Jackets Score First Victory; Commodores Losl

LAPORTE FIVE OPSET FRIDAY NIGHT J 6-14 Yellow Jackets Score First Victory of Season Over Strong Quintet The Decatur Yellow Jarkois. upsetting ull dope, came out of their current losing streak with a bang Friday night. battering down the highly touted LaPorte Slicers in a hard fought battle on the lo.al floor, 16 to 14. IstPorte tame to Decatur with an enviable record, listing Martinsville, 1933 state champions, and Vatu ■among the victims. But the Slicers ran into a fighting crew of Yellowe Jacket:- last night, a team that refused to be discouraged by a much taller an dlieavier quintett. Decalnr, in losing its first three starts Os the year, had looked anything but impressive in these early games. Friday night's Yellow Jackets played real ball, handling the basketball with precision and putting up a strong defense at most stages of the battle. It was a strictly defensive battle all the way. with Decatur in the lead most of the time. Short shots by Blythe and Paul Strickler gave Decatur a 4-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. Anderson hit from near center to open the second period. A free throw by Witt t ut the Yellow Jackets’ lead to one point, but Gerald Strickler came back with a fielder from the side. Hanschild also hit from the side just before the half ended with Decatur leading 6 to 5. Witt hit from underneath to give LaPorte a 7-6 lead to open the third quarter. P. Strickler's foul toss tied the count but Witt registered from the foul line to put LaPorte in front again. Ehinger then sank a beauty from the corner hut Greyknotted the count at 9-9 with a foul. Blythe registered a free throw to give Decatur a 10-9 margin at the third quarter. Hanschild's long one from center again put LaPorte in a one-point lead but Ehinger's one handed shot from near the foul line put the Yellow Jackets back into the lead to stay. G. Strickler's free throw and Blythe s wide open shot underneath gave Decatur a 15-11 margin. Anderson scored a free throw and then value liack with a long toss to cut the lead to one point. Blythe was fouled as the game ended and made the try good, giving Decatur a 16-14 margin. Attempting to pick an individual star from the Yellow Jacket lineup would be unfair and practically impossible. Every man played fine ball. Only one substitution was made by the locals. G. Strickler being jerked for a few seconds for instructions. Blythe was 'high point man with two field goals and two free throws. Anderson was high for 1-a Porte with two field goals and a foul toss.

I ! revenge from the Decatur Commo-: . dores at the Kirkland gym Friday j ■night, nosing out a 19-17 victory: i ; over the Decatur five. It was sweet revenge for the Kani garoos, as the Commodores had ; edged out a 24-23 victory in a battle i that went to two overtime periods , | on the local floor the night before I 1 Thanksgiving. Registering seven points from : the free throw line proved the mar--1 1 gin of victory for Kirkland, as the Commodores scored only once from ' i the charity stripe. Decatur outscor--1 <-<1 tlie Kangaroos from the field, eight to six. The Commodores started well.' leading at the end of the first quarter. 8 to 4. and at the half. 13 to 10. Kirkland fought back strong in the last half, knotting the count at 15-15 before the period dosed. The Kangaroos scored once from the field and twice from the foul line in the final quarter, while Decatur counted only one field goal in ■ the final eight minutes of play. I Murphy gave the fans a real thrill | in the last seconds of play when his long shot hit in the basket, rolled : around and then dropped off as the final gun fired. Coach Laurent made a decided j change in his starting lineup Fri- ' | day night, following the disappoint- j , ing showing of Thursday night, when the locals suffered their first ’ defeat of the season at the hands ' of the Berne Bears.
