”—- ff Berne Bears Top Jackets By One Point The Berne Bears, battling fiercely all the way, upset the Decatur Yellow Jackets by a single point, 52-51, at the Decatur gym Friday right.’ The result not only avenged a loss the Bears suffered at the hands* of the Yellow Jackets in the holiday tourney, but pulled them even with the Jackets on the record, each with three victories and 14 defeats. It was. Berne’s second win in a row after a losing string of 14 in a row, and was Decatur’s eighth loss in succession. The Jackets, after trailing most of the way after the first quarter, nearly pulled the game out of the fire in the closing minutes, taking the lead three different times, but the Bears came back each time to knot the score or go ahead. The Yellow Jackets started as though to make the game a rout, piling up a 13-6 lead after six minutes of play, as Gene Vetter hit four times frpm the field and twice from the foul line, but the Bears battled back to whittle the margin to a single point, 13-12, at the end of the period. Berne took the lead early in the second quarter, leading by five points on - two occasions, and went to the locker room at the half with a 27-24 advantage. , The Bears increased their margin to five points at 41-36 in the thrid quarter, during which time the Jackets lost Kent Koons on personals after three minutes had been played. i Berne had a three-point lead at 47-44 at the half-way. Qf the final stanza but a pair of ffee throws by Ferris Kohne and a long ..one--1 ander by Jim Moses put Decatur on top, 48-47. Two foul tosses by Jerry Sprunger and one by Kohne had the count tied at 49-49 with two minutes to play. Gene Mosrison’s two-pointer put the Jackets back in front but Stew Miller again tied it. Paul Sprunger tallied /he winning point for the Bears when he converted a free throw when fouled in the act of shooting. The Bears refused the second foul shot to keep possession of the ball, and refused three more free .throws in the closing seconds as the Jackets fought desperately to gain possession. Moses and Phil Kaehr both fouled out in the last minute. Berne’s scoring was well divided, Paul Sprunger leading with 14 points, followed by Jerry Sprunger with 12 and Miller with 10. Kohne topped all scorers with 18 points.
