* —Z — — — Yellow Jackets Lose To New Haven, 47.3

Third Quarter Slump Costly To Local Five The Decatur Yellow Jackets’ five-game winning streak was brought to an abrupt halt Friday night, the New Haven Bulldogs registering a 47 to 39 triumph over the Jackets on the Decatur floor. New Haven’s victory marked the Bulldogs' third Northeastern Indiana conference win in as many starts, and was Decatur’s second loop defeat as compared to one victory. The third quarter proved disastrous for the Jackets last night, New Haven overcoming a twopoint deficit at half time and moving into an 11-point lead as the final period opened. New Haven was first to score. Miner hitting a long one-hander, but McElhaney hit two in rapid-fire order and added a foul toss to give Decatur a 5-2 lead. The Yellow Jackets were never behind the rest of the half, holding a 13 to 7 lead at the end of the first period. Decatur at one time in the second period built its lead to 10 points at 19-9 but the Jackets tallied only a single free throw while New Haven whittled away to pull even at 20-20. Ballard then converted a pair of free throws while fouled in the act of shooting and Decatur held a 22-20 margin at the half. The Bulldogs pulled into a 23-23 tie in the first minute of the third period and the count was knotted again at 25-25. The Bulldogs then began to pull away and held an 11point margin at 39 to 28 as the final quarter opened. The Bulldogs kept safely out In front throughout the final eight minutes of play, with the Jackets able to cut only three points from that third-quarter margin. Scoring honors were well divided for both clubs, McElhaney leading Decatur with 11 points, followed by Lehman with nine. Sutter’s 12 topped New Haven with Miner contributing 11. It was the last home game for Decatur until January 30. when they entertain Auburn. The Jackets will next be in action New | Years day in the four-team tourney] st Bluffton.
