CIRCUS CITY FIVE DEFEATS DECATUR. 41-19 Visiting Ball Club Lives Up To Advance Notices By Downing Decatur The Peru ball club lived up to advance notices Friday night and as a result the Decatur Yellow Jackets suffered a decisive defeat on the home door, 41 to 19. Peru undoubtedly has the toughest team thq Yellow Jackets have played all season and should make it tough for any team in tourney competition. The lads from the Circus City started with a rush, scoring seven points in the first two minutes of play, meanwhile holding the Yellow Jackets scoreless. At the end ot the first quarter, Decatur had scored four points to make the: count 7-4, Peru. The Yellow Jackets fought hard! throughout the second quarter but I Peru increased its margin to seven! points, leading 15 8 at the rest period. Decatur stayed right in the ball game during the third period which ended with the visitors in front by a 26-15 margin but in the fourth quarter, the Yellow Jackets were unable to stand the pace, Peru pulling away to win by a 22- 1 point margin. The final score would have been considerably closer if the Yellow Jackets had been able to hit several fairly easy shots from close range but these shots refused to drop. Decatur's foul shooting, which provided the margin of victory last week at Bluffton, was bad last night, the Yellow Jackets counting only seven of IS attempts from the charity line. Buffenbarger and Cowan tied for scoring honors for the Yellow Jackets witli two field goals and a foul toss each. Ehinger and Feasel collected Decatur’s other field goals. Peru’s scoring was fairly evenly divided, Bruce leading with fontfield goals and a like number ot free throws for a total ot' 12 points. Phillips and Vignary each scored four points for the winners.
