Jackets Play ? Hartford City Here Tuesday The Decatur Yellow Jackets opponents Tuesday night will be the big Hartford City Airdales. The Blackford county team has a record of one loss—to Tipton in the season opener — and a tie with Peru last Friday night According to the Hartford City newspaper, the Airdales improved considerably between the first and second games. They have an end 6’6” tall at one flank, and one I'4“ tall on the other. They completed eight of fifteen passes last Friday, for a passing gain of 55 yards. The big forward wall of the Airdales averages 188 pounds, and will be a real test for the Jackets line. The visitors’ backfield will average 160 pounds, with the fullback, Burnworth, the heavy man at 175. One play the Hartford City team will put to good use probably is a short jump pass to Beeson —the six and a half foot end —in the fiat who in turn laterals to the halfback cutting past him. The Airdales used this same play last year, which their assistant coach. Frank Teats, brought from Hanover College. The Airdale lineup has 15 lettertnen included and most of them were instrumental in beating Decatur by a 13-6 score at Hartford City last year. The Jackets played ope of their best games last season at the Airdales home ,field. This will be one of the locals tougher games of the year, and a real test for the forward wall. Game time at Worthman field will be 7:30. and the weather prediction for Tuesday night is fair and cool — perfect football weather.
