second play. Gerber fumbled and Auburn recovered on Decatur’s 18 yard line. Auburn made a first down, but the locals braced and held for downs in the shadow of their goal. Roop punted, but the wind caught the ball »nd it was downed on the 15-yard line. Again the Yellow Jackets held for downs and Roop punted out to the "yard line. Davidson then crossed the goal line for Auburn’s first ‘ score on a triple pass play. Groscap I kicked goal for the extra point. Auburn kicked off again. The quarter ended with the visitors in possession of the Dall on Decatur's 25-yard line. On the first play of the second quarter, Hunter raced around end for a touchdown. Auburn elected to Plunge the line for the extra point, out failed. Score 13-0. The Yellow Jackets rallied after üburn s second score and made two •rst downs in rapid succession, carryi"s the ball to Auburn’s 9-yard line, fln ' to lose it on downs.

The Fourth Doyvn By Willie Punt A had beginning makes a good ending. The beginning of the Yellow Jackets was not as bad as it might have been, however. Auburn has a nic» football team this season and the locals, most of whom are inexperienced. did well to hold the visitors to a 13-0 score. Decatur made three firkt downs to Auburn's two during the game. After the first fifteen minutes, the Yellow Jackets looked just as good as their opponents. The entire third quarter was played in Auburn territory. Bluffton, Kendallville and Fort Wayne Central today share the leadership in the (Northeastern Indiana conference with Auburn, as a result of Saturday's games. Bluffton’s Tigers had to put on a last quarter rally to pull a victory out of their battle with Columbia City. The Yellow Jackets go to Columbia City next Friday for another conference game. Lockhart, of Martinsville, and McCarties, of Logansport, two stars in last year’s slate basketball tournament. have enrolled in Northwestern University this fall. Wooden and Tackett, two other Martinsville stars, have entered the University of lowa. There are four boys who should have been kept in Indiana universities or ct.ileges. Robert Petrie, former Huntington high school and University of Michiigan athlete, who has been playing in the outfield on the Beaumont, team i t the Texas league this summer. has been sold to the Detroit Tigers for $15,000. Petrie will report to the Tigers next spring. "Many well-known athletes of this territory also have treked to college I this fall anil doubtless ihe?v carried [ with them the laudable ambition to i win places in athletics. Marvin. | Coble. Viking four-letter man. has i gone to the University of Illinois; | Matt Williams, football and basket- ! ball performer, has entered PurdueRoy Anadell, the well-known Decatur and ex-Monrovia flash, has enrolled at Franklin; and “Hocky” Mylott. captain of the Decatur Catholic high team last season, has shifted to St. Mel's high school of Chicago, where he can play for another season.” — Huntington Herald. —o YESTERDAY’S HOMERS Gehrig. Y’ankees, 1; Koenig, Yankees, 1: Blue. Browns, 1. Totals: American league, 439; National league, 551. Season’s total, 990. o Watching The Scoreboard —(U.R)— Yesterday's hero: Fred Fussell, Pittsburgh southpaw, who pitched the Pirates to a 1 to 0 victory over the New York Giants. Fussell held the Giants to seven hits and was invincible in the pinches. Larry Benton forced in Fussell, who had singled, with the winning run by walking three men—Adams, L. Waner, and P. Waner —in succession in the third inning. It was Benton’s seventh defeat of the season against 24 victories. Ethan Alien's single in the tenth drove in two runs and gave the Cincinnati Reds a 4 to 3 victory over the Brooklyn Robins in the only other National league game. Home runs by Gehrig and Koenig helped the New York Yankees defeat the St. Louis Browns, 7 to 5, and retain theii/half game margin over the Philadelphia Athletics. Lefty Grove allowed the Cleveland Indians only four hits and the Athletics won again, 7 to 1. The A’s bunched their hits in the sixth inning to drive Shaute from the mound and 1 score six runs. Sam’Rice starred as the Washington Senators beat the Detroit Tigers, 11 to 7. Rice made three hits and scored four runs. The Chicago White Sox broke even with the Boston Red Sox, winning the first game, 7 to 1, and losing the secmid, 2 to 0. —o Quite a Family If you could surround one pair of normal bob-whites with every possible protection from loss from any agency, the net progeny would be 9,000,000 in about seven years. Surround one pair of robins with the same protection, and fn fourteen years (the normal life of a robin) there would be 671,088,840.—Fie1d and Stream Magazine.

In this latter department the fan may, without much trouble, add materially to his enjoy- 1 ! ment of the game if ho notes n few . oints. With all else equal, he can. after a lew punts have been exchanged, hazard a guess as to the winner of any game and not be far wrong. Consequently, for the next few days these articles will attempt to clear for the spectator some fundamentals of the kicking game In order that the fan may determine for himself why one eleven is better than another. The end is the player to watch on the first few punts. ’ All sorts of schemes are planned to delay him in his trip down field to tackle the receiver. First, an opposing tackle will jolt him as he charges to throw him off stride. Note in Fig. 1 how the California end straight-arms this tackle to get away clear and at lop speed. The next foe the end encounters is a back. He'll dive at him to knock his legs out from under him (Fig. 2). The epd must be good at both dodging and at slapping this back down to earth before he can get into his legs. Now the end is clear. His job is to come at the receiver from his side of the field. To locate the ball he merely glances over his inside shoulder and then digs for the spot it will fall, (Fig. 3). Tomorrow
