The Decatur Yellow Jackets were defeated Friday night at the Allen county war memorial coliseum by the Fort Wayne Central Catholic Irish by a score of 79-60. bringing the Jackets season record to an even 3-3. The Decatur quintet was outplayed by the Irish five the entire ball game with the exception of the last few minutes of the final stanza when the Jackets finally found the hoop. The Decatur five never led during any part of the game. A very ragged first half saw 26 fouls called on the two teams and nearly as many during the last half. A total of 49 fouls were called on the two quintets. Decatur was charged with 23, while the Irish were called on 26. The ball game wasn’t nearly as rough as the total of fouls indicated. Both teams found difficulty in finding the m;irk the first two minutes of the tSiTie. A free throw by Cook and a jump shot by Walsh gave the Irish a 3-0 lead. Canales connected bn a jump shot from the circle to cut the Central lead to one point. Walsh again found the range as did Church at the foul circle and a two pointer by Pelkington gave the Irish a 11-5 lead. Walsh and Pelkington boosted the lead to 10 points until Gay connected on a foul shot and Shraluka dropped in two to cut the Irish lead at 1610 at the end of the first quarter The second quarter was a drawn

Ed Lubanski Winner Os Bowling Tourney CHICAGO (UPI) — Perennial challenger Ed Lubanski of Detroit and relative novice Charlotte Grubic of Steelton, Pa., were kingpins of the bowling world today, winners of the gruling, today, $30,200 second annual World’s Invitational match game championships. Lubanski and Mrs. Grubic copped their titles before a national television audience Friday night at the climax of the tourney’s 64-game finals. Lubanski, 28, grabbed the SSOOO first place money with ease, chalking up «-• Petersen point total of 317.02 to beat out defending champ Don Carter of St. Louis, who totaled 310.02, good for $2,500. Mrs. Grubic, 34, a secretary with a daughter, 12, held out against veteran Elvira Toepfer, a bowling instructress from Detroit, who came within a 10th frame strike of the title. As it was, Mrs. Grubic took the $2,500 first prize women’s money by a Petersen point edge of .05—equal to five pins for the women’s 32 game finals. For Lubanski, who finished third in last year’s opening tourney, it was a victory of the mind. “I had a better state of mind this year,” he said. “I concentrated on my own game rather than worrying about everybody rise’s. ’’ Lubanski wound up with a 64game finals average of 213. Carter’s was 211. | Carter’s last round drive was enough, to push out Don Ellis, . Chicago, who rolled an 833 and finished third. Fourth was Ray Bluth. St. Louis, and Lou Campi, Dumont, N.J., was fifth. Defending women’s champ Marion Ladewig, Grand Rapids, I Mich.* wound up 10th, but actually was only 8.25 points behind Mrs. Grubic.

Giants Battle Browns Sunday For East Title By EARL WRIGHT United Press International The Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Cardinals open the National Football League’s final regular season program Saturday but the only game on the card with title significance will be Sunday’s Cleveland Browns - New York Giants clash. Pittsburgh (84-1) will play host to the Cardinals (2-8-J) in a na-tionally-televised game at 1:30 p.m., e.s.t. Quarterback Bobby Layne (No. 22) and his teammates will post Pittsburgh’s best record since 1947 if they win. Hie Steelers are unbeaten in their last six starts and are favored by eight points. The Eastern Division title and about a quarter of a million dollars will be at stake when the Giants (8-3) entertain the Browns (9-2) at Yankee Stadium. Cleveland leads New York by a gafne and needs a victory or a tie to win the title and qualify to meet the Baltimore Colts for the league championship Dec. 28. Hie Giants, one-point underdogs, must win to force a Dec. 21 playoff at Yankee Stadium for Eastern honors. Colts Over 49’ers In Sunday’s other regular season windups, the Colts (9-2) are five-point favorites to beat the Forty-Niners (5-6) at San Francisco; the Rams (7-4) are favored over the Green Bay Packers (1-9-1) at Los Angeles: the Bears (7-4) are favored over the Detroit Lions (4-6-1) by 7% at Chicago, and the Redskins (3-7-1) are favored over the Philadelphia Eagles (2-8-1) by five at Philadelphia. The Colts clinched the Western Division title two weeks ago. x Cleveland probably has more top-notch professional talent than New York. But the Giants have a knack for playing their best against the top teams. Hiey are the only club that has beaten Cleveland (21-17) and Baltimore <24-21) this season. The Giants also have an ace which the Browns usually boast—the league’s best defense. New York has alowed fewer points than any other team, 173. Coach Paul Brown’s Cleveland team will try to crack this defense with speed. The Browns have tremendous speed in their flanker back, Ray Renfro, in fullback Jim Brown and in their big offensive guards. Gene Hickerson and Jim Ray Smith. Renfro averages a touchdown about every fourth pass he catches. Brown has reeled off scoring runs of 60, 59, 58. 52 and 41 yards while collecting 17 touchdowns this season. Browns A Bit Harder The Browns also may be a bit harder for the Giants to handle because Lew Carpenter has replaced Bobby Mitchell at offensive left halfback. Mitchell, who played there when the two clubs met at Cleveland last month, is a very fast 180-pound rookie. Carpenter is a 205-pound veteran Who seldom fails to make the big Play. New York has the edge in experience at quarterback in Charley Conerly, who has thrown more touchdown passes than any active NFL player, and Don Heinrich, a veteran who specializes in changing play calls at the line of scrimmage to take advantage of changes in the opponent’s defense. However neither Conerly nor Heinrich are good runners. Milt Plum, Cleveland’s quarterback, is just rounding out his first full season as a first-string player. He is an excellent runner and his passing has improved recently. Neither coach, Brown or Jim Lee Howell of the Giants, will have any trouble getting their men steamed up for the game. Winning a berth in the championship game will insure each player a minimum of about $3,500 —a valuable Christmas present. All seats except bleacher and standing-room for the game were sold several weeks ago. Hie weatherman ofrecast a cold weekend in New York with' temperature in the 20’s.
