JACKETS BEAT OLD RIVALS IN GAME TUESDAY Decatur Scored First Triumph Over Tigers In Three Years (By Pete Reynolds) The wurtn has turned! | Decatur’s Yellow Jackets, after seven straight setbacks, at the hands of the Bluffton Tigers, turned the tables with a vengeance Tuesday night at the local gymnasium. sending the Tigers back to the Parlor City with a 30-25 defeat over which to ponder. Last nights triumph was the first Decatur has scored over Bluff ton In basketball since January 5, HcTT, when the Yellow Jackets edged out the Tigers on the Bluffton floor, 20 to IS. A ‘Foul’ Game Last night's encounter was pretty much of a parade from one free throw line to the other, and back again. Officials Tudor and Welborn called a total of 33 personal fouls, with each team losing two men. McConnell and Brodbeck; of Decatur and Heller and Fishbaugh of Bluffton. A total of 14 fouls were assessed in the first quarter, seven on each team. From a scoring standpoint, the Yellow Jackets made good on 12 of 25 free throw attempts. Bluffton’s average was slightly better, the Tigers registering nine pXnts in 18 efforts. All scoring in the first quarter was on free throws. Decatur holding a 4-3 lead. Brodbeck made three of the foul tosses, with McConnell contributing the other. Bluffton took toe lead in the second quarter, with Fishbaugh counting two free throws and Kinsey one. With 12 minutes of the game elapsed, McConnell worked loose under the basket to count the first field goal of the game, tying the count at 6-6. Smith s tip in of a rebound gave Decatur a lead which they kept throughout the rest of the game. The Yellow Jackets held a 15-8 margin at the end of the first half. McConnell scored on another close shot as the third quarter ended but was removed from the game a minute later when he committed his fourth pefsonai. Bluffton further cut into the Yellow Jackets' lead but Decatur held a margin of 23-18 at the end of the third period.

JMSMfcWI. Ml? nEOfci — 11 (By Peie» Revenge is sweet! —oOo — Three long years we have waited for a Yellow Jacket basketball victory over the Bluffton Tigers. Now we have it. and it sets pretty well. —o()o — Prior to last night, the last time the Yellow Jackets markup a triumph over the rivals from the Parlor City was January 5, 1934. when Decatur eked out a 20-18 win over the Tigers at Bluffton. Since then. Bluffton has won seven straight games from the Jackets. In the 1934-35 season. Bluffton won. 22 to 20 and 34 to 31; in the 1935-36 season, the Tigers were triumphant. 33 to 32 and 32 to 25. In the now defunct A-B-D-K tourney, played in 1934. Bluffton beat Decatur in the final game. 24 to Ift. although the Jackets used a second string lineup in the tourney. Then on New Year’s day of this year. Bluffton downed the Yellow Jackets, 40 to 30. —oOo — Very seldom does this column i rant about officiating. However, | officials in last night’s game came dangerously close to ruining a basketball game. Fourteen personal fouls called in the first eight min- , utes of a game. The tendency , seems to be growing in this section towards over-officiathtg. much of the whistle blowing being entirly unnecessary. ■—oOo Coach George Laurent, after his Commodores went hay wire in last Friday’s game at Monroeville, has been working his charges overtime in preparation for the battle with Central Catholic of Fort Wayne at the I local gym Friday night. —oOo Last season, the two teams broke even in the two regularly scheduled games, the Commodores winning on the home floor, and Central Catholic triumphing at ! Fort Wayne. —oOo — I While the Commodores are entertaining their rivals here Friday :' night, the Yellow Jackets will play their second northeastern Indiana conference game of the season Friday. The Jackets will travel to Auburn to battle Zeke Young's Red Devils. Have a few words from other columnists on last week’s blind tourney. Here's what Simon in the Berne Review has to say: : “Two straight for the Bears over I Decatur this year, and six straight , . for Berne over the Jackets since Coach Erne is at the helm here. The game Friday was no doubt the roughest played by the two teams in many seasons. Thera was entirely too much bodily contact. Part of this can be blamed tc punk officiating, some to the Christ.Gremed 1 while you d I P. A. Kuhn Chevrolet Co. I N. 3rd at, Decatur

Defeat

I mas and New Year cheer, and still some more to the keen rivalry between the two teams. It was more 1 of a football contest than anything else." —oOo — Don’t know who picked the supposed all-tourney team but there seems to be considerable disagreement among the various scribes over the selections. Basketbawl had no part in the selections, never hav- | ing been a believer in such gestures. Rather an insane idea is our personal opinion. —oOo— Buck in the News-Banner has | figured the 10 high scorers of the 1 tourney, placing Hurst of Decatur thiru witli 20 points.
