' Tough Final Battle Saturday’s final game was a tough, hard-fought^battle all the way- before the Yellow Jackets finally emerged with- their fourth straight- sectional title by the three-point margin. The Spartans started as though bept on smashing the Jackets* sectional streak in a hurry, pouring in seven points before Decatur tallied. Bud Case netted the first point with a free throw, and then Jack Raudenbush hit one from the field and Jerry Price, the dimimutlve set shot artist, clicked on two to row. Gene Vetter finally broke the ice for Decatur, hitting a field goal for the Jackets* first points after two and one-half minutes of play. Decatur kept whittling away at the -Spartans’ dead, and finally pulled into a 13-13 tie on Gene Morrison’s free throw In the closing seconds of,the first quarter. Kent Koons opened the secondperiod Scaring with a two-pointer, sending the Jackets into the lead for the first time. The teams were tied at 15-15. 17-17, ad 19-19 after three minutes of play, but Jim Mtees thbn hit two in a row and Dvatur cgrrjed -on for a 26-23 adVaMuge ’hi the; half. h 4t took ths Spartans, only half: a mlpute jrr'the 'third quarter to efpaf.,tH(ft-;laad on a free throw by' Cgse aad*ar fieldor by Billy Johnsop.

Foul tosses by Morrison and Koons. plus a pair of buckets by \ Morrison and one by Moses boosted Decatur’s total to 39 while Price hit the Spartans’ only points to make the Pleasant Mills total 33 at the close of the third period. That margin was too much for the Spartans to overcome, al- \ though they pulled within four points at 40-36, 42-38 and 46-42. but ' came within three points only in the closing seconds. Both quintets had well balanced scoring in the titular battle. Moses topped the Jackets with 14, while Morrison equated 13 and Koons L 41. Three spartans, Raudenbush, Casa and..- Painter, each tallied 11 • points, and Price 10. Decatur outscored Pleasant. Mills from the field, 26-17.

—■—— Congratulations, Yellow'; Jackets and Coach Bob! •> ? —oOo— : I J ’1 The Decatur Yellow Jiaclets copped their sou th consecu ivfe sectional championship Saturiday night by disposing of the Pleasatt| Mills Spartans in; a hard-fought, splendidly played final giuhe hetore another Jammed Dleeatui' cyin. While the eight Adams county teams put their suits away end look, forward to nekt year, the Jackets will buckle down to hard work in preparation lor the regional tourney at Fort Waynfe : North Side Saturd ly. — oOq-- .1 The Jackets will tangle with th4 Kendallville Comets in tiife second regional scrap at approximately 2:15 o’clock Saturday afternoon;, The first game, al 1 p. m., is expected to provide! one ,<>f the state’s outstanding tilts as the Auburn Red perils, winners pf tliti regional crown tie past three years, battle the Fort Wayne Cetij tral Tigers. ' A' - -000— The Jackets hope to reverse a regular set .son 62-52 defeat Inflicted by the ; Comets at Kendallville. and advance to the reg ; ional final at 8:15 Saturday night. Last year. Auburn defeated Central in the afternoon tilt and then downed the Yellov Jackpts, Who had whipped Kendallville in the aLemoon, for thej tourney (itle. From our viewpoint, and from the big majority of fans to whom we talked, Decatur’s first experiment with the twobracket tourney setup here last week was a decided sue-, cess. Far more saps were en- , abled, under this plan, to see {heir own team in action. We heartily favor a continuation bf this year’s setup. —oOp— Northeastern Indiana conference teams fared excellently in last week’s sectional battling, with NEIC teams winning fi\ve of a possible six championships. Decatur won at Decatur. Bluffton at Blufftop (the first time in yearpL Au bujrn won at Garrett, Kendallville at .Kendallville, and Warsaw at Warsaw. Os the other three NEIC schools, Columbia City lost in the Warsaw finals. Garrett lost in- the same sectional Won by Auburn, and New Haven j was iellnjiinated In the Fori Wayne meet. OOp — ’ j ' :■ | Boh Holthouse pf the liohhotise , drug store was still working today on the winner of tjhe seitlpnal dop’.ng contest. He reports 36 entrants predicted the winner PI every game, and store ;«re now sifting through these 36 to determine the‘person guessing the closest to corjre< t scores. Last year, only one ! entrant picked every winner. Looks like at least 36 persons in the pounty are better at this guessing business than basketbawl. 1 ■ 1' ! I, > -H.

528 REGIONAL TICKETS • Hugh J. Andrews, Decatur high school principal, stated today that Decatur, winner of last week’s sectional, has received , 528 tickets for the regional tourney at Fort Wayne North Side Saturday. Os this ctotal, 'four are reserved for cheer leaders along the floor. This leaves only 524 for Decatur fans, as compared to 582 received last year. Applications \ for regional tickets from Decatur season ticket holders will be in the mail Tuesday morning, Andrews stated, and must , be returned, Wednesday. A drawing will be held Thursday morning to determine fans who will receive the regional ducats, and they wii'| be notified by mail Friday morning. The drawing will be supervised by Mis. Randolph Brandyberry, president of the Lincoln PTA. Hhe regional tickets are priced at $1.60, good for both sessions. All . tickets are for reserved seats. Daily Democrat’s “Hello” 'girl during the sectional, reported that calls on the sectional scores fell off decidedly Saturday, doubtless due to the play-by-play radio broadcasts over radio station WGL by Len Davis. Pauline had a total of 1,709 calls during the tourney, 400 Tuesday night, 775 Wednseday night, 442 Thursday night, but only 92 for boththe .afternoon and night sessions Saturday. . ■ SEN.
