Yellow Jackets Wallop Auburn Red Devils By 73 To 52 Score Friday

Coach Paul Bevelhimer turned the boys loose last night, and they ran wild. For the first time this season, Decatur used the fast break all the way and wound up manhandling the Auburn Red Devils, 73-52, before a happy crowd at the Decatur gym. Dave Eichenauer and Bob Shraluka came up with a great night of rebounding as they controlled both backboards in the first half and got the ball started down the floor fast. Bab Banks, who dropped in 15 points in the first half, led -the team down the floor and did some fine shooting from the outside when the fast break failed to materialize. The first five minutes of the ball game was the only close part of the contest. Auburn took its only lead of the game at 241, but Banks* hit three points to give the Jackets a lead they never lost. With three minutes to play, Decatur had a IQ-6 lead, and then things started to click. The Jackets picked up 10 straight points while holding t the Red Devils scoreless and took a 20-6 first quarter lead. While the fast break was proving a boon to the Jackets offense, a five man-to-rnan defense contributed greatly to the margin. Auburn wasn’t missing a lot of shots, they just weren't getting many shots. "Die Decatur team stuck like glue, and on several occasions, the Red Devils had the ball stolen before they had a chance at a shot. The second period was more of the first. Auburn’s offense picked up a little momentum, but Decatur kept rolling along to increase its margin and more than double the score at halfitme with a 45-20 lead. The last half merely made the game official. Bevelhimer cleared his bench early, and the rest of the team took up where the starters left- off. Auburn outscored the Jackets 32-28 in the two final quarters, but never threatened. All but one of the Jackets broke Into the scoring column as they rolled to their final 73-52 margin. Banks added four points in the last half to' lead Decatur with 19. Shraluka hit 13 and Eichenauer came up with 10. Blevins equaled Banks’ 19 and George helped out with 17, but these two had little help. Decatur’s record for the season now stands at 8-5. The Jackets next game will be Friday, January 24, against a hot Kendallville team on the Comets floor.
