Yellow x Jackets Whipped By Bluffton Tigers By 32-7 Score Last Night

The Decatur Yellow Jackets looked the situation over for a quarter and then decided to play some (trade A football as they dropped a 32-7 game to the Bluffton Tigers at the Bluffton field.— The Jackets kicked to Bluffton to open the game and after the Tigers returned the kick, to their 33 yard line, Dick Uptgraft shot through the middle of the line and sped 62 yards for a TD on the first play of the game. The Jackets were then caught napping on a short kickoff after Bluffton's try for extra point had. failed and the Tigers recovered the kick on the Decatur 34-yard line. Four plays later Randall passed to Uptgraft for 19 yards and the second Bluffton score. Again the try for point tailed and Bluffton led 12-0. The. Jackets took the following kick-' off and started down the field. Hancher gained two yards and then Rocky Strickler y romped around end for 26 yards and a first down. The Decatur drive stalled at this point as two losses and an incomplete pass plus a short gain pave the Tigers the ballon: their own 33 yard line. From there Randall ran 45 yards to the Deca-' tur 1! and three plays later Grove smashed 3 yards for the TD. Fritzpatrick ran for the extra point and Bluffton led 19-0 at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter was a scoreless exchange of punts with Decatur coming to life and holding the Tigers back in their own half of the field every time they' had the ball. The Jackets put together three first downs and drove to the. Bluffton 14 yard line but time ran out and the half-time score was still Bluffton 19, Decatur 0. Bluffton kicked off to Decatur to open the second half and after gaining one yard on two plays the Jackets pulled a quick kick. Debolt got off a very fine kick and ad it. bounced off a Bluffton player. Strickler recovered the ball for Decatur on the Tiger 13-yard line. Two plays later Strickler plowed over from the six and added the extra point and the score was 19-7 in favor of Bluffton. On the following kick-off came the play that broke the Jacket attack jdst as it was starting to roll. On a short kick that traveled to the Bluffton 40. two Jacket players touched the ball before it bounced out of bounds and although it had traveled far enough to be a free ball, Bluffton was awarded possession. From there the Tigers went on to add two more touchdowns and one extra point to win the game 32-7. Bluffton got one of their scores on a 36 yard run by Randall with Uptgraft adding the PAT. and the last by an 18 yard pass from Randall to Brower. The Jackets will wind up their home schedule next Friday night, entertaining Fort Wayne Central at Worthman field.

He said that even though a kick-off is a free ball after it travels 10 yards, the kicking team tin this case the Jackets) must retain actual possession of the ball before they are awarded the ball. So, despite the fact that two Decatur players touched the ball after it had become a free ball and before it went out of bounds, it was given to Bluffton because the Jackets had not actually recovered the ball. On most plays of this sort such as a fumble, bad centeV, wild lateral, etc., the ball is awarded to the team last touching the ball"before it goes out of bounds. 1 would not question the Official, but the rule itself seems hypocritical. , Although the football road for Decatur seems quite rocky this year and shows little signs of smoothing out, Jacket gridiron fans can look forward to better things in the future. Several of the younger boys look good and act like they really want to play. Gene Baxter, a sophomore, looked very good last night and showed a lot of drive. On several plays he refused to go down and dragged several Bluffton boys with him for two or three yards. Deßolt, a junior, got away some fine kicks and on some of them had very little time. Two of the punts traveled 50 yards in the air. Kelly, Moses, Hutker, Darwin -and Bean, to mention a few more of the underclassmen, have looked sharp. Also, it Is hoped that the- junior-high football league will help develop more boys. While Decatur was definitely outscored, the Jackets chalked up nine first downs to Bluffton's five.

W ■ To Continue Battle For City Charters Municipal League Vetoes Amendment INDIANAPOLIS (INS)—The Indiana league of women voters and the Indiana Junior Chamber of Commerce announced today they would continue to battle for the proposed optional city charter amendment .despite opposition voted this week by the Indiana municipal league. A joint statement of the organizations said the support was decided for the following reasons: ”1. It is permissive. Only those cities that want to frame a charter need do bo: , “2. The amendment is self-enact-ing—any city wanting to form a charter may do so without getting permission from the legislature. “3. We believe the requirements be elected six to 120 days after that a charter commission must the filing of a petition or passage of an ordinance is not too short.” Discussing another aspect of the problem, the statement said: “We believe the candidate! for the commission should not be selected on the basis of what particular form of government they approve but whether they are openminded, non-partisan and capable of deliberating the values of various forms. Experience elsewhere has shown that lengthening the tirjie creates rival camps advocating one or another form of government and such rivalry makes impartial deliberation by the charter commission impossible."

Blistering Attack On Toll Commission Harper In Attack Against Policies INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — »The Indiana toll road commission came in for a scorching attack Friday night by Democratic candidate for secretary of state. Floyd E. Harper. The Tipton Democrat spoke before a rally at the Marion count/ Democratic headquarters in Indianapolis. Harper charged the commission has perverted the intent of the general assembly and must be checked "in Its reckless course under the Gov. George N. Craig administration." The 41-yearold attorney added: "The law was passed to promote the agricultural and industrial Interests of the state yet the toll rood commission, with Governor Craig's approval, has admittedly located its route almost on tbe Michigan border to hasten lush profits for eastern bondholders. , “This clearly twists the meaning of the law ordering the commission to promote the agricultural and industrial Interests of Indiana."
