■Auburn’s Red Devils finished strong the last two quarters of a basketball game at Dfecatur high school gym Friday night and trimmed the Yellow Jackets, 63-49. The Jackets, even in defeat, looked rtronger and played their much larger opponents to a standstill during the first two stanzas of the contest. The count was tied at 11 at the end of the first quarter and Auburn held a 27-25 count afthe intermission. In the third quarter, Webb and Beers led the way for an Auburn bulge and the visitors were ahead at the start of ~ the final period, 48-34. . , The two teams again battled even in the final period, each gathering in 15 points, but the severe damage had been done and the Jackets wouldn't close the gap. Tony Custer, returning to the „ Decatur lineup after an injury had sidelined him for some time, had a good night, collecting 14 points on five fielders and four free throws. The Jackets looked good in their floor game but were unable .to connect on close’ up sbofts localise of the tremendous difference in size of the two teams. Coach Bob Worthman used nine players during the encounter. Roger Pollock with 13 points and Fred McDougal with 10 points assisted Custer in carrying on the offensive threat. Auburn's players were woefully weak at the free throw line, gathering only 11 to 21 for Decatur. In the field goal department the visitors held a 26-14 bulge. .

Writes Impressions Os Decatur On Leaving City

By JACK SCHREIBMAN To most of you today Is an ordinary day, the last day of the week. You married folks may plan to sit home and take it easy; perhaps you'll go to a movie or visit some fylends or relatives. The younger ones, it's a good bet, are setting their sights on the weekly tion. Yes, to most of you it’s an ordinary day. Not for me. Today is a milestone. Perhaps the most unordinary day of my life. The folks I have known during the past 20 months and seventeen days call me Scoop, and I have beeri proud of that nickname, though maybe 1 never let on to it. It began for me on a bright and breezy Sunday in April of 1952, when I stepped fearfully off the Pennsy coach car in Fort Wayne. 1 was spared, and the two beat-up suitcases thwacking at my sides showed it. I was to be the new reporter on the Daily Democrat and no man’s spine was ever as chilled as mine at the thought. Fresh from the Big City and anxious to know what a small town was like, I did not have long to wait. i 1 found out when a drug store sent me a small greeting to the community and invited my business; I found out when the folks on my beat did just about everything to help me but write my stories: and I found out when I i started to forget about New York and began to consider Decatur a home as well as a place where I was making a living. You’ve called me big cityish, cocky, arrogant—and even a few things I would not care to mention. But today, when I leave Decatur, many of you can call me friend. You have provided me with the happiest moments of my life, and the most miserable ones . . . no less than a man can expect in living his life. 1 have had heartbreaks and satisfactions, lonely times and one's crowded with sturdy fellowship of the kind 1 had never known. I have seen you in times of joy, and reported that, and I have seen you in times of tragedy, and reported that. Here 1 have learned lessons that will stand me in good stead in my personal life as well .as in business. I have learned them from you. But most of all you have given me my start in life, and a feeling for the human qualities that count in a world in which all too few are SO. hl£SS£d • .. times, when I "tpld-on-you,” and the ones that never got over it cry “good riddance.” But you. too. have repaid me for trying to do a good job by never accusing me of writing a dishonest word or trafficking in malicious writing. The payment also eame with the outstretched hand and a frank “sorry” for flying off the hafidlel And I have tried to heal the hurts I have caused by re :

As far as I am concerned, the strength and indomitable spirit of this country comes from the great heart that beats in communities like Decatur . . . where you are bom. go to school, marry, have your children, and die—making a lot Os friends in between.
