Yellow Jackets Defeat Bluffton Tigers Friday Night By 27 To 13 Score

A determined team of Decatur Yellow Jackets, led by Larry Moses on offense, and 11 hardtackling defensive players, clobbered the Bluffton Tigers at Worthman field Friday night 2713, for Decatur’s first football win over Bluffton since 1949. Moses scored 21 of Decatur’s points with three touchdowns and three extra points, and after spotting Bluffton a TD in the JKrst three minutes of play, the defense tightening up to hold the Tigers scoreless until late in the game. Counting a 60-yard pass interception return and three passes caught, Moses gained an amazing 224 yards for Decatur. Ty Ballard, who was reported still suffering from the Ou, showed no ill effects last night as he gained 56 yards in eight carries. The Jackets led in first downs by a nine to seven margin.

Decatur took the Bluffton kickoff on its own 29, and the big game of the year for both the age-old rivals was underway. The Jackets made eight yards in two plays, but an incomplete pass called for a punt. On the attempted punt. Bluffton's Bill Heller shot through the line and grabbed a Jacket fumble on the Decatur 30. Seven plays later Heller piled over right tackle for the two yards for a touchdown. The try for extra point was stopped, and the Tigers led 6-0, with only three mniutes gone in the first period. The next 15 minutes were spent in Decatur drives and Bluffton punts, as the Jackets drove to the Tiger 20 in one surge, and to their 15 on another, 'only to lose the ball on downs. About half way through the second quarter, Tim Murphy set up the first Decatur score by recovering a fumble by his ex-teammates on the Bluffton 48. Ballard went for four and Moses scooted for 20 to the Tiger 24. Ballard got nine more to the 15, and then sophomore Jim Gay bolted off right tackle, into the clear and carried the two Bluffton safety men over the goal line with him for the touchdown. ‘-Moses added the extta point on a plunge, and Decatur took the lead for good at 7-6:. The Jackets held the Tigers for the last fWo"lrhinutes, and took the one-point lead with them at half time. Decatur lost little time increasing its margin. Bluffton returned the second half kick to its own 29. On the first play, Chuck May, defensive halfback, grabbed the ball away from Heller on an end run and carried it back to the Bluffton 10-yard line before he could be brought down. Three plays later, Moses went four yards through the line so touchdown. He added the extra point on a plunge, and Decatur led, 14-6. The rest of the third period was an exchange of the ball. The Tigers couldn’t get past the 50 yard line, as the Jacket forward wall played great defensive ball. Late in the third quarter, Dave Eichenauer intercepted a Bluffton pas and returned it to the Blufftoh 33. Decatur moved to the Bluffton 17, but

couldn't punch it over. The Jackets took over the ball on the Bluffton 43 early in the final quarter, and proceeded to break the game wide open. Four plays gave Decatur a first down on the Bluffton 31. A pass failed to connect, and then Moses took the snap from center on a spread formation play, shot through the middle, cut back to the left sideline, picked up a key block, and raced untouched into the end zone? He added his third PAT on another plunge, and Decatur led 21-6. with nine minutes to play. Decatur and Moses weren’t done yet. The Tigers took the Jacket kick and started to move. They rolled for two first' downs, out to their own 46. Two plays later, Larry intercepted a Tiger pass on the Jacket 40, picked up some moA key Mockers, and outran the last three Bluffton defenders for a 60-yard touchdown. The try for extra point failed, and Decatur led, 27-6, with about four minutes to play. Bluffton scored its final touchdown against the Jacket reserves, and that one was a real weird play. One play after the kickoff, with the ball on their own 35, Bob Henry faded back to pass. He hit Tom Tangeman on the midfield stripe, and the big end took off. He was caught on Decatur's 20-yard line and dumped so hard that he fumbled. Harold Creed caught the ball on the first bounce and never lost stride as he scooted over for the touchdown. Henry added’ -1 the PAT from placement, and Decatur had the game sewed up/ 27-13. .' The Jackets' record for the : season is now two wins and five, losses. Their conference record is one win and three losses. The 1 next opponents for Decatur will be a conference game against : the Columbia City Eagles at Worthman field Friday, Oct. 18.

50-Yard Line Flashes By JACK HELLER There is a lot that could be said (or every player last night, but the nicest thing about the game was the fact that it was a team victory. Os course, Larry Moses gets and deserves a lot of credit for his great display at running, but he got a lot of good blocking. The team reacted the way a good football team has to. in order to take advantage of the breaks. One block at the right time has won a lot of games, and it did last night. “Mo” got the block he needed off the spread play, and got a couple of good ones on his pass interception. The boys were just out on the field to win a ball game, and they did it in great style. Decatur’s tackling was about the sharpest it’s ever been. Ted Hutker got some real “crackers.” Fred Locke, senior. guard, played a whale of a game on offense and defense. He threw several key blocks on end runs, and did a good job as outside linebacker. Clarehce May and Dave Eichenauer, the two defensive halfbacks, cajne through in the clutch. “Ike” intercepted one Tiger pass and knocked down several others, plus mqay tackles. "Willie” May broke the Tiger spirit am the first play of the second half when he stole the ball from the Bluftfon runner and went clear to the 10-yard line. It would be interesting to know the thoughts of the Bluffton center. After getting mauled play after play by big John Shaffer, who did another splendid job on defense, be finally got rid of the big boy when John was taken out near the end of the game. Who did he see in Shaffer’s place but Dick Lemming, another 275-pounder, who continued to hit him just as hard and often as Shaffer had. Jim Reidenbach and Larry Ritter were the only players who couldn’t make the game due to the flu. Some of the boys were having a hard time getting their breath due to remains from colds and the flu, but they didn’t let it affect their football playing. Um Murphy was probably the happiest player on the field after the game. Big "Murph” played for the Tigers last year, and really wanted to win last night’s game. Sophomore Jim Gay was another mighty happy boy after the game. Jim scored his first varsity touchdown in the second quarter, and he had to go the last five yards the hard way—with two tacklers holding onto him. c The Jackets are really working as a team now. Ty Ballard hit the Bluffton right end a couple of times hard enough to discourage shybody. When the boys can get in and block and tackle like they did last night, they're going to give any team a real fight. It the team will keep it up, they can stffl ; have a good season and a good cbhference record. They set the pattern last night with a great teani effort —all they have to do is keep it up for two more games. Three Pro Foolball , ... j. . -v-r » • « • " Contests On Tonight . ’ By EABL WRIGHT i United Press Sports Writer W The New York Giants, Chicagrf Bears and Cleveland Browns art favored to win the National Football League’s only 1?57 night games Saturday although they will be playing on the road.
