Yellow Jackets Lose To Geneva; Eagles Defeat Commodores In Net Tilts

YELLOW JACKETS The Decatur Yellow Jackets • dropped their opening game to the Geneva Cardinals, 61-59, at . Geneva, as Jerry Tester hit a shot from the corner with two seconds ( to go. It was a wild game all the way with the Jackets pulling away a couple of times only to have the Cardinals, led hy Jim Long and Tester, come back strong. The Jackets had their shooting eyes sharpened, but as usual in opening games, the ball handling was ragged at times. i The ball game started out close. ' Jerry Tester hit two free throws * to start the Cardinal scoring, but Dave Halterman and Bill Hancher i tied it up with a free thrdw apiece. John Neireiter hit three field goals and from an 9-6 advantage/ the Jackets went on to roll up a 21-12 lead at the quarter. Ron • Vetter and Fred McDougal both hit well | from out in this first - period I splurge. The second quarter was all Jim Long of Geneva. The Cardinal forward dropped in seven of ten shots from all over the floor. Jerry Tester added six points for Geneva and although the Jackets had a good quarter with 15 points, they couldn't keep up with the Redbirds’ torrid twins. Sophomore I Tony Kelly dropped in two last minute field goals, one out and one under, to keep a slim Decatur margin at the half, 36-34. Both clubs slowed down considerably in the third quarter as the shooting percentages came back , to normal. The Jackets managed to increase their slim lead to a seven spread as they slowed down, the game. The Cardinals scored nine points with Long getting , five and Tester four. The third period score was Decatur 50 and Geneva 43. I I The final stanza was a battle of the foul lines with the Yellow Jackets scoring all nine of their points from the charity stripe and Geneva getting 12 out of 18 points ; on free throws. Jerry Tester’s three field goals were the only two-pointers of the period. Dave ■ Halterman and, Fred McDougal, both fouled out of the game in the fourth quarter and their absence was felt. The Cardinals put on an all-court press and the Jackets were unable to get the ball across the ten-second line consistently. With a 58-50 lead against them, the Cardinals started eating into the Jackets lead from the foul line. Jim Long hit three foul shots. Tester a field goal, and Tester two free throws. After Ron Vetter made it 59-57 with a charity toss, Burke dropped in two pressure-packed free-throws to tie the score with 31 seconds to play. At this point coach Harold Schutz chose to pull a Milan on Decatur with his team freezing the ball until Tester’s fatal shot with two seconds; to play. John Neireiter led the Decatur scoring with 15 .points and played a superlative all-round game. He blocked several Geneva shots and rebounded consistently at both ends of the floor. Fred McDougal followed him with 14 and Tony Kelly had 10. The Jackets, with a little experience and polish, will give a very good account of themselves against about any competition. Jim Long led the Cardinal scoring with 27 points and Jerry Tester had 24. The Jackets next
