Yellow Jackets Lose In Hard-Fought Battle At Hartford City, 12 To 7 t'.. - _ _ _

The Decatur Yellow Jackets, battling all the way against their toughest opponents of the year, lost a hard-fought 12-7 football game to the Hartford City Airdales on the Blackford county field Tuesday night. It was a terriffic defensive battle, with both lines charging hard aH night, and neither team getting much of a drive underway.' The Jackets came from behind to take a 7-6 lead at the half, but the Airdales, one of Hartford City's best elevens in many years, generated a drive that finally paid off with two minutes and 10 seconds left in the game. The first quarter was one of all defense, with only one first down manufactured by both teams. Dev catur took the opening kick-dff on its own 37 and gained eight yards in three plays. Hartford City took a Jacket punt and managed the same yardage. The Airdale punt was short, and Ty Ballard returned it to the Hartford City 37. Three plays, one a 14-yard burst by Larry Moses, gave the Jackets the quarter's only first down on the Airdale 20. A five-yard penalty and an eight yard loss killed any threat the' Jackets had hopes of. A Moses to Ted Hutker pass picked up 15, and two runs gained six to the 12, and Hartford City took over. Decatur came back strong on defense to get one more try in the first period. A four-yard loss made the Airdales jittery, and on the next play, Ballard recovered a fumbled lateral on the Hartford City 11. Four plays could grind out only six yards against the stiff Airdale defense, and H.C. took over on its own 5. They managed six yards in three plays, and then kicked short and out of bounds on their own 20. Decatur could manage only seven yards, and lost the ball on the Hartford City 13 at the end of the first period. Hartford City's offense came to life in the second period, and the breaks, which had been favoring the Jackets, went the other way. The Airdales moved out to their own 48-yard line in three plays, one being a 32-yard pass from Bench to Kemp. Decatur stiffened again, with Hutker and Fred Locke nailing an Airdale for a five-yard lon, and Ballard #jd Just arrived Lee Hats for Fall for lolturo ths U( Luant -j - for swonlng $10.95 ths Lit nsttt . ■ for everyday ths LEE AOVENTURE $10.95 And . see the new LEE THREE-HAT WARDROBE.

>. teaming up for a 12-yard reverse.! A run brought the ball back to tha 48, and the Airdales were forced to punt. A good punt was returned to the Decatur 15, but two plays and a clipping penalty put it back on the two. The Jacket punt was returned | ;to the Decatur 14, a line plunge gained a yard, and then fullback Rex Elliot burst through the middle for a 13-yard Scoring run. The attempted pass for the extra point fell Incomplete and Hartford City led. M. The Jackets started to roll with the Airdale kickoff. They moved to the Airdale 44 in three plays before an intercepted pass temporarily ended the drive. Two plays later. John Hebble grabbed a Hartford City fumble on the Airdale 40, and the Jackets were off on a race against the clock. A pass interference penalty gave Decatur a first down on the 25, and four plays later, Moses picked up a first down on the 14. Two passes failed to click, but on the last play of the half, Moses threw to Tim Murphy on the five, and Murphy dragged two tacklers with him over the goal. Moses shot off tackle for the PAT, and Decatur led at the half, 7-6. The second half was all defense for Decatur, as the Jackets managed only one first down. Hartford City changed its offense to off tackle drives and started to grind out yardage with the Decatur kickoff. They moved for three first downs to the Jacket 23, but a four yard loss on a tackle by Locke, and a clipping penalty gave Decatur the ball on the Jacket 31. Decatur failed to move and punted out to the mid-field mark, where Hartford City started to pound away again. They moved to the Decatur 26 when the third period ended. Hutker nailed a ten-yard loss on the Airdales, apd their drive fizzled out on the Decatur 31 again. The Jackets managed their lone second half first down and moved out to the 43 before forced to kick. The Airdales were out to prove the third time was a charm as they hammered away at the tiring Decatur defense-. SJarting at the TM-yard fine, they moved to the three in ten plays, and Merrill Rhodes plunged for the TD. Again the try for extra point was thwarted. and the Airdales had a 12-7 lead with 2:10 to play. Decatur tried to click on a long pass but failed. Hartford City took over, but lost the ball on the second play on a fumble, as the Jackets fought for one more chance. Three desperation passes went incomplete and the final gun sounded.

Minnesota Is Worried Over Grid Injuries * By UNITED PRESS There’s "genuine concern” today in the Minnesota football camp over injuries to a number of key players on the Gophers’ first two units. . Coach Murray Warmath said speedy sophomore halfback Billy Martin and guard Paul Barrington probably will be sidelined for the opener against Washington Sept. 28 In addition, quarterback Bobby Cox and fullback Rich Borstad probably will not be at full strength for the game. Injuries also will knock three Michigan State players out of the Spartans’ opener against Indiana. The physician said guard Mark Tate and halfbacks Gerald Drke and John Soavey will be sidelined. Fullback Don Gilbert, slowed by injuries, has been replaced by Don Arend in the first string It was a different story at Indiana, however, where Acting Coach Bob Hicks said the Hoosiers were "coming along better than ever." Hicks said injuries have been light so far. The Hoosiers ran Spartan offensive plays Tuesday in preparation for their opener. Two Michigan players, sophomore right half Fred Julian and junior fullback John Herrnstein, returned to action and appeared to be fully recovered from injuries suffered last week. But left half Jirq Pace suffered a bruised rib and probably will be sidelined the rest of the week. Ohio State Coach Woody Hayes, irked by what he called a "dull, dull, dull’’ practice session Tuesday, indicated he might put the Buckeyes through extra work if they don’t show up better today. Hayes said the squad missed assignments, dropped passes, rumbled and executed few successful play during the session. . Wisconsin Coach Milt Bruhn con"tinued his "shuffle strategy" by shifting returning letterman Melvin Morris from left tackle to guard Bruhn said he made the change in a search for the right line combination. Tuesday was the Badgers’ last two-a-day drill session. Purdue’s squad went through light double drills and then attended a Chamber of Commerce lunch at which Coach' Jadk Mollenkopf lauded the squad as “comparatively ..small rjo- size,■ but it i& big in heart. He "boys believe in themselves and each other ’’ Quarterbacks John Talley and Chip Holcomb handled the passing chores as Northwestern prepared for its opener with Stanford. The Wildcats also worked on punting and kick-off formations with cocaptain Bob McKicver emerging as the top booter. Illinois’ 210-pound junior fullback Tack Delveaux, who broke his thumb in the first scrimmage, worked out in pads Tuesday during semi-contact drills. He is expected to be ready for the Illini opener against UCLA Sept. 27. Notre Dame Coach Terry Brennan termed the Irish in “pretty good" shape after a dummy scrimmage. His chief problem was at right guard where veteran Al Ecttyer is sidelined with an injured hip, and Bob Gaydos has a dislocated finger. Gene Shue Signs Z Pistons' Contract DETROIT (in — Guard GeneShuc who ranked seventh in the National Basketball Assn, in assists last season, has signed for the 1957-58 campaign with the Detroit Pistons. Shue had a scoring average of 10.9 during the 1956-57 campaign.

Commodores Lose To Berne Here Tuesday The Berne Bears, taking advantage of bases on balls and errors, defeated the Decatur Commodores, 12-2, at McMillen field in this city Tuesday (afternoon. The Commodores threw 16 players into the contest, but none of the combinations clicked to any reasonable degree, with many more misplays contributing to the Berne run total than in the five errors officially charged ot the Decatur boys. The visitors scored five runs in the first inning, with all scoring coming after the side should have been retired, with the big play of the inning a collision of two of the outfields while going after a routine fly ball., Three walks paved the way for two more Berne runs in the fourth inning, two scored in the sixth on two errors and a pair of bases on .balls, and the Bears wound up their scoring with three in the seventh on two errors and two hits. The Commodores, who were limited to five scattered hits, scored both their runs in the fourth inning on a hit batsman, a walk and three singles. The Commodores will play at Hartford Thursday afternoon. Score by innings: RHE Berne —— 500 202 3—12 9 0 Commodores 000 200 0— 2 5 5 Stahly and Collier; P.

Adcock, Aaron Lead Braves To 3-1 Win By FRED DOWN I'nited Press Sports Writer Joe Adcock and Hank Aaron appear ready today to give the Milwaukee Braves the one-two punch that'll eventually stiffen the. St. Louis Cardinals. Coming through when they were needed most, big Joe aM the lithe defending National League batting champion took care of the Braves' offense all by themselves Tuesday night in a 3-1 victory over the New York Giants that kept Milwaukee's lead at three games. It was a vital victory because the run-happy Cardinals walloped the Brooklyn Dodgers, 12-5, for their 10th triumph in their last 12 games. The Braves didn’t increase their lead but they gained something just as precious — time. They’re ' still three games in front — and now the Cardinals have only 10 games to make up the margin. Adcock, injured most of the last three months, hammered his first homer since June 9 with a mate aboard in the second inning and also collected two singles- Aaron tied Ernie Banks for the major league home run lead with his 41st in the eighth and also smashed two doubles. Trowbridge Notches Victories Bob Trowbridge, young righthander who has allowed only five earned runs in his last 35 innings, pitched an air-tight five-hitter to gain his seventh victory for the Braves while rookie Curt Barclay was tagged with his ninth loss The Cardinals, driving down the stretch like the old Gashouse Gang of the 19305, poured over seven •uns in the seventh inning to clinch their victory over the Dodgers. A double by Don Blasingame and a bases-filled triple by pinch-hitter Irv Noren were the big blows of the frame which brought Larry Jackson his 15th win. Danny McDevitt took the loss for the Dod-gers—-his fourth against six wins. In the American League, the New York Yankees whipped the Detroit Tigers. 7-1. and increased their lead to 6% games with only nine to play when the Baltimore Orioles rallied to defeat the Chicago White Sox, 7-5, in 10 innings. The Cincinnati Redlegs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-5, and the Chicago Cubs defeated the Philai delphia Phillies, 7-1, in other NL > games while the Boston Red So > shaded the Kansas City Athletics, 9-8, and the Cleveland Indians beat the Washington Senators, 7-3, in other AL games. Hank Bauer touched off a sixi run eight-inning rally with a homer as the Yankees routed southpaw Billy Hoeft. Bobby Shantz turned in a four-hitter and contributed a two-run single to New York's big inning to win his 11th decision. Fierce Loses Heartbreaker Billy Pierce, trying for his 20th win, carried a one-hit, 5-1 lead into the eighth inning when the Orioles rallied for four runs clinaxed by Gus Triandos’ two-run double. The Orioles won it against rookie Barry Latman in the 10th on Joe Durham’s single and Bob Nieman’s homer. Homers by Bob Thurman and George Crowe sparked the Red legs to a five-run outburst in the sixth and helped Joe Nuxhall win his 10th decision and fourth of the year over the ’Pirates. Roman Mejias and Frank Thomas homered for the Pirates who saw Bob Friend suffer his 18th loss Moe Drabowsky scattered seven hits and knocked in two runs with a homer and double to. win his 11th game for the Cubs. Jack Sanford, 17-game winning rookie, suffered his eighth setback Ted Williams’ pinch homer tied the score and Billy Klaus singled home a second run as the Red Sox rallied in the eighth to top the Athletics and Ray Narleski pitched a nine-hitterj for his 11th victory as the Indians handed the Senators their 89th loss of the year.

50-Yard Line Flashes By JACK HELLER Decatur didn’t win, but they sure “come to play” last night. The boys gave it everything they had, and that's all that can be asked of any team. That was one of the best Hartford City teams in a long time, and they had to work for every yard. The defensive line was great all the way. Pat Franklin, Fred Locke, John Hebble, Jack Macklin and Tim Murphy were charging hard and got a lot of tackles. Ends Hutker and Ballard were back in their old form, and caused considerable loss of yardage to Hartford City.' On offense, Ted Hutker is finding-, out the woes of being a standout player as a junior. “Huk” is hit either by an end or linebacker every time he goes out for a pass, and then is double-teamed in the secondary—it makes it rough to break into the open. . Bob Banks’ ankle injury in the 1 first quarter HurtsthiTDecMtil'ba'ks- ■ ing attack. It's doubltful whether Bob will be able to play much ' against Garrett Friday; Jim Reidenbach, who was in on most of the tackles, did a good job filling in for Banks,-“Red” can’t throw long as welj as Banks, but is good on the short pass, and a fine blocker. The offense didn't click very well last night. It looked at times like the backfield was up mighty close much time to get a hole opened. Friday’s game against the Garrett Railroaders has been on the minds of a lot of the team for a year. This bunch showed last night that they can play if they want to. and they’ll have to really put out all the way to beat Garrett. The
