Yellow Jackets Lose To Fort Wayne Central By 39-23 Score Saturday

Fort Wayne Central’s Tigers, puzzled by slowdown tactics of the Decatur Yellow Jackets, finally broke loose in the final quarter Saturday night to defeat the Jackets, 39-23, at the Decatur gym. It was Central’s 15th victory in 17 starts this season, and brought Decatur’s record to an even .500 with nine triumphs and as many defeats. The Jackets drew first, blood when Larry Moses hit his first of four fielders after 45 seconds of play had elapsed. Ben Hawkins hit a free throw for Central, bat the Jackets, working the ball carefully, took a 7-1 lead on two-point-ers by Moses and Dave Eichenauer, and the latter’s free throw. Steve Hatch hit Central’s second free throw at the 3:40 mark, but the Tigers went scoreless from the field until Hawkins hit with one minute .to go. Johnny Kelso, Fort Wayne’s leading scorer, hit his only field goal of the game in the closing seconds to leave Decatur on top at the end of the period 11-7. The Tiger finally worked into a 15-15 tie on Norm Beer’s two- ' pointer with 2:40 to play in the second quarter. A pair of foul tosses by Hatch and one by T. C. Williams sent to the dressing room with an 18-15 advantage. The third was a mighty wierd affair. Central obtained the opening top, went down for a shot but — missed, and the Jackets regained the rebound. The Jackets then Started just playing catch, and Central refused to come out after : the ball. Finally, with 2:12 to go in the period, Moses was fouled and dropped in the charity toss, which proved to be the only point of the entire eight minutes. Kelso had a , free throw at 2:07 when Moses I committed his fourth personal, but I the Tiger center missed the con- ’ version and Decatur held on the ! rest of the quarter, with Central; leading, 18-16. But the fourth quarter was a dis- . ferent story. Beer and Eichenauer traded fielders but the Tigers ; opened a five-point gap at 23-18 ! on Hawkins’ first field goal of an 11-point burst. The Tigers practi-I ally sewed up the ball game when i Hawkins . converted on a three- I point play after three minutes, I — hitting the field goal on a driving layup and adding the free throw ■ ' , when Moses committed his fifth foul. The Tigers didn't particularly miss Kelso, who suffered a leg ! injury on the opening tip of the t final period and didn’t return to j the game.-- ,1 Hawkins was just about the I whole offensive show, the tall for-i ward pouring in 19 points, 11 in j the final period. No Jacket hit for double figures, with Moses and i Eichenauer leading with nine f points each. ? »■ The Yellow Jackets will wind up their home season Friday night, entertaining the Garrett Railroaders in a Northeastern Indiana conference game at the Decatur gym.
