Yellow Jackets Triumph Over Bluffton Tigers, 13-1

DECATUR WINS 13-7 IN CAME UNDER LICHTS Jackets Completely Outclass Ancient Foe: Fans Get Few Thrills In their first apnearance Tinder canned sunshine, Decatur hieh school Yellow Jac-, l-ots easilv defeated their an-| riant rive’s. Bluffton high school nt Bluffton last ’3-7 The score hardly does justice to the way the Horl-i o>imen completely outclassed ♦ Tioir foe. but the Yellow Jac- 1 lets were forced to play cautious-] ty throughout the contest. 2 A fair sized crowd, small compared to most Decatur-Bluffton audiences, shivered through the scrap, but little cheering plunged ?nt from the rooting sections. Many fans chose to remain in their automobiles during the game. The Bluffton lighting system threw bright rays of artificial sunlight over the playing area of the' field. A light snow fell shortly be-' fore the game and the field was ■ wet. musing the ball slippery and hard to handle. Constant errors on the part of the Bluffton safety man in handling Decatur punts were one of the contributing factors toward a Decatur victory. Fred Brown and Steele accounted for the first touchdown early in the second period. Drown took the ball in midfield and plunged through a weak Bluffton Mne to the three-yard mark. Steele carried the ball over on the next, play. The secoml marker came late in the fourth period. A Bluffton fiimble. -the ninth of the game, was recovered on the Bluffton 21yard line and Steele ripped through a large hole in the line for the counter. Steele also plunged over for i the point after. The first quarter was slow, marked by Decatur's ability to outpunt' its rival. Neither team threaten-■ ed to score and both were sparr- ] itig for any breaks which might' occur. In the second quarter, tnb Jackets recovered a fumble on the Bluffton 40-yard line and after they failed to make the necessary yardage, Stevie punted again anti again the Bluffton safety man fumbled.: It .was Lh° first time during the: scrap that either team had an op-1 portunity to score. The Blufftcn I line held and Decatur lost the ball on downs as the half ended. The Hortonmen received the ball as the second half opened and lost no time shoving it across for a counter. The attempted kick after failed and the score was 6-0, in

I favor of Decatur. A little later in] the same period the Yellow Jackets 'had th» ball on their own 40-yardi pine, two 111-yard penalties on'De'eatur shoved the pigskin back al I | most to the Decatur goal line. I I Steele dropped back to punt, but' I the Decatur line cracked and two! i Bluffton men blocked th" punt. I Hesher fell on the ball and the| score was 6-6. On the point after.' Captain smashed through tackle j ' j for a point and Bluffton led, 7-6. It was a bad break for Decatur j |and for a time it appeared that Bluffton, although ijiiserably out-! /played, would win the game. The Tigers played the safe game! during most of the final period.l I Decatur punted and Captain fumhl-i ■|ed again on his own 20-yard line. I It was Decatur's golden opportun-l I ity and no time was lost in smash png through the weakened Bluffton | line for a touchdown. Steele tore I (through a moment later for the! (extra point.

' The canned sunshine game last | night lacked the thrill of many | Decatur-Bluffton scraps. Fann! I shivvering in the fall air and even ; sprinkled with snow were glad - i 1 when the contest was over. t

And it cun truly be called a | contest. — Seven policemen, the combined age of which would carry one back to the time of Caeser, guarded the playing field with such precision that even reporters were barred. Footbawls told one of the police- : men he'd like to get up to the ! bench to ascertain in the dim I lights* near the goal who was carrying the ball. The aged vet- ■ eran with the polished star said we could find out in the newspaper ’’ who tarried the ball. One thing nice we noticed was that the director of traffic permitted all the fans to get out before he let the bus car- . rying the shivvering Yellow Jackets, who even failed to get a good workout, drive out onto the street. And (here was the usual argument with officials after the game. I But this year Bluffton fans did all the arguing. Yarnell. Geller and ■Gunnar Elliott, president of the Northeastern Indiana Officials I Association, worked the game. In our humble opinion that combination has the Bower-Tudor-McClure judging team trimmed a mile. The crowd was thin in spots. It I was in fact small for a DecaturBluffton game. There was a mixup as usual on the time of the game—lt started at about 7:30 o'clock. The preliminary game between the Decatur junior team and the Bluffton junior team resulted in a 13-13 tie. It was some game and both teams showed some promising hopes. There wasn't the usual hackling of fans. Both sides of the field were orderly and the enthusiasm was well curb’d. One more game remains on the Yellow Jacket schedule. Decatur plays Elkhart next Saturday. Then comes basketball.
