Decatur Yellow Jackets Open Football Card With 19-0 Victory Over Angola

Football returned with a bang to Decatur Tuesday night — the bang of shoulder pads—as the Decatur Yellow Jackets blocked and tackled their way to a 19-0 victory over the Angola Hornets at Worthman field. John Cowan scored two touchdowns, and Dennis Ahr added gravy to the Yellow Jacket banquet with another six-pointer. It was the first Decatur football victory since October 7, 1958, but from all indications, should not be the last. The Jackets suffered early in the game from early-season fumbleitis, but a tough Jacket line refused to crack, and Decatur came back strong against a game but out-played Angola eleven. It was a team victory, as any eleven men coach Bob Worthman put on the field looked and acted like they ‘‘came to play.” After receiving the Angola kickoff, the Jackets fumbled on the first play, and Angola recovered on the Decatur 39. The rough Decatur forward wall held the Hornets, though, and they punted to the Decatur 19. The rest of the first quarter was a case of Decatur fumble and then hold on defense. At the ena of the first period, the Jackets had managed to hold onto the ball long enough to have a second and five on the Angola 30. Decatur continued its drive as far as the Angola 12, but an illegal motion penalty put the Jackets back, and they lost the ball on downs on the Hornet nine. Again, the Jacket line came through. Angola managed one first down, and was then forced to punt. The center bounced the ball over the printer's head, and Tom Sharpe recovered the ball for Decatur on the Angola one-foot line. Cowan plunged over for the touchdown, and Tom Grabiil, who played a great game all night, powered over for the PAT. The rest of the half was an exchange of the ball. Angola got as far as the Jacket eight, but a seven-yard loss engineered by Steve Gause and the clock kept them out of the scoring column: The third quarter was a case of Decatur fumbles and penalties stifling every drive, and that hardcharging Jacket line doing the same to Angola's threats. At the end of the period. Bill Conrad rambled 17 yards to give the Jackets a first down on the Angola 38. Decatur managed seven more yards, but an intercepted pass ended another threat. Refusing to

crack, the Jackets up front stopped Angola again, and Decatur took over the ball on the Decatur 45. Grabiil scooted 14, Conrad seven, Grabiil 16, Ahr 16, and Cowan went the final two, to give Decatur a 13-0 lead. The Wbrthman charges were fired up now. Angola returned the ball to the 36. and on the next play John Cowan intercepted a Hornet pass, and Decatur had the ball on the visitors’ 42. Grabiil again went for nine, and then Dennis Ahr cut loose with the longest run for Decatur, as he barrelled for 28 yards to the Angola five. Two plays later, Ahr era bed over for the final touchdown. Angola managed one first down and then the clock ran out. The win makes Decatur’s record 1-0 for the season, and leaves Angola with an opposite record. For the first |ime, Angola games count in the conference standings, and last night’s win gives Decatur a good boost in the conference race. The next Decatur game will be against their old nemesis, the Auburn Red Devils, at Auburn for another conference game Friday at 8 p.m.

50-yard Line Flashes By Jack Heller You name him, and he played good football. That pretty well sums up a fine team effort by the Decatur Yellow Jackets last night. Just about everybody got into the act, and they all played as though they liked the game. And from the jubilation at the final whistle, there was no doubt about whether or not they liked the game. It is hard to mention any names, because the whole team did a great job. The backs were running hard and fast, and the line, the unhung heroes of any good football team, blocked, and blocked, and blocked again. On defense too, the linemen came through time and again. Tom Johnson personally accounted for a total of 23 yards of losses for Angola as he threw varied ball carriers for setbacks of seven, seven, five, two and two yards. And there's no doubt as to whether Bob Theobald likes football. Bob’s no giant, and he plays in there where the going gets pretty rough. But he blocked, and blocked hard. On play after play, he was downfield to block for the backfield men. That is what makes a good football team. In fact, some wiise person has said that 90 per cent of football is blocking and tackling. Last night was a good example of that. John Cowan, Ed Nelson, Dennis Ahr, Tom Grabiil, Bill Conrad and Dave Magley all took turns knocking down opposing players for their teammates. And the thing that gladdened the hearts of Decatur football fans was that these backfield men looked like they were having more fun Mocking for each other than they did carrying the ball.

Angola was no pushover, but the going doesn’t slow down for Decatur. The team will have to •be just as high for each game. Last night’s attitude was wonderful. If they can keep it, who knows how well they can play? There are some rough edges to smooth down. First game jitters accounted for some of the fumbling, and backfield tins mg was a i little off. but it wasn't because I anyone was waiting—it wag be- • cause they were anxious. Improvement should come', with time. After all, there are some boys on the team who are pretty young, experience wise, but they showed they were willing. If they are willing to practice between games as hard as they play, the 1960 version of the Decatur Yellow Jackets football team promises to be one we can all be proud of for many years. And, after the season is over, if they continue to work, no one will have any right to be prouder than the team. The Jackets rolled to 12 first downs, and Angola picked up five. Decatur’s passing attack was spotty, but it was never really needed, and there’s no doubt in anyone’s mind but 4 that John Cowan can throw the ball well, far and often if the need arises. The latest word of Cliff Ryan, Angola player hurt in die final period, is that he suffered a cracked pelvis. Initial x-rays failed to show a break, but later shots showed up the crack. It was a bad break for the game young player, but was not nearly as serious as the broken back some feared he might have suffered. Now, you stop and think about it, and Auburn isn’t too far. About an hour and a half, and you're in the stands, ready to cheer. The boys have shown they can, and will, play. Until they show different, the fans owe it to them to be there at the games. Like in AlSmithsville, Dad, “Happy Days Ate Here Again.’*

Player Awards Listed After Jackets'Win Tom Johnson and Tom Grabiil were named by a five-man Booster club committee late Tuesday night as the most valuable players in last night's rock-em-sock-em victory over the Angola Hornets. These two boys will be presented with certificates by coach Bob Worthman today recognizing their outstanding play in an outstanding team victory last night. Herb Magley, Steve Gause, Stu Knodel and Johnson will also receive certificates for making the most tackles in last night’s victory. All four boys played outstanding defensive games, making eight or nine tackles, plus being in on a lot of “gang” tackles. These certificate awards will be given by the Booster club after each game, naming the MVP and the boy who made the most tackles. At the end of the season, the most valuable for the season and the boy who made the most tackles during the season will be presented with trophies at the football banquet. Last night’s awards were tough to make as the victory was definitely a team victory. The committee, however, after working into the early hours of the morning, finally decided that Johnson and Grabiil stood out just a tiny bit more than the other boys. Johnson was terrific on defense and played a fine offensive game. He also received an award for making the most tackles, five of his tackles were made in Angola’s backfield, throwing the Hornets’ backs for about 23 yards of loss. Grabiil, playing his first game at halfback, was all over the field on offense, making beautiful, twisting runs, blocking and carrying out his fakes beautifully. He made some of the nicest runs seen around Decatur in a long time. The four boys who won the most tackles certificates Were the core of a hard-rock defense, making about 36 tackles among them, plus being in on about four or five three- and four-man tackles. Johnson and Knodel were defensive ends, Gause was a tackle and Magley was used mostly at middle i linebacker. These four, plus the rest of the defensive team, showed the Decatur fans some crisp and crunching tackling.

The committee, in singling out these boys for awards, said that the decisions, especially for MVP, were hard to come by. Last night’s victory was definitely a team victory which couldn’t have been achieved without the outstanding play of all the boys who were in the game. One of the committeemen stated though that, “It was a lot nicer making a hard decision in a team victory than singling out the boy who showed best in a losing cause.”
