YEULAM ILCKEK The Decatur Yellow Jackets finished strong in the last half to end up the season Friday with a 58-55 victory over file Butler Windmills on the Butler floor. The victory enabled the Jackets to end the season with a good 11-9 record. The Windmills used a great first quarter to hold the lead for three periods, but they cracked under the pressure of a Decatur pressing defense. Butler was hitting from all over in the first quarter, and Jumped off to a quick lead. Bob Shraluka converted a three-point play to pull the Jackets into a momentary tie, but the Windmills spurted and held an 18-8 lead at one point. They still had an eight-point, 21-13 margin at the end of the period. ..., ! The' Jackets started to whittle down the lead ui the second quarter. Every starter scored for Decatur, and Dave Eichenauer and Shraluka controlled both backboards to limit the Windmills to one shot at a time. The first half ended with Butler leading, 32-28. Dave Eichenauer made the difference in the third stanza. The slim senior forward did a terrific job of rebounding at both ends ofj the floor. He went high in the air i time after time under the Butler basket to bring in the ball and start the Jackets off on a fast break, Decatur continued to play good ball, and trailed by only one point, 4544, at the end of three. Shraluka wasted little time getting the lead for Decatur. He dropped in a field goal in the first five seconds of the last quarter, and the Jackets had a lead they never lost. Butler managed to tie the count at 4646, but the Decatur press forced the Windmills to hurry their shots and pass wild. Eichenauer, Shraluka and Moses hit in succession to boost Decatur to a six-point, 5246 lead. The Jackets managed to hold their lead and outlast a Butler free-throw rally, to win 58-55. Both teams had very accurate nights from the field, as the local team hit 25 of 58 for a very good 43% and Butler hit a respectable 20 of 58 for 34%. Shraluka led the balanced Decatur scoring with 17 points, May had 12, and Banks added 11. “Butch’* Wlecht garnered scoring honors, as the driving guard tallied 22 points. He had little support though, as Walter was the only other* Butler player in double figures, with 10.

COMMODORES What’s that old saying “a poor dress rehearsal means a great opening night?” If that adage holds true, the Decatur Commodores should wow ’em in the sectional, tourney opener Wednesday night. For the Commodores could do very little sight Friday night, and most things wrqng, as they closed thei! season with a 60-52 defeat at the hands of the Harlan Hawks at the Decatur gym. The Allen county team scored the first three points of the ball game, with Dale Hake hitting a —field goal for the Commodores after nearly two minutes of play. The Hawks then scored 13 points in a row for a big 16-2 lead and the Commodores had had it. Hake finally hit again with 1:30 to go in the first period and Torn Meyer added two free throws as Harlan took the first breather with a 21-6 bulge. The Decatur lads did make the game look a little more respectable in the second quarter, outscoring the visitors, 16-11, but the Hawks went to the dressing room at the half with a 33-22 margin. Harlan added 20 points to its total while the Commodores were scoring only eight, and the Hawks enjoyed a 53-30 bulge going into the final eight minutes of play. The Commodores, however, refused to quit, and when they moved to within 12 points at 55-43 with 2:50 to go. the Hawks sent their regulars back into. the ball game. j Each team had thre players in double figures. Glen Wilder scored 15 points, Phil Reed 12 and Tom Meyer 11 for the Commodores. For Harlan, Mike Swing had 15, Dick Harris 14 and Jon Closson 10. The Commodores had a miserable night at the free throw line, converting only 20 of 42 opportunities, while the Hawks made good on 18 of 28 chances. There were 46 fouls called during the ragged tilt, 25 on Harlan and 21 on the Commodores. The defeat left the Commodores with a 14-7 record for the season.

Aaron Signs New Contract With Braves » By JOE SARGIS i United Press Sports Writer Quiet Henry Aaron, one of the . biggest fish in the Milwaukee I pond, was landed by the Braves today when the National League’s , Most Valuable Player agreed to , terms. The slender outfielder, who lets his bat do all his talking for him, ■ settled 1958 contract terms with Milwaukee General Manager John ' Quinn Friday night in a brief telephone call from Jacksonville, ' Fla. Quinn also nailed catcher Del i Crandall in a telephone call to Fullerton, Calif. Aaron, who red the ML in hom- ' era with 44 in 1957, is believed to I have consented to terms calling , for a 1958 salary of $40,060. Aaron also batted in 132 runs last season and had a -322 biting avenge- His home run in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals clinched the flag for the Braves and Aaron went on to spark his club to the world championship in the World Series with the New York Yankees. 13 To Sign The Braves still have 13 players to sign with the official opening of spring training only a week away. Among the unsigned are World Series hero Lew Burdette, who beat the Yankees three times, star second baseman Red Schoendienst and home run slugger Eddie Mathews. All three are holding out for big raises after banner seasons. Schoendienst and Mathews are believed to have earned $35,000 each last season, while Burdette’s salary is estimated at $20,000. Meanwhile, star Jest handers Whitey Ford and Johnny Antonelli, both of whom slipped a couple of notches last year, also agreed to terms. Ford, who leads all active major league pitchers in winning percentage and earned run average, consented to the same salary he got last season after a huddle with New York Yankee player director Lee MacPhail at St. Petersburg, Fla. Phoned Acceptance Antonelli, who won only 12 games and lost 18 last season, telephoned his acceptance to SanFrancisco Giant Vice -President Chub Feeney from his home in Rochester, N.Y. The tall left hander, the Giants' top pitcher since 1954 when he led the club to the NL pennant and the world championship, also signed for the same salary he got last year, around $25,000. MacPhail got together with pitcher Bob Grim and star outfielder Mickey Mantle in an effort to line them up before March 1, but nothing came of the meetings- The Yankees still have nine players outside the fold. Washington Senator President Calvin Griffith, who couldn't get anywhere in his talks with unsigned star Roy Sievers, changed his tack with veiled hints of a possible trade. But Sievers, who led the American League in home runs and runs batted in last season, remained adamant in his bid for a 100 per cent raise over the $19,000 he got in 1957. Griffith has offered him $30,000. Bowling Scores Central Boya League . Pts.
