Garrett Beats Jackets \ 1 For Conference Title; Commodores Win Here

YELLOW JACKETS The Decatur Yellow Jackets, despite a great team effort, fell victims to a Garrett stall game as the Railroaders slipped into the championship of the N. E- I. C, Friday night with a 38-34 win on the Garrett floor. It was evident from the start that the Railroaders weren’t capable of, and had no intentions of playing ball with the Jackets. They did the only thing they could to win, much to the mutual disgust of a large Decatur crowd and an equally big Garrett crowd who clamored throughout the game for Garrett to play bait The first minutes of the first quarter looked like a basketball game, and the Jackets moved right out to a lead. Stan Kirkpatrick hit from the field to give Decatur a 2-0 lead. Fee of Garrett tied the score, and then Bob Banks and Larry Getts traded field goals to make it 4-4. Kirkpatrick and Banks each hit two foul shots, and the Jackets led, 8-4. Getts hit again from the field, but Kirkpatrick came right back to give Decatur a four point lead. It was here that the Garrett stall started. Getts finally hit for Garrett, but Banks dropped in a one-hand-er to give Decatur a 12-8 lead at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter was as exciting as Brahms' lullaby, as the Garrett guards stood out near the ten-second line with the ball for as much as 90 seconds at a time. The stall worked, though, as, the Railroaders hit three straight field goals to take a 14-12 lead. Garrett’s stall was not intended to break open the Jacket defense, as Garrett would hold the ball for a long time, and then one of the Railroaders would let fly a long shot and hit. It was more like they were waiting for someone to feel like they could score — and they could. Larry Moses put Decatur back in the game by stealing a rebound from a Garrett player and laying it in. Hutton hit for the Railroaders, but Tony Kelly tied the score again at 16-16. Garrett stalled again for a minute and a half, playing for one last shot, but they missed and the half time score was 16-16. The Jackets got off to a quick lead in the third quarter as Kelly hit from the field, and Banks ad- . ded twe more foul shots for a 2016 bulge. The stall kept the Jackets from building up any sizeable margin, and Fee made it 20-18 with a field goal. Kirkpatrick hit a foul shot to give the Jackets a three point edge, but Larry Getts, the Garrett ace all season long, scored six straight points to give the Railroaders a lead they never lost. Kelly hit again from the field to cut the Garrett lead to 24-23 at the end of three periods. The teams exchanged two-point-ers at the start of the final period, and then Garrett ran off eight straight points, four from the

charity line, for a 34-25 lead. With four minutes to go, Decatur made its final move for victory. The Jackets tallied* seven point while holding the Railroaders scoreless, and came to within two, at 34-32. Getts got two free throws on Larry Moses’ fifth foul, and Hutton added a field goal to give the Railroaders a 38-32 lead. Tony Kelly hit a final field goal, but Garrett Stalled out the final 40 seconds and won the championship, 38-34. Getts was the game's top scorer with 16 points and Hutton added 14 for Garrett. Fee was the only other Railroader to score, as he got eight. Stan Kirkpatrick and Tony Kelly were the only Jackets to hit. double figures, and both boys played great games under the boards. Kirk had 12 points, and Kelly, who was particularly effective in the second half both in scoring and a fine job of rebounding, added 10. Bob Banks, junior guard, played a good defensive’game, and tallied nine points. Moses got the other three points to complete the Jacket scoring. Gene Baxter, the Jackets second leading scorer, played his usual good floor game, but had one of those nights when nothing would stick from the field. Statistics show how the stall threw Decatur off its game as the Jackets hit only 11 of 45 attempts from the field for a poor .244 percentage. Garrett connected on 14 or 42 shots for a .333 average. The Jackets hit 12 of 17 from the foul fine, while Garrett hit 10 of 15. The loss gives Decatur a 14-5 record for the season, and a 4-2 conference record, good for a second place tie with Concordia. The final regular game for Decatur will be next Friday at the Decatur gym against Butler.

COMMODORES The Decautr Commodores wound up their home season Friday night with a 57-50 victory over the Madison Tomcats of Jay county on the Decatur high school court, the 12th triumph for the Commodores as against six setbacks for the season. The Decatur lads were out in front all the way in the home windup, much of the time by a fairly comfortable margin, but the Jay county quintet’s pressing defense at times bothered the Commodores, who did not dare let up too much. Ron Ford hit on the first shot of the game and the Commodores were in the van to stay. Ron Meyer and Dale Hake built Decaturs lead to 6-0 before Dean Phillips hit Madison’s first fielder with 6:20 to go in the opening period. Meyer and Phil Reed each contributed eight points and Hake six to give the Commodores a good 2512 advantage at the end of the first quarter.

The Decatur lads upped their bulge to 15 points at 53-38 after two minutes of the final period, and after a Madison flurry which cut the Commodores’ lead to only seven points at 53-46 with four minutes to go, the Commodores played it carefully the rest of the way to preserve their victory. Ron Meyer and Reed shared the scoring honors for the victors with 16 points each, while Kable added 10. Sherill Fellers topped the Jay county quintet with 18 points, and Phillips and Jim Pfeifer each counted 11. The Commodores hit 13 of 26 free throws, Madison 18 to 27.

Spider Webb Wins Over Neal Rivers NEW YORK (UP)—“Three more fights And then a shot at the title,” was today’s schedule for Spider Webb, Chicago's spring-steel middteweight contender who Friday night gave Neal Rivers a bloody, lopsided licking for his 18th straight victory. Increasingly confident after his impressive Madison Square Garden debut, the lanky Spider said, "My next bout will be at Chicago Stadium, March 13, probably against Joey Giardello. And after that we want Tiger Jones, then Charley Humez of France — to clinch the title shot." Fourth-ranked Webb, weighing 158 pounds to 157 for Rivers of Las Vegas, Nev., had the game Far-Westerner bleeding from both brows and from the mouth and nose. And eighth-ranked Rivers was so groggy and exhausted in the final round that he fell down, without being hit, for a count of nine. Referee Harry Kessler ruled it a “knockdown," apparently to give Rivers a respite — instead
