Yellow Jackets Lose To Bluffton Tigers Friday Night By 28 To 24 Score

The Decatur Yellow Jackets came from behind in the second half to take a tea-point lead and then watched the Bluffton Tigers fight back to squeeze out a 28-24 win over the Jackets on the Bluffton field Friday night. Eight touchdowns were scored in the razzlednzzle offensive display, the winning margin being four extra points booted by Bluffton’s fullback, Parks. Fred Schott again set the ground gaining pace for Decatur and Tony Kelly and Gene Baxter each passed for a TD. but the powerful Bluffton running attack, plus a big break with three and a halt minutes to play, set the stage for the Tiger victory. The Jackets kicked off to Bluffton and the Tigers started right in with their spectacular ground attack. Seven plays, two of them 20 and .10 yard gains by Don Park, put the ball on the Decatur 20. Jerry Hook then popped off tackle and dashed the rest of the way for the TD. Park’s kick made it 7-0. Bluffton. The Jackets came right back with the Tiger kick. Ted Hutker returned the boot to the Decatur 45 and nine plays later the ball rested on the Bluffton 20. Decatur moved with ease through the Tiger line, but two illegal motion penalties kept the Jackets from making it look easier. After one incomplete pass. Gene Baxter threw a nice pass to Hutker who made a beautiful over the head catch for the score. The try for the extra point was stopped, and Bluffton led 7-6. This time, the Tigers used 11 plays to score. One of the plays was a 26-yard off-tackle spurt by Park, but it came after a 16 yard loss, so it barely made a first down. Park again rambled from the Decatur 20 to the one-foot line, and then plunged for the TD. Again, the kick was good, and Bluffton led, 14-6. The Jackets were getting their offensive into high gear now-, and

needed only five plays to score about midway in the second quarter. Hutker again returned the Bluffton kick-off to the Decatur 39. Schott picked up three, and then Baxter bolted 18 to the Bluffton 40. The same pair each picked up two yards apiece to put it on the Tiger 36. Tony Kelly then flipped a flat pass to Ty Ballard and Big Ty stretched out and easily outran the Bluffton secondary for a TD. Again the try for point failed and the Jackets trailed at 14-12. This time the Tigers got the ball and the Jackets held them. Bluffton was forced to punt after three -plays for the first punt of the game. Ballard broke through and partially blocked the punt and Fred Schott scooped it up on the Tiger plays for the first punt and Fred Sghott scooped it upon the Tiger 35 and ran to the 18. It looked as if the Jackets had a big break, but old dame fortune was smiling for the Tigers. On the next play, Bluffton recovered a fumbled Jacket lateral and ran out the first half in possession of the ball. The Jackets shook off their usual third period deadness and took over the ball game. The Bluffton kick went out-of-bounds on the Decatur 44 and -the locals started another march for the goal line. Eleven plays, five of them with Scbott carrying the ball, gave the Jackets a first down on the Tiger three. A penalty and two losses bounced Decatur back to the 25. On the next play. Kelly passed to Baxter to the 16, and a roughing the passer penalty moved the ball to the one. Schott plowed through the line and Decatur led, 18-14. Bluffton looked as though they might be tiring as they rattled off one first down with the kick-off and then had to punt. The ball rolled into the Decatur end zone, and the Jackets took over on their own 20. Fabulous Fred Schott picked up one yard and then bolted 41 yards to the Tiger 38. Eleven plays later, Tony Kelly charged two feet against an eleven man line for the touchdown and Decatur had a 24-14 lead with about eight minutes to Play. ' __ _. ..._ The Tigers were far from through, though. After the kick-off, they took just six plays to get back in the game. Hook dashed 40 yards through a tired Jacket defense for the score and Park's boot cut the Decatur lead to 24-21. , Decatur downed the ensuing kick on the Bluffton 49, and then. things went all wrong for Decatur. One play gained three yards, but a holding penalty made it second and 23 tor Decatur. A pass brought the ball back to the Jacket 44, but on the next play, the Tigers got their big break. Stan Kirkpatrick went in to punt for Decatur for the first time in the game. The pass from center was over Stan’s head, and all he could do was fall on the ball. Bluffton took over on the Decatur 22, with three minutes to play. Three plays gave the Tigers a first down on the Jacket nine, and four plays later, Hook plunged three yards for the final score of the game with 50 seconds to play. Again the kick was good and Bluffton had a 28-14 lead. The Jackets tried two desperation passes before time ran out. The Jackets’ next game will be at Columbia City October 19. Pos.

Officials — McFatridge, Windsor, Trexler. 50-Yard Line Flashes It was a tough game to lose, but both teams showed they could fight back in spite of being behind. It is encouraging to see 22 boys from Indiana off a football field playing as hard as they can all the time. This gripe does not stem from last night's game, but from three years of watching Decatur play football and talking with newspaper mer from all over the northern end of the state. It's about time the IHSAA did something about its officials besides sit back on its big overstuffed cushion and play dictator. In the Portland game. Decatur was denied a touchdown because the officials didn't know the rules. In the Garrett game, an official said Larry Moses wasn’t tripped when he tried to catch a pass, he just got his feet mixed up with a Garrett player's feet Clipping penalties have been called from the spot of the foul and from the spot where the ball was put in play. These are instances that affected Decaturother newspapers can cite more of the same. Naturally the officials can't see everything, and naturally I’m prejudiced for Decatur, but when these things happen time and again, all around, it’s time tor something to be done. Bluffton's timekeeper ought to read the rule book, or examine his conscience. On one play, when Bluffton had the ball, the clock was stopped on a completed pass. The play was near the sideline, but the official, after some prodding from coach Worthman, signaled for the clock to start. It still took about 10 seconds for it to get moving. After Bluffton’s final touchdown, the clock was run during the extra point. One of the few rules even I'm sure of is that the ball is dead as far as the clock is concerned from the time a TD is scored until the following kick-off puts it in play again. These plays didn't affect the score of the game, but how can students be expected to learn sportsmanship if those running the game don’t practice it. Fred Schott did it again last night. He gained 107 yards in 20 carries, and played a whale of a defensive game. Another boy that deserves a lot of credit is Jack Ladd. The senior guard is a great defensive player and gets down the field on a kick-off better than any other player on the team. The only question about last night’s game is why did the Jackets stay in a five-man line all evening. College Football UCLA 6, Oregon 0. — , - Miami (Fla.) 27, Boston College 6.

I Today's Sport Parade | By OSCAR FRALEY (United Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK (UP)—The quiet man’s bat was roaring its answer today to four years of heartbreaking frustration. Big OH Hodges back in 1952 “couldn’t buy .a hit” as he went hitless in 21 times at bat against these same New York Yankees. But this time around in the World Series it’s a far different story. For big Gil’S hitting won the first two games to put those oncelaughing Yankees into a deep, dark hole. The current series batting feats of the six-foot, two-inch Hoosier are amazing in comparison with his inability to hit of four years ago. Because after two games he is batting .714 with five for seven —on a homer, two singles and twodoubles —has scored four runs and knocked in seven. And those seven RBl’s put him only two away from the immortal Lou Gehrig's all-time series record Os nine set in 1928. , "Lt’s probably safe though,” said Hodges, who won the first game with a three-run homer and the second with a pair of two-run doubles. “You can't ever tell in this game because you’re a hero today and a bum tomorrow.” Big Gil is working that timeworn adage in reverse. Four years ago, Gil hit the bottom of the barrel after his miserable World Series, “I can't tell you how terrible I felt,” he recalls. “But the fans were great. They sent me a lot of encouraging letters and sure made me feel better about the whole thing.” • He felt even better today because. in comparison with 1952 when he "couldn’t hit a basketball with a bull fiddle,” Gil now is hitting everything they throw at him. The first of those doubles Friday came off a curve ball and the second against a sinker. Even more significant, those hits came off right handed pitchers. Gil’s homer in the opening game was against lefthander Whitey Ford but, in looking back to 1952, it -was the Yankee right handers who handcuffed the big man. So Friday’s production of three hits for four RBl's and his two runs scored were, as he phrased it, "something to make me feel pretty good.” Road Runners Club Meeting Postponed A Scheduled meeting of the Road Runners, Decatur’s hot rod club, has been postponed until further notice.
