YELLOW JACKETS COMPLETE DRILL FOR PORTLAND Injuries Fail To Dampen Spirits Os Squad And W in Is Predicted Anxious to tear into the Portland Panthers Saturday afternoon, Decatur high school Yellow Jackets squared off a week’s practice today with a light workout, the last before the Kidmen journey to the Jay county capitol for the annual battle with the grid team of that city. While two of the regulars will not appear in tlie starting for the local aggregation, the greatest of optimism prevails amt indications ure that the Jackets will romp away to an easy victory over the Portland team. Ed Musser. linesman, received an injury to his left shoulder in practice yesterday and joined Carl Gerber on the side lines. Zerkle. 175-pound linesman, who has been on the injured list for sevral days drove the odds back to the Kiddmen when he reported again for practice today. All week the local team has been going through a flock of tackling practice and several hard scrimmages the last two nights finished off the week's drill. Coach Kidd stated today that he felt sure the Jacketmen could more: than hold their own against the Panther aggregation Portland has a good record so far this season, not having lost a game. The Panthers, however, have play'd two tie games and their opposition has not been so hard. The local aggregation will leave : here at noon Saturday in a chartered bus and the game is scheduled to start 1 at Portland at 2:30 o'clock Saturdavj afternoon. About 150 local fans hav?' indicated they will accompany the: squad. o — Athletics-Cubs Have Same Fielding Average -— New York, Oct. 11.—(U.R)-The Philadelphia Athletics and the Chicago! Cubs, current world series contenders led their leagues in fielding with idential averages of .975 for the 1929 season, completed United Press records showed today. Athletic hitters compiled a team average of .295 to finish one point lower than the New York Yankees and five points below the Detroit Tigers. I The Cubs tied Pittsburgh for second place in the National league with a team average of .303, but were six points behind the Phillies, who took' the league team batting honors. Neither of the pennant winners produced an individual batting champion. Lefty O’Doul, Phillies outfielder, topping the National league with a total of .400 and Lew Fonseka. Cleveland ( first baseman. heading the American' league with a .369. O'Doul, in addition to winning the hitting championship, was one of five] players to set a new National league; record. His total of 254 hits is four, above the previous record for a single! season which was held by Rogers; Hornsby. Chuck Klein. Phillie outfielder, erased another Hornsby record from the book by batting 43 home runs and Hack Kilson, Chicago, deprived his teammate of a third record by batting in 153 runs during the season.! Both figures were one above the old records set by Hornsby. Hornsby took a hand in the recordmaking th s season by scoring 155 runs, topping the previous high figure i of 144. set by Hazen Cuyler, in 1925. Johnny Frederick. Brooklyn, established the fifth 1929 record with 53 doubles, three more than the modern record of 50 made by Paul Waner, Pittsburgh, in 1928. American league players were less successful at setting records, not a single junior loop mark being changed during 1929. The American league also lacked a no-hit pitcher to match the hittless game hurled by Carl Hubbell, Giant left hander. o Several Intersectional Grid Games Draw Interest New York, Oct. 11.—(U.R)—The Intersectional aspect will be stressed by eastern football teams tomorrow. Yale's varsity was on southern soil ready for the Georgia University; stadium dedication game at Athens. [ There are at least four other in-1 tersectionals in which eastern teams are involved and they are all set for the eastern sector. Notre Dame comes out of the west to play Navy at Baltimore. Neither of these teams has tasted defeat or tie. This game seems to be t e biggest of the day in popular interest. Nebraska will go to Syracuse to play Syracuse university. Syracuse is unbeaten and untied, but has faced meaker teams. Nebraska has a tie game charged against her, the one with S. M. U. Michigan State and Colgate meet in another eastern intersectional.

Both have been beaten, and both by western conference teams. Michigan i State was downed by U. of Michigan I hist week, while Colgate lost to Wis I consin. Georgetown will play host to St. Louis I', at Washington. The HillI toppers were beaten by Western Maryland in a surprise game last i weyk. while St. Louis was taken over the hurdles by Davis and Elkins. ' BIC TEN TEAMS : GET INTO ACTION . I C Chicago, Oct. 11. —(U.R) —Two games t in which favorites meet ‘dark horses' ■jwill headline the first inter-confer-\ence clashes in the Big Ten tomor- - 4; row. •! Purdue meets .Michigan and W!a---1 cousin clashes with Northwestern in *ja schedule which will find eight of ithp confprPHcp team® playing ’ i one another. ’ The Purdue-Michigan encounter may be the headline game of the day. Purdue, which has a great backfield 1 and rates as a "dark horse.” will be meeting a Wolverine team which ap1 pears to have a fine chance to win the western conference title. The Boi'ermakers under the able tutelage ' of Jimmy Phelan have developed a promising line and a good backfield including Harmeson. Caraway and 1 possibly Pest Welch. Michigan, which started slowly 'a t year and then made good in the final games, has appeared to be in fine shape. The team has been inspired by the fire and drive of Coach J Harry Kipke. who is in his first year I at the Wolverine school Wisconsin appears to Jjave an edge in its game with Northwestern but I Coach Dick Hanley believe® his dark j horse outfit can upset the hopes of the adm’tted'v strong Badeer team. Hanley probably will be forced to j start the game with several recruits. Injuries to Frank Baker, end. and Evans, guard, have forced the coach to shift his lineup. Other conference games of the day will bring together lowa and Ohio ' State at Columbus and Indiana and I Chicago at Chicago. The latter conI test promises to be a battle of forj ward passes as Coaches Stagg and Page have spent hours in aerial drilling. 0 — _ # ' Alons th* 1 Sidelines —(U.R)— ' (By United Press) Annapolis.

The varsity : smothered the scrub®, who tried Notre Dame plays. West Point. Oct. 11—The Armv varsity scored one touchdown in a brief scrimmage vesterdav which fn’owed a signal drill. The score was made by Hutchinson. Chris ■ Cagle’s substitute, who took a long • pass from Bowman. The Soldiers pl»v Davidson Saturday. New Haven. Conn. —Yale's football squad of 37 players, six coaches and 1 ten executives left Thursday for Athens. Ga., the longest fooYball trip lever taken by a Blue squad. Captain I Greene is ill with a cold and Loeser, right guard, has an injured leg but Coach Stevens indicated he expected all regulars to start against Georgia. Princeton. N. J. —Offensive ami defensive development of an aerial atI tack was stressed in Princeton’s I dumm scrimmage Thursday. A 20 1 minute signal drill revealed a smooth running offense. Bloomington. Ind.—After a light workout on Memorial stad'um fie'd vesterdav, 25 members of the Hoosier gridiron squad were selected to make the trip to Chicago for the opening Rig Ten game there Saturday with the U. of Chicago. Coach Pat Page indicated that virtually the same team will go against the Mn>•0008 as was used against Notre Dame. The only change in the lineup that is expected is the addition of Ed Hughes, veteran punter and line plunger. ' Lafavette, Ind.—The student body it Purdue today was keyed to a high pitch in anticipation of tomorrow’s game with Michigan’s Wolverines. Intent on avenging defeats suffered more than 28 years ago, Purdue students have created a frenzied spirit ♦hat is expected to be a large factor in the game Saturday — the initial Big Ten game for both schools. The Boilermakers were sohqdu’ed for a i light workout today. New York. Oct. 11—N. Y. U. grid,l ders practiced Thursday at the Po'o grounds in preparation for Saturday's i inter-city clash with Fordham. Coach Meehan indicated that he plans no lineup changes. _— —o — Even *f It Hurts A great Inspirational writer advises that the time to pay debts is when you have money, hut some cre/litors are so unreasonable.—Fort Wayne News-Sen-tinel.

It looks like a victory for the Jackets Saturday, The boys are all on edge for the game and regardless of the fact that two of the regulars will he out of the starting lineup, there Is sufficient reserve strength to plug up the vacancies. —oOo— Carl Gerber and Eddie Musser will be on the bench when the game starts Saturday. Carl has an injured knee and Musser has a badly injured shoulder. —oOo— Its seems as though the hard luck has spurred the Jackets on and every member of the squad is ready to go—Let's BEAT 'EM. Yellow jackets. -—oOo — The final games of the Adams county baseball league will be staged this afternoon, provided the weatherman is willing. Indications are that Monroe and Monmouth will be tied for first place and a play-off series w;l Ibe necessary. —oOo — Monroe is certain of a first place and the Eagles have to win one more game for a tie. The Eagles defeated the Center City team last week and the Root township team looms up as a probable winner again today. The Monroe aggregation boasts two if the hardest hitters in the league. Brandyberry has knocked two homeruns during the season; one against Kirkland and one against Pleasant Mills. Hoffman has slammed out two 1-baggers. and every player on the Monroe team has obtained at least one hit. —oOo— Bluffton plays Garrett at the latter’s football commons Saturday afternoon — and we're not qu te mean enough to handicap the TIGERS by picking them to win—tut it seems certain that the west suburb gridders will return Saturday night with a victory—the first of the season. —oOo—“Crowds” in the Huntington HeraidPress, in telling of the N. E. I. meeting held last Tuesday to discuss Huntington's withdrawal from the conference was hardly fair in our opinion when he stated that “ —apparently the conference is on the verge of dissolution or at least drastic reorganization.” —oOo — The withdrawal of any school from ths N. E. I. conference would be practically unnoticeable. There are still ten teams remaining in the N. E. I. group and in all probabilities ten more could be obtained without a great amount of exertion. —oOo — Huntington has withdrawn and it was with regret to all other schools, because the Vikings always have good athletic teams — but we believe that legardless of "Crowds’’ effort —no one can break up the N. E. 1. conference. —oOo— Footbawls hopes that Huntington an see itself clear to return to the fold —but the statement in "Crowds" was rathter provoking—lt reminds us >f the 6,500 year old saying "Misery Loves Company.” —oOo — We believe in good sportsmansh p in games and out of games —and we hope and believe that the present argument will be ironed out—in the meantime let s all v.ish for an early “armistice" between the Vikings and the N. E. I. officials. —oOo— WE STILL BELIEVE THAT AN OFFICIAL—aw, you know the rest. —oOo— Earl Connor, who several years ago wandered away from Decatur and at present is a full-fledged, rooting, howling. cheering follower of Stivers high school of Dayton, Ohio, sent us a copy of the "Stivers News." —oOo— The Buckeye school has one of the greatest high school football teams in the country and Saturday Stivers tangles with Steubenville. That game is similar in rivalry to the Bluffton-Decatur game'— and Earl’s as crazy as anyone could ever be in anticipation of the results. He’s almost made an ardent Stivers supporter of Footbawls. —oOo — After being “Foxxed’’ to death in two games, the Cubs are making a last effort to win the world series. And as we told Pete a few days ago — we’re picking the Cubs to win. —oOo — Come on gang, let's BEAT PORTLAND. —oOo — Season tickets are now on sale for the Decatur Catholic high school basketball season—Reports are to the effect that the Yellow Jacket season tickets will be on sale in a feW days—and say, it won’t be long now. BEAT PORTLAND.
