YELLOW JACKETS ARE OUT TO WIN Fired with a determination that can not be denied, the Decatur high school Yellow Jackets will Invade the camp of their time-honored rivals, the Bluffton Tigers, Friday afternoon, bent on closing their 1928 season with a priceless victory over the Wells county gridders. The morale among the Yellow Jackets is high, despite their frequent defeats this season, and the manner in which the locals have gone about the business of preparing for the all-important game this week has been a source of much pleasure to Coaches Kidd and Curtis. Scores of fans will follow the Yellow Jackets on their pilgrimage to Bluffton tomorrow. The game is Scheduled to start at 2:30 o'clock. It is home-coming day at the Bluffton school and a record-breaking crowd is expected to attend the game. Coach Kidd stated today that all members of Yellow Jacket squad were in good condition for the gruelling battle expected tomorrow, with the exception of Kocher and Cole. Kocher is suffering from a strained back, but probably will play in at least a part of the game. Cole, who was injured in the game with Portland two weeks ago, will not be used in the Bluffton game, the coach said today. According to advance dope, Bluffton has a slight edge in tomorrow's game, but dope is always tossed to the wind when the Tigers and Yellow Jackets clash. In size and experience, the two teams are about even. The high school will be dismissed Friday afternoon at 1:45 o'clock, in order that the pupils may attend the football game at Bluffton. School will take up at 7:45 o’clock in the morning and at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, to make up for the lost time. The rooters are expected to leave the school en masse.

The Fourth Down t W\ By Willie Punt According to figures given out by the rival coaches, the total weight of Bluffton team will exceed that cf the • Yellow Jackets by 71 pounds, when' the two elevens clash at Bluffton, Friday afternoon. Most of the Tigers' weight advantage is said to be in the backfield, as the lines practically bal a nee. As for the ability cf the two teams, we don't believe there is much to choose between the Bluffton Tigers and the Yellow Jackets. It will be the team that shows the most fight and determination and the team that gets orj makes the breaks and then takes advantage cf them that wins the game I tomorrow. Bluffton is expecting one of the lar-i gest crowds that ever witnessed a toot-, ball game in that city to be present | when the game starts tomorrow. Indications are there will be many De-1 catur rooters on the sidelines. Whenever Matthew Ronzone, stab fullback of the Elkart high school eleven, scores a tcuchdown for his team his dad puts SSO in the bank for him. I The pater has had to do quite a bit of banking this fall. The young Ronzone crossed Mishawaka's goal line three times last Saturday, to say nothing of the many other touchdows he has to his credit this fall. A Decatur father got rid of considerable change a year or two ago, also, when he paid each of his two sons one dollar for each field goal they scored f r their high school basketball team. Basketball is crowding into the spotlight. Five Adams county teams will see action this week-end, namely Kirkland, Berne, Geneva, Monmoulh and Hartford. Which fact reminds us that two o. ui.-fce coaches and principals in the c unty have failed to send their schedules to the Daily Democrat. Please remit. Henceforth, when referring to the Berne high school basketball team, collectively and individually, say BEARS The name of Fighting Five, which was tacked on to the Berne quintet a fewyears ago when it won the sectional title, has been dropped In favor of the new one. Will Wynn has started his basketball column. “Time Outs”, in the Berne Witness. This is the third year in the industry for Will. Pretty soon, he will qualify as a veteran. Four D. H. S. Yellow Jackets will play their last football game for their

Alntu Mater tomorrow. They are Captain Lewis Butcher, tackle; R. Kless, guard; ''Red” Kocher, end, ami Cable, end. Each of these boys lias given hf< best efforts fur his tqam this year and are deserving of much praise. . They will be in their fighting for a victory t morrow. Decatur's backfield lias been show- „ ing continued improvement in recent . games and it will not be surprising to local fans if (let ber, Debolt, Brown ano Roop sb w the big crowd at Bluffton something about ball carrying tomorrow. They are due to come through for a flock of touchdowns. Kccher has been bothered by a strained back this week, but probably will be able to get into at least a part of the Bluffton game. Bluffton, we are Coming. Harvard Hopes To Stop Hawley Aerial ■> < £ /f By SOL METZGER Coach Hawley's Big Green team from the mountains of New Hampshire usually plays its best football against Harvard. Talk about scouting, Dartmouth does a fine job yearly with the Crimson, as many of its old football players reside in Boston and get all the dope on Harvard methods. ' One season a smashing off tackle at-, tack defeated Harvard. Next time when Harvard was ready to stop such an attack the Big Green eleven rip ped inside of tackle for a victory. Without question Dartmouth will uncork a passing attack this Saturday in the Harvard stadium, as Masters is a great back for this type of offense. One play that the Crimson must be on the lookout for is shown here. It is a well planned forward ' pass, one depending upon every trick 1 of the trade to make it go. At the snap of the ball No. 1 back and No. 6 end go down at the defensive backs, force tlieir attention ' and swing to the right. Backs No. 2 ' and 3 block charging lineman. The ' quarter. No. 4. takes the ball under center and runs to the rear right. End No. 5 counts two seconds while charging the opposing left tackle, then breaks down field, as indicated, and takes a pass from No. 4. A hard : play to stop as the delay usually clears the field for the receiver. To- ' morrow —will Harvard profit by Yale's | example and spring a surprise on Darthmouth? How is a kick blocked? In throwing forward pass how is ball held to gain best results? Sounds simple, yet, there is a right and a wrong way. These and many other questions are answered in Metzger's “Football Secrets."

DETECTIVE IS NEAR COLLAPSE

South Bend, Ind., Oct. 25.—(U.R) — Harvey L. Smith, private detective, was near a nervous collapse in the county jail here today, fearful that his confessed participation in the kidnaping of Mrs. Genevieve Stults would send him to the electric chair. Smith admitted he had paid SSO to get Mrs. Stults away from Charles L. Reyher for a few days but he declared he had passed on the task to two strangers. Mrs. Stults was killed and her body buried in a lime pit near Elkhart, Ind. However, the detective fears his story is doubted by police and last night repeated over and over to his visitors, “maybe they’ll send me to the chair.’’ “Believe me, 1 did not kill her — but who’ll believe me?’’ he repeated. Under severe questioning, Smith declared he had no part in the actual killing. Mrs. Stults' body was found Oct. 15 in a lime pit near Elkhart, seven months after her disappearance. Jointly accused in the murder with Smith are Reyher and Mrs. Reyher now in jail in Goshen. Reyher has admitted carrying on a clandestine love affair with Mrs. Stults, a beauty shop operator. Mrs. Reyher confessed she paid Smith SSO “to get Mrs. Stults out of I town," so she could keep her hus- . band. o- — Lafayette, Ind., —The Purdue eleven rated confidence as it prepared for the Chicago game. Pest, Welch star punter, was in tiptop shape.
