YELLOW JACKETS BEAT NEW HAVEN The Decatur Hit'll ■ School Yellow Jackets, slinging with | all their might, backed the New i Haven Bull Dogs to the walli and made them drink dog inedicine out of the bottle ol deteal t«, the tune of 36-26 in a well | nlayed basketball game at the Decatur high school gymnasium j Ijefore a capacity crowd last> night. It was the second victory of the season for the Curtismen and the first defeat for the highly touted A len county aggregation. The null Dogs, true to form, held on tenaciously and fought pugnaciously all the way, never conceding a thing and always within striking <1 stance of the local netters. At times the Curtismen would pull I away for a nice lead only to have it 1 eaten up by the barking and biting Hull Dog aggregation. The game last I night was probaldy the hardest fought and best executed early season game the Yellow Jackets have ever participated in. Snyder. New Haven center, started the scoreboard's exercise with a field goal from close under the basket j after about three minutes of thrills. I A minute later Dick Engle, playing his first game as a Yellow Jacket | regular tossed in a 2-poluter from near the foul Hue. The crowd went wild as the two teams battled on even terms. Snyder snagged another basket, sending the visitors into the lead and Carl Gerlier, sent the crowd into a pandemonium w|ten he knotted the conn' at 4 all with a close-in basket. Dick Engie sent the Curtismen into the lead for the first time with another field goal and a short time later. Mason, stocky New Haven guard tied the count at 6-all. Joe Krick sank a free throw making the score 7-6. and Decatur never was headed again. At times however. New Haven threatened to wipe out the lead, but the Yellow Jacket defense tightened and the visitors' threats were just threats. After some clever floor work by Decatur, the local netters crept away from the visitors and the half ended with Decatur leading 22-13. In the second period, neither team scored during the first seven minutes, i then New Haven broke away for twoi field goals and a free throw before I j the Yellow Jackets could get started. ' The hundred fans who had followed the New Haven aggregation to 1 Decatur, hoping for a continuance of a “clean slate", protested bitterly and I ' even at times booed decisions of I ' Elliot and Braun, officials. Both' * < fficials worked hard to keep the ; game clean, and their work was high-' ]y satisfactory, but it was just an-1 ’ other case of “frenzied fans" seeing 1 1 their 1.000 percent column battered,, down to .666. As the gaqje wore on. Coach Curtis • ' changed his line-up and gave nine: ‘ local players an opportunity to show , : their ability. Joe Krick and Carl , Gerber, veterans of last year’s regu-1 , Jars played good floor games and i after the first few minutes of the L game they formed the nucleus of a great defense. Cerlier snagged a pair of baskets and Krick hit for 3 field- , ] ers. Reynolds and Schnepp alternate-1 ’ at the floor guard position, each Jo-' ing a good job against a much heav- ; ( ier opposition. The two Engle boys. Dick and , Johnnie, the smallest and pluckiest ' pair of forwards Coach Curtis has had ; in the last three seasons, played a I , good game, Dick hitting the net for 4 field goals and Johnnie sending the ' Imfl through twice for counters. Roop, Deßolt and Bob Cole were sent into the forw. -d lineup later in the game and all three accounted for their pre-'ence in nice shape. The Yellow Jackets present a well-' balanced team, and indications are that the Curtismen will cause plentv I of trouble for their opponents. New Haven had a good team of , veterans and outweighed the locals greatly.

New football alliances this fall bring! Princet n and the Navy together ta. | s day, a week later than Princeton has played football in many year Football students are wondering if the Tigers canhit top form again a week after their tilt with Yale, the big game of their schedule. Roper is the sort of coach who will take a chance on anything. A year ago when his eleven beat Cornell the Ithaca team gave it quite a run with a ® short forward pars that was c:mplet«d behind the line of scrimmage. Bill immediately adopted it to his 3>wn attack i I and it’s up to the Navy to stop it today, I just as it is up to Penn to put a crimp \ in it if Cornell is to be downed on . Thanksgiving Day in their annual battle. The play is surprisingly effective Ball is passed to No, 4 who starts on a I right end run. No. 7 helps his end box the tackle. No 6 back and No 5 lineman take the opposing end. Linemen Nos. 2 and 3 swing out and come a-I a round as though inlet set ing on an end .tin. No. 1 swings around to the rear ( of these two linemen. No one takes the first back to drive into the play. He i is let through and, of course, goes tear-1 Ing at No. 4 to down him for a loss. I , Just as he prepares to tackle N 0.4. the latter tosses the ball ahead to No. 1. who chases down field with two interferes. There is a right and a wrong way to j play football.

BIG TEN LOSES MANY PLAYERS Chicago, Nov. 24.— U.Pj—When the curtain is rung dow’n on the 1928 Big l Ten' football season today many stars will have completed college competi- ■ tion. Absence of an outstanding star, such as Red Grange o. Herb Joest- j : ing and the sustained interest in the I championship race, has resulted in lack of the usual “final game" ballyhoo, but a check of football rosters show that almost 100 Big Ten varsity players will no longer play college , football after today’s games. Purdue heads the list with 18 of its 1928 squad, while Coach Stagg's hapless Maroons are next in the line witli 14. Ohio loses 13 men. Indiana. 11.
