YELLOW JACKETS Decatur’s Yellow' Jackets played pretty good defense for three quarters, and strangely enough it cost them the ball game at Garrett Friday night. 71-47. The Railroaders, hitting an even .500 from field, scored from “way out” in a phenomenal display of high school basketball accuracy. Little Tom Maggert personally took over in the final period, getting 20 of his 28 points, mostly on driving, twisting layups. Decatur's shooting left something to be desired. The Jackets finished with a .267 field goal average, while at one point in the game — the third quarter — they < could manage only one basket in 14 attempts, and that one was by freshman Jim Bollenbacher. The Jackets stayed pretty close in the early part of the effort to : pin loss No. 2 on Garrett, but in ■ the second period, with Garrett ahead by a mere three points, . starter Larry Hill twisted an , ankle, scuffling for a rebound. ] This was Decatur’s best quarter , as they rolled up a .700 shooting . average. 7 for 10. but the Rail- J readers led at each quarter, 10-16, • 27-34, 31-46, and finally 47-71. Bob Shraluka, with 16. and Larry Daniels, with 14, led the Jackets, while four of Coach Ward Smith’s Railroaders went for dou- , ble figures? Coach Smith pulled ( his starting five from the game , for i well-deserved standing ova- ; tion with 39 seconds to play and i the score 71-42. The wiry Mag-,* gert stayed six seconds longer, scoring no more points, but receiving a thundering reception from the partisan fans crowded into Garrett’s “cracker-box" gym. The loss puts Coach Paul Bevelhimer’s team at 7-12 seasonal mark, while the Garrett victory put No. 18 in the win columff against a single loss. — The Jackets end their season next Friday night playing WinI Chester at the Decatur gym.
