Jackets End Home Season Friday Night The Portland runthers will be the last home toes for the 1956 Decatur Yellow Jackets. The Panthers have developed more than was expected this season and will be a formidable foe for the Jackets. The only compari son between the two teams is against Hartford City. Both teams beat the Airdales. The Portland outfit edged the Hartford Cfty team 21-11. and Decrftur beat them 196. Hartford City outgaitied Portland, but the Panthers took advantage of long runs to win the game. The deciding factor in the game: will probably be how many of Decatur’s injured recover in time for the game. At this time, it U believed that Gene Baxter and John Isch will be back In the lineup ready to go, but it is doubtful if Tony Kelly will be able to play. At full strength, the Jackets handled Hartford City with comparative ease. Portland has a two and two record for the seasdh-thus far, while Decatur has a three wins and one Joss record. Portland lost their first two starts to Fairmount and Royerton, and then bounced back -Co trohnee Winchester and edge City. New coach Glen Bryant, has a team that developed more than was originally expected from the Jay -county school, and will be a real test for the Jackets. The Panthers have a big line, and a small, fast backfield. They run from an unbalanced line and use both the single-wing and T formations. Ed Williams, a five foot seven inch. 140 pound senior right halfback, is the break away threat, bnt all the backs have a lot of speed. The probable starting lineup tor Portland Friday is< LE —Gary Runson .6’ 180 LT—Wayne Norris .... 6’2” 235 LG—Frank Inman s’B" . 175 C—Duane Snyder 6’ 165 RG—Dick Farber 5’10” 150

Maglie Hurls No-Hitter As Dodgers Win By UNITED PRESS It’s up to Don Newcombe and the embattled Dodgers to see today that Sal Maglie didn’t pitch one of baseball's all-time masterpieces in vain. Given a reprieve by the 39-year old Maglie’s 5-0, no-hit triumph, the Dodgers sent Newcombe against Robin Roberts and the Philadelphia Phillies today in an effort to sweep the two-game series and go back into a tie tor the National League lead with the idle Milwaukee Braves. A loss would drop the Dodgers a full game behind the Braves with three games left for each. “That no-hitter won’t be worth a nickel if we don’t win Wednesday,” said Jackie Robinson in the Dodger clubhouse Tuesday night. “But we can’t let that happen. We’ve just got tq go on now and take it all.” For Maglie, meanwhile, there was the honor of having pitched the most spectacular “clutch game” the majors had seen in 48 years. Not since Cleveland's Addie Joss pitched a perfect game against the White Sox in the decisive game of the 1908 American League pennant race had a pitcher turned in a no-hitter with so much riding on every delivery. It was a game the Dodgers had to win because 'Warren Spahn, another great old pro, had pitched the Braves to a 7-1 victory over the Cincinnati Redlegs Tuesday afternoon. That victory all but mathematically eliminated the Redlegs from the race. In this situation, the amazing Maglie —» a one-time “Mexican jumper” and later the most famous “Dodger killer” of ’em all as a star pitcher with the hated Giants — achieved his finest hour. He walked only two batters and hit another in setting down the Phillies with a total of 110 pitches.- It was his 12th victory since joining the Dodgers from the Indians on May 16; Spahn’s splendid effort enabled the 35-year-old Milwaukee southpaw to reach the 20-victory mark for the seventh time in his career —a feat which previously was attained by only Grover Cleveland Alexander. Christy Mathewson. Walter Johnson, Eddie Plank. Lefty Grove and Bob Lemon. Spahn yielded only six hits and one walk In chalking up the 203 win of his career. Johnny Antonelli won his 19th game as the New York Giants routed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 10-0 and Don Kaiser pitched the Chicago Cubs to a 6-2 decision after the St. Louis Cardinals turned in a triple play en route to a 5-1 win behind Lindy McDaniel in other NL activity. In the American League, the champion New York Yankees downed the Baltimore Orioles. 11-6. as Bill Skowron drove in five runs with a single and a double. Mickey Mantle appeared only as a pinchhitter again and kept his average at .355—six points ahead of Boston’s Ted Williams. Early Wynn gained his 20th victory when Rocky Colavito’s threerun 10th-inning homer gave the Cleveland Indians a 4-1 triumph over the Kansas City Athletics and Billy Hoeft notched No. 19 as the Detroit Tigers scored a 5-3 decision over the Chicago W’hite Sox. Maxwell’s 28th homer set a club j

I. U. Football Players Given Polio Vaccine BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UP) — Indiana University’s football team, fortified with Salk polio vaccine, continued preparations today for Saturday’s home opener against lowa. The inoculations were administered to about 115 players, from varsity to freshmen, Tuesday afternoon before a short, defensive drill. Coaches and trainers also received the shots in a precautionary move recommended by physicians following two polio cases on the campus, one of them a player. Athletic director Frank E. Al len, meanwhile, countered rumors that Saturday's game may be cancelled as "highly remote and unjustified under the situation.” The condition of Mert Hoagland, 21, senior reserve guard from Fremont, Ohio, who was hospitalized with non-paralytic polio Saturday, was reported “much improved” at an Indianapolis hospital. Hoagland was “feeling much better, his temperature is down and there is no indication of paralysis," a spokesman saidRichard W. Cardwell, Kokomo, a student in the IU school of law and assistant to the athletic publicity office, has been ill with polio about two weeks. He, too, has shown “definite improvement"

officials said, although there was a possibility of “mild pararlysis.” In Chicago, Big Ten commissioner Kenneth L. (Tjig) Wilson said Tuesday if the game chnnot be played Saturday, ft could either be cancelled or be played Dec. 1, the first Saturday after the regular season ends. Rescheduling, said Wilson, would require permission of the faculty group. The university’s student health service, which previously recommended students to be vaccinated, reported a “disappointing” turnout of about 175. “The student health service was prepared and had hoped lor greater response,” said Dr. E. Bryan Quarles, director of the service. “Though there is no need to be alarmed by awo, instances of polio in a student body of 12,000. Salk protection is for everyone. every place. We hope the response would be greater hereafter.. . . ”
