Yellow Jackets Lose To Garrett Railroaders By 20-7 Score Friday Night

A lifeless team of Decatur' Yellow Jackets» lost their third straight football game of the season to the Garrett Railroaders at Worthman field Friday night by a 20-7 score. The Jackets did finally come to life in the final period when they convinced themselves they were playing i another high j school football team, instead of some magnificent powerhouse, and j scored without too much trouble. From then on, even the sophomores looked good, but, as usual, it was too late. . The first period 1 was strictly defense. Neither team could muster any kind'of a threat, as the Jackets failed to cross the mid - field stripe, and Garrett could only push to the Decatur 25. Midway through the second period, the Railroaders set the’ stage for their first- score, hs Culler punted a beauty that rolled dead on the Decatur sixyard line. Two Jacket plays lost two yards, so Decatur had to kick Culler ran the punt back to the Decatur 16. and six plays later he passed to Schumaker for a fiveyard touchdown. The try for PAT "failed, and Garrett led.- 6-0. The rest of the half was more defense. The Jackets got as far as the Garrett 38, but the Railroaders held,] to protect their lead. Decatur still thought they were playing the Chicago Bears in the third period. Jim Short. Garrett halfback, took a handoff from Cui- i ler, who received the second half kickoff, and raced 85 yards un- j touched down the right side for a touchdown. Short plunged for the i extra point, and Garrett led, 13-0. \ The Jackets made one first down ] \xvith the following kickoff, and trtoen punted to the Railroaders’ 36. Hefere, Garrett went to work and j eaiXped their only hard touchdown . of t?he game. They traveled to the Jackets three in 13 plays, and Culler srAid over for the score. Helbert Flicked the extra point, and the Railroaders had a 20-0 lead. . Decalin- came to life in the final 1 period. They had to punt the first time theW got the ball, but the | j fired-up line got awake, and threw j Garrett fctr a 17-yard loss, and it \ ( was the Railroaders turn to kick! out. Decatur took the ball (

1 on the Garrett 45, and with comparative ease, against the same players they had been reluctant to tangle with before, scored in 10 plays. Larry Ritter got the touchdown, dragging two Garrett players with him for three yards and the score. Jim Gay leaped for the ; extra point, and Garrett led, 20-7. : The rest of the game was defense again, as Coach Worthman sent in a lot of the sophomores, and the boys gave a good account of themselves. The Jackets’ record for the season is now 0-3, and their conference record is 0-2. Their next opponents will be the unbeaten Portland Panthers in a non-conference battle at Worthman field Friday, September 26. I Pos. Decatur Garrett LE?

Purple Team Wins Over Gold, 6 To 0 The Purple team defeated the Gold team in a junior high intrasquad football game at Worthman field Friday night, 6 to 0. L, Hilyard scored the touchdown for the Purple team on a handoff from Beery in the second quarter. The try for the extra point failed to work, and the Purple team led at the half 6 to 0. The Gold team had a 75 yard run called back due to offensive holding. A beautiful 75-yard run by Martin on an end around play in which he was forced to reverse his field, ran the entire distance for the score, bus was unable to receive credit for it because one of his own players was charged with holding. * Both teams played a good defen- : sive ball game, which showed - much improvement over the prev- > ious week. > The two teams will combine their talents to play New Haven • at the New Haven field Thursday ■ night at 6 o’clock. The following 1 night, the two teams will again ’ play an intra-squad game before the Decatur-Portland game. By the Purple team winning the game last night, the teams are now tied with one win each. 50-Yard Line Flashes By Jack Heller Funeral services will be held Monday evening at Worthman field during practice for a very dead football team. It is hoped it ‘ will be buried deep enough so it can’t come back and haunt any ■ players for the rest of the season There may be some excuse un- | known to the fans, but from where we sat, it looked like Decatur was just plain afraid for three quarters. Garrett built up a reputation for being rough, and they won a football game with a mediocre team last night by taking advantage of that reputation. They cerI tainly weren’t impressive as a team, but the Jackets just wouldn't put themselves into the game. A fine example was on the final extra point Garrett made. It was made by a kick, and two Decatur players were in a position to block it. Os course to do so, they would , have had to throw themselves in front of the ball, on that dirty old ground—so the kick wasn't block- i ed. and Garrett had another point. ; Football is a funny game. It doesn’t take big boys, and it doesn’t take fast boys—it takes boys , who want to play bad enough to i literally throw themselves into ’ someone else. Some the locals have not shown that inclination so i far. They are cheating themselves | and the team, and the boys on the | team who do want to play should tell them to shape up<or ship out. The win or loss isn’t so important to the fans—everyone was proud of the Jackets after the New Haven game because they tried. But last night . . . The New Haven game showed something else too. There was some hard tackling in that game. In fact, one New Hav- - en player got hit so much and so i hard that he didn’t play much last I night. That would have worked against Garrett or anybody else, . but the team seemed to forget it. The next team Decatur plays r will be the toughest they play all season. It should prove an inter- . esting contest. Again, it will be . against a team that isn’t unbeat- » able unless Decatur thinks it is. The number of vodka drinkers in the U.S.—according to a vodka ' manufacturer — has increased by ’’ about 700 per cent in the past ; six years.

Friend Hurls 22nd Win Os : Season Friday By MILTOJf RICHMAN United Press International I Don’t invite Bob Friend and . the Milwaukee Braves to the ' same victory party. j ( Friend made sure there would be no such party for the Braves Friday night when he scored his 22nd victory by pitching the Pirates to a 4-2 triumph over the , Philliees. The Braves could have assured ( themselves at least a tie for the National League pennant had they beaten the Redlegs. Instead, big : Don Newcombe defeated them. 7-1 and left their “magic number at two. So, the Braves will try again today, sending Lew Burdette, the man who figured in their ennant - clincher last year, against the Reds. A victory today will guarantee the Braves a pennant * tie; a Milwaukee victory, coupled with a Pittsburgh defeat, will enable the Braves to break open champagne in celebration of their second straight N.L. flag. Lynch Hitting Star Friend limited the Phillies to five hits and recorded his sixth straight victory as he became Pittsburgh’s biggest winner since • Burleigh Grimes won 25 for the ( Bucaners in 1928. | Newcombe held the Braves to 1 eight hits in fashioning his seventh victory with the aid of a homer, triple and double by Jerry i Lynch. That gave the Redlegs I only their fourth victory in 17 . games with the Braves this year and sliced Milwaukee’s lead over Pittsburgh to five games. j San Francisco handed St. Louis ( an 8-1 licking and Los Angeles ] took over sixth place with a 5-1 win over Chicago in the other N.L. games. Baltimore rallied for five runs in the ninth inning to beat the American League champion Yankees, 5-4; Boston blanked ' Washington, 2-0; Kansas City ; edged Chicago, 7-6, and Cleveland J defeated Detroit, 2-1. Miller “Junks Em” Junk - balleer Stu Miller of the Giants stopped the Cards on five J hits while San Francisco collected ' 15, including three apiece by ] Willie Mays and Orlando Cepeda, i Home runs by Ron Fairly and ' Don Demeter helped Dodger i rookie Ralph Mauriello score his ] first major league victory at the i expense of the (Mbs. ] Ex-Yankee Gene Woodling came , through with a two- run pinch ' single off Ryne Duren to cap Baltimore’s five - run rally. The uprising started when Mickey Mantle dropped Joe Taylor’s fly ( ball for a two-base error and Gus ] Triandos followed with his 29th j homer. Nellie Fox’ error with two out , in the ninth gave the A’s their i victory over the White Sox, while ( Cleveland utilized only four i singles to beat Detroit.
