Yellow Jackets Open Football Season At Auburn Friday Night

The Decatur Yellow Jackets will launch their nine-game football' schedule Friday night, meeting the always-tough Auburn Red Devils at Auburn. Kickoff time is 7:30 p.m. Bob Worthman, athletic director and head coach of the Decatur high school, who has been directing daily drills for the Jackets since the opening of practice Aug. 16, today announced tentative lineups, both offensive and defensive, for Friday’s opener. Decatur’s line this year will average the heaviest in several years, but the backfield will be small this season. Thirteen members of last year’s squad were lost by graduation in May, forcing considerable rebuilding and reshuffling of team personnel by Worthman. Worthman is building his team around the 12 returning lettermen, with many of these experienced players slated for duty on both offense and defense. Os the Jackets’ nine-game schedule, five will be played at home and four on the road. Decatur’s first home game will be Friday night, Sept. 17, with the Jackets meetings the New Haven Bulldogs in a Northeastern Indiana conference game. Other teams to be met at Worthman field (starting time 7:30 p.m.) will be Hartford City. Sept. 21; Garrett, Sept. 24; Portland, Oct. 1; and Fort Wayne Central, Oct. 15.

Pop Warner Dies At Palo Alto Hospital PALO ALTO, Calif. (INS) — Glenn Scobey (Pop) Warner, historic football coaching giant and its most famed . innovator, was mourned today by a host of friends in and out of the eporting world. Warner succumbed to throat cancer Tuesday at Palo AMo_bo» pital in the city where he had made hie home for many years and where he gained hie greatest fame as coach of Stanfhrd university. The venerable "old fox,” who retained his interest in the game he loved up until the very end, was when death came. At hi® bedside Was his wife.. Mrs. Tp>b Warner, the childhood sweetheart wiom he mewled, ini ,1884 t.,, g- Funeral services will Ire held in Palo Alto and burial will tyke place in Springville, N. Y., Wftrner’e birthplace.

Upon graduation with a law degree in 1895, he became coach of the University of Georgia and at the same time acted as adviser tor lowa State. Then his coaching record read: Cornell. Carlisle Indians. Cornell. Carlisle, Pittsburgh. Stanford and Temple. Later he went back to his. alma mater, then to Carlisle Indian school, to Pittsburgh, to Stanford, to Temple and to San Jose State.

Giants Add To Lead With Win Over Phillies NEW YORK (INS) — Pitching may tell the tale d/wn the homestretch of both ma (or league pennant races. And ifxit does, the edge apparently rests with the Cleveland Indians and Milwaukee Braves. Everybody knows about the Indian pitching—beginning with the "Big Three,” Bob Lemon (21-6), Early Wynn (19-11) and Mike Garcia (16-8), and continuing through Bob Feller, Art Houtteman, Don Moasl, Ray Narleski, Hal Newhouser, etc., etc. A corresponding lack of dependable hurling has had as much as anything to do with the New York Yankees’ failure to keep up with the Tribe in the American League sweepstakes. In the Natoinal League, the Braves have been getting some fair country mound jobs too, from the likes of Warren Spahn (18-10), Gene Conley (14-7), Lew- Burdette (13-11), Jim Wilson (8-1) and others. Pitching shortcomings, meanwhile, have mired the Brooklyn Dodgers in third place and given Leo Durocher of the league leading New York Giants some anxious moments, too. The Lip sent Ruben Gomez against the Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday night with only two days' nest and the righthander needed help from Hoyt Wilhelm in the 11th as the Giants won, 3 to 1, holding the Phils to Granny Hamner’s homer in the eighth. Monte Irvin's two-run double off Curt Simmons was the decisive blow as the men from Coogan's Bluff increased their margin over Milwaukee and Brooklyn to 414 and 5H games, respectively. A tip-off on the Yankees' and Giants’ problems lie® in the fact that each has resurrected from the minors a pitcher upon whom they previously had given up. Tommy Byrne, who was too wild to stick in the majors before, although always a young man of considerable promise, is booked to start for the Yankees tonight at Baltimore. The Yanks recently purchased him from Seattle of the Pacific Coast League, where he was a 20-game winner and seemed to have conquered his lack ot control, i ..... The Giants, for their part, acquired George Spencer Tuesday from their Minneapolis farm club, where he had a 7-7 mark with a fourth place outfit George was the Giants' ace reliefer in 1951, when they made their miracle drive to the pennant, but he faded out of the league after the 1952 season. Durocher looked him over again last spring, but didn’t think he would help. Now almost anything would be an improvement over some of the Giants’ hullpen workers, so George is back. Turning away from the pennant races, the only American League game played Tuesday—Washington defeated Philadelphia. 5 to 4 — attracted what Is believed to be the smallest crowd in Griffith Stadium history. 460 paid.
