Yellow Jackets, Commodores Both Lose r ridayi

Portland Five Beats Jackets Friday, 52-47 The Portland Panthers, one of the toughest teams in this section of the state, were given a battle royal by the Decatur Yellow Jackets Friday night before the Panthers walked off the floor with a 5247 triumph in the closing game of the season for both teams Portland has lost only one ball game all season, this one to Fort Recovery, O. A hot third quarter carried the Panthers to victory, despite a late rally by the Jackets which fell only five points short of pulling the battle out of the fire. The Panthers started fast, movin. into a 5-2 lead in the first two minutes of play, but the Jackets came back to pull into an 8-8 tie. Portland was on top at the end of the period, 12-11. The second quarter was a nip and tuck battle all the way, with Portland still on top at the halftime intermission by one point, 2423. The third period was rip-roaring scoring affair, the Panthers counting 19 points and the Yellow Jackets 10 to give the Jay county team a 43-33 margin at the close of the period. The Panthers were still leading by 10 points, 47-37, with three minutes of playing time remaining but the Jackets roared back to cut Portland’s final margin to five points. ) Bond, little tow-headed guard, was Portland's scoring ace with 18 points, followed by the Panthers' big center, Brewster, who tallied 14. Ray Lehman topped the Yellow Jackets with 14 points despite sitting out a portion of the game while tiding with four personal fouls. McAlhany and Freeby each counted nine points for Decatur.

He said the defense “is this f hoy’s history since he was born.” He said that Lang's environment contributed to a temporary insanity when Lang became angry r at Fellick during an argument.
