Yellow Jackets Defeat Pennville S

DECATUR FIVE EASY VICTORS OVER BULLDOGS Starting Slow, Jackets l ake Substantial Lead To Win Easily While showing effects of a tough battle at Bluffton Friday night, the Decatur Yellow Jackets had littJe difficulty in turning back the Pennville Bulldogs at the local gymnasium Saturday night. II to 30. The Bulldogs started hot and ran up a score of 6 1 but field goals by Worthmau and Barker cut the Pennville to 6-5 as the first quarter ended. Decatur tied the score as th* second period opened and quickly took the lead, holding it i the remainder of the game. The Yellow Jackets were ahead by 11 points, 21-10, at the inter- , mission and maintained a safe lead throughout the entire last . half. Decatur led. 32 to 22 at the , end of the third quarter. I Pennville pulled with six points us 32-26 early in the final period . but Decatur, seemingly able to , score when points were needed, i again pulled away from the Jay ; county team, last season winner of the Hartford City sectional. Three Jackets led the Decatur scoring. Huffman was high with five field goals and a similar number of free throws for a total of 15 points. Peterson tallied 11 points and Worthman 10. Younts was Pennville's chief offense threat, the rangy forward dropping in five fielders and four foul tosses for 14 points. The Yellow Jackets, although appearing rather tired from the Bluffton struggle, showed more speed and scrap than in any previous game on the homo floor. In the preliminary, the Decatur seconds snowed th" Pennville reserves under a 41-G score. Decatur FG FT TP Huffman, f 5 5 15 Peterson, f 4 3 11
