Yellow Jackets Win: Commodores Loi

Jackets Beat Columbia City Friday Night Rallying in the final quarter after trailing for most of the ball game, the Decatur Yellow Jackets defeated the Columbia City Eagles, 46-41, at the Decatur gym Friday night, marking the Jackets’ fourth victory in a row and their eighth triumph of the season as compared to three losses. The victory’ pulled the Jackets up to the .500 mark in the NEIC with two wins and two defeats. Sam Bogner, unable to find the range all night long, finally clicked in the closing minutes, hitting twice from the field and once from the foul line after the Eagles had pulled into a 41-41 tie. The Jackets, apparently suffering a letdown after their superlative performance against the Huntington Vikings Tuesday, trailed through most of the first three per iods last night. Columbia City took an early lead and was on top at the end of the first quarter, 13-10. Bogner's only field goal of the first three quarters put the Jackets into a 16-15 lead and Decatur went on to assume a 20-17 margin, only to have the Eagles tie the count at 20-20 and go ahead at 22-20, Harold Bohnke’s ■pair of foul tosses again knotting the score at 22-22. Don Lloyd then hit a free throw and a fielder for the Eagles to give the visitors a 25-22 advantage at the half. Columbia City had increased this margin to five points, 37 32, with one minute to play in the third period, but a free throw by Nell Thomas and a two-pointer by the same boy pulled the Jackets within two points, 37-35, as the period ended. George Bair’s two-pointer tied the score and the Jackets then hit four foul tosses in a row to take a 4137 lead. Jack Stalf, one of the conference’s outstanding ball players, then hit his sixth fielder of the game and Lloyd also hit from the field to tie the score at 41-41 with two minutes to go Bogner then put on his game-winning act. Decatur’s scoring was again well divided, Thomas leading with 13, followed by Bohnke with 10. Stalf was outstanding for the Eagles with 15 points, followed by Lloyd with 11. The Jackets will now take a brief vacation, resting until Tuesday, Jan. 13, when they entertain the Warsaw Tigers In a Northeastern Indiana conference game on the local floor.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

'Late Rally By Eagles Downs Commodores Decatur’s Commodores saw their three point margin of 'apparent safety vanish in the closing minute and a half of play Friday night as the Monmouth Eagles surged back to a 34-33 victory. It was a sad night for Dave Terveer’s charges, who held their own until the closing seconds of the fray. The teams were tied 10-10 at the first quarter, Monmouth led 1713 at the intermission, and things were knot’ed 20-20 at the threequarter mark. Going into the fateful <final stanza Decatur's John Kahle and Bill Gillig opened up with a pair of field goals. Eagles Jim Merriman and Ray Graft retaliated with buckets of their own, and the score was again tied at 24-24. Dick Gage put the Commodores into the lead, 26-24, and Merriman and Jim Meyer traded charity throws. Bob Harvey sank a field goal and a free throw for Monmouth and Merriman came through with ano her two-pointer, to put the Eagles ahead 30-27. It was Meyer. Kable and Meyer again from the floor, and the Green and Gold held a 33-30 margin with a minute and a half left in the ball game. But Decatur never scored again. Responsible for the tour points that meant victory for the Eagles were Harvey and Merriman, each of whom penetrated a do-or-die Commodore defense to sink one. Decatur’s Achilles's heel last night was its passing. More than half a dozen Commodore passes were intercepted by frisky Monmouth players, and turned into enemy scores. Both teams used zone defenses. Commodore guard Meyer topped the scoring heap with 14 points. Harvey and Merriman tallied 11 and 10. respectively, for Monmouth. Both teams made good on half of their free throw attempts. With eight losses and two victories behind them the Commodores will attempt to play the role of giant killers January 21 when they travel to Hartford. Myron Lehman's quintet, whose record isn't much be'ter. will entertain Petroleum next Tuesday.

STATE G. 0. P. (Cont. From Page One) anyone.” One legislative leader said the 28 GOP mambers of the senate would serve as their own policy committee and make decisions. “We're here to serve the people of Indiana," said another, “and, of course, our party, too. But we can’t do it by promoting the political interests of any group or individual within the party.” Another legislator said'the assemblymen wanted no part of the arguments and bickering which have plagued the GOP in recent years and during the last campaign. "if we get our own fights mixed up in the legislative program, we won’t get anywhere and we'll be the minority party from now on,” he said. The legisla’ure adjourned Friday noon until Monday at 10 a.m. after convening to formalize Gov.-elect Henry F. Schricker's election. Seven bills, including one proposing central standard time as the only time for Indiana, were introduced in the senate. An agreement in the house would postpone any bill introduction until Tuesday, after Schricker's inauguration on Monday morning In the Rate house rotunda.

Schricker will deliver his first message to the assembly in another joint session Tuesday and other serious business on that day probably will be limited. But a flood of bills probably will fall into the hopper beginning Tuesday afternoon and then the grind of turning outlaw starts.
