With night football, and Decatur playing its most hated rivals, the greatest crowd in this city’s footbail history is anticipated for the opener September 18. Erection of polls at Worthman Field was started Friday. A total | of 10 poles, with four lights mounted on each pole, will be put in place, giving Decatur one of the best lighted football fields in this section of the state. The Yellow Jackets. for the last two years champions of the north- i eastern Indiana conference, will face a tough task in starting off the new season with a victory Friday night. Six of last season's championship eleven were lost by gradua.tlon. as well as several good reserves.

The Tigers have already played two games, toeing to Fort Wayne Central by one touchdown early this week, and defeated Warsaw Iptit night in a freescoring game. Bluffton has not defeated the Yellow Jackets for several years I and will be out to spoil Decatur’s record against the foes from the Parlor City.
