Both Decatur Quintets Drop Close Decisions In Games Last Night

The Decatur Commodores’ luck* isn’t getting any better. — ' | The Commodores dropped their 1 eighth in a row Friday night, this time another one by the narrowest of margins, 54-53, in a closelyfought battle with the Adams Central Greyhounds on the Adams Central floor. \ On the Decatur Catholic boys' last four losses, two have been by one point and’another by two. Last night’s tilt was close practically all the Way. After the Greyhounds scored, the first three points of the game, the Commodores worked into ties, at 3-3 and 5-5, then moved out to a sevenpoint bulgfe at 14-7 with less than a minute to go but\Adams Central hit a pair of Quickies to cut De-. cAtur’s margin to J 4-11 at the first quarter. The rivals were tied four times during a tingling second quarter, with the Commodores leaving the floor at the intermission with a 29-27 advantage.

Despite battling gamely from behind to overtime, the Decatur Yellow Jackets failed to muster up enough sustaining power against Warsaw’s Tigers at Warsaw Friday night and dropped their fifth of the season 46-42. Evenly matched throughout, the ball see-sawed most of the time, with inaccurate shooting, from a distance and close-up the rule and not the exception. Tony Custer wasted no time and ten seconds after the tip had dumped one in for Decatur. Rog Pollock shared that honor with him in the first period and the balance of the score was in fouls. Decatur had no trouble holding the Tigers to 11 points, making 6 themselves, as the steam was nowhere near where it should have been. That came in the second period when Warsaw started to see the light and Decatur quit acting groggy. The 11 points by Warsaw belonged to Morehead, 2, Baker, 1, arid Evans. 1, all field goals. They •hared three free throws among them. Custer’s one goal, matching Krick’s, Neireiter’s and McDoug al’s, in addition to two foul shots raised Decatur to 16. And at the end of the half the score was 2216, Warsaw. At the third the scoreboards blew a gasket and refused to work. A stopwatch was obtained and a standing timekeeper got the game on the way again. Until this point, fouls had been minimized, but the 6 points scored by Warsaw in the third period, and Decatur’s 10 were accompanied by 30 fouls on both sides. Four of Decatur’s tally were in foul.s three for Warsaw. Decatur missed 14, Warsaw 10. With the score 39-37 'Warsaw, with seconds left, Bob Baker saved the \day, temporarily, with his sinker. Overtime for Decatur failed to produce anything but three free throws made, finally winding up on the short end of a 46-42 tally. Next is an away game at Columbia City Wednesday, Dec. 23, when the local boys will attempt to wrest their second victory of the season. ' \ Decatur FG FT TP Custer 3 0 6
