Yellow Jackets Lose To Bluffton Tuesday Night By 47-33 Score

Decatur's Yellow Jackets, colder than last week-end’s sub-zero temperatures, were handed a 4733 defeat by the Bluffton Tigers Tuesday night before a well filled Decatur high school gym. It was the sixth consecutive victory for the Tigers and also brought their season mark to a 9-7 record. For the Jackets, it was their 10th setback in 15 starts. It also marked Decatur’s third Northeastern Indiana conference loss as compared to one victory. Both quintets had a poor shooting night from the field, with each hitting only 14 field goals. Bluffton’s greater proficiency from the foul stripe was the telling blow, the Tigers converting 19 of 30 chances, while the Yellow Jackets made good on only five of 15 opportunities. Sixteen fouls were called on Decatur, 11 on Bluffton. Despite the poor shooting, it was a nip and tuck battle until late in the third period. The Jackets took an early 4-1 lead on a field goal by Terry Murphy and Dave Halterman's two free throws, b»' Bluffton went ahead at 5-4 on Dick Uptgraft’s two-pointer. The lead changed hands five more times in the first quarter, with Decatur on top, 12LL . x ... . The Jackets hit only two fielders in the second period, and Bluffton held a 19-16 margin at the main intermission. Decatur pulled into a 20-20 tie after three minutes of the third quarter, but then the Tigers piled up 10 consecutive points, which Murphy cut to « 30-22 margin at the third period. The Jackets could never muster a serious threat in the final quarter as the Tigers slowly built up their margin. Dick Lockwood, left-handed art--774«t, was the only plgyertn hit with any consistency, piling up 20 points on eight field goals and four free throws. He was the only player on either team in double figures. Fred McDougal tallied nine, Terry Murphy eight and Ron Vetter seven for the Yellow Jackets. The Yellbw Jackets will entertain the Angola Hornets at the Decatur gym

Sunshine, manager. *< • The Toronto team has refused to stop signing American talent and had been threatened with defranchisement by other members of fee Big Four — the Montreal Alouettes, Hamilton Tiger Cats and Ottawa Roughrtders. Bell said Ross and Sonshine told him' Toronto signed up NFL talent to keep on a par with other Big FOtir members., . The NFL chieftain said he recommended that Toronto solve its problems in its own league and then work toward naming a commissioner, which would represent the Big Four and its western count* erpart, the Western Interprovincial Football Union. Then, he explained, the commissioner could go to work on a “no-raiding” agreement with the National Football League that would be binding. i Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
