Neither team ’did much shooting in the second quarter, but the Jackets increased their margin to six points at the halftime rest, 30-24. Decatur boosted its advantage to 11 points at 41-30 about midway through the third quarter, but Berne’s superior height and weight gradually began to tell, particularly on offensive rebounding, and the Bears had the Decatur lead trimmed to five points. 47-42, as the teams entered the final bracket of play. Berne took its first lead at’ 50-49 with 4:15 to go in the last quarter on a long heave by Stan Augsburger.

COMMODORES Adams Centrals Greyhounds took comfortable refuge in the friendly confines of their home gym, winning their fourth ball game of six tries this season, three of them at home, over Decatur Catholic's Commodores. Larry Foreman stood head and shoulders over anyone on the floor Friday night .as he played his best game of the year: While scoring only 19 points, he defended both backboards, and blocked numerous shots from the Commodore pivot. Sleeper Wakes Them Up A sleeper offense by the Commodores almost put the whammy on the Greyhounds as the contest for the first few minutes was nip and tuck. It was pretty hard for the Greyhounds to set their offense while looking over their shouldes at the county's leading scorer last year. Commodore Don Baker played the sleeper while’ the four other players zoned the Greyhounds quite effectively. But then the equalized took hold. The whistles began blowing and before you knew it. five of the Commodore players had two fouls each. At the half, six fouls were blown on Adams Central and 10 on the Commodores, excluding one technical foul. Balanced Scoring Attack A well-paced scoring attack by the Greyhounds pushed them into a 10-point lead at the half as Foreman tallied 12 of his 19 points. They added 17 in the third quarter to lead 52 to 36 as DCHS onlv netted 11. The Commodores closed strongly with their reserves playing out the clock, garnering 17 points, but the Greyhounds even topped this with 20 of their own for the 19-point vitcory. Coach Al Lindahl’s boys dropped the fourth of six games this year. They next meet Hoagland here Dec. 15. Chester Center meets the Greyhounds Dec. 8 at the Adams Central fortress.

Colts Seeking 1 To Break Jinx I On West Coast < By EARL WRIGHT United Press InternsUonsl Can the “new” Baltimore Colts c shatter one of the longest jinxes « in sports history? A capacity crowd of nearly 60,- ’ 000 at San Francisco’s Kezar Stadium and thousands of TV quar- i terbacks will get the answer today when the Colts tackle the 1 Forty-Niners. 5 The two clubs are tied for the 1 1 National Football League’s West- < ern Division lead. The winner will * jump a game ahead with only one • to play and clinch at least a tie for the division crown. But can the Colts, defending di- * vision and League champions, » smash a 12-year hoodoo? They * haven’t won a game at San Francisco since they begn playing pro football in the old All-Ameri- • ca Conference in 1947. Nary a Win ini Frisco The Colts have played at San ' Francisco 11 times (three regular ' ■ season games and an exhibition 1 in the AAC and seven regular season games in the NFL. I and . still haven’t left the town with a . victory or even a tie. I But the new Colts have more ' kick. They have football’s top passer in John Unitas, three of its best receivers in Raymond J Berry, Lenny Moore and Jim • Mutscheller, one of its best full- 1 {backs in Alan Ameche and a ■ strong defense led by Gino MarIchetti, Art Donovan and Big Dad,dy Lipscomb. I The oddsmakers, who operate ' with about as much sentiment as a starved tiger, agree with Baltimore's fans. They tab the Colts 5% point favorites to snap that jinx. Carroll Rosenbloom, president and major stockholder of the ■ Colts, seemed most impressed by San Francisco's 21 -20 triumph over the Browns last Sunday at Cleveland. . “The Forty-Niners got whipped badly in Baltimore and then bounced back to beat the best team in the country,” Rosenbloom said. Giants Can Clinch East Just what this makes the New York Giants, who lead the Browns by two games in the Eastern race, is any pro football addict’s guess. But an answer may pop up Sunday when the Giants entertain the Brownies. New York needs T; victory or tie to clinch its second straight Eastern title and is a four-point favorite. This game has been a sellout for weeks and nearly 70.000 persons are expected to jam Yankee Stadium to see if the Giants can boost their victory string against Cleveland to five games. These two clubs have won all the Eastern titles since 1950 with Cleve-, land taking seven and New York i The Philadelphia Eagles, tied I with Cleveland for second place, are 2% point favorites over the Redskins at Washington. But with the Eagles and Browns will be finished unless Cleveland wins In Sunday’s other games, tne Chicago Bears are favored over the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers by seven points, the Rams are favored over the Green Bay Packers by 5% at Los Angeles and the Lions are four-point choices to defeat the Chicago Cardinals at Detroit. The Bears are one game behind Baltimore and San r rancisco in the Western Division.

Church Choir Singer Is Slain By Youth

ST. LOUIS (UPD—A mentally, retarded teen-ager who wanted to “fit into the gang” was held today for the fatal knifing of a church choir singer. Robert L. Brown told police he stabbed Mildred MoeUer, 41, Nov. 5 because a 19-year-old girl wouldn’t date him until he proved he was , “bad.” Brown, an illiterate, said the girl and a teen-age friend egged 1 him into the robbery-slaying by, calling him a “mama’s boy.” Brown said the girl arranged; for the other youth to drive him ■ to the church where Miss Moeller had been singing. “I thought I was doing a big job,” he said. “I thought it was going to be a church. We were riding around and we spotted this women.” The other boy caught Miss Moeller’s attention and Brown said he got out of the car and tried to snatch her purse.

Gene Fullmer Easy Winner Against Webb LOGAN, Uth (UPD — Gene Fullmer, a lop-sided victor over challenged Spider Webb, announced today he was willing to "defend” his"NBA version of the world middleweight crown against Sugar Ray Robinson for a good guarantee. Fullmer of West Jordan, Utah, cleaned up the NBA’s required defense Friday night by bludgeoning out a unanimous 15-round decision over Webb of Chicago in the Utah State Universiy’s fieldhouse. It was a return bout. Bullshouldered Gene had won a unanimous 10-round verdict over lanky Webb at Salt Lake City on Sept. 11, 1958. Hooked Wildly to Win Friday night. Gene — weighing 159% pounds to Webb’s 157%— used a counter attack of wild hooks to win impressively The three ring officials favored Gene on a 10-point must basis as follows: Referee Ken Shulsen, 147 - 141; judge Del Markham, 148-136. and judge Boyd Martinson, 150-132. 8 Co-promoter Norman Rothschild estimated the crowd at 7,000 and the gate at $90,000. Many of the spectators int he large gymnasium booed the decision. MarV - Fullmei*S manager, insisted the booers were student-admirers of Webb from Idaho State College at Pocatello. Webb, a former ISC student, trained at the college for Friday night’s fight. Writers Favor Fullmer Because of the booing, the United Press International took a poll of 12 sports writers at the ringside. Eleven had Fullmer winning. Only one had Webb ahead. The UPl's scoresheet favored Fullmer, 146-140.

It was a rousing fight at times but occasionally dull. In the 10th there was scattered booing because . Webb refused to lead into the champion, and Webb even motioned with his gloves for Gene ■ to come in and fight. j But Fullmer, wearing the NBA , crown, figured it was Webb’s job , to come and get the title if he , wanted to. Gene used plunging and swarming tactics as countermeasures when Webb came in. However, at times, Fullmer did take the lead and went swinging! after the challenger with wild hooks that holted and shook the Spider when they landed.
