Both Decatur Teams Are Handed Defeats In Net Games Friday

COMMODORES The Decatur Commodores, after leading practically all the way. dropped a heart-breaking 63-62 decision to the Huntingdon Catholic Ramblers at the Decatur gym Friday Bight, for their second loss in seven starts. The score was tied five different times in the first quarter, with the Commodores pulling away in the final two minutes for a 15-10 marlib. Decatur led all during the second period, from one to five points, with a pair of free throws by Ron Meyer sending the Commodores to the locker room at the half with a 33-34 bulge. The Ramblers pulled within one point at 33-32 after three minutes of play in the third quarter, but the Commodores again pulled away and still maintained their seven-point advantage at the close of the period, 4W53. Four buckets in a row in the first two minutes of the last period sent Huntington out in front at 46-46, their first lead since midway ot the first quarter, but Jerry Voglewede broke the spell and sent Decatur back on top. The Ramblers then moved to a 50-47 advantage but a pair of quick fielders by Phil Reed and Paul Faunbte had Decatur on top again at 51-40 at the half-way , point. The Commodores twice had three point leads, at 55-52 and again at 52-56, but Mike Fisher ( and Boh Boyle put Huntington on top, 6049, with 50 seconds to play. BUI Heck tossed In a free throw on a technical foul on Decatur, and , then the same boy hit from the , field'for a four-point margin. Jerry Voglewede sliced the margin to two points, and then Joe Wilder ’ play. Wilder made his first free throw, but the second, which would have sent the game into overtime, ' fell off the rim and the Ramblers were the victors. Faurote was the top scorer with 18 pointe, all on field goals, as he did not have an opportunity at the foul line. Wilder tailed 14 ; pointe, and Ron Meyer 1 and Vogle- , Wede 13 each.

YELLOW JACKETS The , Decatur Yellow Jackets dropped a 71-59 decision to the . tall Concordia Cadets at the Al- ' len County Coliseum last night, but played much better basketball than the final score would indicate. The Jackets led or were in close contention through most ot the game, but the loss of sparkplug' Stan Kirkpatrick because of a bad knee seemed to take the life out of the team. Up to that point, the whole Jacket team was playing its best game of the young season, but without Kirkpatrick’s height and drive, the local boys just couldn’t do much against the towering Cadets. Tony Kelly put the Jackets out in front early with two • free throws, and after Concordia had grabbed a 6-2 lead on a bucket by 6’5" Paul .Manske and two field goals by Buxx Doerffler, the Decatur team came back and played the bigger team off its feet. The balance of Decatur’s attack can be seen from the first quarter scoring. Kelly had three points, Kirkpatrick four. Murphy four, Baxter four, and Strickler two. At the end of the first quarter the score was tied at 17-17. The second quarter was as close as the first. The Jackets jumped off to a quick lead and stretched it out to 28-19. but the Cadets came back. They scored seven straight point to narrow the Jacket lead to two points and the two teams fought it out until the half. The Cadets had a one point edge. 33-32 at the midway point. Manske put the Cadets three points ahead at the outset of the third quartr but Terry Murphy . hit a frse throw and 'Kirkpatrick got a tip-in and a frde throw and the Jackets had the lead back at 36-35. Just as the Jackets were getting in high gear, Kirk’s knee went out and so did the Jackets spark. The local went ahead to build a six point lead at the end of the third stanza, 45-39, and then the roof fell in. Terry Murphy managed four points through the first half of the last quarter and the Cadets, sparked by Ridley and Manske poured in 23 pointe to zoom into a 62-49 lead with about four minutes to go. Bob Banks and Rex Werst came off the Jacket bench to hit ten points between them, but It was too little, too late. Banks hit three out of four shots from the field and Werst hit two out of two. The loss of Kirkpatrick was felt not only in his rebounding and scoring, but in his ability to work the ball in close for the good shot. In the last quarter the Jackets got very few good shots until Banks and Werst started driving. Manske led all scorers with 20 points and Doerffler was next for the Cadets with 13. Ridley help ed the Concordia cause getting 11 points, with nine of them in the last quarter. Terry Murphy led the Jackets scorers by pushing through 15 points and Kirkpatrick had hit 11 before he left the game. Kelly with 10 and Baxter with eight points were next in line for Decatur. The Yellow Jackets next game will be at the Decatur gym next Friday, against the Berne Bears.
