YELLOW JACKETS The Decatur Yellow Jackets, playing very alert and agressive basketball, defeated the Portland Panthers on the stage at Portland last night 59-54.

Portland made a last effort in the final three minutes as for the first time in the game the Jackets failed to hit on their close-in shota. They managed to whittle seven points off the Jackets' lead, but could come no closer. The real tale of the game is in the statistics as Che Yellow Jackets hit almost 40 percent ol their shots, making 21 of 55 attempted field goals. The Panthers hit an even 25 percent, canning 22 of 88.
