Yellow Jackets Close Out Home Schedule By 15-01 Win ][Friday Nigh t

The Decatur Yellow Jackets bounced back into the win column Friday night as they humbled the Portland Panthers at Worthman field by a 15-0 score. The Jackets did all their scoring in the first half and held off one Portland drive that ended on the Decatur two-yard line. The Jackets took advantage of several breaks and showed the most spirit of any game this year. Portland kicked to the Jackets to open the game. Decatur failed to gain, and Stan Kirkpatrick kicked the Jackets out of trouble. Portland also tried without success for a first down and had to kick. The Panther punt was bad and Decatur took over on the Portland 24. Again the Jackets couldn't do It and Portland took over on their own 15. After one Panther first down, Ted Hutker hopped on a fumble, and Decatur took over on the Portland 33. Dewayne Agler and Fred Schott made it a first down on the Panther 21. On the next play, Gene Baxter took a hand-off from Bob Banks, and flashed off right tackle for 21 yards and a TD. Fred Schott, who tore the Panther line apart all night, bulled across the goal for the PAT, and Decathr led. 7-0. Portland was unable to move the ball with the Decatur kick-off. and to Decatur as the first quarter ended. The Jackets were also stymied and Stan Kirkpatrick came 1

in to punt. "Kirk - ' booted the ball clear over, the head of the Panther safety man. Ty Ballard and the Portland back chased after tha ball, and while the Panther got to the ball first, he picked it up in the end sone and Ty clobbered him for a safety and two points. Decatur led. 9-0. After the safety, Portland kicked off to Decatur from the Portland 20. Baxter returned the kick to the Portland 39, anjJ Decatur rolled again. The Jackets moved to the Panther 15, but a penalty took them back to the 30. Baxter passed to Moses for ten yards and then flipped a Hat pass to Bob Banks, who outran the defense for the final score of the game. The try for extra point failed, and the score was Decatur, 15-0. The third quarter was all Portland. The Panthers moved the kick-off from their own 13 to the Decatur 40, but Ted Hutker broke up this drive by recovering a fumble. Decatur then ran its three plays of the quarter, and had to punt. The ball was downed on the Portland 16. and again the Panthers moved. This time they drove clear to the Jacket 2. Jerry Strausberg. the Portland fullback, ground out large gains as the Decatur line relaxed with the 15-point lead. The first play of the fourth quarter was a Portland fourth down with two yards to go for the touchdowh. The Panther quarterback tried to pitch out for an end run, but the rushing Jacket line caused him to fumble, and Decatur took over on their ow’n 12. The rent of the quarter was a mild Decatur march to run out the clock, except for one series when the teams went into an Alphonse. Gaston act. The Jackets had rfbved to the Portland 27 when a Baxter pass was intercepted on the visitors 10. On the following play. Bob Banks intercepted a Panther pass on the 21. Portland recovered a Decatur fumble on the next play, and on the following scrimmage. Ted Schrock grabbed off a Portland pass.

The rest of Decatur’s games will be played away from home. The Jackets will meet a tough Concordia team at Dwenger park in Fort Wayne next Tuesday.

50-Yard Line Flashes Last night's spirit was certainly encouraging. Despite the loss of Tony Kelly, and sparse use of John Isch. the Jackets had the stuff to win. Gene Baxter showed he wasn’t bothered by any injury. Larry Moses had a little trouble with his ankle, but it is nothing serious. The whole team played a fine game last night, but two boys that deserve a lot of credit are Bob Banks and Stan Kirkpatrick. Banks had played very little so far thii year, and Stan had worked out with the team, but failed to dress. Bob played a fine game at quarterback, both offensively and on defense. He scored one touchdown, intercepted a pass, and made a lot of tackles. Last night should give Bob some confidence and bring him into bis own as a football player. Stan was a regular last year, but due to a knee injury suffered last season, had assumed the role of combination manager and morale booster while practicing with the team. He came into the game and kept Decatur out of trouble with some of the finest high school punting ever seen on Worthman Sell. He teamed up with big Ty Ballard to give Decatur a safety. Any question about the condition of his knee were answered. Decatur's last touchdown showed some quick thinking on the part of Baxter and Banks. Gene was trying to throw a long pass, but both’ ends were covered. As the Panther line charged, he spotted Banks blocking for him and yelled. Bob turned around in time to grab the ball and run for the score. ( According to the rules, Ted Hut- | ker should have had a touchdown 'in the third quarter. He scoopun 1 up a loose lateral and went the disI tance, but the officials said it only a recovery at the spot TWfi first picked up the ball. High school rules state that a fumble cannot be advanced, but a lateral, whether it touches the ground or not, can be run with by either team. Both of these situations showed a lot of quick thinking by the Decatur players. Portland's straight power plays worked good, but their attempts to get fancy were costly. They tried the buck-lateral series off the single wing and the “belly” series off the T with disastrous results. The Yellow Jackets face tough opponents next week. Tuesday they travel to Fort Wayne to battle the undefeated Concordia Cadets and next Friday are the guests of their old rivals, the BluffSfiß; Concordiajtnd Garrett battled to a scoreless tie, and no more needs to be said about them.

The Tigers started out slowly this year, but have gained momentum to become the best offensive team in the area. Their defense is not too good, but as long as they can score enough points, it doesn't have to be. Joey Giardello Is Winner Over Boyd CLEVELAND, Ohio (UP)—Today Giardello challenged the whole middleweight division today that he was “ready to take on anybody, anytime" and he expected to get some takers from promoters impressed with hie fifth round knockout of second-ranked Bobby Boyd in the Friday night TV fight. Giardello sent the hitherto classy Boyd to the canvas twice, once in the first round and again in the fifth before finishing him with a right cross for the full count of 10. Boyd, who had been the 2-1 favorite suffered broken bridge work and a lost molar. He was x-rayed for a possible broken jaw. y —■' ■ 11 ■ « Indianapolis Takes 2-0 Series Lead ROCHESTER, N. Y.

Braves Errors Lead To Loss To Cardinals By UNITED PRESS A slight case of jitters threw Milwaukee into a nervous pennant sweat today and provided a golden opportunity for a heartened Brooklyn crew to bounce back into first place again by nightfall. The Braves were all thumbs Friday night in dropping a 5-4 heart-breaker to the Cardinals and the Dodgers can make sure the National League race is all even again by beating the pesky Pirates in both ends of a twin-bill today. Better yet, the Brooks can take over the lead by a full game if they knock off Pittsburgh twice and the shagy Braves blow another one to the loosy-goosy Redbirds tonight. Sal (no-hit) Maglie, a Piratebeater from way back, and young Roger Craig carry the Dodger hopes today in a <}oubleheader that was brought about by a Pitts-burgh-Brooklyn rainout Friday night. Maglie goes against rub-ber-armed Bob Friend in the opener while Craig faces fastbailer Ronnie Kline in the nightcap. Southpaw Warren Spahn, Milwaukee's 20-game winner, opposes Herm Wehmeier. of the Cards in the all-important arc-light contest at St. Louis. Errors by catcher Del Crandall and second baseman Jack Dittmer were instrumental in the Cardinals vltAory over the Braves Friday night. W’ith the score tied at 3-S in the sixth, Kenny Boyer, Rip Repulski and Bobby Del Greco singled in succession to put St.

Louis ahead. Pitcher Lindy McDaniel also singled off reliever Taylor Phillips to load the bases and Don Biasingame followed with a grounder to Joe Adcock, whose throw to the plate forced Repulski. Crandall's throw to first was poor, however,and got away from Adcock as Del Greco raced home with what proved the deciding run. Over in the American League where the pennant already is decided, Mickey Mantle smashed his 52nd homer to lead the Yankees to a 7-2 win over the Red Sox. Rookie Hank Aguirre's four-hit pitching led Cleveland to a 2-1 triumph over Detroit, while two homers by Minnie Minoso helped Chicago defeat Kansas City, 6-5. Rain also postponed games between Baltimore and Washington and the Giants and Philies. *■ . ■' « Vim Net League To Meet Tuesday Night FORT WAYNE, Tnd. — The Erst organisational meeting of the Vim independent basketball league for 1956-57 will be held at the Vim store in Fort Wayne Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. The league Is open to all independent basketball teams in the area.
