Jackets Play New Haven On Tuesday Night Decatur high school Yellow Jacket football team, battered from the Portland scrap last Friday, will go to Fort Wayne Tuesday night, where they will meet New Haven high school gridders at Dwenger park at 7:30 o’clock. New Haven plays its home games at the Fort Wayne gridiron. Kenny Grant. Jacket fullback, suffered an injured hip in the Portland game and it is not yet known whether he will be able to play Tuesday. Bruce Baughn also is nursing a leg injury, but he is likely to see some action. Coach Worthman sent his charges through a workout late this afternoon and drilling the squad on pass defense, a department which looked weak in the Portland game. With the exception of K. Grant and Baughn, most of the squad reported in good condition. A few of the players have minor bruises, but none that will keep them out of action tomorrow night. Last year New Haven took a close one from the Jackets in the closing seconds of the game and Decatur will be trying again to break into the win column. After Tuesday's game the Jackets are idle until October 10, when Columbia City comes to Decatur. All the members of the squad are showing marked improvement and local fans believe that the losing spell is about to be broken and that the remaining four games might be turned into wins. 0 Syracuse Wins Two In Row In Series Syracuse, N. Y„ Sept. 29 —(UP) — With the first two games of the Little World Series salted away, the Syracuse Chiefs hoped to win the third tonight before moving to Milwaukee for the series wind-up. The Chiefe won their second straight game, 7 to 1, with big Howie Fox, their a ce righthander, twirling an easy victory. After a big first inning in which Syracuse counted six times, the Chiefs romped home easy behind Fox’s sevenhit hurling.

Wisconsin Surprise Os Big Nine Loop Chicago, Sept. 23. —(UP) —Harry Stuhldreher’s Wisconsin Badgers were the surprise football team of the Big Nine today, but not because they won. Instead, Wisconsin caused gasps because its team defeated Purdue, 32 to 14, instead of 13 to 6 or some comparable low score. Wisconsin was rated as the favorite over Purdue, just as it was figured to take eighth place in the conference final standings over Purdue. But after the trouncing the high-stepping Badgers registered Saturday, more than one Big Nine camp has reason to fearj speedsters Wally Dryer and Clar-* ence Self. Dryer and Self, both experienced j hands from last year, were shuttled I to the background in practice when Earl “Jug” Girard returned service, and Stuhldreher began shifting his players round. But Saturday against Purdue Girard played but a few minutes, and the two'old standbys ran wild. Form didn’t run true elsewhere among conference teams on the opening weekend, although in spots the expected occurred. Vanderbilt tipped over Northwestern, 3 to 0, on a last quarter field goal by substitute Zack Clinard, but the Commodores earned the victory and clearly outplayed the Big Nine club. Ohio State’s stellar backfield was able to come from behind and down Missouri, 13 to 7, on a touchdown scored in the final three minutes. Minnesota's line matched the predictions by outcharging the Washington Huskies as the Gophers took a 7 to 6 decision. Indiana won handily from Nebraska, 17 to 0, as George Taliafferro and Chick Jagade both showed signs of 1945 championship form. Illinois played listless football for three quarters and Pittsburgh, muchly improved over last year, held the defending Big Nine champions scoreless. In the final period Dike EddJeman, a holdover from the Rose Bowl winners last year, scored twice, once on a 40-yard punt return and once on a 25 yard run after catching a pass, to give the Illini a 14 to 0 triumph. In the final contest involving a Big Nine team. Michigan behaved as expected, overwhelming Michigan State, 55 to 0, and scoring in every quarter.

Rookie Hurler To Toss First Tilt For Yanks New York, Sept. 29 —(UP) —A rookie pitcher whom they saved by paying his S2OO appendectomy bill drew the opening game world series assignment for the New York Yankees today. Defying baseball tradition, manager Bucky Harris nominated his freshman star, cocky Frank (Spec) Shea, a right-hander, to go after the first game tomorrow of what promises to be the richest world series in history. In contrast to the Yankee pilot’s decision to ride along with one of his American league pennant-win-ning stars, manager Burt Shotton of the Brooklyn Dodgers refused to come up with his series’ pitching plans. Apparently fearing that it would be putting too much heat on his young and relatively inexperienced , hurlers, the Brooklyn boss indi- . cated that not until an hour before • the 1:30 p.m. EST game time 11 would the Dodger starter be known, i j Everyone expected that it would . be Ralph Branca, the fire-balling 1 21-game winner, and that Shotton 1 was withholding a definite an- ’ nouncement in the hope that such I a vital assignment would not rei suit in the baseball jitters that I overtake so many young hurlers ■ when they know they have been : entrusted such an important chore. But that did not bother the skip-

per of the Yankees. He was confident that a young fellow who was good enough to force the ball club to pay for an operation a year ago last spring was going to look on tomorrow's opener as only another ball game. To those who figured that Shotton may come up with a “sleeper” Harris lent encouragement by revealing that he would switch his batting order in the event the Dodgers start a left-hander —little Vic Lombardi or Joe Hatton. Be it right-handed Branca or one of the southpaws going for the National leaguers, however, Harris disclosed that his series’ catcher would be young Lawrence (Yogi) Berra, who also has doubled in brass this season as an outfielder. That means that for the first time in world series’ history a rookie battery will go for one of the competitors. There have been three cases in which rookie pitchers started a series’ openr but nver with a freshman receiver. Babe Adams opened in one for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1909 but the other two rookies lost —Jeff Tesreau for the Giants in 1912 and Paul Derringer for the Cardinals in 1931. The Yankees are old hands at winning world series, capturing 10''of the previous 14 in which they have played. The Dodgers, on the other hand, never have won in their previous three series—losing to the Yankees in 1941, the Cleveland Indians in 1920 and the Boston Red Sox in 1916. That Harris took cognizance of the possibility Shotton may start Hatten or Lombardi came when he said that Berra, a long-ball hitting left-handed swinger, would be dropped to seventh place in the batting order if and when a southpaw goes for Brooklyn. Against Brooklyn right-handers, however. Berra will bat in the third slot.

A capacity crowd of 73,000, including standing room, was assured for both the first and second games to be played at Yankee Stadium and it seemed a certain bet that both new world series attendance and receipt records would be set. The previous high for a single game was the 69,990 drawn by the Yanees and Cardinals in the house that Ruth built on Oct. 7, 1943 and the highest single game receipt mar of $269,408 was set by the same two clubs at the Stadium on Oct. 4, 1942. Although Ebhets Field, where the third, fourth and fifth games
