Yellow Jackets Defeat Bluffton Tiger] —“ " ■ —- —By

Decatur Hands Tigers 44-42 Overtime Loss Those arch rivals, the Decatur Yellow Jackets and Bluffton Tigers, staged an uproarious, rough and tumble battle at the Decatur gym Tuesday night before the Yellow Jackets finally conquered the Wells county lads, 44-42. after an overtime session. Although typical of DecaturBluffton battles of bygone years, last night's struggle brought outlittle in the way of good basketball, with both quintets having a tough time hitting the nets. The Yellow Jackets seemed to have the game fairly well in hand practically the entire game but' blew a four-point lead in the last 45 seconds to allow the Tigers to knot the score at 37-37 at the end of the regulation playing time. In the overtime. Dick Worthman (cousin of Decatur's coach), hit a field goal from near the foul line. Vic Strickler knotted the count when he connected from underneath and Dick McConnell put the Jackets on top when he drove under for a two-pointer, but missed a free throw when fouled on the shot. Schlagenhauf tossed in a free throw for the Tigers and came right back with a fielder from underneath to put Blufftonl on top. 42-41. McConnell's free I throw tied the score again at 4242. With 20 seconds to play, Neil Thomas converted a free throw | when fouled and Strickler wound up the scoring with another foul toss, the game ending before Bluff- j ton could get away a shot. The first half was unusually low scoring. The Yellow Jackets held a 6-3 lead at the first quarter and a 13-7 margin at the half time intermission. Decatur was on top at the end of the third period, 27-20, and ran their advantage to 33-22 in the first two minutes of the final quarter. The Jackets were in front, 35-30 with three minutes to play and 37-33 with 45 seconds to go but a pair of free throws and a field goal, all by Bill Blair, forced the game into the extra period. Thomas was Decatur’s leading scorer with 13 points, while Don Lockwood was high for Bluffton with 11. The Jackets won the game from the free throw line, converting 18 of 39 chances from the foul stripe, while the Tigers made 14 of 26 opportunities. The Yellow Jackets will meet the Berne Bears at Berne Friday night. Decatur FG FT TP Freeby, f 12 4 Bohnke. f 2 15

GOV. DEWEY (Cont. From Page One) ry them out.” Dewey said he spoke bluntly as a politician who sought no public office. He accused the party of trying for years to gloss over a wide open split. He practically invited Republicans who would oppose the party platform to take a walk. He also repudiated the other Republican extreme which he said would match the new deal or even try to go beyond it at unknown expense. Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, Maine, was the third speaker last night. She joined Dewey in warning against extremes in either direction. “The Democrats went to extremes for minorities in 1946," she said. “The Republicans went to the opposite extreme for other minorities. They took a backward attitude. When a political party ceases to be a party of the people, the people throw them out. That's what happened to the Democrats fW SPECIAL MEETING THURSDAY I 8 P.M,
