Jackets Score Victory Over Geneva Team The Decatur Yellow Jackets* opened theta 1951-52 season on a victorious note Friday night, defeating the Geneva Cardinals, 6+ 55, a.t the Decatur gym. As the final score indicates, it was A rapid-fire battle all the way, although Decatur was out in front all the way after midway through the first quarter... Geneva drew first blood when Jerry Tester hit a free throw. A foul toss by Kent Koons knotted the count and- Jim Moses then hit his first of nine field goals- to put tha, Yellow Jackets in front. Tom Craig evened the score on a short shot Ferris Kohne dropped in a rebound but Craig hit twice from, underneath for a Geneva lead. Kohne tallied a foul toss and Gene Morrison «hit from close range for an 8-7 Decatur lead. Bob Penrod tipped in a fielder and Geneva led, 9-8, the last time the Cardinals were in front. Koons hi t from underneath to shoot Jackets on top and Decatur increased, its margin to 25-18 at the end of the first quarter! The tempo of the game slowed, considerably in the second period, but the Yellow Jackets increased their margin to 11 points at 36-25 at the main intermission. " The. two county rivals just about traded point for point in’ third canto, which ended with Decatur on top, 52-39. A one-man ofensive by Larry Hanni at one time in the final quarter narrowed the Decatur lead to six points at 54-48. but the Jackets pulled away again to win by the final margin of nine points. Hanni of the Cardinals grabbed-high-scoring honors for the game with 23 markers, while Jim Moses, only regular from last year’s sectional champs, potted 20 to pace the Yellow Jackets, Neither team was too proficient from the sou. lines, the Jackets converting 10 of ' 22 attempts and the Cardinals 11 "/of 25. r 1 V .J ’The- Yellow Jackets . will tangle with the Bluffton Tigers at the Decatur gym. next Tuesday night in a Northeastern .Indiana congame, and the Cardinals will entertain Jefferson at Geneva next Friday. v ' Decatur FG FT TP MoeeS ... 1 9 2 20 Kohne i — 4 4 < 12 Koons 1 4 2 10 Morrison ...T 4 • 1 9 Vetter — 5 0 . 10 R.

1 o Today's Sport Parade I (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) . | By Oscar Fraley ' * o ~ — - — -a New York. Nov. 24. —(UP)—Leo Durocher may have proved to himself that nice guys don’t always finish last but Marty Marlon proved today that even when they finish third it may not be quite good enough. , . ' [ \ Durocher made that pft-repeated J remark a few years ago when he was baseball’s number one bad boy. But last season he stepped out of character and won the National, league flag. He was a nicer guy, anyhow,’ as he finished first. Still, there is a suspicion that this wasn’t a completely “new” Durocher. The • mailed fist simply was encased in a velvet glove. Leo still did his talking. He just didn’t do it in public and for the public prints. But Marion, a legitimate nice guy, got the heave-ho after doing a real good* job. He finished third with a ball club that most of the experts figured would be lucky to wind up fifth. And he did it the hard way, surmounting countless physical obstacles. The thin man who once whs one of baseball’s greatest all-time Shortstops had the Cards stacked against him from the first. The main reason was that owner Fred Saigh refuses to face the „fact that he doesn’t have a championship club. Still, slender Marty gave it a valiant try. Off the record, a third place finish with a creaking club, you have to concede that much. He was well liked by his players, and respected. He viewed their efforts as if he was a teammate, not a manager, and they gave him everything they had. First the club had a crippling influenza epidemic. Marty had to field a team of second stringers. -Then it was a rash of sore arms.

Not even little Eddie Stanky, who Is being sought for the job, could breathe pennant fire into those crippled Redbirds. Nor, under the current setup, cduld anybody s?lse who can’t contribute hits, runs and shutouts. ‘ I But the Cards have a franchise. Marion’s as manager,, was for only ' one year. He is the victim. For Marion vjas a freshman manager, making his first bid for continued baseball life. He had given’the Cardinals years of glory, only |to' wind up with a Bad back and an injured knee which put hijn on the shelf. ' But; nobody is going to give him another major league shot off that one year. He doesn’t offer the background and experience. So a promising manage: ial career was nipped in the bud.

Si)ch well-considered schools as Anderson, Kokomo, Washington. Aubiirn.. Frankfort ’ and Marion showed their rivals that Thanksgiving turkey and trimmings didn’t, slow them up in their bid for hardwood supremacy. Frankfort, one of the North Central conference's perennial dazzlers, had the toughest row to hoe. The Hot Dogs battled to a 49-tq-47 double-overtime triumph in tAi in ter sectional tilt over Michigan.

Kokomo, of the North Central league, won 76 to 56 in a ftee-scoring setto that saw 132 points racked up. The joy of New Castle fans over their overtime victory at Hartford City two : nights earlier faded when Anderson’e Indians nipped the Trojans 55 to 51. Anderson beat Greenfield last week.' Marion, which opened by beating Eastern last week, edged Seymour of the South Central | copferehce in an overtime struggle, 60 tB 55.
