Yellow Jackets Drop Home Opener Friday

Decatur’s Yellow Jackets opened their home season before a chilled and quiet crowd of about 1,000 fans, bowing to Auburn's Red Devils. 14-0. The teams played scoreless ball for three periods but the time seemed to hang for Decatur in the last three minutes as Auburn counted twice, taking advantage of a fumble and an interception. The Jackets piled up a good statistical edge, gaining well up and t down the middle of the playing 1 area, but failed to penetrate bey- j ond the Auburn 30-yard line as a j combination of fumbles <3 lost), interceptions <2*. untimely penal-1 ties >2 for 5 yards each', and an alert Red Devil defense squelched the Jacket offense that glittered as much as it faded. The Jackets had 10 first downs j to six for the Red gained : 49 yards through the airtp a measly 6 yards for the Red Devils; and completed 8 of 15 passjjsjfor their 49 yards to Auburn’s 1 of 4. Auburn, however, gained 93 yards on the ground to Decatur’s 42 yards net. The Jackets had a gross yardage of 65 on the ground, but 23 yards were taken away by passers being spilled by Red Devil linemen. Punt-wise, the Jackets had two, good for only 27 yards as one was block?d, while Auburn had three good for a 27-yard average. The Jackets’ two penalties totalled 10 yards, while Auburn had five for 25 yards lost. A jarring fullback, who left Jacket linemen scattered on the field, Jon Feagler, seemed the difference in the ball game. Feagler, a 5-10, 190-pound senior, bulled his way through with the consistency of rising taxes. Feagler scored the first touchdown with 2:40 remaining in the game from five yards out as Dave Aeschleman added the point after, after Decatur was offside on the first try, which was wide. With three seconds remaining in the contest, John Gaskill went over from the one-yard line on a series that was set up by an intercepted pass and run of 52 yards to the 10-yard line by Tim Brown, Auburn senior guard. Don Lemish converted, putting Decatur down in its first NEIC game. Penn beat a more spirited and charging Decatur ball club last week, 21-0. Halfback Jim Gay salvaged some of the glory for the Jackets, averaging more than 7 yards per carry on seven thrusts, picking up 52 yards. Mike Thieme, playing his first game of the season, had a 2-yard average on 12 carries, and Jim Reidenbach had a 6-yard average, except for the 23 yards in losses on attempted passes. Jim still wound up with a net average of more than 2 yards per carry. The next Jacket game is Friday night at Garrett in another conference tilt with the Railroaders.

t 50-yard Line Flashes By JACK HELLER AN OPEN LETTER TO THE DECATUR FOOTBALL TEAM — Last night’s efforts were some of the best we’ve ever seen by a Decatur football team. There were mistakes—there are mistakes in any football game. But it was good, winning football. The fact that Decatur didn’t win still is i puzzling. The best guess we have i is bad breaks. Decatur lost the ball four times I due to fumbles. The Jackets usi ually don’t fumble. Auburn just got so many breaks that they finally got fired-up from one late in the game. The statistics were all in Decatur's favor. But statistics j still don't win games. ! We went out on a limb earlier and guessed at three wins for this year's team. After last night, we will go our farther and raise that I to five. The scores registered by Decatur’s opposition in games t<? come were not impressive. The competition seems to be pretty even and nothing outstanding this year. One exception is already past. The Penn team beat Valparaiso last night, showing how good they were. The only thing the Jackets need is a good shot of confidence. Some could come from John Cowan’s performance at quarterback last night. John got ’ back home", and did a real good job. Herb Banning played this best football of the season, tackling well on defense and blocking well on offense. The whole team looked good, particularly in the first half. Jim Reidenback and Jim Gay continued their good running and tackling, showing that experience counts. As this team gets more experience they should be a lot tougher. Reports are that Ed Nelson’s leg is healing up, and maybe the speedster can get back on the field before long. Some people have asked why we continue to needle the line. From personal experience, having played halfback in college, we believe that the line is the most important part of a winning football team. Almost anyone can carry a baU and run. Not everyone can mix up things in the line, where it really gets rough, and still get their job done. It was a good football game. It wasn’t a win, but it’s over, so forget about that game and get ready for Garrett. The Railroaders have walked over Decatur for many years, and it’s about time the Jackets reverse the trend. It can be done, if there are eleven boys on the field who want it bad enough. High School Football Garrett 25, New Haven 14. Bluffton 13, Kendallville 7. Columbia City 7, Fort Wayne Concordia 0.

Dodgers Only Half Game Out Os Loop Lead By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International You can talk about the sunset in San Francisco, but that Moon in Los Angeles sure beats ’em all. When the sun came up today, the Dodgers found themselves only a half game out of first place in the National League and the man they can thank is Wally Moon. Moon smashed a pair of homers [that helped the Dodgers defeat I the Pirates, 5-4, in the opening . game of a twi-nighter Friday . night and then cracked a three- , run homer in a 4-0 nightcap vic- ( tory. The pair of victories brought the Dodgers' latest winning streak to five games and much too close for comfort to the faltering, firstplace Giants, who lost to the Phillies, 1-0. Broke Face’s Streak Los Angeles not only came from ; behind in the opener but also hung the first Bbfeat of the season on. relief ace Elroy Face, who had won 17 garths in a row this season and 22 straight dating back , to May 30th of last year. Robin Roberts shut out the Gi- . ants on three hits in scoring his 14th win for the last-place Phillies. The lone run of the game came off Mike McCormick in the seventh inning when Harry Anderson singled home Joe Koppe ' from second base. Milwaukee closed in to within a ' game of first place with a 10-2 victory over Cincinnati. Joey Jay , held the Reds to four hits in pitching the Braves to their sixth straight triumph. Bob Anderson won his 12th game for the Cubs by beating the Cardinals, 2-1, with a three-hit effort. The Cubs scored the winning run in the ninth on a wild pitch by reliever Marshall Bridges. 1 Orioles Sweep Chicago In the American League, the Orioles swept a twi-night doubleheader from the first-place White Sox, 3-0 and 1-0 in 16 innings: the Senators downed the Indians, 5-4; the Athletics ended a 13-game losing streak with an 8-6 victory over the Red Sox, and the Yankees topped the Tigers, 9-3. Jerry Walker and Jack Fisher, a pair of 20-year-old Oriole rookies, stopped the White Sox dead in their tracks. Walker pitched the entire 16 innings in the nightcap and gave up only six hits and three walks to earn his 11th victory the hard way. Fisher pitched perfect ball for 6 1-3 innings in the opener be- . fore Nellie Fox singled in the seventh. The White Sox collected only two more singles as Fisher registered his first major league victory. The two losses whittled the White Sox’ lead to four games, but even so their pennant-winning “magic number” was reduced to 10 by Cleveland’s loss to Washington. •' Julio Becquer, Washington’s - pinch hitter extraordinary, broke a 4-4 tie when he singled home the winning run in the eighth inning off Jack Harshman, who had just relieved loser Mike Garcia. Rookie Lou Klimchock’s two-run double started a six-run sixth-in-ning rally that gave the A’s their victory over the Red Sox. Bowling Scores Rural League W L Pts.

Colls Defeat Rams In Junior High Tilt In the junior high school foot* ball game at Worthman field Friday night, before the largest crowd of parents and friends in history of these games, the purpleclad Colts used-a variation of the game’s oldest play, scoring a 21-7 victory over the gold-shirted Rams in a hard-fought battle, sprinkled with good crisp line play and hard running backs. The old statue of liberty, now modernized and called an endaround, worked three times in four attempts to put the Colts in the scoring column and told the difference in the game. With the exception of these plays, the two teams battled block for block, tackle for tackle and run for run. The Rams used a more effective passing style of play with its running game pretty well throttled by the Colts’ linebackers. Elliott Scores Twice Max Elliott, Colt end, scored twice on the end-around and his running mate on the other side, Ken Riffle, toured the opposite side for the third Colt tally. Ed Kohne. Colt hard-chargin fullback, bucked over for two of the extra points and quarterback Johnny Custer sneaked one over for the third PAT. The Rams closed the gap at 14-7 in the third quarter on a pass play
