Yellow Jackets Blanked By Kendallville Comets Wednesday Night, 13-0

I The Decatur Yellow Jackets, Iwith spirits as damp as the weath|er, suffered their first shutout of the season at the hands of the Kendallville Comets Wednesday night, by a 13-0 score. Three quarters of the game, played at Guymon field in Kendallville, was played in a steady rain, and the weather put out any fire the Jackets may have intended to use. Decatur kicked to Kendallville to open the game, and the Comets had things pretty well their own way throughout. The Noble county boys, playing their last game of the season, marched 75 yards in 11 plays to score in the first period. Hazelton went the last eight yards over his own right tackle for the TD, and followed with a plunge through the same spot for the PAT. At one time in the march, the Jackets had the Comets stopped with a fourth down and eight yards to go situation. The Kendallville kicker went back to punt, dropped the ball, picked it up and ran for a 15-yard gain and a first down, while the Yellow Jackets watched. From then on. the Comets had little trouble with Decatur. Early in the second period, the Jackets made a mild move. Mike Thieme intercepted a Comet pass on the Decatur 23 to start things rolling. Thieme. Gay and Ritter picked up 13 yards for a first down on the Decatur 36. Thieme then lugged the ball for four consecutive plays and another first down on the midfield stripe. Tim Murphy took over the churning then, and went for 13 yards in three tries. With a first down on the Kendallville 37. the roof fell in again. A five-yard penalty, an incomplete pass, and an 18-yard loss by Reidenbach on an attempted pass with no protection fixed things fine. The Comets returned the punt to their own 40 and started to move again. Thirteen plays later. Shank swept around his right end for a one-yard scoring run. The try for PAT was stopped by Murphy, and the half ended with the Comets ahead by the final score of 13-0. The Yellow Jackets made one more attempt to get going, as they took the second half kick-off. Reidenbach took the kick back to the Decatur 41, and Thieme went for a first down on th« Comet 48><Gaypicked up seven, and Ritter rolled to the Kendallville 31. Two carries •by Gay and four by Ritter gave the Jackets a first down on the Comet 10, and the Jackets looked like a football team again. The il-l lusion didn’t last long though, as \ the next two plays lost five yards, i as the Comet line poured through.! Decatur managed to get back .to! the Kendallville 8, but lost the ball l on downs. The rest of the contest was a[ soggy exchange of the ball between the 30 yard lines, with reserves playing a lot of the time, [ The toss gives Decatur a 2-6 record for the season, and Kendall- [ ville ended its season with a 5-4 slate. The Jackets next and final i game will be against the Concor-] dia Cadets Oct. 31 in Fort Waynei at Dwenger park. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Pos.

This should be a real hair-singer, but after last night’s game, one begins to wonder, why bother. The team certainly doesn’t seem to care, why should the fans. Against a team like Kendallville, the team Decatut 1 could have had would have gone wild. Seems like a few fists in the face up at Columbia City took some of the nerve out of the line. This year's team really started to come. They looked good against a tough Portland team, and then jelled into a scrappy bunch that won two games and put on a good show. Even the Columbia City game was good football, but last night the jell turned to jelly. The Concordia game will probably be a track meet. Nice to see Larry Ritter back on the field. Ritter missed the Columbia City game due to illness, but last night was back running as hard as ever. The whole backfield deserves a pat on the back if they even show up at practice. With a few exceptions, they had to open their own holes. , At the start of the second half, the Decatur line was really blocking. They were pushing the Comet line all over the field. One of the Comets must have threatened to smack the linemen if they didn't i quit blocking, so they obliged and quit. If they couldn’t do it, it could ‘ be understood, but when they show tyiey can. and then don’t, the only assumption that can be made is j that they just don’t want to. The Concordia contest will be the last one in high school for sev-; eral boys who coulß be good football players. The line is composed j of seven seniors. The line is also! the heart of any football team. If i these seven boys want to play what well might be their last football game for any team, they can make the difference against Concordia. Hollering doesn’t make up for a block or a tackle, though. They will have to put out some physical effort as well as vocal effort. Three of them stood and watched Reidenbach get thrown for a 20-yard loss in the final quarter by the men they were supposed to block. It is hoped that the underclassmen on the team can learn a lesson from this year. It doesn't matter how good you look as an under- j classman. nobody is going to be, scared of you just because you’re j a senior. On a football field, just i as anywhere else in life, your ac- ■ tions by and large dictate the re-1 suits. If you work hard and sincerely, you can expect good results. If you talk loud and do nothing. last night is the result. Decatur high school continued its great support of the team by having approximately two dozen fans on hand. Concordia took a real lacing from Garrett last Friday. and the Jackets could do the same thing. It would take a little effort though, and it’s up to the team to decide whether it would be worth it to look like a football team for their final game. They've got more than a week to think about the fact that this is the last time they’ll ever step on a football field together.

: Big Ten Teams Drill For Big Tilts Saturday United Press International Undefeated Northwestern and unbeaten lowa paid each other the highest form of Wednesday by following almost identical training patterns for their decisive Big Ten game this weekend. 1 ( Coach (Ara Parseghian ran his t first two teams against lowa , plays, while lowa Coach Forest Evashevski ran his first two teams against Northwestern’s of- [ senses. The Hawkeye held a ; light, but lengthy, contact drill with quarterback Randy Duncan ’ testing his passing arm. Northc western kept tackle Gene Gos- ' sage, suffering from a bruised 1 shoulder, out of contact work. Illinois: Ray Eliot made it no ' secret he was counting on an ' aerial attack to offset the mighty Michigan State line. The Illini 1 loped along in non-contact drill t while passers Bob Hickey, Johnny i Easterbrook, Russ Martin and t Bill Offenbecher did the firing. 1[ Indiana: Proving that if it isn’t 'one thing it’s another, Hoosier i Coach Phil Dickens was worried • about injuries. Dickens put the > team through a short defensive drill, but feared he may not have i the services of sophomore wing- . back Will Scott, tackle Don Noone, and guard Mike Rabold in Saturi [day's game with Miami of Ohio. I Purdue: The Boilermakers, a , \ slight underdog but always a ,: threat in its Notre Dame engaget ment, were grounded Wednesday [by light rain. Although drizzle interfered with passing experiments, ’ the backfields underwent a heavy .[ground drill. Wisconsin: The Badgers held a , heavy contact drill that included ' everything but the “flying wedge” in preparing for a rough Ohio State team. There also was general rejoicing over the return of fullback Al Walker who ran at i top speed for the first time in ! several weeks. Ohio State: Coach Woody Hayes tried to correct the siege of [ “fumble-itis” that cost the Buckeyes the ball three times last weekend. Hayes had one message Ito the squad after a hard session Wednesday: "Think!” Michigan: The Wolverines went through their first full-scale drills in more than a week Wednesday, and Bob Ptacek and Stan Noskin showed no signs of their recent injuries. Noskin seemed a likely starter in the quarterback position against Minnesota. Minnesota: Coach Murray Warmath worked the Gophers on offensive and defensive alignments in a bruising, fast-paced drill. A scouting report on the Wolverines caused several modifications in the Minnesota strategy. Nctre Dame: Injured fullback ■ Nick Pietrosante was a doubtful [ starter in the Purdue game this i Saturday, and Ron Toth was [ poised to’ move into the slot. Coach Terry Brennan, dissatisfied [ with Notre Dame’s ground-gain-ing, concentrated on offensive action. Bowling Scores Women’s League W L Pts.

HE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, ZNDXAWA

Dan Murtaugh Os Pittsburgh Top Manager NEW YORK (UPD — Danny Murtaugh, who recalls his first day as manager ot (the Pl|ttsrburgh Pirates as “my saddest day in baseball," is the United Press International's 1958 National League Manager of the Year. A 24-man UPI committee, composed of three baseball writers from each city in the league, made the 41-year old native of Chester, Pa., an overwhelming selection by giving him 18 votes. Fred Haney of the Milwaukee Braves and Bill Rigney of the San Francisco Giants received three each. The one-time utility infielder with both the Philadelphia Phillies and Pirates was honored for his part in the spectacular rise of the 1958 Buccaneers from a tie for last place in 1957 to second place. It was the Pirates’ best finish since 1944 and their best in a nonwar year since 1938. Actually, the Pirates showed a gain of 22 games over their 1957 performance when their record was 62-92. Their final 1958 mark was 84-70. Murtaugh’s rise to the top of his' profession was every bit as sensational as the Pirates’ progre in the National League race because he wasn't even expected to be their manager this year. When Murtaugh replaced Bobby Bragan on Aug. 3, 1957, Joe E. Brown Jr., general manager of the club, specified that Danny was only “an interim manager.” The next day is the one Murtaugh recalls as “my saddest in baseball.” “The next day,” he recalls, “we played, the Cubs. We started the doubleheader in seventh place with a six-game losing streak. At the end of the day we had dropped a doubleheader, extended our losing streak to eight games and fallen into the cellar.” — In spite of that start, Murtaugh’s Pirates played over .500 ball (26-24) over the last two months of the season and his 2626 record as "intetfcn manager” persuaded Brown to extend his contract one year. This year the Pirates got off to a steady start, but were not taken seriously until early August when the Giants faded and left them the Braves’ only serious contender. The Pirates never could get within real range of the Braves, but they almost matched their pace over 'the TaSt two months. The Braves won 33 of their last 52 games, while the Pirates won 32 of their last 52. Butler Rated Seventh Among Small Colleges NEW YORK (UPD — Butler University of Indianapolis held seventh place in the United Press International small college football ratings’today to climb two notches from its week-ago ninth spot. Butler's Indiana Collegiate Conference leaders gained ground in balloting by the board of small college coaches which rates' the teams weekly for UPI with a 5-0 record, including one vote for first and 116 points. Mississippi Southern stayed at the top of the poll with a 4-0 record, 25 first place votes and 327 points. Selvy Traded By Hawks To Knicks NEW YORK (UPD — Frank Selvy, former national scaring champion from Furman, joined the New York Knickerbockers today. He was acquired by the Knicks from the St. Louis Hawks Wednesday in exchange for a second choice in the 1959 National Basketball Association draft. Red Men 4 14 G.

Indian Owners In Internal Squabble CLEVELAND, Ohio (UPD—William R. Daley, board chairman of the Cleveland Indians, refused today to be drawn into an internal Squabble among directors saying, “all my efforts will be directed toward making the Indians a success.” “I do not see how it can help the ball club,” Daley said in referring to the squabble which erupted Wednesday when three minority stockholders, including former Tribe general manager Hank Greenberg, demanded the resignations of all high-salaried dub officials. Greenberg and brokers Charles and Andrew Baxter, who control a Hock of stock estimated at 33 per cent, charged that the topsalaried officers are “inefficient” and “have definite conflicting interests.’ Although he declined to enter the dispute, Daley pointed out that he had said earlier that he had “plans about strengthening management.’ The split among the directors was brought into the open 24 hours after a board of directors meeting at which an offer of 6 million dollars for the team was disclosed. The directors ’ declined to take any action on the offer made by a Houston, Tex., syndicate. | Today's Sport Parade | XReg. U. S. Pat. Off.)

G.O.P. Makes Ex-President Prime Target Campaign Begins To Take On Appearance Os A Street Brawl WASHINGTON (UPI) — Republicans were making former President truman their number one target today for saying President Eisenhower hdd “surrendered to the Communists” in negotiating the Korean armistice. With President Eisenhower punching Democrats more aggressively than ever before, the 1958 campaign began to look like • street brawl Involving the President, Truman and other bigwigs of both political parties. Both the President and GOP National Chairman Meade Alcorn slapped at Truman for saying Eisenhower had “surrendered to the Communists” in negotiating the Korean armistice. Vice President Richard M. Nixon accused Truman and other Democratic leaders of "malicious and false charges” against the Eisenhower administration. Adlai E. Stevenson, 1952 and 1956 Democratic presidential nominee, called Nixon an “intolerable demagogue.” These were samples of the name - calling, of the charge and countercharge aimed at allegedly apathetic voters in a shrill crescendo less than two weeks before the Nov: 4 congressional elections. Says Asians Dismayed Amid the word - war. Army Secretary Wilber M. Brucker urged the nation to rid itself of “partisan conflicts” over foreign policy in favor of a “new resurgence of bipartisanship.” Recently returned from a Far East tour, Brucker said Asians were “utterly dismayed” by U. S. disagreements over foreign policy. In other political developments: — Truman bluntly rejected Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler’s invitation to Southern Democrats to quit the Democratic Party if they do not support the Supreme Court’s school integration decision. Truman said “I am not reading anyone out of the party; we need all the people in our column that we can get.” Eisenhower, concluding his biggest campaign swing which took him to the West Coast and back, was flying back to Washington todiiy. Others would keep the political guns booming until he moved out again next week to West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York — all politically importat states in 1958. The President spoke from Chicago Wednesday night over a national radio and television network; As he had done in California earlier this week, he attacked what he called Democratic “radicals” in Congress who would solve the business recession only by ladling out money from the federal Treasury. He chortled over rising business barometers which he felt had shown his administration had taken the right approach. Charges History Rewriting Eisenhower earlier had approved a statement that Truman had engaged in “political rewriting of history.” This comment was provoked by a Truman remark at New Castle, Pa., Tuesday night that the Eisenhower administration had “surrendered” to the Communists in the Korean armistice. Alcorn said the Truman comment was a restatement qfu an earlier remark which the other appeasement talk we have had from campaigning Democrats might well have contributed to the resumption of Communist firing at Quemoy.” The GOP chairman also charged Truman with “wild hatchet work" which would “give aid and comfort to the Communists.” The former president, who accused the administration Wednesday of “blunder, bluster and brinksmanship” in foreign policy, could renlv tonight in a speech at Boston, Mass. Nixon swung through New England Wednesday where he attacked Truman for “milicious and false charges" that administration policies worked for big business and against wage-earners. The vice president has two speeches scheduled tonight at New York City. Protests Tactics Stevenson did his talk in g Wednesday in a Chicago speech f protesting both-. Eisenhower, and.

Nixon campaign tactics. “All of us realized when the going got tough for the Republicans, the old Nixon would I emerge,” Stevenson said. "But even sadder than that is the fact that the old Nixon has been joined by the new Ike.” Democratic National Chairman Paul M.
