Yellow Jackets Handed 20-6 Loss Friday Night In Final Game Os Season

Decatur’s Yellow Jackets bowed to Concordia’s Cadets Friday night, 20-6, closing the 1959 football campaign for the local team. The Jackets faded to win a game, but their offense scored for the fourth time this season. Jay DeVoss hurled a strike to halfback Ed Nelson on a 27-yard toss with 8:14 left in the ball game. The touchdown put Decatur back in the game as Concordia led 13-6 at this tone. Poling Roams A bit of histronics by junior Dan Poling late in the waning minutes of the game almost jolted Decatur rooters from their seats. Cadet standout, Jerry Novak, faded to pass from the Decatur 30, hurled a long arching pass to the end zona where John Cowan batted the "ball toward the ground. Poling, however, found the ball in his grasp and looked like "Crazy Legs'” Hirsch as he alternately streaked' and dodged down the sidelines and up the middle of the field. He failed to get adequate blocking)tbowever, and was nailed at the Cohcordia 40 after toiling 60 yards. Decatur failed to count a first down jn the fir§t half and did not chalk pp one syitil Mike Thieme] burst over guard to his own 38yard line after the Jackets held the Cadets following the second half kick-off. The Jackets threw 16 times and connected on four and had two picket^-off, white Concordia tried 13, completing three and two were snipped. Decatur won the war of penalties as the Cadets received 81 yards in arrears to the Jackets 14. At one stage of the game, Concordia had third and 50 to go after several infractions and a good charge by the Jacket line set them on their heels. But, to start th* contest. Concordia got a good break when an official ruled a fumble on Jay DeVoss’ attempt to pass on his own 25. Guenther Rahden, an end, scooped up the pigskin and ran unmolested across the pay strip with play just starting in the second period. Novak obliged by jaunting around end for the PAT. Novak, by the way, obliged on numerous occasaions all night as he pressed for an aB-conferaece rating at halfback. He does everything on the Cadet team, quite well. Os course, Decatur played without Jims (Gay and Neidenbach). Both sat out their final high school football game because of severe injuries. Novak scored the second TD on a 23-yard sprint after bieng trapped backoon the Decatur 40. He picked his way through the Decatur tacklers like a man with a purpose. He failed to add the PAT, hardly enough to ruin his gocyl night, though. John Dickmeyer added the final marker sneaking over from the 2 after NoVak carried most of the 63-yards of the march in the last period after Decatur’s lone tally. Concordia' plays one more game, while Decatur finished with an 0-8 record. Hockey Results International League Milwaukee 4, Fort Wayne 3 (overtime). Louisville 4, Indianapolis 0.

DECATUR Continued from page on* of the ballot. The Indiana state election board has stated: "Upon consideration of this matter, it is our opinion that the Adams county election board does not have the power to remove said question from the ballot, since their function was only mandatory on placing it. It would seem that in order for the Adams county election board to either remove the question from the ballot or to instruct the inspectors in the various precincts to disregard the bottom portion of the ballot, that that it should first receive notification of some action in that regard from the common council of the city of Decatur, or that it be so directed by order of the Adams circuit court in which this proceeding is now pending.*’ Inasmuch as the statutes of the State of Indiana require that a summons be issued at least ter days prior to a return date, it would be wholly impossible to obtain a court decision in less than ten days, and, of course, that would be after the election. Therefore, since the Indiaha State Election Board has ruled only a Court decision or actioh by the common council of the City of Decatur, Indiana can resolve this question, we have referred the question to you rather than to the Adams circuit court. Inasmuch as there is so much confusion in regard to this matter we would appreciate it very much if the common council would advise us as quickly as possible whether or not the bottom portion of the ballot should either be removed or whether we should in structors in the various precincts to disregard the bottom portion of the ballot, or not. Since the election is November? 3. 1959, it is important that we receive a reply from you as quickly! as possible. , Respectfully sunmitted, ADAMS COUNTY, INDIANA ELECTION BOARD (signed Mrs. Edith Beer Richard D. Lewton Cal E. Peterson State Board’s Feelings The decision of the election board was formed in part from r decision of one member of the state election board, James E Uoland, whose letter, dated Friday, from Indianapolis, to Robert S. Anderson, county attorney, and treasurer of the Decatur Republican committee, reads as follows: , Dear Mr. Anderson: I am in receipt of your letter of October 29, 1959, in which yo l present the question as to what action should be taken by the county election board in respect to a special referendum which is contained on the regular ballot to be voter’ on in the city election. In your letter, you state that toe “yes” or “no” vote on whether the Decatur municipal electric utility system is to be sold is now a moot question because appraisers appointed by the court have appraised toe city light plant above the offer made by a private utility company. Your letter further states, an» the sample ballot shows, that the “yes" or “no” question on toe special ordinance has been placed on toe regular ballot by action of toe common council on June 16, 1959. Upon consideration of this matter, it is our opinion that toe Adams county election board does not have the power to remove such question from the ballot since their function was only ministerial in placing it there. It would seem that in order for the Adams county election board to either remove the question from the ballot or to instruct the inspectors in the various precincts to disregard toe bottom portion of the ballot, that it could do so only by request of the common council or by order of toe Adams circuit court in which this proceeding is now pending. Assuming that some action is taken by either the common council or the Adams circuit court which would result in disregarding the bottom portion of toe ballpt, then I think it would be encumbent upon election officials to follow the regular rules in tallying the vote and determining which ballots should be counted. I trust this answers your question, but, if not, would be glad to discuss it further with you at any time. Very truly yours. James E. Noland Member Indiana State Election Board Pro basketball Syracuse 136, Cincinnati 127. Over 2,500 Dally Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day.

S. restaurants are strictly family operations where there are no personnel other than the proprietor and his wife, and perhaps a son or daughter. (Unquote). V - Why should Decatur, Indiana, with only 8,000 or so population rate one of the first 5 per cent of the country’s largest and finest restaurants? To give credit to the management for the success of this operation would certainly raise a dubious eyebrow or two. There are ONLY TWO GOOD REASONS for this outstanding feat — first, the 56 Fairway employees whose loyalty, experience and hard work has more than done its share; and the second reason is clearly explained in the following paragraphs Which appear on the Fairway menu and have been read millions of times J • ■ •• by persons from every state in the Union: < - “Decatur, a growing city, the home of diversified industries, situated in one of the richest agricultural regions in the world,: populated by industrious and democratic people in a community which needs no paid department to advertise its worth, is the “Finest City” in the Midwest. “Decatur has a national reputation for being one of the most progressive, prosperous and modern cities of its size in the United States today. While not the largest, Decatur is one of the best cities in the middle west, regardless of size, and it owes its singular position to a happy combination of thriving industries, a cooperative civic spirit and a county more than ordinarily fertile in soil and rich in the progressiveness of the farmers.” * - • The Fairway Restaurant HIGHWAYS 27-33-224
