Yellow Jackets Wallop Columbia City Eagles By 26-8 Score Friday
The Decatur Yellow Jackets, •parked by a 20-point third quarter, clobbered the Columbia City Eagles at Worthman field by a 26-8 score Friday night. Larry Moses crossed the Eagle goal line three times for touchdowns, and added an extra point for 19 points. The game featured a little of everything in the way of the bizarre, and the Jackets’ timing was suffering noticeably from their two week lay-off. The timing was good enough at times though, as Decatur threatened several times and pushed the Eagles backward on both offense and defense. The only Columbia City scores were the result of Decatur lapses, as the Eagles picked up a fourth quarter touchdown and a safety. Decatur lost little time taking control of the game. The Jackets kicked to Columbia City to open the game, and the ball was downed on the Eagles 17. Columbia City moved for one first down to their own 28, but on the fourth play of the game, Jack Macklin grabbed a loose ball, and Decatur took over on the Eagle’s 32. Nine plays and two first downs later, Moses popped three yards through the line, and the Jackets led, 6-0. The rest of the first half was one of frustrated Jacket drives, as Decatur drove to the Columbia City 20, 15 and 6 yard lines, only to be frustrated. The first surge was set up when linebacker John Hebble intercepted an Eagle aerial on the Columbia City 39. The next was the result of an Eagle punt, and the final drive was started when Jim Reidenbach fell on a Columbia City fumble on the Decatur 29. Twc plays failed to gain, then Bob Banks threw a pass to Moses, who was finally pushed out of bounds on the Eagles 13, as the play cov-

ered 58 yards. Three plays later, Ed Miller, who played a great game for the Eagles, grabbed a Decatur pass on his own two and got all tbe way to tho Jackets 38 before Banks hauled him down. The next play was a 35-yard pass from Guisinger to Moore to the Decatur three, but time ran out before the Eagles could score. In the third quarter, Decatur went wild. Tim Murphy returned a short Columbia City kickoff to the Eagles 49. Seven plays later, Moses went seven yards through the line for the touchdown. Moses added the PAT on a plunge, and Decatur led, 13-0. It took only five plays for the Jackets to score again. Aft er taking the ball on the kickoff, the Eagles had a fourth down and 18 situation on their 27, and wisely ' decided to punt. The kicker got such a rush, that he was forced to hurry his punt, and got off a very ’ short boot. As everybody else waited for the ball to roll dead, Ty Ballard scooped it up and ran to the Cqlumbia City four, before be- ' ing pushed out of bounds. On the next play, Ballard went over for a touchdown. The try for extra point failed, and the Jackets led. 19-0. Decatur held the Eagles with the kickoff again, and they were forced to punt after three plays. The kick carried to the Jacket 17, and things started to roll. Bob Shraluka took i Banks pass for a first down on the Decatur 28. Two plays gained seven, but an illegal motion penalty made it third and six from the Tacket 31. Banks then faded to pass, and hit Moses in the open with a perfect shot. "Mo” took the ball on the dead run, and finished out the 69-yard play by crossing the Eagle goal line. Ty Ballard circled left end for the extra point, md Decatur led, 26-0. Columbia City got its touchdown from a lucky bounce and some 'juick thinking. The Eagles were held with the kickoff, and forced to punt. Moses couldn’t get the ball on the fly. so elected to let it •oil dead. As he turned to walk iway from the bouncing ball, it took a wild hop and hit his leg Ed Miller was downfield to tackle Moses, and when the ball touch Moses, and became a free ball, he I scooped it up and ran 20 yards untouched for the TD. The try for extra point failed, and Decatur reld a 26-6 lead. The rest of the game was a bat‘le of substitutes. On the final play the game, Jim Reidenbach stepped into the Decatur end zone to punt. A bad center pass bounced iway from Reidenbach, and as he - picked it up to run, he was hit by the whole Columbia City line. It was good for a safety and two ooints, and the game ended 26-8. The Jackets record for the season now stands at three wins and five losses, and their NEIC record is two wins and three losses. The Jackets will wind up the season Wednesday, October 23, as they host the Kendallville Comets in the game that will decide the conference championship. Kendallville currently leads the conference with a 4-1 record. If the Comets can win or tie Wednesday, they get the championship, but if the Jackets win, Concordia will back into the title, as the Cadets have finished their season with a 3-1-1 record. Pos.

Rory Calhoun Wins Unanimous Decision NEW YORK (UP) — Middleweight contender Rory Calhoun, who won a lopsided decision over Rocky Castellani Friday night, looked to France today for an opponent because no American contender will fight him. *T’ve had to cable Charley Humej of France to see if he’ll fight you,” matchmaker Billy Brown told the White Plains (N.Y.) slugger who had chased veteran Castellani about Madison Square Garden’s ring for 10 rounds and hit him whenever kH could. It was the first ’fight at the Garden in nearly six months and it was a very dull one for the 3,000 fans and the TV spectators because of Rocky’s running and grabbing tactics. It was such an uneven pursuit race that none of the three ring officials gave Atlantic City Rocky more than one round. Judge Tony, Castellano did call it eight for Calhoun, one for Rocky and one even. But both referee Harry Kessler and judge Harold Barnes scored it 9-1, as did the United Press. The annual Fiesta of Santa Fe, N. M., is believed to be the oldest community festival in America. The Fiesta was begun in 1712 by the Spanish governor to commemorate the re-conquer of New Mexico from the Indians in 1692.

Baltimore And Detroit Lions in Pro Feature By UNITED PRESS The Baltimore Colts take the National Football League’s hottest offense and ground defense to Detroit Sunday to put their Western Division lead on the line against the Lions in the day’s top professional game. Baltimore has swept its first three starts but Detroit (2-1) is only a game behind and can tie the Colts for first place by winning. The Colts, winners of only five of 31 road games in the NFL, are favored by just one point although they opened thte campaign with a 34-14 victory over the Lions at Baltimore. The San Francisco Forty-Niners, tied with Detroit for second in the Western race, are favored by a half-point against the Green Bay Packers (1-2) at Milwaukee. The key games in the Eastern Division will be played at Philadelphia and New York. The Cleveland Browns are seven - point choices to boost their perfect record to a 4-0 by defeating the Eagles (0-3) at Philadelphia. The Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers (both 2-1) meet at Yankee Stadium with New York favored by seven points. In Sunday’s other games, the Chicago Bears (0-3) are four-point favorites to beat the Los Angeles Rams (1-2) at Wrigley Field, and the Redskins (1-2) are six-point choices against the Chicago Cardinals (1-2) at Washington. 50-Yard Line Flashes By Jack Heller While the team’s timing was a little rusty due to the two week layoff and the flu keeping practices to a minimum, it was stiH pretty fair. It will have to be better than pretty fair Wednesday though, as the Kendallville Comets roll into town looking for a conference championship. The Comets are reported to be small but fast and aggressive. They seem to be going downhill of late with a narrow win over Columbia City and a loss to New Haven in their last two starts. They will be anything but on the way down Wednesday. Decatur has played good enough football on several occasions to beat the Comets, and if they are fired up, could close the season in great fashion with a win. I Another interesting duel Wednesday will be the battle between Larry Moses and Kendallville's Jerry Brown. These two players have been the Outstanding players in the conference this year. Both have good teams to play behind, and boys that will give them the one block that any runner needs. Moses holds the edge in speed, but Brown, at 175, has the advantage in power. A lot of good football players will be on the field for the last time Wednesday night. There would be no better way for Decatur to close out the season than with a win over Kendallville. The Comets are a good team, and . the Jackets can show their home fans just how good they are by beating a good team. Beer Up, Liquor Down HARTFORD, Conn. — (IP) — The Connecticuit Yankee has turned from hard liquor to beer. The June report of the excise division showed a jump of 310,000 cases of of the State Tax Department beer as corresponding drop in the amount of liquor sold.

INDICATE PROTEST >Coi.tlnued from Page One) the extremely “boggy” condition along the sides of the road. Sheriff Merle Affolder today issued a warning to all local motorists to be extremely careful on that section of highway. He stated that the berm is so soft and slippery that one wheel off the road immediately throws a vehicle out of control. According to an unofficial report by a local state trooper, pictures have been taken along the highway and a full report of the matter has been forwarded to the state police headquarters, which is expected to file the formal protest. LEHMAN REELECTED (Continued from Page One) Steury, Mrs. Walter Thlemb, John Lehman, Fred Fuhur. Silvan Sprunger, Paul Shoemaker, Mrs. William Becker, Mrs. Fred Blum, Mrs. Dick Field, D. D. Thieme, Diane Gerber, Floyd Clouse, Phillip Gerber, Walter Engle, and Roger Schaeff. Glenn Sampler, editor of Hoosier Farmer, brought greetings to the group from the national Farm Bureau office. He compared the Farm Bureau to a steam locomotive moving down the track at 85 miles an hour safely. He pointed out that the two front wheels of the Farm Bureau train were membership and leadership, and that the organization cannot function when they are not doing their part.

Queen Attends First American Foolball Game ' ?* By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Queen Elizabeth will get a royal look-at American football by witnessing the Maryland-North Carolina game today while the rest of the nation’s fans probably will have their eyes peeled on the nationally-televised game between Illinois and Minnesota. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, more accustomedto watching rugby, cricket and polo, will be among the spectators at College Park, Md., where North Carolina's surprising Tat Heels are seven-point favorites over once-mighty Maryland. TV fans will have an opportunity to watch Minnesota’s slick quarterbacks, Bobby Cox and Dick Larson, in operation against Illinois. The Gophers ranked third in the nation, have registered three victories already and are 13point favorites to -ack up number four. Although the fie has caused cancellation of numerous games throughout all sections of the country, virtually all of the socalled “big" games will go on as scheduled. Purdue Has Flu Michigan State, the national leader in total offense and the team ranked first by the Press Board of Coaches, plays host to a Purdue team that has four members sidelined by the flu. Michigan State is a solid 21-point choice. Oklahoma, which dropped to second place in the national rankings, last week, is gunning for its 44th straight victory against Kansas and the Sooners are an overwhelming 34-point choice. At least two bowl berths could be affected in a pair of other games on tap for today. Washington State is almost a cinch to represent the Pacific Coast Conference in the Rose Bowl if it can beat Oregon in an "even money” game. Washington State hasn't visited the Rose Bowl in 26 years and this may be the best chance the Cougars will get in a long time, since only they, Oregon, Stanford and California are eligible for a bowl trip this season. Tech Hopes To Recoup Another “pick-’em” game which could produce a Sugar or Cotton Bowl team is the one in which unbeaten Auburn, the nation’s best defensive team, meets Georgia Tech. The Engineers are hoping to bounce back from a loss at the hands of Louisiana State last week. lowa and Wisconsin put their undefeated records on the line against one another with the Hawkeyes o one touchdown favorite, while in two other Big Ten battles, Michigan was favored by 13 points over Northwestern, and Ohio State was picked by 28 points over Indiana. Oregon State was an eight-point choice over UCLA in a West Coast feature, while in the big Southwest clash, Texas A&M was quoted a 10-point favorite over Texas Christian. Army By One Notre Dame has an off-day today but the team it beat last week, Army, is rated a one-point favorite over Pittsburgh. Penn State was the choice over Vanderbilt and Syracuse the pick over Nebraska in the two major intersectional games. Other Choices EAST—YaIe over Cornell, Pennsylvania over Brown, Harvard over Columbia, Rutgers over Lehigh, Holy Cross over Dartmouth, Boston College over Villanova. MlDWEST—Missouri over lowa. State, Colorado over Kansas State, Cincinnati over Marquette, Houston over Oklahoma State, Tulsa over North Texas State, Detroit over Xavier (Ohio). SOUTH— Louisiana State over Kentucky, Navy over Georgia, Tennessee over Alabama, Florida over Mississippi State, Duke over Wake Forest, William and Mary over Virginia Military. SOUTHWEST — Arkansas over Texas, Baylor over Texas Tech, Rice over Southern Methodist. FAR WEST — Stanford over Washington,. Idaho over College of Pacific, New Mexico over Arizona, Utah over Denver, Utah State over Montana, Wyoming over Brighhm Young, California-South-ern California, "even money.” The big week end started Friday night with seventh - ranked North Carolina State and twicebeaten Miami, Fla., playing a scoreless tie; West Virginia beating George Washington, 34-14, for its 23rd straight victory in the
Southern Conference and Mississippi slaughtering Tulane, 50-0, in the major games. North Carolina State, a six-point underdog, stopped Miami on the nine-yard line in the closing minutes? to' cap a bruising defensive struggle.
