Yellow Jackets Lose To Elmhurst Trojans Last Niaht Bv 57-47 Score

The Elmhurst Trojans made their season opener a victory Friday night as they handed the Decatur Yellow Jackets a 57 to 47 defeat at the Decatur gym, making Decatur’s record even at 1-1. A slow start killed off the Jackets’ hopes as they fell behind by as much as 12 points during the first half, and after battling back furiously to pull within two points late in the third quarter, saw the Trojans pull away again in the closing period. Three fielders by Jim Paar paced Elmhurst to an early 7-2 lead. Two-pointers by Rich Canales and Larry Daniels cut the margin to 7-6, but the Allen county quintet built its advantage to 16-8 at the end of the first quarter. The Trojans held 12-point margins at 22-10, 24-12 and 26-14, but a late flurry by the Jackets cut the lead to 28-21 at the smoker. Five quick points by Parr restored a 12-point bulge for the visitors, but the Jackets then began whittling away, sparked mainly by Bob Shraluka, who dropped in four field goals and Decatur was back in the ball game, trailing only 39-37 with a minute to go in the third period. Don McLean canned a pair of free throws to give Elmhurst a 41-37 margin, but Steve Dellinger hit from the field for a 41-39 score at the quarter. A' two-pointer and a free throw by Don Waldrop made Elmhurst’s lead five points and the Jackets could get no closer than three as the Trojans protected their advantage. Shraluka’s 19 points were high for both teams, but Daniels was the only other Jackets in double figures, scoring 12. Parr topped Elmhurst with 18, and Waldrop and McLean each scored 12. The Yellow Jackets will open their Northeastern Indiana conference season Wednesday, hosting the Fort Wayne Concordia Cadets.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT,' DECATUft, INDIANA

State Champs Win Opener Os Season Friday INDIANAPOLIS (UPD The "high society” at Indiana high school basketball circles took to the hardwood courts Friday night and successfully upheld its prestige in the face erf determined challenges from pretenders to the throne. The elite were led by defending state champion Fort Wayne South, Crawfordsville and Muncie Central. All three cleared the first hurdle toward a repeat appearance in the state finals with lopsided victories in their season openers. Tom Bolyard, a 6-4 holdover from the graduation-depleted state titlists, ignored a cast on his broken hand and rammed in 26 markers to South to a 67-55 victory over Bluffton, its 21st in a row. Bolyard scored 18 points in the first half as the Archers raced to a 33-29 halftime lead. Nick Demetre took charge in the second half as he tallied 18 of his 25 points. Muncie, a perennial title threat and top favorite this season, relied on the talents of junior center Ron Bonham as the Bearcats slaughtered outmanned Hagerstown, 93-44, The 6-4 ace hit 27 points in the first 16 minutes of play and subs took over the rest of the way as the winners extended a 30-8 first period lead. Crawfordsville, a major surprise last season, indicated a reluctance ' to rest on its laurels by blasting ; hapless Greencastle, 60-28. The Athenian starters bu.?. up a quick 1 lead and reserves coasted the rest ’ of the way.

Others Successful Other highly - regarded teams had equally successful results. Madison ‘continued as the state’s winningest major team with its fifth straight over Lawrenceburg, 78-55; Larry Bemis, who transferred to Martinsville from Indianapolis Tech, scored 22 points to lead the Artesians to an easy and Lafayette, a regular North Central Conference power, turned 73-44 win over Mooresville; on little Lebanon to the tune of 66-46 as center George Lucas scored 16 markers. Five starters hit in double figures as Seymour evened its record at 1-1 with an 87-62 victory over Mitchell and John Sheffield and Bob Luegers combined for 42 points to pace Jasper to a Tfi 53 Southern Conference victory over Bedford. The losers’ Jerry Owens took game scoring honors with 23 tallies. Don Welp hit 23 points for Huntingburg and Wayne Boltinghouse matched the total for Rockport, but Welp had more help from his teammates in an easy 58-43 win. Dick Cochran and Larry Keaton split 50 points for Oakland City, but Princeton relied on scoring balance for a 76-65 triumph. High-scoring Jimmy Rayl, who hit for 38 last week, was "limited" to 20 points as his Kokomo teammates just managed to slip by aroused Tipton, 58-55. The losers held a 28-26 halftime margin.

Central Loses Fort Wayne Central, picked as a pre-season favorite, sorely missed jumping Johnny Kelso as the Tigers dropped a 69-59 decision to Anderson of the NCC. Marion, also of the NCC, grounded Rochester, 65-49, but conference rival Logansport came out on the . short end of a 62-54 tussle with Winamac. Plymouth nipped Peru. 53-51, in a Central Conference battle; Fort Wayne Concordia hit .431 from the field to nip Auburn, 62-60; and Fort Wayne North scored on 23 of 56 attempts from the field to ease by Hartford City, 57-53. Huntington clipped Warsaw, 7768, in a CIC clash; Brazil edged Linton, 58-53; Dan Thurston scored 23 points to pace Shelbyville to a 53-51 opening win over Silver Creek, and Aurora clipped Batesville, 72-56. Elkhart stamped itself as a northern power with a 50-43 win over East Chicago Roosevelt; Gary Froebel took the measure of South Bend Riley, 34-30, South Bend Adams won out over Wash-ington-Clay, 59-51, Monticello ripped Rensselaer, 57-49, and Franklin surprised South Central Conference foe Southport, 61-45. Tiger Jones Upsets Rory Calhoun On Foul NEW YORK (UPD — Middleweight Ralph (Tiger) Jones, who upset Rory Calhoun by the margin of a foul-round Friday nighty may meet top contender Carmen Basilio at Syracuse, N. Y., in January. Promoter Norman Rothschild announced he had offered ex-cham-pion Basilio $35,000 to meet Jones at the Syracuse Memorial Auditorium in a non - televised bout.

Y., in their TV-radio 10-rounder at Madison Square Garden, after slugger Calhoun had been penalized his best round, the eighth, on a iow-blow foul.
