Jackets Open Grid Season Here Tonight Decatur high school Yellow Jackets, hungry for a win, open their 1947 football season against a veteran Bluffton high school team at Worthman field at 8 o’clock tonight. Coach Bob Worthman will send his light but fast charges against the Tigers in his first effort to break a losing streak, since he became head coach at Decatur high school this summer. The Jackets limbered up in a final drill last night and received their new uniforms and a straight from the heart talk by the new coach. The locals average 153 pounds in the line and 158 pounds in the backfield, but Worthman has been drilling them on some speed plays that look like groundgainers. Season ticket sales are far ahead of last year and indications are that a record crowd will be on hand tonight for the opener. Albert Sellemeyer, local bandmaster, sent his squad through a workout at Decatur high school last night and the band will be ready to help the football team kick off the lid. It will be the first game for both teams this year. Bluffton defeated Decatur in the opener at Bluffton last year and went on to have a better than average season in northeastern Indiana competition. Coach Worthman has indicated that he will start Wefel, D. Grant, K. Grant and Lehman in the backfield and the line will probably include Baughn, Slusher, Gilbert, Grote, Bogner, Burnett and Heller. It is likely that 25 or .30 of the 53-man squad will see action tonight, and if the weather is warm there probably will be numerous substitutions. —. .... — n - Swearingen Dairy To Play Columbia City The Swearingen Dairy baseball team of this city will play a Columbia City nine at McMillen park in Fort Wayne Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock.

Dodgers Add Game To Lea ? ue Lead • New York, Sevt. 5 —(UP) — • Brooklyn’s worried baseball fans, who have learned caution over the i years concerning the St. Louis ; Cardinals, felt a little better today. Maybe it won’t be a Cardinal year after all. On paper, the Dodgers have been “in” as national league pennantwinners for a couple of weeks, but the Carde don't always do things through channels. As far as paper calculations are concerned, it was suspected that not all of the St. Louis "gas house gang” of former years could read. All they could do was battle briskly on the ballfield and win games. In 1942 the Redbirds stormed through September to overhaul the Dodgers and take the flag. Brooklyn admitted it could happen again, but when the 'Cards were rained out at Chicago yesterday afternoon and the Dodgers, trimmed New York at night, 2 to 0, the Flatbush sufferers found the pain lessening. That restored the Brook lead to 6% games, and Brooklyn has 21 games to go. St. Louis has 24. Vic Lombardi’s accustomed Giant -taming pitching, comoined by a few solid socks by Jackie Robinson, Pete Reiser and Peewee Reese, gave Brooklyn its win. Lombardi scattered five hits in beating New York for the 11th time in his career against one loss to them. The Braves trimmed the Phils, 6 to 5, after Philadelvhia led 5 to 0 at the end of the third. A trio of two-run innings produced the triumph. Cincinnati battered Mel Queen and Jim Bagby for six runs in the third inning enroute to a 7 to 5 victory over Pittsburgh. Homers by Wally Westlake and Dixie Howell gave the Bucs an early lead, but the Reds, led by Eddie Miller’s two homers, coasted in to an easy decision. Washington momentarily stopped the pennant-bound Yankees, 5 to 4. Joe Page was the loser and Walt Masterson the winner. Joe Dimaggio homered for New York, his 18th. A two-run roundtripper by Jeff Heath in the first inning and Fred Sanford’s five-hit hurling gave the Browns a 2 to 1 victory over De-1 troit. The Chicago White Sox nipped

I O ° New York, Sept. 5 —(UP)— “Sleepy Jim” Crowley, one of the famed horsemen of Notre Dame, figured today that coaching the “fastest backfield in football” was a cheap price to pay for tossing over a lush |30,000-a-year job. The smiling, chubby Crowley ruled last year as commissioner of the all-America conference but he resigned his lucrative post last January to become owner-coach of the Chicago Rockets. “That was real work, that office dodge,” Jimmy smiled happily as he contemplated sending his Rockets against the New York Yankees tonight. “This coaching is for me.” While all this would be a pose, with the season just opening, Crowley undoubtedly hae good makings , to rejuvenate the Rockets who sput- ■ tered so harmlessly last season. First of all, there’s that “fastest” ; backfield composed of Hunchy , Hoernschemeyer, Elroy (Crazy ' legs) Hirsch, Ray Ramsey and , bullet Bill Daley. ! “There isn’t any doubt about it,” ' said Ray Flaherty, the Yankee men- . tor. “You have the fastes backfield ’ in football. Why Hirsch, Hamsey ■ and Daley all can run the 100 in ’ less than 10 seconds. That should be a word of warn- , ing to the opposition. Sleepy Jim always has had away of dragging ; the best out of his boys. After the , horsemen had made their last ride, ’ Jim served so well as Georgia’s , backfield coach that Michigan State ; made a quick grab for his services, i From there Crowley went on to ‘ prosperity at Fordham, raising the ■ Rams of Rose Hill to national J prominence. It was at Fordham that Jim produced a line — “the seven blocks of granite” — which rivaled the famed “seven mules" who worked in front of him during his college days. Jim left Fordham to enter the navy. He coached North Carolina! pre-flight and, after a hitch of sea duty, emerged as a full commander and took over as all-America comI missioner. | • But now he’s really happy, back as a coach, particularly because of his backfield. There's plenty of reason, too. Hoernschemeyer, former Indiana-navy ace, was third in the conference in total offense last year. Hirsch, erstwhile Wisconsin star, and Daley, the Minne-sota-Michigan luminary, need no buildup. Ae for Ramsey, he was Bradley tech's greatest athlete.
