Yellow Jackets Defeat Bluffton; Commodores Defeated By Hoagland

COMMODORES A rally in the final minutes of the game fell three points short and the Decatur Catholic Commodores lost a heartbreaker to the undefeated Hoagland Wildcats at the Hoagland gym Tuesday night. Although they poured in 20 points during the final quarter and most of these in the last four minutes, the Commodores could not overcome a bad third quarter and became the Wildcats’ fifth victim of the season. The local boys went into an early 3 to 0 lead on free throws and managed to stay Just ahead of their hosts during a sluggish first quarter, which ended with the Commodores on top, 15 to 12. In the second stanza, after about three minutes of play, the Hoagland quintet evened up the score on charity tosses and the remainder of the quarter was a nip and tuck affair, with the Wildcats holding a 30 to 28 advantage at the half-time intermission. A disasterous third quarter proved fatal for the green and gold. With Ron Meyer and Dave Kable forced to sit out the period because of four personal fouls, the team could only mark up seven points while Hoagland kept going to coir lect 16 markers. The Wildcats went into the last period with a 46 to 35 lead and in the first few minutes pushed their bulge up to 15 points before the Commodores finally came to life and began to control the game. Last quarter fouling by the Hoagland group aided the Decatur boys. Os the 20 D.C.H.S. points during the past period, 14 were charity tosses, and the. Commodores failed to connect on nine other attempts at the free throw line. With a little over a minute to go, Guenin scored a field goal to give the Wildcats a six point lead but a fielder by Hake and a free throw by Ron Meyer cut the lead to three points. However, time ran out on the Decatur boys and the game went to Hoagland. The winning team collected 20 field goals and cashed in on 18 of 38 field goal attempts while Decatur Catholic marked up 15 field goals and scored 25 out of 41 times at the charity line. The game was marked by close officiating with one boy on each team out and several collecting fdftr* personal fouls. A total of 46 fouls were called, 24 against the Commodores and 22 against Hoagland. One technical was called against Hoagland. Both teams used balanced scoring attacks. Hake was high point man for the Commodores with 16 while his team-mates, Reed and Meyer, each contributed 12. Bob Miller led Hoagland with 15 points and Grotrain followed with 14. The Commodores next meet the Rockcreek Dodgers on the Decatur floor Wednesday, Nov. 28. Commodores FG FT TP Hake - 4 8 16 Reed —- 4 4 12 Heimann . —... 10 2 R.

YELLOW JACKETS

Class and teamwork when it counted carried the Decatur Yellow Jackets to a 57-46. victory over the Bluffton Tigers Tuesday night at the Bluffton gymnasium where the local teams have won every game they’ve played since it was opened two years ago. The game was a little closer than the final score indicates, with Decatur cinching things in the last two minutes of play. The shopting for both teams left something to be desired, but the Yellow Jackets came through in the first and last quarters with some fine team play. Bob Banks got Decatur off to a fast start, dropping in two free throws early in the.'first period. The Jackets weie never behind after this, although the Tigers came close in the final • period. Bowman of Blufftpn tied the score with a pair of foul shots and Gene Baxter put Decatur back in the lead with a fast break field goal. Tangeman tied it up again with a fielder, and then the Jackets started to click. Combining a smooth fast break engineered by Banks, Baxter and Larry Moses when the occasion permitted, and working plays set up by Tony Kelly and Stan Kirkpatrick, Decatur moved to a 12-4 lead with three minutes to play in the opening quarter. Bluffton pulled up to 12-7 but Larry Moses slipped a nifty pass to Gene Baxter on the fast break and Baxter went under to make the score 14-7 at the quarter. Banks opened the scoring in the second period with two more charity shots and Moses and Kirkpatrick each got a rebound field goal while the Tigers could counter with only one field goal and the Jackets rolled to. a 20-9 margin. Then the Decaturites relaxed to the point of sloppiness and the Tigers took advantage of five bad Jacket passes to close things up considerably. High-scoring Ted Wasson got his first points of the game on a field goal to start things off for Bluffton with three minutes in the half. When the half ended, the Tigers had narrowed the margin to 24-18, with field goals by Kelly anl Banks keeping the point spread from becoming too uncomfortable. . , ’’ Through the first two minutes of th«» thiwL-stanzav the. teams traded points, with the Jackets holding a 27-21 lead, but then' the Tigers started their bid. Wasson and Davis bit from the field to cut Decatur’s lead to two points, and the game stayed that way through the quarter. Baxter and' Banks each hit two from the field and Kirkpatrick added one to offset the Tiger, spurt, and the Jackets led at three-quarters by 37-35. Tangeman started the fourth period with a foul toss to cut the Jackets lead to one point. Then Decatur started to play ball again. Baxter hit three points, Dbrwin two on a pair of foul shots and Kirkpatrick hit from the field to make the score ,44-36, ;Decatur, before Bluffton could find the range. The Jackets boosted it to 50-40 and then Bluffton made its final try. The Tigers hit four straight from the field to cut the margin to four points, 50-46, with two minutes to play. Bluffton’s last bid must have taken everything they' had, as the Tigers failed to score again. Moses got three of the last points and Kirkpatrick hit four to make the .final score 57-46, Decatur’s big boost came from the back court, as guards Gene Baxter and Bob Banks led all scorers with 15 points apiece. Baxter has long been a thorn in the Tigers’ side, and Banks, a junior, showed all the poise of a veteran. Kirkpatrick added 12 points to the Decatur cause, eight of them in the last period when they were needed the most, kelly was held to six points, but played a fine game on the pivot, setting up a lot of baskets with his passes: Scrappy Larry Moses was the ball-hawk for Decatur, doing most of the rebounding and stealing the ball on several occasions. He also added seven points. _ s» Wasson was the only Tiger to hit double figures, contributing 14 points, nine of them in the last half. The Jackets next game will be in Decatur November 30, .against the Concordia Cadets. It will be the first NEIC game of the season for Decatur. The Jackets now have a 3-0 record.
