Yellow Jackets Win; Commodores w

Jackets Edge Out Geneva In Overtime Tilt

Decatur's Yellow Jackets, launching their basketball season on the Geneva court Friday night, eked out a 49-47 victory over the Cardinals in an overtime thriller. Coach Bob Worthman's squad, most of them still working out the football kinks, quickly lost the three-point lead they held at the first quarter, trailing 23-17 at the half and 34-30 at the three-quarter mark. Things were knotted 44-44 at the end of the final period, but field goals by Neil Thomas and George Bair, and a free throw by Thomas turned the trick. Three Cardinals and two Yellow Jackets were ousted from the game on fouls, in a rough-and-tumble contest that at times brought out the football habits of the Decatur players. High scoring honors went to Geneva's hefty forward, Stanley, who succeeded in sinking seven field goals and five of nine free throws for 19 points. Sam Bogner led the Yellow Jaek/et scoring with 13 points, and Thomas, who came through when it counted the most, brought home a dozen markers. The fourth period was a see-saw battle most of the way, with neither squad more than two points ahead in the last six minutes. Harold Bohnke, who played a vigorous game for the Yellow Jackets, incurred the wrath of Redbird fans when he felled center MacWhinney, and was banished late in the fourth quarter despite Coach Worthman’s vehement protests. Kenny Grant made the overtime period possible, by throwing the tying foul shot in the dying seconds of the final stanza. Backboard play throughout the game was frenzied, with Decatur usually emerging second best. The Yellow Jackets were all too often off the beam in their long passes, occasionally setting up easy goals for the enemy. They made 16 of 34 foul shots, while the Cardinals hit 17 out of 29. Coach Marvin Mullin's quintet, with a two for four record, will journey to Montpelier Tuesday night. The Yellow Jackets will try to remain in the victory column the same evening when they tangle with the Railroaders at Garrett iu a Northeastern Indiana confer- 1 ence clash.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Big Delphos Five Defeats Commodores A towering band of Blue Jays from Delphos, 0., proved just too big for the Decatur Commodores Friday night, the Buckeye quinet overpowering their way to a 61-41 victory on the Decatur floor. The Commodores battled their hearts out but the vast superiority of the Delphos five, both in height and weight, finally took its toll in the second half to enable the Blue Jays to romp in with an easy triumph after a tough first half. St. John's broke away to a fast start on a pair of quick fielders, but the Commodores battled back, finally pulling into a 6-6 tie on Jim Meyer’s long field goaf. Delphos pulled into a 11-5 lead but Johnny Kable's basket and Wilder's foul toss cut the Blue Jays lead to only two points, 11-9, at the end of the first quarter. Decatur eventually eased into a 13-13 tie in the second period but Delphos again put on the pressure and moved into a 27-21 margin at the half time intermission. St. Johnn's used its physical advantage with telling . effect with the start of the second half and gradually increased its lead, holding a 45-28 margin as the teams went into the final eight minutes of play. Schmelzer. Delphos guard, was the night's scoring leader with 24 points on 10 field goals and four free throws. For the Commodores. Meyer was the leader on six fielders and seven foul tosses for a total of 19 points. Kable tallied 11 points for Decatur before being injured in the final period. The visitors' height and weight advantage was the decisive factor in the game. Boasting three boys well over the six-foot mark, the Blue Jays peppered away at the basket, often getting four and five rebound efforts before the small Commodores could battle into pos session of the ball. Delphos lost three players on personal fouls, all in the late stages of the game, finally playing the last minute with only four men. The Commodores lost two men on fouls, also in the closing minutes. The Commodores, after their wearing battle, will welcome their rest until Nov. 30, when they travel to Huntington to meet the Huntington Catholic Ramblers.
