Yellow Jackets Lose To Garrett Railroaders In Rugged Battle, 7 To 0 - >• 1--- —« — ——— *~ ——————' W >S"I -i ii

The Garrett Railroaders, one of the best in northern Indiana, got the shock of their life Friday night as they were shoved all over their own field for three quaretrs by a smaller but more determined crew of Decatur Yellow Jackets, who finally tired and bowed to the northern eleven, 7-0. It was size and ability against determination and ability, and while the former won out after a terrific battle, a break in the right place could have turned the tide. Garrett failed to get past the midfield stripe in the first half, made only one drive in the third period, and finally managed one scaring dirve late in the final period. The Jackets made one drive in each period — one failing against the big 'EJarrett line, and one losing its power after a bad break. The Jackets kicked to Garrett to open the game, and the Railroaders found out early that they were not out for the field day they anticipated. After one first down, Garrett was forced to punt. Decatur took over on its own 40 and lost the ball when a fourth down gamble was inches short. Garrett was also held inches short on a fourth down attempt, and the Jackets started to move. Two plays picked up five yards, and then a Reidenbach to Moses screen pass, coupled with some good blocking and fancy running, clicked for 28 yards for a first down on the Garrett 27. Four plays later, the same play worked to the Railroaders 6, and Ty Ballard powered to the 4 as the quarter ended. Garrett's big line came to life in the second period, to stop the Jacket drive on their own five. The Railroaders managed only three yards in two plays and punted cut. Decatur came back with another drive. Starting at the midfield stripe, a Reidenbach to Ted Hutker pass carried to the 22. Moses passed to Tim Murphy to the 14, but a low cen-

ter pass with the slippery football squirted back to the Garrett 25. where the Railroaders recovered- Garrett managed to move out to their own 47, but Moses intercepted a pass to kill any threat. The Reidenbach to Hutker combination worked again for 12 yards, but time ran out before any more plays. The Jackets had one more threat left. They took the Garrett kickoff, and started out. Ty Ballard gained eight to the Decatur 48, and then big Bob Shraluka carried for four consecutive plays and a first down on the Garrett 34. Moses picked up nine more to the 25, but a fumble ended the last JJecatur offensive threat. The Jackets were far ‘from done, though, as they held off the Railroaders twice before Garrett finally wore down and ■cored on Decatur. Garrett’s offensive came to life and they started to .roll. A 34 yard run by Mel Culler and a 19 yard Carson Culler to Kobiela pass were the big plays in a Railroader drive that carried to the Jacket nine. There, the Decatur line proved unbreakable, and held on fourth down. Decatur s offense moved the ball out to their own 46 as the period ended. Jim Gay ground out five, ( to the Garett 49. but two five yard penalties put the Jackets in the hole, and Mel Culler intercepted a Decatur pass and returned it to the Garrett 49. The Railroaders failed to move, and punted to the Jacket 12. Decatur's attempt to hold the ball was killed by a five yard penalty, and Moses kicked from the goal line to the Decatur 39. This time Garrett was out to score. In seven plays the Railroaders moved to the nine, and Kobiela drove over for the score. Carson Culler added the PAT on a run, and Garrett led, 7-0. with two minutes to play. The Jackets were still trying with long passes, and a Reidenbach to Hutker toss was good for 21 yards, but a 15-yard penalty killed the drive, and Garrett took over to run, out the clock. The Yellow Jackets had 10 first downs to nine for the Garrett eleven. Decatur was assessed 60 yards in penalties against 20 for Garrett Garrettnow has a three win and one tie record and Decatur has a one win and three loss record. The Jackets next game will be Friday, Sept. 27, at Port land. Garrett Decatur IF. Vanderbosch ?J ur ?v y LT Livergood Macklin

Archie Moore Whips Anthony To Keep Title LOS ANGELES < UP)—Like OU Man River, Archie Moore, aged 40—something, just keeps rollin' along. In fact, he was talking about a "comeback” in the heavyweight division today after giving the audacious young challenger. Tony Anthony, a terrible shellacking Friday night and finally scoring a technical knockout in the 7th round. "But that was one of my better fights last night,” he said. ’'l'm in real fine condition- Maybe before I try the heavyweights we might give that young fellow from Canada, Yvon Durelle, a shot at my title. After all, ne fought a draw with Anthony and deserves it.” Crowd Os 7.500 Archie was hardly puffing after he completed his chore against the 22-year-old Anthony before a slim house of about 7,500, who paid $60,000. However, millions more watched the bout on television. It was a fairly close battle for five rounds while Moore set up a “previously devised” plan of battle. Then the roof caved in- That came in the sixth round. The pace apparently had started to slow up when the fury of Archie’s potent fists broke loose. He ball er e d the bewildered young foe around the ring from one side to the other. But the superbly - conditioned challenger wouldn’t go down. Saved By Bell Late in the stanza, Archie stepped back waiting for Tony to fall. But when Anthony stood up, Archie reached out with a light tap to the chin and the boy toppled backwards. He was saved by the bell after the count reached fiveThe seventh was the beginning of the end. Archie Moore, with the spring of youth in his legs, and the attitude of an angry bull, tore after his weakened foe. He finally knocked him to the canvas with a flurry of blows. Referee Mushy Callahan then stepped in to mercifully stop the slaughter at 2:49 of the round.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Yankees Near To Clinching League Flag By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The mighty New York Yankees may spring the trap on the Chicago White Sox by sundown today but it appears it'll be a case of slow strangulation before the Milwaukee Braves choke off the St Louis Cardinals’ *last hopes. The stage was set for the final act of the American League pennant race Friday night when the Yankees downed., the Boston Red Sox, 7-4, and went seven gamies in front as a result of the Cleveland Indians* 3-2 triumph over the White Sox. That reduced the Yankees’ magic number to two—and it will come up today if the Yankees beat the Red Sox again and the White Sox lose one game of their double-header with# the Indians. The Braves set the Cardinals up for the kill with a 9-3 romp over the Chicago Cubs in an afternoon game but the Redbirds refused to become dead birds by rallying to beat the Cincinnati Redlegs, 7-5, in a Id-inning night game decided by Joe Cunningham's two- run homer. That left the Braves' lead at four games and their magic number at five—with eight games left for each team. Williams Pinch-Homers Casey Stengel drew closer to his eighth pennant in nine years when the Yankees built up an early 7-0 lead and then staved off a fourrun ninth-inning rally marked by a tremendous pinch-hit homer by Ted Williams The Red Sox added three runs, and kayoed Whitey Ford before Bob Grim came out of the bullpen to restore order. Ford pitched two- hit ball and struck out eight through the first eight innings. Yogi Berra hammered a three-run homer for the big blow in the Yankees’ nine-hit attack which brought Ford his Uth victory compared to four defeats. The White Sox’ loss was a heartbreaker. Dick Donovan carried a 2-1 lead into the ninth as a result of his own homer and one by batterymate Earl Battey only to have the Indians rally for two runs. The Braves unleashed a 14-hit attack that enabled Warren Spahn to becofne the majors’ first 20game winner of the year although he needed relief aid from Don McMahon, the fireballing rookie relief specialist. Cards Need Rally Cunningham, adeadly pinchhitter all season, entered the St Louis lineup as an unsuccessful pinch-swinger in the eighth and remained in the game ,to deliver the homer that kept the Cards alive. The blow, which followed a walk to Wally Moon, came atfer the Cardinals rallied from an early 4-1 deficit to tie the score with single runs in the seventh and ninth innings. Stan Musial singled home the seventh - inning run and 42-year-old Walker Cooper singled home the tieing tally in the ninth. Al Pilarcik doubled home a run in the eighth inning to give the Baltimore Orioles a 1-0 victory: over the Washington Senators and Stan Lopata’s pinch - hit sacrifice fly climaxed a two-run ninth - inning rally that brought the Philadelphia Phillies a 3-2 decision over the Brooklyn Dodgers in the only other games. Cowrie Johnson beat Truman Clevenger ,in the Baltimore - Washington pitching duel while rookie Dick Farrell scored his 10th triumph for the Phillies. The Dodgers had been eliminated from the permant race when the Braves won their afternoon game with the Cubs

There was one small consolation for the "Yankee haters of America.” Williams’ hit raised his average to .379 and he now leads Yankee star Mickey Mantle by 13 points in their batting race. In short. Mantle has about as much chance in his race as the White Sox do in theirs. City Golf Playoff Here Sunday Noon The playoff for the city golf championship will start at noon Sunday between Paul Schmidt, a student at Indiana University, and Bob McClenahan, Luke Majorki, Decatur golf club pro, said today. Schmidt played his rounds early so that he could leave for enrollment at the university, and posted a 308 for 72 boles. McClenahan shot the only sub-par round of the tournament, a 71 for 18 holes, to tie Schmidt. McClenahan needed, a birdie four on the 72nd hole to force the playoff. Arrangements also have been two players to complete the foursome. They include John Bauman, who finished third at 309, and John Hammond, who tied for fourth at 317. Fine golf is expected Sunday afternoon at the event, and all those interested in golf are invited to follow the foursome. Entries for the A.B.C. tournament scheduled September 29 will close Tuesday. September 24, Majorki added. St. Paul Defeats Denver Last Night By UNITED PRESS Denver, needing just one game to win the best of seven series, drove toddy to wrap up the American Association playoffs on its home grounds. The Bears suffered a 7-6 defeat Friday night at the hands of the St. Paul Saints in St. Paul. The Saints jumped to a four-run lead in the first inning, and the score stayed at 4-0 until the fourth. Denver came back with two in the fourth, three in the fifth and one in the sixth to take the lead. But the Saints rallied for two runs, and the winning tally came in on Norm Lacker’s double in the bottom of the seventh. Battle 18 Innings MIAMI (UP) — The Buffalo Bisons and the Miami Marlins may be a little sleepy - eyed tonight when they resume their final series in the International League playoffs, — ... Th teams struggled through 18 innings Friday night before the Marlins gained a 3-2 victory—their first in the best-of-seven series. Buffalo won the first two games The marathon game finally ended at 1 a.m. when relief pitcher Glenn Cox of the Bisons walked Frank Herrera with the bases loaded. forcing in winning pitcher Wnidy McCall with the winning run.

50-Yard Line Flashes By JACK HELLER Win, lose or draw, last night’s game was one of the finest ever played by a Decatur high school football team. The boys deserve a lot of credit for the magnificent battle they put up against a really tough and big Garrett team. The Garrett line averaged 187 pounds. Decatyr’s line averaged 166 pounds —the jackets spotted them 21 pounds per man and still played them off their feet. The Garrett line wasn’t fat either, they were boys who could move and hit hard. It was just an example that desire and heart can do more on a football field than size. There was one play late in the game that still has the Decatur fans wondering. Larry Moses went downfield for ,a pass—Decatur was seven points behind with less than two minutes to play—the Jacket passes had been clicking pretty good all evening—it was obvious that the play would be a long pass to try to pull the game out of tha fire—as the ball was thrown. Moses and a Garret defender went down in a heap, pnd the ball fell with nobody’ around to touch it. There was no official ruling on the play. After the game, the officials stated that it was a shame, but nobody had seen whether or not it was interference. They stated that it could have been interference on Moses. Naturally, with a minute and a half to play, after playing his heart out for 46 minutes instead of trying to win a ball game, Moses was trying to trip a Garrett player instead of trying for a touchdown —particularly, just as the ball was thrown, nuts! It was also pointed out to the officials that people have been sent to tho electric chair on circumstantial evidence—why not a football penalty on the same grounds. They repeated that it was a shame that nobody had seen the play. It has been around the conference for a long time that officials take it easy on a Garrett team in Garrett, fearing the wrath of the crowd. One play like the one last night doesn’t make any statements like that true, particularly with the officials involved—they are good officials and nice gentlemen along with it, and nobody would ever doubt their integrity or sportsmanship—but one play like the one last night doesn’t throw any cold water on the rumor, however untrue it may be. Next Friday it will be the Portland Panthers at Portland. Portland beat Hartford City last night, and has a good team this year. The Jackets have been looking stronger each game. The line was great on both offense and defense last night. They opened big holes in the toughest line they’ll play against this year. Bob Shraluka gave the Jackets some of the finest fullback powi’er running last night since the I Kenny Grant era. Big Bob was really driving, with his knees high much to the regret of one Garrett tackler who met a Shraluka knee with his head —he was carried off the field. Along with Moses. Ballard and Gay to run with, and Banks and Reidenbach at quarter,

the Jackets backfield is shaping up. | The team as whole looks like a real good one now, and could get even better. There wasn’t a Decatur fan who could be anything but proud of the Jackets last night. The Only thing about looking good—it’ll be expected from now on. These boys are capable of great football —and it should be a good season, from now OR. ’J"' Several Grid Games Postponed By Rain INDIANAPOLIS W — At least half a dozen major Indiana high school football games were postponed Friday night because of heavy rain.
