Concordia Cadets Win Over Yellow Jackets By Score Os 21 To 14

Decatur's limping Yellow Jackets, fighting right dqwn to the final whistle, dropped a 21-14 decision to the tough Concordia C*»| dets at Dwenger park in Foil Wayne Tuesday night. The Jackets, still playing without Tony Kelly and John Isch outplayed a bigger Cadet eleven three quarters. but relaxed in the second slants as the Concordians drove for two touchdowns. Larry Moses sat out more than half the game with a re-injured ankle and the bulk of the offensive load was carried by Fred Schott. The Jackets kicked to Concordia to open the battle, and Banks' boot traveled clear to the end zone. Concordia put the ball in play on their 20, and managed one first down before the Decatur line held them. The Cadets punted to Decatur. and the,Jackets offense failed to move. Kirkatrick'e kick was reutrned to the Cadet 45, but again the Jackets held. With a fourth down and 15 to go situation, Concordia tried to punt. A bad center forced the kicker to down the ball on the Cadet 24. where Decatur had a first down. Schott picked up six yards through the middle and Ted Hutker recovered a Jacket fumble on the Cadet 11 for a first down. One play failed to then limping Larry Moses went around left • end, had good blocking to the five and forced his way the rest of the way for a touchdown. Schott added the PAT on a plunge, and Decatur led. 7-0. Concordia took the Jacket kick off and started the first of two touchdown drives in the eecond quarter. From their own 26. the ' Cadets moved 74 yards in eight plays, with Doug Doehrmann picking up the last seven and the TD, Doehrmann added the PAT on a plunge and the score waq tied. Decatur was unable to move the ball- with the Concordia kickoff, and punted to the Cadets. The ball changeth hands again and Decatur punted out of bounds on the Cadet 29. Then'lthe Cadets started their second drive fighting two foes, the Jackets and time. It took only four plays this time for the Cadets to travel 71 yarils. Ron Roamer. Concordiars trig fwhback,'betted the* final 21 for theA*D' ‘Kraft"if!ifnged for the PAT to make the score 14-f. Concordia, at the half. The third quarter was scoreless as Decatur put on two drives, but had one stymied by a fumble and another squelched by an interceptpass. Concordia got as faf as the Decatur 12-yard line on one march, Simhe Jackets held to end that threat. The fourth quarter looked like it would be a replay of the third before things broke lootse. Concordia managed a drive to the Jacket 27, and again the Decatur team held and took . over. They were forced to punt and the Cadets marched back to Decatur’s 19 yard line, only to be denied again as the jackets held and took over. On the first play, the Cadet line burst through and smothered Banks as he attempted a handoff. Doehrmann picked up the bobhled lateral and went the 19 yards untouched for Concordia’s final TD. Doehrmann added the extra point on a plunge, and the Cadets led. 21-7. Decatur made its only successful sustained drive of the game with the Cadet kickoff. Gene Baxter.' who sat out part of the first half ; after/behig knocked out. returned | the kick to the Decatur 38, and I then turned the game over to! Fred Schott. Schott knew' what to i do With it too. Fred ground out 35 * yards through the good Concordia, line, and Banks, Baxter and Agler I each carried the ball once for the I other yardage to put the ball on -■the Concordia 19 yard line withl fourth down and ten yards to go j and 45 seconds to play. Baxter ‘ then crossed the Cadet defense by ■ dropping back and throwing a' bulls-eye to Ted Hutkef all alone

Fred Schott night at the Dwenger desert last night. Fred was all over the field on offense and defense, and in the final drive for Decatur, outplayed the whole Cadet team. He also gave half of them a three or four yard ride every time he carried the ball. A couple of times he carried so many of them he should’ have sold tickets for the rides. Fred was just as good on defense. He gave away about 30 pounds in weight to Roemer, but knocked abo*it 20 of those off the Cadet fullback with teeth Jarring tackles. Ted Hutker, as usual, played a stand-out game too. The wiry Jacket end teamed up with Ty Ballard to put a good lid on the Cadet’s best play — end runs. The value of these two boys on defense is almost impossible to set. If memory serves correct, not a single touchdawn has been scored around Decatur’s biMfs’fbWjWr. Hrtjte fIW same can be said Saturday. Schott picked up 77 yards in 15 carries' last night. He could have picked up more if he hadn’t had to push part of his own team out of the way before he could start pushing the Cadets down the field. It's a shame that any team has -to play —foot halt on the likes oT Dwenger park. If they use limousines to bring in relief pitchers in baseball, they should have used camels to eend in substitutes last night. Gene Baxter was knocked out on a tackle, and was out on his feet for a while. After coming to. and a medical check. Gene was ready to go back in again. Lady luck was the best pass defense Decatur had last night. The Cadet receivers were continually in the open, but most of the time, the passes failed to click. It was nice to see Hutker go deep on the final play for the TD. Both Baxter and Kelly can throw the ball long, and Ballard. Moses and Hutker can get down the field. Friday night the Jackets will be in the Tigers' lair. Hope the i boys can get up for this .one. and i that some of the injuried ate well. Top International Pitcher To Cards TORONTO (UP) — Lynn Loveni guth, the International League's ! top pitcher in the 1956 season with a 21-12 won-lost record, has been ' sold by the Toronto Maple Leafs to thte St. Lottis Cardinals. lit reJ turn, the Leafs are to receive third baseman Stan Jok, pitcher Jim [ Pearce and a player to be named later.

Tom Fletcher Os Purdue Is Back Os Week. INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — He came to Purdue highiy recommended and in his junior year he has made believers out of “Doubting Thomases.” Despite a knee injury, he gave Missouri fits last Saturday with his razzle - dazzle running. He scored the winning touchdown to help get Jack Mollenkopf’s new grid regime off to a flying start. He is little Tommy (The Bomb) Fletcher, the United Press midwest "Back of the Week.” This flve-foot-nine inches fireplug is the most elusive runner the Boilermakers have developed In recent years. He is the first real breakaway ballcarrier since Harry Szulborski in the lake 1940< and probably much more explosive. As a sophomore last season, he played second fiddle as a ballcarrier to Bill Murakowski, Jim Whitmer and Jim Peters. He got the pigskin for just 11 attempts and gained a measly 24 yards all season. But some changes were made when Mollenkopf took over the reins from Stu Holcomb. Getting a smooth running attack to go with Len Dawson's passing was the new coach’s goal — and Fletcher had a prominent place in his plans. In spring training and early this fall, Fletcher lived up to the predictions of Bill Elias, his former prep coach'at Richmond, Hid., that "you won’t see any better runner on our college gridirons.” Fletcher’s status for the opener against the Tigers was questionable due to a knee injury, but he was ready for Don Faurot’s boys. Missouri will tell you that’s an understatement, for Fletcher carried the ball 22 times for 154 yards, only two yards less than the Tigers’ rushing total. Tn the third period, with the score tied at 7-7, Fletcher climaxed his day’s work. Dawson faked a handoff to Mel Dillard, flipped the ball to Fletcher and he danced, wiggled and' side-stepped 35 yards for the score as the entire Missouri -secondary lay sprawling oh the ground. “I think Fletcher did an outstanding job of running,” said Mollenkopf. "I think his selection (as midwest back) was a wise one.” . , Mollenkopf said tremendous speed, a tricky change of pace and great desire make Fletcher a dangerous player every time he has the ball. “When about to be tackled, he has away of kicking himself free. Besides, he’s also a fine pass defender,” Another asset, of course, is his small size. He can scoot away from under giant defenders, as he proved against the Tigers. Small wonder, then, they're smiling in the Boilermaker camp. For a fine breakaway runner is rare, and Mollenkopf is mapping big plans for his newly ■ found star—and that spells trouble for Purdue’s foes this year and next.
