Yellow Jackets Lose 1 ' - - ——~~—A—————■——— ——

Airedales Win With Rally In Fourth Quarter The Hartford City Airedales, rallying in the final period, edged out a 36 to 34 victory over the De<;atur Yellow Jackets Tuesday night on the Decatur floor. It was the final home game of the season for the Jackets and also the final Northeastern Indiana conference engagement for the year. The Decatur lads held an apparently comfortable lead of eight points, 27 to 19. at the end of the third quarter but could not halt the Airedales’ surge in the final eight minutes. The visitors kept pecking away at the Decatur lead with the opening of the final quarter, finally taking the lead at 30 to 29. Eichar hit from underneath to put the jackets back in front but Gilland hit a long shot and Tucker added a tree throw to make the score 83-31, Hartford. Tucker hit from underneath to make the margin four points. Eichar sank a pair of foul tosses to cut the lead to two points. Kamott and Eichar exchanged free throws to make the final score 36 to 34. The Airedales refused several free throws in the closing seconds as the Jackets at-

tempted desperately to gam possession of the ball for an effort to even the score. Hartford City won the game at the free throw line, converting 14 of 22 free throws, while the Jackets i connected on 10 of 18 chances at I the foul line. Twenty-one personals were assessed against Decatur■ and 14 against Hartford. bonn Eichar, playing his final game on the Decatur floor, led the Jackets with 11 pointe, followed by Steiner with 10.

Both sides were throwing increasingly heavy armored and infantry forces into the sodden Rhineland plain, and field dispatches said elements of seven Nazi divisions already had been identified in the battle. Far to the south. Lt. Gen. George S. Patton’s American third army widened and deepened its corridor through the Siegfried line beyond Pruem and added a few hundred bitterly-contested yards to its bridgeheads on German soil across the Sure and Our rivers. On a front of almost 100 miles between the attacking Canadian and American forces, three other Allied armies still were poised along the west bank of the Roerriver waiting to join the assault on Germany’s west wall, Berlin spokesmen, after pre-1 dieting for a week that the Roer offensive was about to explode at any hour, began boasting that their partial destruction of the
