Yellow Jackets And Commodores Los

Eagle Forward Paces Win Over Yellow Jackets Paced by a sharpshooting forward, Fries, who never cooled off throughout the entire tilt, the Columbia City Eagles pulled away in the final stanza at the local gym Friday night to hand the Yelle* Jacket* a 41-31 lacing. Despite Fries’ continuous ringing the bell, however, it was not until after the last period was underway that the victors put the game on ice. When the final gun Hounded, the Eagle eagle-eye lial rung up 26 markers on 12 field goals and a brace of charity tosses. The game alternately waxed hot and cold as the Jackets pulled up to within three or four points and then again slipped back to trail seven or eight. Fries and some of the other Eagles did some accurate sniping in the initial frame to pull away to a 13-6 lead and it looked bad for the locals. Although he never reached the form he displayed against the highly-touted Huntington five earlier this week. Schnepf led a second quarter rally of the Purple, by hitting from the field three time*, and when the midway mark was reached it was 16 20 With Fries Mill switching the net. the visitor* stepped out to a 20-27 lead in the third period, but there the Perrymen braced and at the end of that frame the t ore was 24-30. For a moment after the start of the final period Jacket fans took hope Lehman on a dandy fake dropped one through and the margin was cut to four points at 26-30. Then Fries A Co. went to work again and started building up that final in-point difference. This lad Fries, of course, was the outstanding lad in the tilt from an offensive viewpoint. While SchnepUs 11 points was best for the losing locals.
