DECATUR HIGH TO OPEN GRID CARD SEPT. 16 Yellow Jackets Play At Bluffton Next Friday In Season Opener It will be n lighter Decatur' high school Yellow Jacket team I that takes the field next Friday ; night at Bluffton against their j arch rivals, the Bluffton Tigers. , But an added year's experience for almost all of the boys is ex-I pet ted to more than make up for j the decrease in weight. Under the watchful eye of Head ' Coach Hugh Andrews and his ■ assistant, Deane Dorwin, the Yel-| low Jackets have been going through intensive practice sessions daily in rounding out the : smoothest possible working combination for the season’s opener' next Friday. Keeping in mind the edge given the Parlor City Tigers by the de | lay in opening the schedule here.l Coach Andrews has not permitted 1 the boys to ease up a bit in prac-: tice. The fact that Bluffton will have | played two games before meeting , the Jackets, for whom the contest is the opener, has been the motive | for intense workouts each day. In daily scrimmages the Jackets ’ look good. With eight regulars ' from last year as a nucleus. ' Coach Andrews feels confident of turning a strong team into the N. E. I. C. this season. Six of the best backfield men are fighting it out for the four * posts available. McConnell and | Walters are the two lettermen i from last year who seem practically assured of backfield berths. McConnell will undoubtedly be Coach Andrews' choice for the quarterback's job and is expected i to do a great deal of the ball

|* . * GAME CANCELED Manager Mies of the Mies || | Recreation team, announced ij this morning that the scheduled I game with Monroeville, to be I, played at Worthman Field Sun- ’ day afternoon, has been can- j i i celed. Preparations for the coming football season have made the local field unavailable and Monroeville was unable to provide a diamond, hence the | ■ cancellation. t =?l i carrying. In addition to these two. Staple- | ton. Zeikel, Tricker and Maloney i are the most promising backfield ! men. It is considered probable I that the six will alternate to en- ; • able Andrews to throw fresh pow : er into the hall carrying at var , ious Intervals. Although quite a bit lighter than last year's line, this season's forI ward wall is much more experI lenced. Minus some of the heavyI weights of last year, such as ' Laures Myers, the line promises ; to present a formidable front for , the Jackets. i Os the nine more promising can-1 I didates, six are lettermen from ; 1 mst year. Andrews. Highland. ! Shoe. Neidigh. Freidt and Stalter. ; all veterans, are back again. I Brown. Melchi and Woodhall com- , plete the list of varsity line prospects. I All in all. it is agreed that the j prospects for a winning ball team j are much brighter than at the be--1 ginning of last year and the Jack- i ! ets are expecting to mark up : their share of victories on the right side of the ledger before the j close of the season. Then, too, there's a little score i of a 19-19 tie in last year’s en- ! counter, when the Tigers twice i came from behind, which the locals expect to even with the | Parlor City rivals. The probability that a second I team game would be held as a l preliminary event next Friday was seen today by school offi- ‘ cials and coaches. Last year's reserve clash having proven a successful and interesting exhibition, leaders of both schools are planning a similar game starting at 7 p. tn., preceding the varsity tilt Friday. — o BEG PARDON!

GRID PRACTICE AT NOTRE DAME SQuad Os 95 Candidates I Opens Practice Under Elmer Layden Notre Dame, Ind , Sept. 10 — Coach Elmer Layden today greeti ed a squad of 95 candidates for i the 1938 Notre Dame football team at the opening practice of i the year. Layden and the squad ! were in turn greeted by a battery of newsreel and newspaper photo- | graphers who took over the opening session. From his large squad, only 10 members of which are monogram winners. Layden and his assistants will pick a lineup to face Kansas in the opener here Oct. 1. i He will have the advantage of i twice daily practice only until I next Thursday when classes start While no position is definitely set, it appears likely that last year's two returning regulars. Ed Beinor at left tackle and Joe Thesting at fullback, will retail their positions. Thesing will get competition from Mario (Motts) Tonelli and Ed Simonich. monogram winners. Earl Brown. Jr.. only monogram winning left end on the squad, appears to have the | inside track at his position. Capt. Jim McGoldrick, who i understudied Joe Ruetz last year. ' is the leading left guard candidate. Ed Longhi, the only letterman at center, will probably get the call at the pivot spot. Meanwhile, the right side of ’he line presents a wide open scramble for positions Paul Kell, shock troop right tacklie. is the only letterman available on the con servative side of center. Five of the first six right guards and the fisrt four right ends received degrees last June. Augie Bossu, who played with the third and fourth teams last fall, and Chuck Riffle, a trans formed fullback, led the rigb guards free-for-all in spring drills , John F. Kelly, a junior this year, saw action with the fourth ant' fifth teams last fall at right end and he appears to have the nor' with the starting team at thi time. The presence of three tnonc gram fullbacks helps to solve thr backfield problem. There is n< monogram winner available a' quarterback, but Bill Hofer, Stev< Sitko. and Emmett Crowe hav< ■ all had experience. Jack McCar ! thy must be replaced at left helf back, and it looks now like Harry. Stevenson, a letterman. Benny ' Sheridan and Bob Saggau will 1 fight it out for the first team honors. Lou Zontini. who won a letter at left halfback last fall, made a good impression at right half in spring drills. Mike Cor-, gan of the fourth team is the only other returning man so rthis position. Coach Layden has expressed the belief that the 193 S season may be made or broken in early games* Kansas. Georgia Tech, ' Illinois, and Carnegie Tech sea-i ture the first half of the schedule, j Should the Irish overcome their i inexperience to make a good showing in these early tests. Layden believes that they might finish better than .500 for the sea-
