Yellow Jackets Beaten By Central Catholic In Final Tourney Battle

'3 A tall, smooth-working Central Catholic Irish team took advantage of a first half letdown by Decatur’s Yellow Jackets Friday night to win the Elmhurst holiday tournament trophy by a final score of 71-60 before another hear capacity crqwd. The two teams played even in the second half, with the Jackets out-hustling their taller opponents, but the damage had already been done, as either nerves or lack of pep slowed thg Decatur team to a walk in the first'two periods. The Jackets made two game efforts in the second half, as they cut C.C.’s lead to four points in the third quarter only to drop back to a nine-point deficit, and again in the final stanza crept to within three tallies of tying things up. In the final account, it was a great two-man combo of John man and Jay Pelkington that did the damage. Fleischman hit 17 of Ms 26 points in the last half, and 11 in the final quarter. Pelkington got 25 points, and spread them out over the whole game.C.C. jumped off to a quick 4-0 lead on two free throws and a field goal by veteran Jim Haffner. Decatur moved into a tie at 5-5 on five feral shots, the final two by Stan Kirkpatrick- The teams were tied again at 9-9 on a field goal by Baxter, but it was evident that the Jackets needed a spark. The local team was getting good shots off over tile tight collapsing zone defense, but couldn’t make them stick. The Irish were getting better shots away against Decatur's sagging zone defense and making them count. The Irish led at the first stop by 21-15. Decatur's lethargy continued to play a major role in the second period. It was discouraging to see one good shot after another fail to connect, and seemed to drain the pep from the Jackets. Central , Catholic continued to dominate the

backboards and the scoring column as they surged to an 11 point, 26-J7 halftime bulge. Sparked by the enthusiasm of Larry Moses and a changed, oneout. four-under zone defense, the Jackets picked up momentum in the last half. Moses was the one man out, and raced from one C.C. man to another in a confusing manner. From a 12 point, 29-41 margin, Decatur started to move. Tony Kelly and Bob Banks each hit from the field. Stan Kirkpatrick stole the ball from the Irish and Moses sped down to score. A few seconds later. Moses took a clever pass from Baxter and hit again. Banks dropped in two charity shots, and the Irish called timeout with a narrow 43-39 edge. The break proved to stop Decatur's drive, as C.C. hit the next. five points, and led 48-39 at the three- ( quarters mark. •, The Jackets made one last effort to win their second Elmhurst tourney championship. Kelly hit from the left side, Kirkpatrick scored on a tip-in, and lightning Larry Moses counted twice in rapid succession to narrow the C.C. margin to three, 47-50. Decatur's candle had burned to the end with this spurt, though, and the Irish | started boosting their lead. Reserves played the last three min- j utes for both teams. Fleischman and Pelkington led all scorers and Haffner added 11 for the winners. Tony Kelly led the Jacket scorers with 17, Kirkpatrick had 12, Banks 11 and Baxter 10. The loss gave Decatur a .7-2 record for the season. The Jackets next game will be against the same Irish at Fort Wayne Jan. 4, and Decatur will entertain Elmhurst here Jan. 8. The Concordia Cadets ran over the host Elmhurst Trojans to win the consolation game, 60-34.

Rosewall Signed To Pro Tennis Contract SYDNEY, Australia (UP)-Jack Kramer announced today he signed Ken Rosewall, Australian Davis Cup tennis star, to a professional contract calling for $55,000 a year for 1957. In addition the 22-year-old player who teamed with Lew Hoad to turn back America’s bid, 5-0, in the recent Davis Cup challenge round, will receive 20 per cent of gate receipts over $350,000. Should he be able to beat Pancho Gonzales I during the professional tennis tours ' promoted by Kramer, Rosewall will receive a contract guaranteeing him $25,000 in 1958. But if the stony-faced Aussia is unable to handle Gonzales, king of the professionals, the 1958 contract is voided. ' Kramer also reportedly is interested in signing Hoad, the other Australian star. Kramer announced he had signed Rosewall shortly after he ; arrived here from “Adelaide where ■ the challenge round was played. 1 H. S.

Muncie Central Suffers First Season Defeat INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — The holiday hardwood lever which struck down Muncie Central threatened to side-track several other front-running Indiana high school basketball powers today. But South Bend Central, Marion and Hartford City were home safely with added prestige. Muncie's third-ranking Bearcats ran their unbeaten string to 9 with a hard-fought 71-63 conquest of North Central Conference rival Richmond in Fort Wayne's preliminaries Thursday, but hours later were downed by Marion of the NCC in a title thriller, 83-78. Marion, rated fourth in this week’s United Press coaches poll and beaten only by Hartford City, the No. 6 club, beat Fort Wayne South, 74-65, in the afternoon round. Against Muncie at \night, Woody Weir's boys, broke a 69-all deadlock on Bill Thomas’ pair\6f freethrows, then froze the ball to dump the proud Bearcats from the ranks of the unbeatens? South Bend Rolls On Muncie's Ted Sterrett caged 28 points for scoring honors, while all of Marion’s 6 players hit in double figures. Dave Huffman topped themi with 24. It was Marion’s 10th victory of the season and sixth in a row. I \ Unbeaten South Bend Central, No. 1 in the state, wrapped up the Lafayette tourney with an easy 57-45 conquest of the host Broncos. The South Benders, cashing in on their ninth win, were led by John Coalmon with 16 points and Herbie Lee with 12. They led at all stops. Mississinewa, with Ronnie Horn pumping in 31 points, shaded Seymour for third place, 66-64. Horn was the tourney’s top scorer with 58. Hartford City, the winningest major club in the state, made it an even dozen without a miss, trimming tourney host Bluffton, 60-47. The Airedales had three performers hitting in double figures. Cary Blair got 16, Cecil Beeson 15, and Fred Santilli 14. Fifth-ranking Mishawaka, defending state champion Indianapolis Attucks and city foe Tech, tied for eighth, and Jasper’s lOth-rated Wildcats risk their records today. Plenty Action Today Mishawaka blasted Vincennes in the Elkhart preliminaries Friday night, 75-43. Leßoy Johnsftn dropped 31 markers for the Maroons, who tangle with the host Blazers tonight. Elkhart rolled to an easy 69-43 victory over Hammond. The two Capital City quintets were still alive in the 8-team Indianapolis show, while Jasper entertains in its oqe-day session. Major tournaments—all one-day stands—also are on deck today at Anderson, Columbus, and Kokomo. Monticello, licked five times, emerged as surprise winner at Logansport, turning back the host team, 51-48. Ted Lane swished in the winryng bucket with 53 seconds left to break a 48-all deadlock. He also hit a freethrow to “ice” it. Jim Zerface led Monti with 20 points. Rex Harris got 18 for Logansport, while rangy teammate Ron Jones, who was averaging 19 points a game, was held to one fielder and five free ones. Meyer Bows Out Wabash beat Fort Wayne ftorth, 70-48, for the Huntington cham-

pionship. South Bend Adams emerged victorious in South Bend with a 59-42 decision over crosstown foe Riley. Fort Wayne Catholic knocked off Decatur, 71-60,' to win Elmhurst’s two-day meet.

Bears Slight Favorites To Win Pro Title NEW YORK (UP)—The Chicago Bears, growling lustily again after 10 years of disappointment,' are three point favorites to win the National Football League championship Sunday by whipping the New York Giants at Yankee i Stadium. Both the Bears and Giants will> be playing in the championship game for the ninth time since the league was split into two divisions in 1933, but neither has appeared in it since 1946, The fifth championship clash between the old rivals will be nationally televised on 187 stations but it will be "blcked out” in a 75-mile area around New York. The Bears and Giants played a 17-17 tie in a regular season game Nov. 25 but they won’t end in a deadlock this time. If the score is tied at the end of the regulation 60 minutes, the players will rest three minutes and then play “sudden death” until a t e a«n scores. ' • The Bears invade New York holding virtually every individual and team offense honor for the 1956 season. Fullback Rich Casares (1,126 yards) won the rushing title and quarterback Ed Brown captured the passing crown by < averaging 9.92 yards per throw. Harlon Hill’s 47 catches ranked him fourth among the pass receivers but his average of better than 22 yards per catch and 11 touchdowns, one for about every four receptions, stamps him as the league’s deadliest receiver. The Bears also won the team ground-gaining title with 4,537 yards while compiling a 9-2-1 rec-

ord. New York won the Eastern Division title with an 8-3-1 record. Decatur Teams Bowl At Portland Today Eight teams from Decatur are scheduled to bowl in the Portland tourney at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon. Teams scheduled are’ Citizens Telephone, Acker’s Cement, Begun’s Clothing, Moose 1131, Mies Recreation, Marathon Oil, Tastee Freeze, Burke’s Standard.
