Yellow Jackets Whip Berne Bears, 31* j

Decatur Five Opens At Home With Easy Win Decatur’s Yellow Jackets made their home basketball debut a success Friday night, registering an easy 31-19 triumph over the Berne Bears. The victory was Decatur’s third in four starts and Berne’s third defeat in five games. Last night's game failed, however, to provide many thrills for the fans who packed the Decatur gym, as the Yellow Jackets were • out in front practically al) the way in a poorly played tilt. The teams were tied at 1-1 before the’first field goal was scored after half the first quarter had elapsed, Kenny Grant putting the! Jackets into a lead which they 1 never lost. Decatur was on top I at the end of the first quarter, 7-4. j Neither team had any better; shooting luck during the second period, with the Yellow Jackets in- i creasing their margin to seven points. 14-7, at the half-time interimission. The Bears’ only field goal of the first half was tallied by Ron Krehbiel late in the first quarter. Decatur added to its advantage with the opening of the third period, and at the close of this stanza the Jackets were on top, 27-15. Each team tallied only four points in the entire final quarter, with Decatur using an all-reserve lineup much of the period. . The low scoring for both quintets was well scattered. George Bair was the Jackets’ top pointgetter with eight tallies on three field goals and two foul tosses. For the Bears, John Eichenberger and Ted Lehman each counted five points. Berne hit only five times from the field during the entire game. Both teams carried their poor shooting from the field right along to the foul line, the Jackets converting only seven of 18 opportunities from the charity stripe, while the Bears counted nine points in 25 chances from the 15-foot line. The Jackets will play their second home game next Friday night, entertaining the Concordia Cadets from Fort Wayne, while the Bears will be hosts to the sectional champion Hartford Gorillas at Berne, I Iso on Friday.
