Yellow Jackets Drop Tough 47-45 Tilt To Fort Wayne’s Irish

D*c»lur’s Yellow Jackets suffered their toughest loss of the seasoa Friday night, as the Irish from Fort Wayne Central Catholic came from behind in the final two minutes of play to edge out the Jackets, 47-45, on the Decatur floor. The Jackets, who had battled their heads oft all the way against superior site, fought their way into a 45-41 lead with slightly less than three minutes to play. Then big Jim flail, who towered over everybody else on the floor, hit a fielder, and after the Jackets missed a pair of foul tosses, Gary Janeway cut loose on a set shot which connected for a 45-45 tie with one minute and five seconds of playing time remaining. Decatur then took the ball down but could not hit on a pair of pretty fjir ihou. with C. C.' The Irish then obviously played tor that last shot, which Janeway tired but missed. C. C.’s site told, however, and Hall tipped in a rebound on the third attempt and Fort Wayne had the ball game won. as the Jackets barely threw the ball into play’ before the final «un cracked. ~ The game was close all the way. Decatur took early leads of 6-1 and 7-2, which Q C sliced to a single point, 9-8, at the first quarter. Five quick points by John Neireiter put Decatur’s lead back to six points, but the visitors kept pecking away and finally took the lead at 19-18. Ron Vetter tied the score at 22-22 but Hall converted a free throw to give C. C. a 23-22 edge at the half. The score was tied six different times in the third period, Dean Konger hitting from the field to give C. C. a 28-26 bulge at the end of the ktanxa. Decatur then pulled even at 41-41 on Roger Pollock’s field goal, and the same boy hit two free throws for a 45-41 lead to set the stage for C. C.’s winning rally. Hall topped all scorers with 17 points, while Pollock’s 12’ led a well-balanced attaek for the Jackets. v The Yellow Jackets face a pair of tough games next week, entertaining the Auburn Red Devils at the Decatur gym Friday night, and traveling, to Fort Wayne Saturday to meet the Central Tigers at the North Side gym.

He underlined that the terms of the NATO treaty provide only that after 20 years—that is ip 1969— any of the 14 signatories may withdraw upon giving one year notice. But unless such notice is given the pact would continue, Dulles said, adding that events, not words, would determine the future after 1969. The French government, increasingly uneasy about the intentions of the Anglo-Americans to keep their forces on the continent of Europe, was nonetheless uphappy about the 30-year disparity between the two treaties. It insisted that some special action b$ taken, pressing home its argument at the i NATO council's session; .

Wells announced today. He-said the net result should be savings of about $465,000 a year to policyholders. Generally speaking; rates for SSO deductible Insurance, will be higher and for SIOO deductible, lower. The changes were filed for companies associated with the National Automobile Underwriters Assn, and were approved by the State Insurance Department, Wells said the new rates will result in a premium reduction of about 14 percent for the state as a whole. He said reductions will range as high as 27 per cent tor holders of SIOO deductible policies In Evansville. te On SSO deductible policies, Wells, said a higher frequency of claims' “indicates increases are neces-_ ..sary ,” The average statewide boost will be about 7.8 per cent, he said. On SIOO deductible policies, he said the decrease will average 17 per cent statewide. Premiums will vary for individuals because of “realignment” of age group classifications, he said. Fire and theft rates on commercial automobiles will be reduced about 20 per cent under the new schedule, Wells added., - High School Basketball Fort Wayne North 54.
