Yellow Jackets Beaten By Big Penn Eleven By 21-0 Score Friday Night

A spunky Decatur Yellow Jacket team battled a quick-stepping, hard-hitting Penn powerhouse for 48 minutes last night in their season opener, at Penn, but bowed before the precision-like maneuvers of the highly polished consolidated football machine. 21-0. It was Penn’s second straight threetouchdown victory margin in as many games. Penn fielded a team that boasts a strong candidate for all-state honors at fullback, Bob Newcomber, and one who should get all the raves next season, sophomore quarterback Bill Gunn, besides adding an array of backs that carried out assignments to the let-; ter With an unyielding line and, blockhouse defense. Detracting not a thing from ; Penn’s potency, two debatable calls by the officials at the onset cut short any Decatur hopes. With the ball on the Penn 27-yard line and third and ten to go. an eager official dropped the flag when the quarterback backpedalled from under the center to a single-wing position. The official called backs in motion before he thought, when actually a back is allowed to back up in that fashion. He tried to correct himself by saying that two backs were backing, but really, only the quarterback had. The second quesitonable call allowed Penn to set up its first scoring thrust late in the second quarter. Gunn stood up on a third and one situation on the Jacket 15-yard line and hit his right end with a quickie pass. The end apparently dropped the ball before he caught it, or after, as Decatur recovered. It was either an incomplete pass or the Jackets’ ball according to our viewpoint from the twoyard line, but the same official who called the earlier one gave the ball to Penn, first down on the two. The Penn style of play was reminiscent of collegiate play, where the ‘‘win or else” attitude prevails. The line that separates rough play and dirty play often becomes obscure, which is natural, in such circumstances. Decatur absorbed a terrific physical beating in the Penn encounter, but never gave up for one second. It will undoubtedly be the toughest team the Jackets must face all year. Only one Jacket player, possibly two, could match the natural ability, the desire, and the quickness of the starting Penn eleven. Jim Gay, fullback and linebacker, crunched his way along for four quarters, and Jim Reidenbach played his usual poised and cool game, but the remainder were just out-manned. A Jacket line with UPSET imprinted on their collective finds gave the quicker and bulkier Penn a rough time but were simply out-personneled. Statistically, Penn received only a slight edge. Gunn threw five passes in the first half, completing two for 40 yards and an alert Jacket defense picked off two others. Gay snared one to end one threat and Herb Banning got the other to similarly cut off a Penn thrust. I DECATUR DRIVE-IN THEATRE SUN. MON. TUES. Great Holiday Program!

t — Reidenbach hit two for three r passes for 24 yards as the half ■ ended with Penn leading 14-0. I Newcomber scored the first tally ’ from two yards out, and Gunn hit ’ Tim Bessinger on a 24-yard pass- • run play for the second counter. Steinbach kicked both points. Reidenbach completed four for’ five in the second half for 24 ' yards, but the Decatur line plunges were sporadic as Penn stif- ' fened in the clutches.

50-yard Line Flashes By JACK HELLER It wasn’t too bad, but it wasn’t very good, either. The safest description would be it was a typical first game. Penn was a good, big, hard-charging team. The hardcharging part was the difference. Decatur’s line was far from their jamboree example, and only in the final period did they open many holes. r The things that hurt were typical. Decatur played pretty good football most of the game, but there were two or three mental lapses, and they were fatal, as usual. Two of these were on pass defense. The defense on wide runs was not very good, either. On offense, the line failed to give th passr much time on several plays. The Jims, Gay and Reidenbach, put on the majority of the offensive, show, and a good portion of the defense. Red completed seven of ten passes, but several were to the short man, as he didn't have time to throw to the long man. He also made several nice runs from halfback. Gay picked up a total of 56 yards both running and receiving passes, and was the mainstay of the defense. Mike Thieme, slated as starting fullback, will be back in action next Friday against the , Auburn Red Devils. This will help the team, too. Thieme is a good, strong runner, and will take some of th? pressure off Gay, who carried the ball most of the time. Ed Nelson, also supposed to start in the backfield, may not make the Auburn game. Ed is troubled with a pulled thigh muscle, and it is healing slowly. It was probably the best thing that could have happened to the Jackets to play Pens first. Penn has an enrollment in the high school of 919. They also are near the “football area” of Indiana, up where the boys are hungry. The Jackets got a taste of rough, tough football, and found out that while they might get bumped and bruised, they didn’t get hurt too bad. This was probably the best team the Jackets will play all year. If they can gain some experience and determination from it, it would be worth the loss. We thought this might be the year that Decatur would have that little something extra in the way of confidence. The Jackets want to win as much as any other team, but they don't play like they really expect to win. Yet there’s no team left on the schedule that they can’t beat, if they really play ball. All they have to do is convince themselves. With Gay, Reidenbach and Thieme running and blocking, and the line working like they can, this bunch should roll over a lot of teams—they can, but they don’t seem to know it. Some of the juniors looked real good last night. Stu Knodel has some things to learn on defense, but did a fine job on offense. Ron August continued to perform like a veteran at center. Tom Sharp looks rough in the defensive line. The seniors on the team had better realize one thing—this is it. This is their last football season, and they can make it what they want. One game can be chalked up to experience, and increase the determination, but a whole season can't. If the Jackets want to see some spirit, they can watch the junior-high football teams in an intra-squad game before the Auburn game next Friday evening. There's only one thing they have to remember, though. Beat Auburn. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION Eastern Division W. L. Pct. G.B.

White Sox Win Over Indians To Hike Lead By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International It’s about time for the Indians to holler “uncle” and concede they made a bum deal when they peddled Early Wynn to the White Sox. Wynn virtually ended any lingering pennant hopes the Indians may have still entertained by defeating them, 3-2, Friday night for his 18th victory of the season and his ninth in 10 decisions over Cleveland since it traded him to Chicago two years ago. The victory fattened the White Sox’ lead to 6% games over the second-place Indians, whom they now have beaten five straight times and 14 out of 19 this year. Wynn, apparently better than ever at 39, yielded only five hits and one run —a fifth-inning homer b Jim Baxes — during the eight innings he worked. Gerry Staley gave up Cleveland’s final run and two hits in the ninth. It was a typical White Sox’ victory. They got to loser Jim Perry for nine hits and all of them were singles. Four singles produced two Chicago runs in the second inning and what proved to be the winning run came across in the eighth on singles by Ted Kluszewski and Sherm Lollar and Tito Francona’s wild throw from center field. Yankees Shut Out The Orioles handed the Yankees their 13th shutout of the year, 3-0; the Senators won from the Red Sox, 4-3, and the Tigers mauled the Athletics, 9-2, in other American League games. In the National League, Chicago shaved San Francisco's lead to two games by defeating the Giants, 2-1; the Braves topped the Reds, 4-1, and the Phillies downed the Pirates, 3-0. The Dodgers and Cardinals were idle. Young Milt Pappas of the Orioles snapped a three-game Yankee winning streak with a six-hit effort that earned him his 14th victory. Baltimore hopped on loser Ralph Terry for two runs on four singles in the first inning and added another run in the fourth. The Senators rallied for three runs in the fifth inning to hand the Red Sox their fourth loss in a row. Winning pitcher Tex Clevenger started the rally with a single off loser Frank Sullivan, who suffered his ninth loss. , Gave A’s Six Hits Don Mossi of the Tigers limited the Athletics to six hits and chipped in with two doubles and a single that helped him post his 13th win. Harvey Kuenn also had three hits to boost his league* leading average to .358. Bud Daley started for Kansas City, failed to survive a three-run first inning, and was charged with his 11th loss. Third baseman Jackie Brandt was the “goat” in the Giants’ loss to the Cubs. He set up both of Chicago’s runs wtih two fifth inning errors and Alvin Dark drove them both across with a double. Brandt opened the fifth by booting Irv Noren’s grounder and then muffed a throw by righbfielder Willie Kirkland on Sam Taylor’s single. That put men on second and third and Dark sent them home with a long double off the left center-field screen. Glen Hobbie notched his 14th victory. Jack Sanford suffered his 12th loss. I Spahn Gets 18th Southpaw Warren Spahn registered his 18th win for the Braves with a three-hitter over the Reds. Milwaukee bunched five hits for two runs in the sixth and added two more in the ninth on Del Crandall’s double, a walk and Hank Aaron’s second double of the game. Bob Purkey was charged with his 16th loss of the 1 campaign. Jim Owens held the Pirates to six hits while winning his 11th 1 game for the Phillies. An error by shortstop Dick Groat paved the way for Philadelphia's first two runs in the sixth, with Ed Bouchee doubling home the first one and Gene Freese singling home the second. Harvey Haddix suffered his 10th loss. Schafer Team Wins City Softball Meet A strong Schafer’s squad came back from last Friday’s setback at the hands of McMillen and won the city softball tourney, blanking the Feed Millers, 7-0. Juggy Leisure and Ronne Ballard shared honors ’ for Schafers, as Laisure struck out 14 batters, allowing only three hits, and Ballard clouted two homers for the victors. Both teams played errorless ball, but the Feed Mill team couldn’t touch Laisure. In the third inning, McMillen threatened with the bases loaded and no out, but Laisure proceeded to strike out the side. Schafer’s jumped to a quick lead in the opening frame, counting three runs with Ballard's first homer being the telling blow. They added one in the third and three more in the fifth, ending up with 11 hits. Ballard again banged out the big blast, a homer with a mat* aboard.

Big Ten’s Coaches Step Up Practices United Preu International Most Big Ten football coaches ! planned to step up the pace Saturday as their squads completed the [ first week of practice. Coach Forest Evashevski of lowa promised the players at least one heavy-duty scrimmage today. He sent the team through a no conact, double workout Friday, stressing defense and including a light passing drill. Quarterback Olen Treadway moved the first unit effectively against the second team, with Wilburn Hollis at the helm. Northwestern Coach Ara Parseghian scheduled a full-scale scrimmage today. Parseghian said he planned to give every player a chance to see action. The Purdue Boilermakers prepared for today’s scrimmage by going through heavy morning drills and a light afternoon workout Friday. Perry Sheehan, a second-string center, suffered a bruised leg and will be sidelined. Phil Dickens, coach at Indiana University, said he may not have a full scale scrimmage today because of needed work on fundamentals. Dickens slowed down the pace ot training Friday as he tried to get his team, which is top heavy with sophomores, into top shape. He said the Hoosiers are behind last year's training pace because of the larger number of new players. The Notre Dame squad ended its period of heavy calesthenics and Coach Joe Kuharich said “from now on there will be more Contact work.” Kuharich ran the team through its first line scrimmage drill Friday.

■Colts Winners Over Steelers • In Exhibition By GARY KALE United Press International 1 - All good things come in threes • for aerial artist Johnny Unites of ' the unbeaten world champion Bal- ' tlmore Colts. Unites tossed a trio of touch- > down passes Friday night as the Colts trounced their nemeses, the l Pittsburgh Steelers, 30 to 21, in [ a National Football League exhibition game for charity in the Or- ’ ange Bowl at Miami, Fla. Hie passing display marked the ' third time in pre-season play that Unites has connected for three scoring heaves in a game. The Colts’ quarterback first turned the trick against the College AllStars in the Colts’ opening exhibition and duplicated the feat against the New York Giants. Lenny Moore was on the receiving end of all three passes against Pittsburgh, which suffered its first loss in history to the Colts. The Steeler had beaten Baltimore in two league encounters and an exhibition game last summer. Baltimore’s other scores came on Ray Brown’s 26-yard interception return of a Bobby Layne pass and a 36-yard field goal b Steve Mrha. A crowd of 35,000 is expected to jam the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla., tonight to see the Chicago Bears, the only other und° seated team in NFL exhibition play, meet the twice-beaten Washington Redskins. Forty-two Packers will suit up for Green Bay’s clash with the New York Giants tonight at Bangor, Maine, with the men from Wisconsin expected to come up against one of the toughest lines in the circuit. Los Angeles, which lost both games to Cleveland last season, figures to be a six-point choice over the Browns at the Coliseum. The other game on tap is at Seattle.
