Jackets Meet Garrett Here Friday Night The Garrett Railroaders, one of the finest football teams in this area, will be the opponents of uie Decatur Yellow Jackets at Wortbman field Friday night at 7:30. The invaders have a record of two wins by lopsided scores, and a scoreless tie With the good Concordia Cadets. .Garrett also has the distinction of being unscored upon. The big, fast teum of Railroaders has whitewashed New Haven, Hicksville, eland Concordia. In the, first two games, the Gapetj eleven scored M points. The Decatur forward wall, Which can be the best when it wants to, will have to be just that to contain the Railroaders. Garrett's line is big. fast and experienced. These two teams are the best the respective cities have fielded for a long time, and it should be the best football played in Decatur for years. Decatur came out of the Hartford City game in pretty good shape. Fred Schott, who has been bothered by knee trouble, made it through the fray without being injured. Ted Hutker was bothered by a thigh muscle, and it is hoped the junior stand-out will be leady to go. The Railroaders run most of their

This keeps insurance costs low. "My own case proves State Farm rates are low. In New York, where I live... for the insurance I carry on my two cars... I not only get broader coverage—State Fann rates save me $29.31.* "I also like the fairway State Farm charges selling cost, such as the sales commission. They don't make it part of the premium ... you don’t have to pay it year after year. Instead, it’s covered by a membership fee, paid once and only once—the first time you take out a coverage.

plays from the single wing formation with an unbalanced line. This attack gives the utmost in power, and they have the speed to go all the way if a back is broken loose. A lot of their runs are around the ends. Garrett completed four passes against Concordia and they went for 48 yards. The Jackets picked up 127 yards against Hartford City through the air, and have two backs who can throw the ball well. All four Decatur backs are fine ball carriers, and if the line holds up. it will be a great game. The weather is supposed to be clear and cool. . MAJOR ’ J American League W. L.

Don Newcombe Pitches 25th Win Os Season By FRED DOWN (United Press Sports Writer) Don Newcombe's taken hia place with the majors’ greatest pitchers of the last 20 years—whether the Brooklyn Dodgers win or lose the pennant With the possibility of three more starts in the last 10 hectic days of the National League race, the 240-pound right-hander already has: 1. Become the NL’s fourth 25,game winner since 1936. 2. Compiled a 45-11-won-and-lost record for the last two years that gives him an .804 percentage and a chance to equal a record held by Lefty Grove., ‘ 3. Been the Dodgers’ “big guy" with a 16-1 record since July 4. Big Newk, who swings a mean home run bat in addition to his pitching talents, “took charge” Wednesday when he blasted two round-trippers and stole a base in ’eading the Dodgers to a 17-2 rout of the St. Louis Cardinals. The victory enabled the Dodgers to open up a .004-point, half-game lead over the Milwaukee Braves, who were rained out of a scheduled game in Pittsburgh. Newcombe gave up seven hits, including homers by Al Dark and Stan Musial, before retiring in favor of Don Bessent with the Dodgers leading. 15-2, after seven innings. Sandy Amoros, and rookie Don Demeter also homered for the Dodgers while Duke Snider had four hits and drove in three runs in the 17-hit Brooklyn assault on five pitchers. Wednesday’s victory again evened the Dodgers with the Braves in the “won column,” each with 88 and left Brooklyn with 57 losses compared to 58 for Milwaukee. The Braves, therefore, are on the spot to beat the Pirates today or drop two games behind in the “lost colimn” with seven games to go. z The Cincinnati Redlegs, still hop!ng for the miracle whifth will vault ’hem back into serious contention, Awept a doubleheader from the Philadelphia Phils, 6-3 and 6-0, to move within four games of the Dodgers. Wally Post hit his 32nd homer t<r help Johnny KHppstein -win his 12th decision in the opener while Tom Acker pitched a threehitter and George Crowe homered 'n the nightcap. The New York Giants downed the Chicago Cubs, 7-2 and 3-2, virtually dooming the losers to a lastplace finish in the other NL activity. The American League champion New York Yankees were idle but the Cleveland Indians helped Bob Lemon gain some personal satisfaction for the season with a 6-0 victory over the Washington Senators In a game held to seven innings by rain. Lemon, who yielded five hita, reached' the 20-vlctory circle tor the seventh time in his career. Al Kaline, continuing his lateseason bid to win the RBI crown, knocked in tour runs with a 4-for-4 day as the Detroit Tigers scored a 9-1 triumph over the Baltimore Orioles. Ray Boone also homered for the Tigers as Frank Lary turned in an eight-hitter for his 19th win. Kaline now trails Mickey Mantle by only one RBI.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

| Today's Sport Parade I By OSCAR FRALEY (United Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK (UP) — Anything can happen in the World Series yet it appears today that the New York Yankees are headed for one of their most smashing triumphs when the annual classic goes up for grabs just 13 days from now. The Yankees will be favored, whether the opposition is the Brooklyn Dodgers or the Milwaukee Braves. And, while many favorites * hive wound up on the short end in the series,> this doesn’t appear as if it will be one of those times. There are many reasons. , The greatest, apparently, is that the Yanks will go into the classic relaxed and well rested while the Dodgers or the Braves will have had to wear themselves to the bone merely getting there. You’ll hear much talk about whether a relaxed team can get back "up” after clinching its flag early—but any manager would prefer a rett ! ed team. Casey Stengel, the skipper of the Yankees, seemingly has his sixth world championship team all ready tor the big blue ribbon. Indications are that the Yankees will enter the series tn top physical shape and everybody rolling in high gear. Last time out, when he lost to Brooklyn, the Yankees made a terrific run of it despite crippling injuries to such as Mickey Mantle and Irv Noren. This time. Mantle is having his greatest year. . Yankee pitching is not too deep but there seems to be plenty tor a short series, with such as ageless Tommy Byrne, Whitey Fofd, the maturing Johnny Kucks, Don Larsen, Bob Turley and —possibly a sleeper—the reviving Bob Grim. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn team which won its first world championship last year is a year older —and doesn’t have two-time winner Johnny Podres. Pee Wee Reese, Roy Campanella and Jackie Robinson all are nursing'aches and pains and act Hke men who will settle just to make it as far as the series. Duke Snider and Gil Hodges are having sub-par years. Pitching, surprisingly enough, has been holding up Brooklyn but it isn’t-a great staff and Don Newcombe. having his greatest season, never has been able to best the Yankees. Maybe thfe is the time, but it’s still some till ng which has to be proved. I Milwaukee’s chances apparently are even slimmer than those of the Dodgers. The big item, if the Braves even make it, is that they aren’t used to the pressure. Should they scrape through to the flag, that feat alone will put them on the border of exhaustron. To boot, the Braves are Inclined to streaky play, their vaunted pitching has almost come apart at the seams, their defense is on the mediocre side and their right-hand-ed power would be a bit short of the barrier in the vast reaches of Yankee Stadium. All of which explains why the Yankees will be a heavy choice, regardless of who wins the National League flag. And from this corner it seems very improbable that there will be an upset. mu ... <a> S Burns Prove Fatal To South Bend Man SOUTH BEND (UP) — Henry Allen, 70, died Wednesday of burns sustained three months ago. when a match he struck to light a cigarette ignited linamant on his body.

Indiana's Key Man Reported Ready To Play By UNITED PRESS Chick Cichowski, key man in Indiana’s hopes for the 1956 Big Ten football season, was reported today to be ready to participate in a final practice game Saturday. Clchowski suffered a pulled knee tendon on the second day of practice which was slow in responding to treatment. Loss of the team captain was a worry to Coach Bernie Crlmmins for Cichowski is the only quarterback on the squad with experience. Michigan’s Wolverines pushed through a light practice session Wednesday, with quarterbacks Jim van Pelt and Jim Maddock limbering up their passing arms. Coach Bernie Costerbaan wasn't expected to hold a heavy scrimmage until later thia wwek. At lowa, guard Frank Bloom qulst—who had been rated the Hawkeyes' best lineman —was demoted along with tackle Alex Karras. Bloomquist returned to practice only a few days ago from the injured list. John Burrow's was promoted by coach Forest Evashevski to take Karras’ place and Gary Grouwlnkel got the nod for the guard position. Wisconsin ran through a light scrimmage. Coach Milt Bruhn said the Badgers were starting to work into shape. Ron Carlson remained the No. 1 quarterback, but was bard pressed for the signal-calling job by newcomer Sidney Williams. Bob Mitchell, highly rated Illinois halfback, reported for his first workout after being out of action with a knee Injury for about a week. The varsity worked on offense, with most ball carrying assignments being handled by halfbacks Abe Woodson and Al Smith. Once-a-day drills began for Purdue's Boilermakers. A backfield shift was made by coach Jack Mollenkopf. He moved sophomore Dick Stillwagon from quarterback to left halfback. Michigan State guard Don Wright wag the second Spartan to be injured in line scrimmage in two days when he turned his ankle. The team physician said, however, that Wright would only miss practice for a couple of days. Two changes were made on the first team by Minnesota Coach Murray* Warmath. He moved Norm Anderson up to left halfback to replace Ken Bombardier, who was on the injured list, and put Dick Fairchild in at right end instead of Bob Schmidt. Northwestern held Its first single session practice, highlighted by an offensive scriminage. Halfbacks George Gondek and Bob McKiever turned in good performances. Notre Dame concentrated on pass defense, punts, kickoffs and kick returns. The drill was the last heavy one scheduled by coach Trry Brennan before Methodist. Brennan planned to name the 38 man squad which would travel to Dallas, Tex. at the close of practioe today. .. . - .
