Yellow Jackets And Commodores Defeated

JACKETS DROP CLOSE TILT TO MARION FRIOAY Decatur Loses 33-32 In Overtime Period Friday Night Friday night at the hug* l coliseum in the city of Marion. Coach Hugh Andrews' 1938-39 edition of Decatur high school Yellow Jackets definitely proved their heralded power—even in being defeated 33-32 in a hectic overtime struggle. For approximately 25 minutes of the fast and furious tilt, the Jackets were undaunted by six thousand pairs of eyes that gleamed from every nook and corner .in the big structure. For 25 minutes they outplayed a rawboned, rangy quintet that boasted three men over six feet two. For 25 minutes the Jackets failed to be frightened by the fact that they were meeting big-time competition, and as a lesult held the lead throughout most of the tilt. However, with about seven ' minutes to go and the locals leading by eight points. John McConnell went to the showers with his fourth and final personal. The Jacket defense apparently crumbled momentarily and the Giants tied up the score in the final seconds. In the overtime Hawkins, six-foot-three-inch colored lad. made good on a free throw when fouled by Highland and enabled his team to finish the victors. The Giants started fast and scored first but the locals rapidly rallied and moved into an 11-8 lead at the quarter. In the second quarter Stapleton's accuracy tin derneath kept them ahead at the half 21-14. Stapleton scored five times from his favorite spot under the goal on passes from his teammates. By the end of the third quarter trie Jackets still led 26-20. having lost one point of their seven-point maigin gained in the first stanza. In the last stanza. Hawkins made good on two free throws, Vogle stole the ball and scored, while Hawkins and Fowler both scored from underneatn to tie up the ball game. Marion took the lead for the first time since the opening minutes when Hawkins again WASH DAY WORRIES!

hit with less than a minute to go Kenny Gaunt's toss, however, forced the tilt into the overtime. For tl e Jackets it was a big disappointment to lose the tight encounter to the one-time state champions, but the closeness of t the game and the calibre of the opposition did much toward warn ing teams in this community of the Decatur team’s prowess.

SPORTS WRITER TO PICK STAR STATE ELEVENS Dick Miller’s Selections To Be Announced In Democrat By DICK MILLER Veteran Sports Writer and Football Official. (Special to the Democrat) Indianapolis, Ind.. Nov. 19—With in the next two weeks the Indiana high school football season will come to a close and the writer will announce the winner of the twelfth annual trophy “Triumph” awarded each year to the Hoosier prep eleven considered to have been the "most outstanding" team during the current season. The football season deadline, set by the Indiana High School Athletic Association, is November 30, but only a few of the more than 100 teams that engaged in gridiron play during the 1938 season are still in action. It is regrettable that most of the teams already are playing basketball, particularly during a fall that has produced such wonderful weather for outdoor play. The Northern Indiana situation still hangs in balance, also the far South. Emerson of Gary leads the West Division of Northern Indiana High School Conference with six victories and no defeats. Coach Art Rolfe's Golden Tornado rests this week, awaiting the East-West Division championship tilt with Elkhart at Gary on Thanksgiving day. Elkhart has the Eastern Division title clinched with five victories and no defeats to date. Mishawaka in second place, has lost one game while winning four and has completed league competition. Valparaiso has an enviable unbeaten and untied record. New- < castle boasts the championship of the North Central conference, the Southern Indiana high school conference winner must be considered and then there is Memorial of Evansville, so far unbeaten this year by Indiana competition. How ever, Don Ping's charges have a task cut out for them this week in Reitz high, a city rival to be played Saturday. Brother Cyril, athletic manager, and coach Ping are hopeful that Memorial will be able to hurdle the city barrier this week and if so will issue a challenge to any team claiming the mythical state championship. Memorial defeated Emerson early in the season. It is possible that either Elkhart or Valparaiso will accept the challenge and play in the week remaining after Thanksgiving and before the November 30 deadline is reached. Memorial also defeated South Bend Central early in the season. North Side of Fort Wayne was riding high until last week when Cathedral of Indianapolis blasted Coach Bob Null's state title hopes. Karl Huffine, Hammond high coach, and winner of last year's trophy, had a slow start this fall but his team seems to be in high gear now. Some say it is the best team in the Calumet section at this time. The field of contenders for the state title appears to be smaller this year than in any season in the memory of the writer. However, there has been a huge number of great players on the prep school football fields of Indiana this fall. According to A. L. Trester, Commissioner of the I. H. S. A. A. 98 association schools and 6813 individuals played football during the 1938 season. Several recognized high schools that comply with the eligibility rules and compete against I. 11. S. A. A. teams boost this total to more than 7,500 players. Each player submitted a parent’s and physician's certificate to school authorities and so far as we can learn there was no fatal accidents or serious injuries. This is particularly remarkable in view of that fact, ■ the ground was unusually dry this season. Fifteen schools and 280 boys ! participated in six-man football according to Commissioner Trester. It is logical to expect that as equipment accumulates and Interest and knowledge increases some of the schools will graduate to the eleven man team division. At any rate the boys were engaged in a wholesome outdoor sport during the warm i weather. Mishawaka, with 173 players had the largest football turnout. Shorti ridge of Indianapolis was second with 169 and Jefferson of Lafayette was third with 165. Technical of Indianapolis had 152 and Washington of East Chicago, 146. Little Center Grove of Greenwood played ! with only 18 on the squad and Oakland City with 24. The writer gained permission of the I. H. S. A. A. in 1927 to annual-

STATE CHAMPS BEAT COMMIES FRIDAY NIGHT Commodores Are Defeated After Holding Lead At Half For one half Friday night, the Decatur Commodores had the Gaels of St. Mary's of Anderson, for the past three years state Catholic champions, eating out of their hands, but with the resumption of play after the rest period, the Gaels came to life, took the lead and finally handed the Commodores a 23 to 20 setback. The Commies, after the long trip to Anderson last night, started fast, holding Anderson scoreless in the first quarter, which ended with Decatur out in front, 7 to 0. The Commodores maintained this margin throughout the second quarter, and at half-time the champions were trailing at 13 to 6. The opening of the third quarter was an entirely different story, however. The Gaels held the Commodores to a mere two points, while Anderson picked up nine to take a scant one-point margin at the end of the third quarter, 16 to 15. The Commodores battled hard throughout the final period but apparently lost the touch they held in the first half, with Anderson on top at the end of the contest by three points, 23 to 20. Decatur s scoring was well dividI ed. with Baker, Hess and Hain ' each hitting three times from the field for six points each. Hackman contributed the Commies’ other two points with a brance of i free throws. J. Broderick was Anderson's i leading scorer with three field i goals and a pair of foul tosses for a total of eight points. Commodores FG FT TP i Hackman, f 0 2 2 Baker, f — 3 0 6 B. Hess, c 3 0 6 !
