YELLOW JACKETS The Decatur Yellow Jackets absorbed a mild trouncing from, the Archers of South Side at the Archers gym last night 55-36, but the final score doesn’t tell the story of the game. The local boys gave the Summit City team all the competition they could handle for three quarters before giving ground to the definite height advantage of the Archers. The first quarter was all Decatur as the local team hit every shot but two from the field and played the bigger South Side team off their feet. With very fine rebounding and all around aggressive play, the Jackets hsld a 15-9 advantage at the end of the quarter. The second quarter saw the Archer's height begin to control the game. With the Jackets, getting only one try at the basket every 1 time they got the ball, the South Side team narrowed the margin rapidly. The Jackets stayed close to their bigger rivals and trailed by only four at the half, 22-26. The third quarter was close again until the final two minutes. The Yellow Jackets pulled to«within one point at 29-30 and stayed close until the big boys from South Side took over from the tiring Decatur front line. The third quarter ended with South Side ahead, 31-40. The final stanza was only a matter of time as the Archers, with their 6'6" center Bl&ckledge, controlled both backboards. The Yellow Jackets played a fine game for three quarters before tiring. Ron Vetter, high point man for Decatur with 14 points, and Fred McDougal played a very aggressive game. The front line of Hancher, Neireiter, and Kelly all gave the game all they had, but couldn’t keep pace with the tall Archers in the later stages of the game. Terry Murphy played a very able game as a spot substitute through the whole game getting several rebounds. Miller and Gerlg led the Fort Wayne attack with 12 points apiece.
