Expansion Os Baseball For Boys Os City And County Revealed Today

By Pete Reynolds (Sports Editor) An expanded program of baseball opportunities for the boys of Decatur and Adams county was revealed today in an interview with R. O. Wynn, president of the Adams county Pony League, and for years one of Decatur’s most ardent supporters of recreational activities for youth. Rube, as he is affectionately known by boys ana men alike for his unceasing devotion to better recreational facilities and programs for our youngsters, has been one of the spearheads of the baseball program far boys, from the ages of nine right on up through and beyond their high school careers. Rube, along with the writer, and many other youth-minded men of the community, has been in on the ground floor of the baseball program for youngsters since the inception of the fine Little League program some eight years ago. So it is only fitting that Rube should be the man happy to announce the program expansion today. Expand Pony League The Adams county Pony League will be expanded to eight teams for the 1961 season, with the addition of a third team in Decatur and the inclusion of Pleasant Mills in the county program. -The city's third Pony League team will enable 16 more 13 and 14-year-old boys of the city to continue play after they have exceeded the Little League age limit. These three teams should well take care of the boys who really love to play the national pastime. Addition of Pleasant Mills will make the county league a wellbalanced, eight-team loop, along with the three Decatur teams, Monroe, Monmouth, Berne and Geneva. Further plans for this league, along with other matters, will be discussed at a meeting of the Decatur Little 'League, called by L. E. Beal. Little president, for next Wednesday evening at 7:30 o’clock at the city hall. Decatur's Little League and Pony League teams are operated under joint supervision, and all financed through the generosity of Decatur business men, industries and indi-

viduals, who all view the program as a great investment for the city’s future. High School League Wynn, while busily working cm details to expand the Pony League program, has also been highly instrumental in working with school officials throughout the county in recent weeks, and today was able to announce formation of a High School league which will begin operation during the summer of 1961. The seven high schools in the county which field baseball teams during the regular school year, will be represented in next summer’s league. These seven schools are Decatur, Decatur Catholic, Adams Central, Monmouth, Pleasant Mills, Berne and Geneva. Hartford Center high does not compete in baseball. This league also may be expanded, as Bryant, Lancaster Central and Wlilshire, 0., have shown definite interest in joining such a league next year. Other area schools which have also indicated interest include Hoagland, Monroeville and Convoy, O. Details will be worked out at a meeting early this fall. Morning League Teams Continuation of the Morning league at Worthman field, started again last June after a lapse of several years, is also planned next year. The Morning league is made up of so-called farm teams of the Little League, and is made up principally of nine and 10-year-old boys who just failed to make the six parent teams. The Morning league is supervised by Bob Worthman and Bill McColly, Decatur high school coaches and summer recreation supervisors at Worthman field under the Decatur public school system. Kohne Batting Champ Along with the plans for expansion, Wynn also found time to announce that Edward Kohne, a member of the league champion Decatur Braves during the past season, won the county Pony League batting championship with a terrific average of .608 for the 1960 season. Kohne, a member of the Decatur Commodores varsity team this fall, will be awarded a certificate for the batting championship by the Louisville Slugger Co. The Braves won the league title with an 11-4 season mark. The final standings: W L Pct.

It was the fourth victory in five games for the Commodores, who lost only to Berne, the county champions. Both teams scored three runs in the first inning, Adams Central on one hit and the Commodores on two.

Big Ten Teams Turn To Loop Play Saturday

CHICAGO (UPD—Big Ten football teams, after the second most successful opening day in history —six wins and two ties—-turn to conference warfare Saturday with two league contests and a third pseudo-league game slated. Minnesota, a surprise victor over Nebraska in its opener, entertains Indiana in the “no count” game which could be one of the closest clashes of the day. K does not rate in Big Ten standings due to a conference penalty imposed on the Hoosiers for recruiting violations. The legitimate conference matches move lowa to Northwestern and Michigan to Michigan State. All three of the games involving conference clubs were close to even in odds. Minnesota was a touchdown favorite. Wildcats Slight Favorites Northwestern opened as a 4point choice over lowa but, due to the loss of quarterback Dick Thornton, the game probably will be even by the kickoff. Coach Ara Parseghian plans to start little Bob Eickhoff to replace his No. 1 signal calling star. Eickhoff can run the same Versatile offense that Parseghian planned to use with .Thornton. After lowa’s 22-12 opening day win over Oregon State, there was no question of the strength of the Hawkeye offense, sparked by junior quarterback Wilburn Hollis. But Coach Forest Evashevski was not pleased with his defense, an said inexperience might be harmful against Northwestern. Michigan, though relying upon many sophomores, was a onetouchdown favorite to trim Michigan State, largely because the Wolverines downed Oregon easily in the opening game while Michigan State earned only a tie against Pittsburgh. Sophomores Under Pressure But Coach Bump Elliott of the Wolverines will have to depend on sophomores for his offense again and they could be susceptible to pressure in a conference contest. Michigan State boasts experienced hwnds at nearly every position and Coach Duffy Daugherty hoped they could cure the mistakes they made in the Pitt opener. Purdue visits a neighborhood rival. Notre Dame, and the Irish, winners over California in the opener, were a 2-point favorite over the Boilermakers, who tied UCLA in the first game. But in the past 10 years, the home team has won only twice in the annual series, a psychological edge for Purdue. Other non-conference games are Southern California, beaten twice in as many starts, at Ohio State with the Buckeyes an 11-point choice; West Virginia at Illinois with the Illini favored by 26 ponts, and Marquette at Wisconsin, with the Badgers a twotouchdown choice.

High School Bond To Maneuver Tonight The Decatur high school band will do a maneuver between halves at the Decatur-Portland football game tonight. Its maneuver is concerned with the forthcoming election. The newly organized twirling corps will be featured tonight for the first time. If any parents are Interested in having their children attend the young people’s concerts in Fort Wayne, they should contact either Clint Reed or Ernie Atkins at the Decatur Music House? Igor Buketoff is the conductor of these young people’s concerts. He has also conducted the New York Philharmonic young people’s concerts. Jackets Meet Portland Here This Evening Decatur’s Yellow Jackets wig try to get back on the victory trail at Worthman field in Decatur tonight when they entertain the Portland Panthers in a non-confer-ence battle. The Panthers will be on the same scale as the New Haven Bulldogs, small, speedy and rough. Their line, with the exception of Dick Martin, a 228 pound tackle, will be small and hard-charging. The backfield will feature one of the area’s best in 170-pound halfback Dave Penrod. who is on the order of New Haven’s Doty. The Panthers also possess a fine quarterback, Steve Takats. Takats can fake, run. and pass with the best .of them and has two outstanding targets in ends Jerry Puckett and Dave McClung. The Jackets will have their biggest battle with themselves, trying to get back on their feet after that walloping they suffered at the hands of New Haven last week. Some of the players have indicated, though, that the loss is forgotten and the team will be ready to rebound in a big way tonight. They should be well accustomed to the Portland style of play as it will be much the same as New Haven’s. A contributing factor to that loss last week was that the Jackets ran up against a small, hard-charging team after playing Garrett the week before, just the opposite, with a huge line that was slow and didn't charge at all. This will be the second game in a row for the Jackets against a team that knows how to charge, block hard, tackle low and has a hard running backfield. The Jackets learned a lesson last week in how to block and tackle and tonight will be the night to determine whether or not they learned their lesson well.
