Yellow Jackets, Commodores Both Los|

Jackets Lose I Tough Battle To Garrett With their possible winning shots simply refusing to stick in the closing minutes of play, the Decatur Yellow Jackets dropped a tough 34 to 31 decision to the Garrett Railroaders Friday night on the Decatur hardwood. It was the first Northeastern Indiana conference clash of the season for both teams, also Garrett’s first game of the season. It was a nip and tuck battle all the way, with six points the largest margin either held, this advantage being taken by the Railroaders at the end of the third period. The first half was particularly closely contested. The lead seesawed all during the first quarter, which ended with Garrett on top, 8 to 7. The Yellow’ Jackets moved into a 10 to 9 lead midway through the second quarter, but the Railroaders again took the lead and were on top at the rest period, 16 to 14. Buckets by Freeby and Bogner gave Decatur a 20 to 19 lead at the half-way mark of the third quarter and Bohnke then hit a one-hander from close range to put the Jackets on top by three points, the biggest lead they held at any time. The teams were tied at 22-22, again at 24-24 and a third time at 26-26. The Jackets’ defense fell apart briefly at this point and Garrett intercepted three straight passes to go under for easy shots and take a 32 to 26 lead at the end of the third stanza. Ballard’s two free throws and one by Lehman cut the lead to three points but the Jackets could come no closer as their field attempts kept rolling off the rim. All scoring in the final period was on foul tosses, neither team hitting from the field in the final eight minutes. Schlosser was Garrett’s offensive ace with 15 points, followed by Poer with 11. Ballard led a balanced . Decatur -scoring with nine points. Both teams were inept at the foul line. Decatur converting only 13 of 31 free throws, and Garrett making only six while missing 10.

a Commies Drop Close Battle To Monmouth — After trailing five points early in the last stanza, the Monmouth Eagles struck back savagely in the final minutes to squeeze out a thrilling 26-25 win over the Decatur Commodores Friday night on the winners’ floor. It was a see-saw battle that kept the fans on their feet most of the way, although the Commodores twice appeared headed for a comfortable lead. The initial quarter was a lowscoring affair, Baker drawing first blood with a shot from the side after three minutes of play. Kruetzman tied it up when he dribbled in for one, then a minute later cut on a fast one to give the Eagles a 4-2 lead. Baker made a foul toss, but Kruetzman's third basket of the stanza left his team with a 6-3 lead at the quarter. In the second stanza, the Commodores chalked up seven points on field goals by Baker, Rumschlag and J. Gillig and Dave Gillig’s charity toss. Meanwhile, the Eagles added four points on Ewell’s two field goals, and it was 10-10 at the midway mark. The third quarter was faster. Rumschlag hit twice, Dave Gillig and Wilder once from the field for the Commodores, while Kruetzman still carried the load for Monm off th with two baskets. The 1 Commies added two free throws and the Eagles marked up the same, thus giving the Commodores a 20-16 lead at the end of the third period. Kruetzman started the last period with a free throw on Wilder’s personal, but Rumschlag hit front the side and it was 22-17, Commies. Kruetzman added another free throw and Getting stole the ball to chalk up a field goal. It was 2220, Commies. Rumschlag fouled on the play and Getting made good his attempt from the charity stripe. Kruetzman rebounded to score and give his team a 22-23 lead one they never lost. The Commies closed the gap at 24-25 and again at 2526, but the winners stalled the remaining one and one-half minutes, giving up four chances from the free throw lane to take the ball out of bounds and retain possession. The game ended with the Eagles still holding onto it. Kruetzman, of course, was high scorer with 15 points. .Rumschlag, lost on personals midway in the final frame, led the locals with nine.

I had fought in the Albania mountains for freedom from the Nazis and was wounded. Later the Communists of Bulgaria and Yugoslavia are killing our people and burning our homes. They killed widow Daphno’s husband and I was taken prisoner and put in an underground cell with 150 other prisoners and only 50 of us survived.
