JACKETS LOSE TO NEW HAVEN FRIDAT NIGHT Bulldogs Score 27-22 Triumph Over Decatur Yellow .Jackets An inability to hit from the foul line and a disastrous second half spelled defeat for the . Yellow Jackets Friday night at New Havi en and let the Bulldogs avenge an earlier season defeat with a 27-22 victory The loss snapped a four-game winning streak which Coach Andrews' tnen had started against Huntington. The game was a misfit the entire way. The Jackets, who had been displaying vaunted power in their last appearances on the local i hardwood couldn't seem to hit their former stride last night. During the entire first half Big Jim Highland held the Bulldog scoring ace, Dienelt, well in hand and gave up but two baskets and a brace of tree throws to the Dutch senior. But in the second half the blonde menace lived up to his reputation and when the tilt was over had amassed the grand total of 18 markers on seven baskets and four charity tosses. The Jackets held a 6-5 lead at quarter-time and increased their margin to 15-12 at half-time, but trailed 20-23 at the third period | finish. The locals made but four of 13 attempts from the free throw line, which can be cited as an important factor In bringing about the loss. Johuny McConnell and Zerkel shared scoring honors for the locals with seven points each. Dienelt, of course, led the Bulldogs. A free throw in the extra-period gave the Bulldogs a clean sweep when they won the reserve preliminary 27-26 in a thrilling overtime engagement. Decatur FG FT TP Shoe, f 0 0 0 Gaunt, f 2 1 5 C.
