■'* I Yellow Jackets Defeat New Haven Bulldogs By Score Os 14 To 7 Friday

The Decatur Teltow Jackets pushed across two .second quarter touchdowns and then held off a desperate and almost successful hist half rally to squeeze out a 14-7 win over the New Haven Bulldogs at Worthman field Friday night. The Allen county team scored in the third quarter and in the fourth stanza got down to Decatur’s nine-yard line with first dowh and goal to go. The Jacket line, which had s»een mediocre throughout most of the game, came to life and held the Bulldogs for no gain, much to the relief and pleasure or a large Decatur crowd. New Haven kicked oft to Decatur ?to open the game, and it looked like the Jackets were going to start it right where they left off at Auburn. They moved the. ball from the Decatur 36 to the New Haven 25 and then the drive died. The Bulldogs came right back with a’’ drive of their own, and sparked by lightning end runs both ways, got as far as the Decatur 34 before the Jacket line stiffened. Decatur then started its first

successful drive. With all the backs carrying, the Jackets moved slowly down to the New Haven 12-yard line. There. Gene Baxter started around right end and threw a bullseye to Ted Hutker tor the TD. Tony Kelly added the extra point with the aid of some New Haven hands. The ball was low, but a Bulldog had his hands in the air, and the ball caromed off the hands and just over the cross-bar. New Haven had the ball just long enough to fail to gain any ground and then Decatur took over again. Kelly returned a Bulldog punt to the New Haven 35 and another drive was in the offing. This one was a siow one too. Thirteen plays later, with 16 seconds left in the first half, DeWayne Agler punched over from the -6-inch mark for the touchdown. Kelly wasn't fooling this time, as he kicked the PAT right through the goal posts and clear out of the field. The Bulldogs tried two passes with no luck before time ran out. The second half was almost all New Haven’s ball game. The 1 teams exchanged the ball once after Decatur kicked off to the Bulldogs and then New Haven got in high gear. They took over on their own 41, and in nine plays, one a fourth down pass from punt formation, were doVn to the Jacket eight. From there. Gary Ronberg went around right end for the Score. Dale Buhr. speedy, halfback who gamed a lot of ground all night, ran for the extra point. Decatur got as far as the Bulldog 35 to open the fourth quarter before a holding penalty cost them 15 yards and took the starch out of the attack. After an exchange of the bail, a good Buhr punt runback gave the New Haven team a first down on the Decatur 33. Six plays later and the Bulldogs had a first down on the Decatur nine. Then the Decatur line held for three plays and a barely incomplete pass ended the threat. The Jackets rolled for two first downs before the game ended.me,. Decatur’s record is now two wins and no losses. Last night's game was the first conference win of the year for the home team, making them 1-0 so far. The next opponents for the Jackets will be the Hartford City Airdales Tuesday and the Garrett Railroaders next Friday, both at Worthman field. These are two of the toughest teams the Jackets will face all year. ’ Decatur New Haven LE Ballard Bermes LT Dorwin Wissman LG Bean Coe C Gould Vankirk

Score by quarters — Decatur 0 14 0 o—l 40 —14 New Haven ..... 0 0 7 0 — 7 50-Yard Line Flashes By JACK HELLER Probably as many football teams have tost games because of overconfidence as they have to superior opponents. Last night almost saw the same thing. The Decatur players seemed to think that New Haven was going to play the whole season the way they played at the Fort Wayne football clinic. Some teams like to get a little better each game as the season progresses. The next two games will tell how good the Jackets are. Hartford City has suffered in football the same disease that has gripped Decatur in past years—lethargy. They are big and tough though. Last year Decatur outplayed them, but, still lost, 13-6. This year they are big again and will be hard to beat. The Garrett Railroaders are out to be the best team- in » Northeastern Indiana, and it looks like they might well be. Decatur can t beat them, but not if they play like last night. It still holds true that a good line makes a good football team, and last night’s team was barely average. The sharp blocking was missing after being so evident in the Auburn game. It's too bad one game doesn't make a whole season —it seems like the Jackets think it does. Only once or twice did a play that started as an end run make it around end for the I Jackets. The rest of the time, the ball carrier had to cut Inside the end and into the line backer. Tony Kelly made it five in a row for extra points. One was a squeaker, but it counted just as much as any. Gene Baxter gained 80 yards in 14 carries. The team as a whole gained at least 270 yards. Only 120 were needed for the two touchdowns. Decatnr made 14 first downs to the Bull'dogs nine. The Jackets have two good passers In Baxter and Kelly, but so far have failed to throw the ball much. Maybe they’re saving some surprises. Last night had some pleasing notes. It was the first tiirie since 1950 that Decatur had beaten New Haven in football. It was great to see Bob Worthman back with the team. The UP said Decatur might be an area "comer" this season. They may have come and started going. We’ll know next Saturday. Motorist Is Fined On Speeding Charge k Lee E. Parrish, 36, of Monroe, arrested last Saturday for speeding on U.S. highway 27 south of Decatur, appeared in justice of the peace Floyd Hunter’s court Friday night and was fined fl and costs.

Toronto On Verge Os Playoff Berth By UNITED PRESS The Toronto Maple Leafs, regular season pennant winners in the International League, now are on the verge of clinching a berth in the playoff finals. Friday night the Leafs, scoring a dozen runs for the second night in secession, pounded four Montreal pitchers for 14 hits, including three home funs, in a 12-6 "cakewalk.” The Leafs have now taken three out of four from the Royads and a victory tonight will send them into the final round of the playoffs against the winner of the Miami-Rochester set. which the Wings lead, two games to one. Dodgers Pull Even In Gaines Lost Column By FRED DOWN (United Press Sports Writer) The Milwaukee Braves clung to' a one-game lead in the nervewracking National League race today but to the Brooklyn Dodgers it’s "all even again.” That's because the "Rodgers again drew even with the Braves in the all-important “lost column” when they beat the Chicago Cubs, 4-2. Friday night and the Philadelphia Phillies crushed the leaders. 13-1. The Braves’ one-game lead stems from the fact they’ve’ won two extra games but the Dodgers reason they still have the two extra games on their schedule to make up those wins. Old pros Pee Wee Reese and Carl Furillo struck the key blows for the Dodgers, who got a terrific battle from SBO,OOO bonus pitcher Moe Drabowsky. Reese opened the winning. three-run eighth-inning rally with a double after Drabowsky limited the Dodgers to three hits for seven frames and Furillo capped it with a two-run double. Furillo also scored on an error by Gene Baker. Relief pltcheV Don Bessent received credit for his fourth win although Clem Labine came out of the bullpen to retire pinch-hit-ter Jim King for the game’s last out. It was Drabowsky’s third loss against two victories. The fifth place Phillies scored their 11th win in 21 meetings with the Braves this season with a 17hit barrage that included a grand slam homer by Solly Hemus and a three-run round-tripper by Del Ennis. Harvey Haddix pitched sixhit ball, including a homer by Dji Crandall, to win his 13th game foF the Phillies. Lew Burdette was kayoed in 3 2-3 Innings and suffered his 10th defeat against 18 triumphs. Willie Mays blasted his 31st and 32nd homers to knock In all the New York Giants’ runs in a 3-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardi* nals in the only other National League game. Ruben Gomez pitched a five-hitter and struck out five to raise his season’s record to 7-15. In the American League, the New York Yankees reduced their’ pennant-winning “magic number” to three with a 5-1 win over the Detroit Tigers while the Cleveland Indians split a doubleheader with the Boston Red Sox. - Yogi Berra set a new career record tor homers by a catcher when he walloped the 237th of a 10-year career during the Yankee triumph.

Don Larsen, meanwhile, turned in a four-hitter to win his ninth game. The Yankees now can clinch their seventh pennant in eight years under Casey Stengel by beating the Tigers today and splitting Sunday’s doubleheader with the Indians. Bill Trombley Is Fori Wayne Leader FORT WAYNE (UP) — A hometown pro was right in there pitching today with the*best of them in the >15,000 Fort Wayne open golf tourney. BUI Davis of Fort Wayne carded a 67 in the second.round of the' meet Friday for a two-round total of 135, just four strokes off the pace set by Bill Trombley, Dallas, Tex., who had a 131.
