BY 7-6 SCORE Local Eleven Wins Opening Game By Scoring In Last 5 Minutes The Decatur Yellow Jackets, coining from behind, opened their season Saturday afternoon with a 7 6 victory over Central Catholic: at the South Side stadium in Fort; Wayne. After playing along in rather dull fashion for the first three quarters of the game, both teams ' opened up in the final period with j a passing attack which netted a' touchdown for each eleven. Central Catholic scored first. Taking the ball on down deep in their own territory, the Irish opened up with passes. One was completed, Murray to Romary and netted a gain of 55 yards. On the next play, Romary passed to Murray, good for 15 yards, and Murray ran 15 yards for a touchdown. Grout’s attempt for the extra point by a i place kick failed. With less than five minutes of the game to play. Red Schultz tossed a 20-yard forward to Dick Sheets, who dodged his way 20 yards for a touchdown. Butler made the point which brought victory when he plunged through the C. C. line from a take kick form- ( ation. The game was well played for the season’s opener for both teams, and surprisingly few penalties were assessed against the two squads. Decatur will play its second game of the seaon next Saturday afternoon. journeying to Auburn 'to meet Zeke Young s Red Devils. The lineups: Central Catholic Decatur Schott DE Friedt.

Among her special worries are i what may happen when the rowdy Marx Brothers land on the scene ! I and Harpo spies some of the pret-i Ity girls that are sure to be ’ i around. A wild chase is apt to ensue. Miss Holthouse fears, and composure of the crowd will be i 1 upset. Another thing she is trying to J figure out is what will happen if ' Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel start one of their slapping scenes , and one of the wild swings hapj pens to land on a spectator. Laurel and Hardy lead their own kind ! of lives, says Miss Holthouse, and : have very little consideration for | other people's feelings. In addition to the glamorous stage presentation which holds promise of being’the most colorful revue of stars ever shown in Decatur, there will also be presented the premier picture .of the evening. "Paris Interlude." starring Otto Kruger, Robert Young and | M idge Evans. Because of the expense of I theater rental, special make-ups and costumes, the admission for this attraction will be 35 cents for adults and 15 cents for children. The theater will open both nights at 6:30. Because of the limited numbeof seats, it will be a case of first come, first served. All proceeds of the show, which is presented by the Delta Theta Tau sorority, will be used for the Good Fellows I Christas fund. o Bandit Killed In Holdup Attempt Anderson, Ind., Sept. 10.—(U.R>— One bandit was killed, his intend’ ed victim was wounded and a third man was under arrest today after lan attempted filling station hold 1 up.

DECATUR YOUTH AWARDED PRIZE Franklin Lough Wins Award Presented By Conservation League Franklin Lough of Decatur will | be awarded the prize given by the Adams county fish anJ janie con i servati n league for the largest I carp caught in waters of the county i thia summer. Charles Knapp, chair- , man of the fish conservation com mittee of the organization, announced today. | The prize will be a jointed bait | rod. reel and line. It has been on display at the Henry Knapp and son Hardware store all summer. | Under the rules established by the League the fish was caught by ! hook and line by a boy under high sch.<ol age in one ot the quarries or rivers In the rounty. The fish, caught (by Franklin Lough, weighed seven and a half pounds and was slightly heavier than the nearest j competitor. Considerable interest was raised by the contest. Mr. Knapp stated today that the state conservation department will soon distribute five cans of small mouth bass and 10 cans of large mouth bass in the waters ot the county. When these are received, Adams iC' unty will have been allotted two ' or three times as many fish as it I has in the past.
