Yellow Jackets Lose To Garrett Team,

Lase Rally By Garrett Beats Decatur Five Trailing until the rnal period, the Garrett Railroaders roared to a 56-52 triumph over Decatur's Yellow Jackets Tuesday night on the winners’ court, It was the NEIC cur-tain-raiser for both squads. The Railroaders were led by junior Jack Clark, six-foot guard, who put on a one man show to net his team 23 points. Garrett's Tom DeWitt scored 14 points and De Wayne Harris accounted for 11 markers. Decatur’s Neil Thomas also ran with an even 10 points. The Yellow Jackets led 15-7 at the first quarter, 29-26 at the half and 43-39 at the end of the third period. Cameron Parks' outfit lunged back in the final stanza, bewildering the Purple and Gold with fast breaks, long shots and an impenetrable defense. Decatur was leading 48-46 with three minutes left to play, but soon lost the services of Dan Freeby and Sammy Bogner on fouls. Those who remained apparently couldn’t keep pace with the fighting Railroaders, who were masters of the court from then on. Garrett first pulled into the lead late in the second quarter, and from then on it was anybody's ball game. The Garrett offense, which in the first half looked lethargic, snapped into action. Clark appeared to be under the rim at every strategic moment. Local fans were impressed with the teamwork which marked the Yelow Jackets play until disintegration occurred in the.fourth quarter. The Railroaders relied almost completely upon the pitching of Clark, while Decatur's Hal Bohnke. Kenny Grant, Bogner and Freeby each lined up 9 points. Garrett now has a two-and-one record, having trounced Ashley and lost to Huntertown before last night’s angagement. Coach Bob Worthman s quintet, which started on the right foot against Geneva last Friday, will clash with another conference foe next Tuesday night at the lair of the Bluffton Tigers.
