Jackets Lose To North Side Friday Night • The Decatur Yeljow Jackets - strayed frjom their home arena for the. first ; time Friday and made contact with a bunch of warring Redskins in Fort Wayne’s North 1 Side high school. In i the general melee followed, (he Jackets were massacred by a 75-43 Like Gen. Custer the last time he tangled with some redskins, the Jackets didn’t have a chance. ,7 Coach Clair Motz of the Redakins started Ron Allan, Warren Fisher, Tom Murphy, Froncie Gutrhah and Pres Brown in the NorthRiders seasonal opener, and this rangy, hoi-ahooting crew piled on the pointers unmercifully, especially during the first stanza when they poured 2G points through the hoop;. Bqt it was reserve 800 Winnifer tor the Fort Wayne aggregation who came into the game early ib the second quarter and stayed the rest of the viray to pace his team with- 17 points. Decatur’s veteran Jim Moses, rallying in the second half with JI points, shared the scor ing honors for the evening with another 17. , Although Decatur jumped into the lead with a charity toss by Kept Koons, the Redskins came back with baskets by Allan, Fisher, Gutman and Murphy, plirt a Fisher free thro4 to gßfe, the Motzmeia. what proved to be a commanding lead. ’ j-' It was only through the invention of the thrbw that the Jackets were able to score for the (iret 13 minutes! of play. They potted nine of them in the first quarter to trail 26-9, then the Redskins began tapering off to lead 43-19 at intermission time; their 63-30 at the three quarter mark was largely by reserves before piling up the final score. , The Nofthsiders outreached, the, Jackets, and utilized their height with a surprising amount of speed and accuracy to make it no contest, from the beginning. Controlling the backboards almost at will, the Redskins raced over the floor showing off a red-hot team, that couldn’t seem to miss. \ < , The Yellow Jackets return to a lot of hard scrimmages now, says coach Bob Worthman, then next Friday they return to Fort Wayne to meet a promising Concordia high school team.
