DHS Record Turnout Welcomed By Worthman

Decatur football coach Bob Worthman greeted 77 candidates for the 1959 edition of the Yellow Jackets this morning at Worthman field. The turn-out is the largest mentor's 13 years at Decatur. Bolstered by eight lettermen in the line and a like number of backs, the local lads, however, face one of their toughest schedules in history. Worthman said that his two biggest problems will be to build a line for his formid-| able array of back field talent, ' and secondly, to bring the backs up to their potential. Need Guts To Play In the first practice sessions. Worthman and his assistants will try to “separate the men from; the boys, so to speak,” seeking those boys who possess a com-1 bination of skill, a desire to play, and old fashioned “guts.” A total of 21 seniors and 17 juniors will lead the contingent, with 15 sophomores lending valuable bulk to the overall total. An incoming group of 22 freshmen, many of whom had a smattering of junior high football, will join the ranks, seeking experience for future years of play. A couple of frosh may surprise and break into the Starting line-up. The Yellow Jackets will again use a multiple offense, capitalizing on various individual assets of the line and backfield. Worthman will have but two weeks to build his machine as the Huntington Jamboree takes place Sept. 1 at Viking field in Huntington. The home opener at Worthman field will be ■iii i i [ DECATUR DRIVE-IN THEATRE —Litt Time Tonight— JERRY LEWIS “DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP” PLUS—An Hour of Shorts TUES. WED. THUR.

Hoosier Wins Soap Box Title At Akron AKRON, Ohio (UPI) — Barney Townsend, 13. Anderson, Ind., the nation’s champion soap box racer today, almost didn’t make it here for the race because of a broken collarbone. The slim youngster won a $5,000 college scholarship, a sightseeing trip to New York and a trip to the Rose Bowl football game at Pasadena, Calif., in 1960, for coming in first at the All-American Soap Box Derby Sunday. But that victory would not have been possible if the family doctor had not given Barney permission to remove a brace for a broken collarbone and let him make the trip here. The lad received the break while playing baseball after winning the Anderson derby. He was trying to tag a runner at second base. It marked what was believed the first time that two members of the same family have won the national event. Barney’s older brother, Terry, 16, won the crown in 1957. Stayed Out in 1958 Last year Barney stayed out of the race. • "After Terry won I didn’t race last year because I wanted to give someone else a chance,’’ he explained. But d Hoosier lad won that one, too. Jim Miley of Muncie, Ind., took the 1958 title to give Indiana the crown. Now Indiana racers have won three years straight, to pull even with Akron’s record. •• . s Second place went to Ace Fogarty, 15, Sarasota. Fla., who won a $4,000 scholarship, while third place and a $3,000 scholarship went to John Hesskamp, 14, St. Charles, Mo.

Chicago Banking on Ernie To Repeat As Slugging Leader

By NOBMAN MILLER United Press International The Chicago Cubs are banking on Ernie Banks to achieve one of the most unique three - play feats in National League history. At the rate mat he's been pounding the ball, Ernie could wind up the NL’s biggest RBI producer in 22 years, break his own homer record for shortstops, and become the first man ever to win the league’s Most Valuable Player award two straight seasons. All this and help the Cubs finish in the first division for the first time since 1946. > Ignoring a bruised back, Banks hit a two-run first-inning homer and Lee Walls followed with a three-run fourth-inning blast that gave the Cubs a 5-4 victory over the league-leading San Francisco Giants Sunday. The triumph prevented the Giants from widening their 2Vi-game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers and gave the
