Yellow Jackets Open ’ Season Friday Night Against Greyhounds

Decatur’s basketball Yellow Jackets showed much promise for the 1959-60 season in a preview Tuesday night, pointing to the varsity season’s opener Friday at Adams Central. The Paul Bevelhimer - coached Jackets showed good scoring potential but utilized only glimpses of a fast break, and that late in the three-quarter scrimmage. The accuracy of Denny Bollenbacher, Dave Clark, Jerry Rambo, and John Cowan showed to good advantage. Strength To Come With the insertion of the almost- <■ healed Jim Reidenbach in the line-up, the white team functioned much smoother as the ball handling of the fiery red-head set the pattern of play. The full time operation of Reidenbach and the return of Jim Gay under the bucket around the first of the year should give the Jackets high hopes at sectional time. The B-team showed several surprises, one being the hustling style of Kenny Bleee. The sharpshooting of Rudy Kleinknight, the generalship of Max Eichenauer, and the marksmanship of Bobby Walters headlined this attraction. Bleeke, who needs a little more polish, may turn desire and hustle into a berth on the varsity. Bill Conrad, a quick-stepping, driving ball player, and pivotman Steve Gause, led the purple-clad freshmen to a victory over the white-shirted counterparts. Conrad moves quite well on the floor, while Gause, not a terrific outside shooter, handles the pivot well as he feeds, rebounds, and can hit the short tosses under the bucket. A seventh grade standout stole the junior high glory as Max Elliott did everything but sweep out the gym after the session ended. Playing in good company, Elliott scored, rebounded, set up plays, and generally conducted his actions toward a winning performance. Not to be overlooked, were "the new cheerleaders. Performing for the first time, the freshman, Bteam and varsity gals came through in fine fashion. Mixer Follows The open house closed with an informal meeting of the parents of varsity players, the players, and coaches and faculty in the home economics room. Besides the opener Friday night at Adams Central, the varsity Jackets play 17 other games, besides the holiday tourney at

Pettit Counts Self Out Os Points Race

NEW YORK (UPI) — Bob Pettit, who set an all-time National Basketball Association scoring record last season, today counted himself out of the 1959-60 race which he predicted will be a three - cornered battle among Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor and Jack Twyman. “I think all three of them will average more than 30 points a game for the season and easily break my record,” said the St. Louis Hawks’ star who played his college ball at Louisiana State University. “I just can’t see myself beating any one of them. I think I reached my limit last season."

Pettit, a 6-foot, 9-ipch, 218 pounder with a velvety touch around the basket, averaged 29.2 points a game and scored 2,015 points last season—-both records—but has averaged “only” 245 points in the Hawks’ first eight games this year. He was held to a mere 11 points aS the New York Knickerbockers bent the Hawks, 105-97, Tuesday nignt. The Syracuse Nationals overcame a 38-point performance by Jack Twyman to down the Cincinnati Royals, 121-116, and the Boston Celtics scored a 132-129 double-overtime victory over the Detroit Pistons in, the other games Tuesday night. The victory was the Celtics’ 11th in 12 games. Chamberlain currently is averaging 37.1 points for the • Philadelphia Warriors, Baylor 34.3 fp the Minneapolis Lakers and Twyman 34.7 for the Royals — and Pettit thinks they’ll be that close at the end of the season. The Knicks, who snapped a fivegame losing streak, gained early 17-3 and 21-5 leads and held several leads better than 20 points in an easy win. Only an eyepopping shooting exhibition by Clyde Lovellette in the foyrtn period made the score close. Ken Sears scored 25 points and Richie Guerin 19 for the Knicks. Hie Nationals were led by Adolph Schayes’ 30 points plus double point-totals by four other players while Sam Jones scored six points in the second overtime to spark the Celttat. Jones and Bill Sharman eacflf jhad 28 points for Boston and Gene Shue had 35 for Detroit

Coifs Favored To Tie Frisco For Loop Lead By EARL WRIGHT United Press International The Baltimore Colts, defending National Football League champions, are favored to tie the San Francisco Forty-Niners for the Western Division lead when they clash in Sunday’s top game. The Colts (5-3) trail the FortyNiners (6-2) by a game and are seven-point favorites to whip the California club in Baltimore’s Memorial Stadium before a sellout crowd of 55,557. The New York Giants and Cleveland Browns, tied for the Eastern Division lead with 6-2 records, and the Philadelphia Eagles (5-3) are favored in the other key games. New York is a 5% point choice to down the Chicago Cardinals (34) at Minneapolis and the Browns are nine-point favorites to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-4-1) at Cleveland. The Eagles entertain the Los Angeles Rams (2-6) and are favored by 3% points In the other games? the Chicago Bears (4-4) are favored over the Lions (2-51) by five points at Detroit and the Packers (3-5) are four-point choices to defeat the Washington Redskins (3-5) at Green Bay. Four Games Remain Each of the 12 teams has four more regular-season games. The Forty-Niners are halfway through a tough, four-game road trip. They lifted their Western lead to two games by winning at Los Angeles but the margin dropped to one when they lost a 14-3 decision to the Bears last Sunday at Chicago. After playing at Baltimore, the Forty-Niners end their road swing at Cleveland. If they win at Baltimore, the Forty-Niners will assure themselves of at least a one-game lead going into their final two home games against the Colts and Packers. The passing of John Unitas will provide San Francisco’s biggest headache Sunday. The Baltimore star has thrown 22 touchdown passes this year, only six less than the NFL season high of 28 set by Sid Luckman of the Bears in 1943. The Colts have lost only two of their last 12 home games. Giants Seek Touchdown

Charley Conerly and George Shaw, New : York’s top quarterbacks, are injured but Conerly may 1 see some action against the Cardinals. The Giants, beaten by the Steelers last Sunday, haven’t scored a touchdown in the last 11 quarters they have played. They edged the Cardinals, 9-3, two weeks ago on three Pat Summerall field goals. The Browns entertain the Steeler squad that handed them a 17-7 defeat in their season opener. Cleveland boasts the league’s longest current winning streak, five games. Los Angeles takes a four-game losing streak to Philadelphia. The Eagles could tie ,for the Eastern lead by winning — if both New York and Cleveland lose. The Bears, third in the West, trail the Forty-Niners by two games and can cut that deficit to one if they beat the Lions and the Colts down San Francisco. The Redskins visit a Green Bay team that has lost its last five starts-

Last Indiana-Purdue Game In Old Stadium BLOOMINGTOM, fed. (UPD — Indiana and Pardue play their annual Old Oakan Bucket football game at Memorial Stadium for the last time Saturday — just 34 years to the day after the two teams dedicated the structure with their first Old Oaken Bucket game. I. U. expects to have its new stadium completed by the next football season and the present stadium will be used for track, intramural sports, R.O.T.’C. and oilier all-university events and assemblies.

Will Enlarge, Improve Track Al Worthman Decatur trackmen will be treated to a newly renovated, modified, and enlarged track next spring, according to a joint announcement from city school superintendent W. Guy Brown and coach Bob Worth* man. Under the direction of Harold Owens, engineer with the Meshberger Bros Construction Co., the addition to the former track area has begun and is expected to be completed this winter. The entire track surface will be surfaced with a chipped stone substance, replacing the old cinder track. Build A Better Track The reason for the renovation is to provide Decatur high school with better running conditions on the oval. In the past, a rain would turn the cinders into a “mush patch,” making for slower running , times. The new straight-away, which will be extended to the easterly alley of the Worthman field athletic plant, will be nearly 220 yards in length. It will cut through one of the obsolete tennis courts and

across 12th street, which was legally vacated some 25 years ago- 1 The straight-away will give Decatur a better defined course for all dash and hurdle events. In the 1 past, the finish lines for all the 1 races were at different spots on the track. With the new addition being used as a starting point, the 1 majority of all the races will con- 1 elude at one given spot on the course. A 1 Consistency Gained ( Because the former oval was 25 1 yards short of a quarter-mile, the , (Ustanct events were similarly fin- . ished at various points. The new straight-away will alleviate this condition, also. The width of the new track will also be broadened to allow better , facility for more teams and more ; contestants to enter each event. ; The hurdles, for example, will be run on the wider straight-away.

South Bend's Bears Hailed Grid Champions BY KURT FREUDENTHAL United Preu International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)— South Bend Central’s bruising Bears, “old pros” to their coach, today were hailed as mythical Indiana high school football champions for the second straight year. The United Press International coaches board agreed virtually unanimously that the NIHSC playoff champions, fortified with a 20game winning streak, were the best in Hoosierland. This was the 11th straight week that the South Benders paced the elite-nine times this season—but only the second time in seven years of the UPI coaches ratings that the state titlist repeated. Central wrapped up the crown in ankle-deep mud with a hardfought 14-7 triumphover 1955 winner and 1957 co-champion East Chicago Roosevelt at South Bend last Friday. Veteran fullback Joe Wesley splashed 80 yards for a fourth-period touchdown to keep Central’s string going. Field was “Lou y” “Playing conditions were lousy,” said Central coach Bob Jones, "but the kids did a real fine jbo—especially in the line where Roosevelt outweighed us.” Wesley and John West were members of last year’s backfield nucleus that powered Central through a 10-game scheduel, and they were tops this time. “We were in the same position this year as a millionaire with five million dollars,” explained Jones. “Our job was to keep going.” Jones said there were games this fall when Central, which polled nine of the 10 first-place votes and missed a clean sweep by a single point, let down some, but that was only natural-

“When the chips were down, they laid it on the line,” he said. "These kids have played a lot of football —I referred to them as old pros. They knew what they were doing.” East Chicago’s Pete Rucinski, who wanted a muddy field to stop South Bend’s feared ball carriers, paid tribute to both teams. Rucinski Lauds Both “South Bend Central has a great team,” he said. “We outplayed them in every department except score,. but the final score is the most important.” Rucinski referred to his club as “the greatest comeback team I have had in 26 years of coaching.” The Rough Riders dropped their season opener to Richmond, 27-14, then won their next eight games. Indianapolis Cathedral, which finished with its first 10 - game wining streak in history, climbed from fourth to second place in the final ratings. East Chicago Roosevelt dropped from second to third, Logansport from third to fourth, and Hobart climoed from seventh to fifth. The lower bracket, in order, was composed of Columbus, Evansville Memorial, Huntington and East Chicago Washington in eighth place, end Indianapolis Washington. x
