YELLOW JACKETS Discounting the usual 10 points: for home court advantage, the Decatur Yellow Jackets lost a' one-point ball game at Kendall-' ville Friday night. In reality, the' score was 50-39. but in losing the Jackets may have found a much needed spark Coach Paul Bevelhimer almoat came up with five boys, who appeared as if they fully understood! the reason for being out on the | floor. At various times, he had, combinations of four, but could never get five working as a unit | Unfortunately. Decatur played j moat of the game with three. Eichenauer Sparks Defense As surprise starters, senior Jim Gay and sophomore Max Eichenauer. showed enough finesse to| provide the Jacket defense with a strong foundation. Eichenauer i sparkled in this department get-j ting most of the 11 stolen balls, snaring four rebounds, and generally harassing the opposition. He had one guy so infuriated that a technical foul was called on a Komet player. Gay. who has been sidelined with a fractured bone in his foot, played a rugged board game, in his first game of the year, but was a bit rough around the edges. This will become polished play after a few more games are under the belt. With the exception of the third quarter, when they scored only five points, the Jackets looked like they had a ball game won. They took down 35 rebounds to Kendallville's 20. led by two points at the first quarter and were down by a point at the half. But the shooters, with the exception of John Cowan, were like the weather— really cold. Netting only 12 of 50 shots, the Jackets averaged 240. Kendallville hit 365 with 19 of 52. The second half zone defense stymied t h e Jackets after they made a sieve of it in the first half. Nine second half errors contributed to tne game total of 13. Kendallville committed a total of nine, six in the second half of play. They only had five steals to go along with it.

Cowan Leads Jackets Cowan who canned seven buckets. mainly on self-made screens or drive-ins. totalling game high of 23 points, also collected 12 of the 35 rebounds to lead that department as well. He also played a steady game; scoring rebounding. and passing off well throughout the game. In past games, he has .looked spotty, although scoring well. Decatur now stands 1-5 m the NEIC while Kendallville evened up at 3-3. The Jackets next play a? Angola next Friday and they entertain Huntington here Saturday night.

NFL Owners Deadlocked On New President

MIAMI BEACH (UPD — If the squabbling National Football League owners are unable to elect a new commissioner this week end, it’s a good bet they will elect to pack up and go home without taking up an expansion proposal. Stalemated for three days in an effort to elect a successor to the late Bert Bell, several owners said they were ready to agree on a motion to recess for a ‘‘cooling off” period of a month or more on the two controversial issues they came here to resolve. The strife-torn owners meet again today but there appeared no prospect that the supporters of San Francisco attorney Marshall Leahy or interim commissioner Austin Gunsel would break the deadlock that has existed since they began balloting Wednesday. * Although the names of several compromise candidates were suggested during Friday’s fruitless sessions, none was seriously considered. ‘ Another proposal that Gunsel, the former FBI agent who has served as league treasurer for seven years, be elected on a oneyear “trial” basis also met with little enthusiasm from Leahy £orccs» ■ - _ . So adamant were the supporters on each side that the issue became a matter of “face-saving.” George Preston Marshall of the Washington Redskins, one of the pioneers in the NFL, said the controversy over the office was reminiscent of the bitter contention that accompanied the election of Elmer Layden in 1941. It was deemed almost certain that the owners never would begin a discussion of expansion until they first elected a new commissioner.
