Yellow Jackets Suffer First Loss Friday As Railroaders Win, 19-6

The Decatur Yellow Jackets, strapping all the way. lost their first game of the Beason, a rough battle with the Garrett Railroaders at Worthman field Friday night by a 19-6 score. The lotsal drew some consolation as Larry Moses barrelled 65 yards for a third quarter TD to end Garrett’s string of three staight shutouts. Moses' score tied the game at 6-6. and even after Garrett went ahead 13-6. it looked like Decatur might fight back to tie it up. An SO yard run with an intercepted pass in the last minute of play, cinched the game for Garrett. « The entire first-half was a defensive battle. Neither team made much ground as the, Jackets penetrated to the Garrett 27 only .to lose the ball on a fumble, and the Railroaders made it as far as the Jacket 28 in one drive before the Decatur line stiffened. Gene Baxter. left halfback, and John Isch. right tackle and defensive mainstay. were lost by injuries in the first half. At the midway mark, it was (M). Things livened up in the second half. Garrett kicked off to Decatur, and the Jackets were unable to move through the big Railroader line. A Kelly punt was returned to the Decatur 43, and on the first play, Andrews went 28 yards to the 15. On the next scrimmage. the same play was goou for a TD. John Hebble broke through and blocked the try for extra point. Decatur started to roll with the ball after receiving the, kickoffThe Jackets made one first down, and with a second and nine situation. Moses rambled. Larry started around left end, cut in and squirmed through the entire Garrett team. Once in the clear, he was pulling away with every step. Tony Kelly’s try for the extra point was blocked. The Railroaders started rifcht back up the field. Andrews chipped in a 32 yard run, and a 16 yard pass put the ball on the Decatur

Pirates Beat Bums, Braves Defeat Cubs By MILTON RICHMAN (United Press Sports Writer) Lew Burdette, often accused of throwing a spitter, can whet Milwaukee's pennant appetite to a new high today by pitching the Braves back into the National League lead for the first time since Sept. 14. Those same tantalizing two percentage points stood between the struggling Braves and first place Brooklyn today following their 6-4 victory over the Cubs Friday night while the league-leading Dodgers lost to the “spoiler" Pirates, 2-1. Burdette, who has 'tried four times in vain for his 19th victory, holds the key to Milwaukee’s immediate fortunes. He faces hardthrowing. tooth pick-chewing Sam Jones of the Cubs and if he can beat Chicago — and of course if Pittsburgh can defeat Brooklyn again -*• the Braves will move back into first place for the first time in more than a week. Carl Erskine, troubled by arm soreness off and on this season, will pitch for the Dodgers while Vern Law is slated to start for the Pirates.. The Braves took advantage of three unearned run? to beat the Cubs Friday night. Milwaukee got a 3 0 jump on loser Warren Hacker in the first two inings_ and then loaded the bases in the sixth. A passed ball by catcher Harry Criti permitted one run to score and Ernie Banks’ error on Del Crandall’s grounder let in two more. That wgs the ball game even though Monte Irvin tagged Warren Spahn for a homer in the seventh and the Cubs drove the veteran lefthander to the showers with a three-run barrage in the eighth. Gene Conley mopped up and preserved Spahn's 19th victory. Frank Thomas was the villain as far as the Dodgers were concerned. His 23rd homer with one on in the seventh inning snapped Sal Maglie's six-game winning streak and powered Ronnie Kline to his 14th victory. Brooklyn’s only run off Kline came in the seventh when Gil Hodges doubled, moved to third on an infield out and came home on Junior Gillian's infield hit. Cincinnati kept its slim pennant hopes alive with a 9-1 victory over St. Louis. Wally Post pounded out his 33rd and 34th homers and Joe Nuxhall hurled a five-hitter for his 13th triumph. The victory, achieved at the expense of Vinegar Bend Mizell, moved Cincinnati within three games of the lead. Left-hander Johnny Antonelli racked up his 18th victory by pitching the Giants to a 7-3 decision over the Phillies. The Giants broke up the game with a sevenrun rally in the fifth. Rookie Bob Bowman homered for the Phils while another rookie, Dick Farrell, making his first big league start, suffered the loss. With- the American League flag already wrapped up, the Red Sox walloped the Yankees, 13-7, as Billy Klaus and Jim Piersail drove in eight runs'between them. Mickey Mantle hit his 51st home run and collected three hits in all to boost his average to .362 but

UCLA Barely Defeats Utah Friday Night By United Press * I If Friday night’s narrow squeaker over Utah is an accurate guide the 1956 season is going to be a rough one for once-mighty UCLA, the pride of the Pacific Coast Con. ference and the nation’s fourth ranked team last year. The Bruins, hampered by their own eagerness Id field the best team possible, showed signs of Weakness in their opening game of the season and only the all-round play of tailback Doug Gradley kept them from defeat. The scrappy Gradley, limited to five games by PCC edict, ran and passed UCLA to a 13-7 victory before 37.083 fans in Los' Angeles* Memorial Coliseum. Utah, which finished second in the Skyline Conference last year, was unable to put oh a sustained drive and this more than the play of the Bruins figured in the final outcome. — UCLA was punished earlier this year when the PCC cracked down because of recruiting violations. There are a host of eye-catching games on tap around the country on the first full Saturday of the collegiate season, but the two games which are expected to draw the biggest fan interest involve Notra Dame-Southern Methodist and Georgia Tech-Kentucky. The traveling Irish meet the Mustangs under the lights in Dalias with a crowd of about 60,000 looked for in the Cotton Bowl. Notre Dame, minus eight of last year’s regulars, is favored by 13. mostly because of star quaterback Paul Hornung. The Georgia Tech-Kentucky game is the first of the NCAA’s weekly nationally televised attractions. NB C begins telecasting the action from Lexington. Ky., at 3:15 p.m. EDT. The Engineers. 7-0 winners over Pittsburgh’s Panthers in the 1956 Sugar Bowl, are favored by 10 points. Southwestern and Southern fans have the best of the picks in other attractions today with only -limited action scheduled for the East and Midwest. The Big Ten and the_lVy League get underway next Weekend. , '.. ■ ■ - Yankees Report Big Demand For Tickets NEW YORK (UP)—The New York Yankees said today that World Series ticket demands this year were the ’- biggest in the club’s history and that “we are no longer accepting applications." The Yankees announced Wednesday they would acceut applications.

50-Yard Line Flashes By JACK HELLER Any doubts ever held about the nerve of this year's football team were erased last night. After losing Baxter. Isch and Kelly to injuries, the Jackets continued to figm all the way in a great effort to tie the game. Even in losing, it wad a fine display of courage. Clipping (blocking from behind) is without a doubt the lousiet foul in football. It not only comes with no chance of preparing for the jolt, but strikes at the heart of a football player—his knees. More football players have been permanently injured by clipping than any other action on a football field. When John Isch was injured in last night’s game it was by clipping. He was entirely out of the play. It was a punt runback, and John was 15 yards away from the ball carrier. He was hit with a perfect clip. You can fbrm your own opinion—l have mine. There may be one thing lousier in football than clipping—the failure of those responsible for keeping the game on a clean level to recognize the foul. John Isch may be out of football for life. He may have a permanent injury. We certainly hope not. Tony Kelly was hurt in an unnecessary pile-up. and Larry Moses, tripped attempting to catch a pass. Off and on in past years, there has been some criticism of Decatur's head coach. Well, those critlcisers can stick this in their pipes and smoke it till it chokes them. Bob Worthman won’t sacrifice sportsmanship for the sake of an undefeated season and a conference ehampionship. He has his teams play to win, but he has them play it clean. That’s the whole idea behind sports, and if critics would condone actions like those on Worthman field last night, just to win a game, they have no place in decent society. Walking away from Worthman field last night, I was proud to say I came from Decatur, and thought the Yellow Jackets were the finest team in this area. I couldn’t say the same thing if I came from another town. This is not meant to sound like sour grapes. Garrett has an outstanding football team, and. much as I hate to admit it, seemed like a little better team than Decatur. If that’s the type of play it takes to be TT standout team though, I’d rather cover a marbles tournament. Larry Moses did a whale of a job last night. He ran 65 yards through the entire Garrett team to be the first player this season to cross Garrett’s goal. He stopped a Garrett threat by a pass interception and made a lot of tackles. Larry matured as a footbdll player, and when Gene Baxter gets back in running shape, it’s going to be a pleasure to watch those two halfbacks go. The buck-lateral series Garrett used off the single-wing was nice to watch. They could play a lot of football along with their other activities. The boy that did their kick-offs was the best I’ve ever seen in high school football. Tony Kelly had the edge on their punter, though. T.K. got the Jackets out of some jams with his long and elusive boots. Fred Schott and John Hebble played a good game too. John busted through to block the first Garrett try for PAT and almost knocked the ball holder off the field. That punt of Bob Banks' was his first try at kicking this year. He didn’t have much time either It’s Portland next week. If the ; injured list shrinks, it will be a good ball game, and the last chance for fans to see the Jackets at home this year. This year’s team' has done a lot to bring Decatur out of the football depths, and is one the town can be proud of wherever they represent Decatur. Miguel Berrios Is Friday Bout Winner DETROIT (UP) *— "Now I think I No. 2,” stocky Miguel Berrios said today in making his claim for a shot at featherweight champion Sandy Saddler following Friday night's victory over Ike Chestnut. The shy little Pteurto Rican, who stands 5 ft. 2 in., showed hardly a mark from his bruising victory over Chestnut, who sported a discolored lump under his right eye from Berrios’ stout left hooks.
