Yellow Jackets Lose To Bluffton Tigers Tuesday Night By 80 To 60 Score

A jinx died Tuesday night when the Decatur ‘Yellow Jackets lost to the Bluffton Tigers on the Bluffton floor by a 80-60 score. It was the first time a varsity Decatur team had lost to Bluffton on the new Bluffton gym since Decatur celebrated the opening beating the Tigers in the first game played there in the fall of 1955. Bluffton was primed and ready last night, and made their first victory over Decatur on their home floor a decisive one. The Jackets stayed close for the five •minutes, from then on, with the tall Tigers controlling ’the backboards, it was all Bluffton. The game see-sawed for the first five minutes. Each team held the lead three times, with the Jackets on top for the last time at 9-8. Then the Tiger turned it on, and built up a 17-12 first quarter margin. The margin increased in the second period, with the Tigers’ tall trio of Tangeman, Milholland and Bowman controlling things, the Tigers outscored Decatur 22-13 to hold a 39-25 halftime lead. Typical halftime comment w from Bluffton was "we’ve had big leads on Decatur before and lost,” but last night, a good Tiger team wasn't to be denied — jinx or no. A tight defense kept the hustling Jackets from getting many good shots, and Bluffton had a 20 point lead at the end of three quarters, 56-36: Both teams dropped in 24 points to the final period to' make the final tally 80-60. Tom Tangeman of the Tigers led all scorers with 25 points. He had able assistance as Bowman collected 17, 'Leonard 16 and Milholland 14. “Willie” May came off the bench to spark Decatur with 14 points. Larry Moses hit 13 and Bob Shraluka 10. The Jackets’ record for the sesson is n0w.500, with eight wins and as many defeats.

Resumes Search For Beast At Booneville Beast Is Reported Seen Again Tuesday BOONVILLE (IP) — Warrick County authorities Tuesday resumed their search for a “pan-ther-like beast" which has been terrorizing farm communities in this area for the past few weeks. The latest hunt was touched off when Mrs. Walter Brink reported [ she saw the animal 3 ’ near her Paradise farm late Tuesday. The first organized search for. the. beast was held last Saturday on the basis of an earlier sighting jby Mrs. Brink. At that time, the i pbs.se returned , from the , hunt ■ without results. - Sheriff Robert Shelton and state conservationist Paul Sanders led the search Tuesday. They said a pack of dogs struck a trail through the woods and found ‘fresh cat tracks” in mud leading up a gullcy. They said a posse -of “about 50 to 75* men" will conduct a “big drive” Saturday morning in an effort to drive the animal frqjß hiding. The animal, described as a “cat-like beast” which fits the description of a “black panther.” has been blamed for the disappearance of chickens and livestock in this area. It has been sighted at least a half dozen .time?.- ■ - Bowling Scores Women’s League W L Pts.

CAMPY’S WIFE AT SIDE— Dry eyed and seeking to muster a brave smile, Mrs. Roy Campanella, wife of the Los Angeles Dodgers star 'catcher, arrives at Community Hospital in Glen Cove, N. Y., to be with her critically injured husband. Campy’s ?ar overturned and struck a lightpost, pinning him in the wreckage and fracturing two vertebrae in his neck which paralyzed him. More than an hour of exploratory surgery relieved the spinal pressure, but left his future in doubt. With Mrs. Campanella is Matt Burns of the Dodgers’ office. |

(UP'—Roy , Canjpanella is on the road back. , That was the substance of a ■ dramatic bulletin from the Strick- ( en Los Angeles Dodger catcher’s ■ j bedside at Glen Cove Community i Hospital today less than 21 hours . after the 36-year old baseball 1 1 great escaped death by an inch I ( in an automobile accident. —"Campanella’s condition ( is somewhat better and the over->, all picture fairly encouraging,”,] the hospital bulletin said early , this morning- “His paralysis is . unchanged but it could not be ex- | pectcd to improve as yet.” j The bulletin, issued by Dr. Robert W. Sengstaken, the neurological physician who operated more i than four hours on Campanella Tuesday morning, and hospital administrator Harry Gifford, said »he stricken patient "remains on the - danger list."

ther bulletins on Campanella’s condition will be issued on a two-a-day basis. Whether Campanella, who probably is nearer 40 than his 36-year "baseball age,” ever will be able to resume his baseball career remained highly doubtful. Doctors said it was “possible” he might play again but Dr. Sengstaken qualified the statement late Tuesday. “Assuming a complete recovery, he could not play ball before a year," Dr. Sengstaken said. "He’s foolish if he tries to continue to play baseball, but he’s not my patient and I’m not going to tell him what to do ” Dr. Sengstaken disclosed that the fifth and sixth vertebrae of Campanell’s spinal column were "fractured and dislocated" at about the neckline and said the catcher would have "died instantly” had the injury been an inch higher. He said Campanella’s short, bull-like neck played a key part in his escape from a fatal injuryt The doctor said Campanella later will be required to wear a "four poster brace" on his neck with a cup under the chin. He ‘ said no further were planned “in the F immediate future but conceded “there might have to be another one later on.” !
