YELLOW JACKETS Portland’s hustling Panthers, with better rebounding and fewer mistakes, defeated Decatur's Yellow Jackets Friday night at Portland, 81-68. Larry Daniels and Bob Shraluka each scored 23 points for Decatar, but Panther guard Dick Williams’ 21point splurge led four teammates to double figure scoring. The lack of bench strength and balanced scoring hampered coach Paul Bevelhimer's team from repeating an earlier victory over Portland at the Bluffton tourney, 63-49. Miscues, 4 to 1 in Portland’s favor, enabled the Panthers to pick up many easy scoring opportunities. The Panthers led at each quarter, with Decatur closing the gap at half time, 35-33, mainly on a 10-point burst by Daniels with 1:50 to play in the half. Decatur tied Coach Harold Schultz’ tive for the first time at 5:02 of tae third quarter, and went ahead on Larry Hill’s two free tosses, 46-45. The Jackets, leading 52-51 with 1:07 to play in the third stanza, saw the Panthers come roaring back behind the shooting and feeding of the fiery Williams. Each team lost two players on fouls with Jackets Jim Reidenbach, at 4:47 of the third, and Jim Gay, at 5:11 of the fourth period. The Panthers lost their 6-3 center, Larry Feyburgher, with 6:07 left in the game and the score 63-54. Portland. Panther Jerry Pyle sat out the last minute, the Panthers holding an eleven point edge, 77-66. As Coach Bevelhimer said after the game, ”... 68 points should be enough to win, but not when the other guy runs right through the defense!” Portland now boasts a 14-3 season mark, while the Jackets are at the gambler's call, 7-11.
