The Decatur Yellow Jackets ran out of gas in the second half, to drop their seventh football game of the year to the undefeated Bluffton Tigers at Worthinan •field Tuesday night, by a 24-6 score.

Bluffton opened the game kicking off to Decatur, but the Jackets were unable to move the ball and punted. The Tigers, paced by a big,-speedy fullback, Allan Scott, looked as if they were going to break the game wide open from the start. The punt -was returned to the Decatur 37-yard line and after one first down. Scott went 25 yards off-tackle for the first scofe. The Jackets went for two first downs after the Bluffton kickoff, and were then forced to punt. Phil Debolt got off a beautiful kick that went out of bounds on the Bluffton 15. Bluffton went for one first down and then punted. The Jackets then started their drive to tie the game. They racked up five "straight first downs and took the ball down to the Bluffton 15 yard line. Bill Roth was the work-horse of the drive as he carried for 23 yards In four tries, A four-yard loss and two incomplete passes made it fourth down and 14 to go for a first down and 19 yards for the score. Then big Terry Murphy went high in the air over the goal line to pull down a Tony Kelly pass in the midst of two Tiger defenders on a sensational catch that tied the score-. The Jackets also failed to make their PAT and the score stood at 6 6. On the second play afte- receiving the Decatur kick-off,- the Tigers fumbled and Gene Baxter grabbed the ball for Decatur on the Jackets 39-yard line. After a three yard loss, Kelly flipped a screen pass to Roger Strickler who raced 36 yards to the Bluffton 28 before being pushed out of bounds. It, looked as though the Jackets might get another TD, but they were unable to move the ball and Bluffton took over as the half time gun sounded: The Tigers wasted little time icing the game in the second half. The Decatur kick-off was returned to the Bluffton 40, and after-a four-yard gain, Scott broke loose for 56 yards and the clincher. The Jackets were forced to punt four plays after receiving the Tiger kick, and Bluffton started another drive. This one failed as John • Isch recovered a Bluffton fumble on the Decatur 14. Again the Jackets were unable to move the ball, and their punt was returned to the Decatur 3d. This time, the Tigers went all the way with Fitzpatrick sneaking over for the score. The Yellow Jackets made a nice goal line stand, but the Tigers made a first down on the Decatur one foot line, and went for the sixpointer on the next play.

Tony Trabert Joins Pro Tennis Ranks LOS ANGELES (INS) — Professional tennis entrepreneur Jack Kramer, with American and Wimbledon champion Tony Trabert safely signed up for a recordbreaking SIOO,OOO, set his sights today on Australians Ken Rosewall and Lewis Hoad. Kramer induced Trabert to leave the amateurs Tuesday with a contract reputed to be the largest ever offered a newly turned pro. The contract calls for a minimum of $75,000 plus a percentage deal which should bring the figure to the SIOO,OOO mark. Kramer is reportedly set to offer Rosewall and Hoad a minimum of $40,000 each with a percentage cut that would bring their totals to $75,000 each. Kramer said he plans a twopart, 16-month tour: The first segment an American trek of 90 matches and the second a foreign jaunt to encompass about 60 matches in Australia, South Africa and Europe. The attraction in the cross-coun-try tour will be a singles match between Trabert and Kramer, who at 34 is still possibly the best tennis player in the world. Trabert feels that he can beat Kramer. He said: “I believe myself to be in better physical condition. I’m nine years younger.” The loss of Trabert was a serious blow to the U. S. Davis Cup team. In New’ York y Billy Talbert, non-playing captain of the team, said Trabert’s loss "leaves quite a void.” He said that with Trabert gone and Vic Seixas, No. 2 man on last year’s Davis Cup squad, talking of retirement at the age of 32, he was faced with the problem of “starting from scratch” with the 1956 team.

Junior Leads TCU To High Grid Ranking FORT WORTH. Tex. (INS) — A sharp-faced modest youngster with a burr haircut, a flair for geology and a deep feeling for relig ion is making football history at Texas Christian University. He is James Edward Swink, who was selected by International News Service as "player of the week" on the basis of his brilliant showing last Saturday against Alabama. Swink broke open a scoreless game against the Crynson Tide at the start of the second half with a 65-yard touchdown run and then added scoring sprints of three and ten yards. In the Frogs’ four games this season against Kansas. Texas Tech, Arkansas and Alabama, the six-foot-one-inch, 185 pounds halfback carried the ball 54 times and netted 484 yards. The fleet-footed junior is the Southwest Conference’s leading scorer with Iff touchdowns and two extra points. Included among j his TD jaunts is an 80-yard run j against Kansas, an all-time high for a TCU player. Last year his 37 points were tops among his teammates. Swink, 19, and tagged the “Rusk Rambler” needs only 16 points to break a 26-year-old TCU scoring record and 300 yards to smash the school’s rushing record set in 1948. With six more games to 50, the “Rambler” certainly could make some history. TCU was picked to end up near the bottom of the SWC heap this year but as things stand now. the Froggies are the only conference team unbeaten. Head Coach Abe Martin has this to say about the handsome athlete: “Swink is just the difference in our team. His great individual ability has pulled us through mapy Saturdays. He is one of the finest athletes I’ve seen in 23 years of coaching." One of Swink’s biggest boosters is TCU athletic director L. R. (Dutch) Meyer who spent 19 years as TCU head,, coach. “In all my years of coaching. I can’t recall a back that was such a carbon copy of SMU’s Doak Walker as is Swink," he said. Walker, now a top performer with the professional Detroit Lions, was a three-time All-American at SMU. Meyer added: “He is the same type of runner as Walker, having that knack of finding those airtight holes which break him loose in the opponents’ secondary —for some nice gains. Like Walker, Swink is no* exceptionally fast but both can go all the way when they see daylight.” Swink was a star basketball player in Rusk high school, being named by the coaches as the most valuable player of the 1952 schoolboy tournaments. He didn’t go out for the TCU quintet last -year but is expected to start at the guard position next season. Off the athletic fields. Swink is still tops. His major is geology and he has maintained a “B” average at TCU. He hopes to enter the oil business after graduation. Teammates and campus friends ■describe the all-around athlete as extremely quiet, modest but very popular. He is a campus religious leader and never misses attending church. he was told by Adj. Gen H. A. Doherty that a reduction .in force was being considered but that ample troops will be lef r . He said the cut in force was being considered to let 1,000 guardsmen return to civilian life and cut the cost to taxpayers by SII,OOO a day.

50-Yard Line Flashes

By JACK HELLER A player on the Jacket team who deserves a lot of credit for holding down the opposing scores is Phil Debolt, Decatur left ftuard and punter. Phil has yet to get off a bad kick and a lot of hie boots have gotten the Jackets out of tight spots. He is by far the best high school punter we’ve seen in many years. Another lad who deserves a lot of credit is a boy who lives out of the city limits. He works every night, sometimes on two jobs, so that he can make enough money to pay his own tuition. He does .jail this just so he can have the opportunity to play football. This boy is only a junior, and has already established himself as a stand-out football plhyer. Several local fans have mentioned the possibility of starting a Decatur booster club—not just for football, but for all sports.' It sounds like a swell idea, and would do a lot to boost the Jackets back up the athletic rung. Some folks say that things should be left just the way they are. and of course that’s their right. But some of those same folks are the first to holler when the Jackets lose seven football games in a row- or fail to win the sectional for a year or two.
