Yellow Jackets Rally To Defeat New Haven Bulldoas. 68 To 65

Decatur* Yellow Jacket*, trailing by nine point* midway through the final quarter, staged a stouthearted rally to take a 88-66 thriller from the New Haven Bulldog* on the Decatur floor* It was the fourth consecutive* victory tor the Yellow Jacket* and snapped a seventgame winning streak tor the Bulldogs, the Allen county champion*. It also marked Decatur's third Northeastern Indiana conference victory as compared to two losses. The Bulldogs, strictly on perfect tree throw shooting, had moved into nine-point leads at 63-54 and 65-56 with four minutes to play when the Jackets began to move. Tony Kelly hit a field goal, Bob Baidu dropped in a pair of frse throws and Stan Kirkpatrick hit from the field and it was 66-63 with three minutes to play. Gene Baxter intercepted a pass at midcourt and dribbled under for an easy layup 20 seconds later and New Haven’s lead had melted to one point- With slighly more than a minute to go. Banks knotted the count on a free throw- With 20 seconds to play, Baxter hit on a short shot to give the Jackets a 67-65 lead, and Banks, fouled with one second to play, netted one of his free throws for the final 88-65 tally, as the Jackets had scored 10 points while holding New Haven scoreless In the last four minutesThe first quarter was nip and tuck, with New Haven holding a 15-12 advantage at the end of the period. The Bulldogs led through most of the second quarter, with the Jackets moving back to knot the count at 30-30 at the long intermission. The Yellow Jackets bounced back into the lead with the opening of the third period on Kelly's threepoint play, and had opened up an eigh-polnt gap at 43-35 midway through the quarter, only to have the Bulldogs bounce back and take a scant 51-50 margin at the close of the period. Kelly and Baxter led the Yellow Jackets scoring with 22 and 20 points, respectively, while Skip Cloys counted 20 points, half of them on fra* throws, to pace the Allen county champs, who also had Dale Herman with 16 and Jack Null with 14. The Jackets outscored the J Bu!R f dogs from the field, 26-19, but New Haven connected on 2? free throws | in 35 attempts, while the Jackets converted only 16 of 28- In the final quarter, the Bulldogs dropped in 12 consecutive free throws, and hit only one field goal in the entire final eight minutesThe Yellow Jackets will entertain the Portland Panthers at the Decatur gym Friday night Yellow Jackets FG FT TP Kelly 9 4 32 Kirkpatrick ..... 3 0 6 Murphy , 3 2 8 Baxter —.--- 8 4 20 Moses 2 2 6 Dorwtn 6 0 0 Werst L. 10 2 Banks .... 0 4 4 TOTALS 26 16 68 New Haven FG FT TP Clbys”- 5 10 M Herman — 4 8 16 McComb 10 2 Nowels .......—.. 2*l 5 Null , 5 4 14 Allgood ..... 1-4 6 Glaze 0 0 0 Stpller 1 * 2 jr ~' — TOTALS ......19 27 65 Dornte, Carnes Preliminary * \ Decatur, 46-34

A columnist for the London Daily Mirror termed the decision “outrageous,” and said he though Waterman had won only two of thC ten rounds; "* ’ Gavilan. wh* weighed 147-th for the fight, also thought he was robbed. The Cuban said: •‘He win maybe two rounds- I beat him big " Waterman, a Londoner who gave up a career in the antique business to enter the prize ring, was badly cut and bloody when the fight ended.
