Yellow Jackets Open Home Schedule Friday Night With New Haven
By JACK HELLER The New Haven Bulidfigs. light but fast, will be the guests of the Decatur Yellow Jackets for the opening home game of the season at Worthman field Friday night at 7:30. Last year’s Decatur team attended the New Haven game at the Allen county team’s field as spectators. They absorbed their worst defeat of the year while watching. The 1956 Yellow Jackets have already shown that they aren’t the same as their immediate predecessors. They bumped off the Auburn Red Devils on the northern field last week and shut them out, !l-0. The offense was good hut spotty while the defense pushed Auburn all over the field. k According to pre-season figures, New Haven's offensive line will average less than 150 pounds. The defensive forward wall wont b* much heavier. The lightness will be offset some by a lot of speed, but the larger Decatur line, if they play and move as well as last Friday, should take care of things in fine fashion. This will be the first Northeastern Indiana conference game of the year for the Jackets. The Bpßdpgs were clobbered by Garrett, 3S&), ip a conference opener last Friday. The Jackets team speed was 6ne of the heartening things last FrL day. The linemen all moved well, and the backfield showed a consid-

erable increase over last year. Larry Moses and Fred' Schott were known to be speeders, and a year’s maturity has brought Gene Baxter and Tony Kelly up to par with the other two. Baxter really turned on a burst to go 3? yards for a TD at Auburn. This year’s team, in one game, has already attracted a little state recognition. Last Saturday, the United Press wire service mentioned the Jackets as one of the state’s “comers.” It’s up to the team to decide if they've come as far as they can, or are just getting started, The material and coaching are there. The spirit was there last Friday. We’ll see this Friday if it stayed. A sell-out crowd would certainly encourage both the team and the spirit. Friday’s game will be the first of four consecutive home games, for the Jackets. Following the New' Haven game will be Hartford City Sept. 18; Sept. 21, and Portland. Sept. 28. These games will conclude the home schedule, with the four remaining .games on the road: Fort Wayne Contordia, Oct. 2: Bluffton, Oct. 5: Columbia City, Oct. 19, and Kendallville, Oct. 24. Horse Show, Rodeo At Markle Friday The second annual horse show and rodeo, sponsored by the Markle fish and game club, will be held at the Markle ball park Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock. There will be ten different events on the program. Admission will be 50 cents, with children 12 and under admitted free. Lunch and refreshments will be available on the grounds. Proceeds from the annual event go to the Markle community park and its program for Little League and Pony League baseball.
I.U. Outlook Not Too Rosy For Top Team BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UP) — Indiana, which has announced plans for a “big-time” athletic plant, hopes the streamlined program will rub off on its football team this fall. The outlook, however, isn’t too rosy. Coach Bernie Crimnilns, in hjs fifth year at the helm of the lowly Hoosiers, lost 14 lettermen, seven of them starters. Gone are his starting tackles and guards and such bread-and-butter ball carriers as fullback John Barkiewicz and Milt Campbell. His young Hoosiers face a “mankiller” schedule, but you wouldn't know it from their eagerness to get ready for the Sept. 29 Big 10 opener against lowa. “The boys are hustling, the mot. ale is excellent, and the individual improvement in fundamentals is greatly encouraging,” said Crimmins. Indiana's biggest headache Is moving the ball. Statistics show Crimmins' charges muffed scoring opportunities 16 times within their opponents’ 20-yard line last season. “It’s a ‘must’ for us to make the most of opportunities," Crimmins told his boys. “We scored 13 touchdowns last season. If we had capitalized on all those other times we were down there, or even a fair share of them, it would have been quite a different season.” As it was. Indiana won only one of six nocference starts and wound up with a 3-6 overall record. Crimmins is banking on a couple of speedy sophomores, Jim Powell and {Jerome Ward, to become ‘’breakaway'’ threats the like Indiana hasn’t had under Crimmins. However, . Crimmins’ hopes were dealta severejolt when Ward was lost Tuesday for the entire season as a result of a kidney ailment. Ward went to the infirmary Monday, and the word is that lie will require an operation. Gene (Chick) Cichowski is back to call the signals, and Crimmins indicated the Chicago senior will do plenty of passing. His main tar-gets,-besides the two halfbacks, will, be ends Brad .Bomba..and Joe Maglish. Bob Fee. another end, was switched to fullback, and probably wiH start. At center, too. the Hoosiers are solid. Ed Wietacha and Joe Amstutz are likely to alternate as starters, but the rest of the line may not be nailed down until after at least two more game-like scrimmages. At this stage. Bob Sobczak and Conney Kimbo appear to have the inside at tackle, and John Gentile and Tom Cousineau. the only veterans, are probable starters at guard. "Overall," Crimmins summed it up. “I'd characterize this as a team

Dodgers Beat Braves, Tie For Loop Lead By MILTON RICHMAN (United Preet Sports Writer) AU even! That’s what the Dodgers and Braves were today after 138 games — except maybe Brooklyn has the edge because of that valiant old veteran, Sal Maglie, who comes right out and admits he told a lie. The happy, perspiring Maglie let the lie out of the bag Tuesday night amid the tremendous jubilation that followed his 4-2 victory over the Milwaukee Braves. The triumph, Maglie’s 10th since coming to the Dodgers from Cleveland last May 17th, boosted Brooklyn into a first place tie with Milwaukee — and well, the kidding, jubilant atmosphere was such that a guy could admit to a whopper. “When I first came over here from Cleveland," Maglie said in between congratulatory handshakes “I told Randy Jackson that all I wanted to do was win 10 games. But I was lying . . . now I want more.” In addition to scattering eight hits and striking out six batters, the 39-year-old Maglie rapped Dodger nemesis Bob Buhl for a two-run single in the fourth to put the Brooks ahead for good. Maglie was nicked for Eddie Mathews* 35th homer tn the second inning and Joe Adcock’s 36th in the ninth but both blows came with the bases empty. Gil Hodges homered for Brooklyn. The victory, Brooklyn’s first at the expense of Buhl this season after he had beaten the Dodgers seven times, put them back in first place tor the first time since April 28. Milwaukee and Brooklyn meet for the last time this year today with Lew Burdette opposing Don Newcombe. Cincinnati ripped the Giants, 115, and now is only two games removed from first place. Ted Kluszewski, Ed Bailey and Frank Robinson all homered in the Redleg triumph, credited to reliever Art Fowler, and those three homers gave Cincy a total of 201 for the season. Robinson’s homer was his 38th of the year and It tied the major league record for a rookie set by Wally Berger of the Boston Brave? in 1930. Bailey’s belt, a grandslam wallop, was his 25th homer of the year and it made the Redlegs the first team, in major league history with five players boasting 25 or more homers. Kluszewski has 35, Wally Post 29 and Gus Bell 25. Homers by Ken Boyer and Bob by Del Greco helped the Cardinals strengthen their grip on fourth place with a 5*3 victory over the Phillies. Dale Long and Frank Thomas hit back-to-back homers in the eighth and Bob Clemente came through with a run-scoring single in the ninth to give the Pirates a 4-3 decision over the Cubs. The Yankees remained 11 games in front in the American League race-rif anyone can still call it that —by beating the last-place Athletics. 9-5. Hank Bauer hit his 24th and 25th homers while Yogi Berra drove in two runs with his 28th homer. Sinkerballer Bob Lemon joined the ranks of the 200-game winner? when he pitched and batted the Indians to a 3-1 triumph over the Orioles. Lemon limited the Orioles to six hits and hit a two-run homer off Ray Moore in the second inning. The victory was the 200th of Lemon's big league pitching career which began in 1946 and mark ed his 19th win of the season. Willard Nixon and reliever Ivan Delock checked the White Sox on five hits in pitching the Red Sox to a 5-3 victory. Nixon was credited with the victory, featured by Ted Williams’ 20th home run of the year. Frank Lary pitched a two-hitter for his 17th victory as his Detroit teammates pounded out 14 hits in rolling to a 12-0 victory over WashIrrgton. Ray Boone homered for the' Tigers. H. S.

The top 600 bowlers are then qualified to compete for the top prizes of 10 trips for two to Mexico City via American Airlines and a ten-days stay at Mexico City’is world-famous Del Prado Hotel; or, if the winner elects, he may spend as much of that time as he wishes in beautiful and exciting Acapulco, also with hotel and meals paid. These ten winners will be determined by a head-pin roll-off with special handicap among the 600 top scorces, following the conclusion of national bowling day.
