W " 1,111 " T ' 11 ' 1 ' Decatur Yellow Jackets Defeated By New Haven By 20-6 Friday Night _ —; -*»-

By Bob Shraluka Although losing their third game of the season without a victory, the pecatur Yellow Jackets showed njarked improvement Friday in losing a 20-6 contest to the New Haven Bulldogs at Worthman Field Friday evening. After New Haven scored early in the first quarter and late in the second quarter, the Yellow Jackets battled the two-time NEIC champs on even terms in the second half. The loss was the third of the season for Decatur without a win, and one tie. New Haven wasted no time in taking a 7-0 lead in the hard-fought game, as the Bulldogs scored the first time they got possession of the ball, using only five plays from scrimmage. New Haven kicked off to open the affair, Max Elliott returning the boot to the Decatur 33-yard line. On the first play of the game, Ron Thieme shot around his left side and went to the Decatur i 49 yard line before being hauled down. Drive Halted Hie drive bogged down, however, and an 18 yard loss on an attempted pass forced Jim Martin to punt from his own 32. The ball was downed on the Decatur 44, with the Bulldogs taking possession. The Bulldogs sent 176-pound Steve Hobbs through the line on a fourth and one situation, and the j big fullback bulled his way to the Decatur 25 yard line. Hobbs picked up the remaining 25 yards in the next play, barging I off tackle and into the end zone, and also plunged for the extra point. With the game only four minutes and 59 second old, the Bulldogs held a seven point lead and'appeared on their way to a romp. Costly Fumble But the Jackets had different ideas. Beginning from their own 28 yard marker, after the kickoff, the Decatur boys marched 61 yards to the New Haven 1, before a bad center pass cost them possession of the football. Sophomore halfback Max Elliott. picked up 27 yards in the drive, and a Dave Gay to Jim Martin pass ate NO NEED TO GUESS As To The Amount Os READYMIXED CONCRETE You Will Need.

s up another 12 yards. The Bulldogs began a march that [ ran btft of gas on the Decatur 31 J when Martin threw Murphy for a loss and Elliott batted down a pass, forcing New Haven to punt. The Jackets were unable to move after the kick, though, and were also forced to punt with the runner downed by Manny Ybarra on the Decatur 44. The Bulldogs needed only six plays to score, Hobbs ramming his way over from the 12-yard stripe. Tom. Maddox stopped Lippott on the extra point and New Haven held-a 13-0 lead. Decatur put on another sustained drive, and a pass to Martin gave them first down on the N e w Haven 10, but an illegal procedure penalty nullified the play. Near-disaster was averted when the clock ran out on the Bulldogs at the half, after a long pass took the NEIC champs to the Decatur two. Score Quickly As in the first half, New Haven scored the first time they got the ball in the second half, beginning on their own 35-yard line where Murphy was hauled down with the kickoff. Murphy scampered all the way from his own 45 to the Decatur four yard line on the fourth play, but a clipping play nullified the* gain and sent the Bulldogs back to their half of the field. The two-time champs were not to be denied, however, and continued their march after an exchange of the ball with Emerick capping the drive when he scooted through the line from four yards out with the fourth quarter less than two minutes old. Rich Lippott plunged through the. line for the extra point, and the two-time conference champs held a 20-0 lead. Combination Works Dave Anspaugh took over the ouarterbacking duties and Dave Gay moved back to halfback, and the combination paid off immediately, as the Jackets moved the pigskin to the New Haven 28. before an intercepted pass ended the drive. The Yellow Jackets refused to i give up, and when Steve Gause intercepted a short pass on the Decatur 27 with 1:55 to play, the Jackets were on their way to paydirt. Two passes to Martin and a screen pass to Gay gave Decatur a second and five situation on the New Haven 45. Elliott flanked to the right side on the next play, and Ansnaugh faked a short pass to him. With the fake, Elliott shot behind his defender and Ansnaugh laid the ball in his hands with a perfect pass, and the sneedy halfback wasted no time in scooting idrivein THEATER SUNDAY ONLY True Spy Story—COLOß! “COUNTERFEIT TRAITOR” Wm.

into the New Haven end zone. The try for the point was stopped, but the Jackets had proved they wouldn’t quit and the contest ended 50 seconds later with New Haven taking their second conference victory. New Haven piled up a total of 15 first downs, only one less than the Yellow Jackets total of 14. Decatur played without Dave Beery, and Dave Magley, Magiey was out of uniform with pulled ligaments in his ankle.

Dodgers' Lead Is Reduced To Three Games By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer If you missed their first “miracle” in 1951, stick around, because the Giants might just repeat it for the benefit of the West Coast. - — - The conditions are virtually the same as they were 11 years ago, the only major difference being that the Giants are operating out of San Francisco now instead of New York. With eight games left to play in 1951, the Giants were three games behind the league-leading Dodgers. And with eight games remaining this season, the Giants are in exactly the same position. They cut the Dodgers’ lead to three games Friday night when Willie Mays led an 18-hit attack that crushed Houston, 11-5, after the St. Louis Cardinals walloped Los Angeles, 11-2. It was 11 years ago today that the Giants launched a seven-game winning streak (after losing the first of their last eight games) to finish in a flat-footed tie with the Dodgers, who dropped four of their final eight. Then came the playoff, Bobby Thomson’s homer and that miraclp pennant forthe Giants., Gets Four Hits Mays, who was just a rookie with the 1951 club, drove in three runs against the Colts Friday night with a double and three singles in the Giants’ highest hit total of the year. Gaylord Perry scored his third victory of the season, going 8 2-3 innings before Stu Miller came on to retire the last batter. Maury Wills stole his 95th base of the season but it was one of ( the relatively few bright spots for the Dodgers, who watched the Cardinals rout their southpaw ace, Sandy Koufax, with a four-run burst in the first inning. Koufax, testing his ailing finger for the first time since July 17, faced only seven batters, four of whom he walked. Charlie James supplied the crusher with a grand slam off Koufax, who was charged with his sixth loss against 14 victories. The Cards rubbed salt in the wound by scoring seven more runs in the sixth to make it a breeze for southpaw Curt Simmons, who hurled a five-hitter for his ninth victory. There wasn’t much joy for the Cardinals even though they won because / Bob Gibson suffered a fractured right ankle during batting practice. Gibson, a 15-game winner, had been slated to pitch Friday Needs One More Wills stole his 95th base in the sixth inning, leaving him one shy of Ty Cobb’s record of 96. Friday night marked the Dodgers’ 154th game; Cobb set his mark in 156 games (two of which were ties) within a 154-game season. Ford Frick will have to make a decision of some sort if Wills steals either one or two more bases in the next two games.

50-Yard Line Flashes By Bob Shraluka It wasn’t a victory, but it sure shows what these guys can do when they want to! Granted, New Haven wasn't as powerful as last year, and Decatur had some bad plays and costly mistakes, but a 20-6 defeat at the hands of the Bulldogs is far from a bad showing. With more students in their freshman class than Decatur has in the entire high school, New Haven should have a better football team than Decatur. Take out the first five minutes of the game and New Haven would have had only a 13-6 victory, which is none too impressive. In fact, that first five minutes and a brief letdown after a fumbld on a punt was the difference between losing and an outstanding upset for the Yellow Jackets, who weren't given much of a chance against those ’Dogs. Although there were times when it looked bad, Decatur’s defense showed what it could do last night. Led by Steve Gause, Steve Hazelwood and Roger Conrad, the Jacket defensive looked real outstanding at various times during the game. Gause, moved back to the middle linebacker post, was outstanding on defense, leading the team in tackles. Hazelwood played his best ball of the season and is getting valuable experience. The big fellow seems to be getting better with each ball game. Conrad, not expected to be playing much this season when practice began, has worked his way into the starting lineup and really played a tremendous all-around game. Not too big, the senior fireball has a lot of that old intestinal fortitude and made some crunching tackles Friday night. A number of boys got in more playing time than usual last night, and quite a few responded with some outstanding plays. Dick Ortiz did some fine running from a halfback spot; Dave Wynn did an outstanding job on defense in his first varsity competition; Greg Ladd threw hard-run-ning Rich Lippott for a four-yard loss in front of the Yellow Jacket bench; Sam Baumann came off the i bench and saved a touchdown by hauling down Murphy who was breaking away on the kickoff after the Decatur score. Freshman Sam Blythe was sent i into the game in the second quari ter and responded with a tackle on i the next play, and made three tackles in all. Os the entire bunch, however, sophomore Dave Anspaugh was the shining star. In directing the team during the final quarter, he attempted nine passes and completed seven.’with a beautiful job of faking and passing to Max Elliott for the lone Decatur score of the evening. With Anspaugh playing quarterback, Dave Gay moved to a halfback post and did some real fine running, in addition to his usual fine job at defensive halfback. Which brings up a point. To some of those who have been knocking the job Gay has been doing as quarterback, remember this is a guy who has been playing the line since his junior high days. When you think about how little experience he has at the most important spot on the team—he has been doing a sensational job. Jim Martin did some outstanding pass catching work last night, and Max Elliott ran harder than he has all season. Portland is next Friday. Let’s hope that 0-8-1 prediction goes out the window after the Portland game. In fact, this writer offers a challenge to the Decatur football team. If that prediction does go awry Friday night the guy whose name you read under “50-yard-line flashes” will EAT HIS WORDS in the clubhouse after the game. Can you db it Yellow Jackets?

Pressure On Three NFL Teams Sunday UPI Sports Writer There is some unusual earlyseason pressure on the San Fran cisco Forty Niners, New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles to win-or-else Sunday in the National Football League. Each of these clubs will be out to stave off a second straight defeat. Because of the rigors of the NFL schedule, an 0-2 record 'could drop any of these teams out of serious contention tor the , division titles at an early stage. The Giants play the Eagles at Philadelphia on the second weekend of the round-robin rat-race ’ that could kill off at least one of the Eastern Division’s three leading teams by the following Sunday. New York is favored by 3 points. And the Forty Niners are in Detroit for a battle with the ' Lions, who put on the most devastating offense of the opening weekend under their new quarterback, Milt Plum. Detroit is ; - the choice by 7 points. Odds On Others Here is the “line" on Sunday’s other NFL games: .

bovs at Dallas. Plum, happy to be away from Cleveland coach Paul Brown’s rigid reign, demonstrated Sunday that he can play better In unfettered surroundings. He hit on 21 of 30 passes tor 251 yards and three touchdowns against the Steelers i n what Detroit coach George Wilson called a “perfect game." .j Wilson, however, fears the unpredictable Forty N iners. They now have won in Detroit three straight Reasons, including last year's 49-0 rout. Both teams are in top shape. Coaches Al Sherman of the Giants and Nick Skoricy of the Eagles both planned some changes to beef up the offense and-or to counter-act tapries. Push Rookie Bafik Sherman said he planted to use Paul Du(|ley, a rookie’speedboy from Arkansas, as much as possible at r unning halfbadk. “We are pushing Dudley as fast as we can,” Sherman said, “because he has an exceptionally fast takeoff." Dudley was acquired in a trade with the Packers just before the season began. The Giants also will., have to make sortie switches to 'replace Roosevelt Brown, All-League offensive tackle, and rookie linebacker Bill Winter, both injured. And if Y. A. Tittle’s gimpy knee bothers him, Ralph Guglielmi will get his chance at quarterback. Skorich said he planned to replace a few players in the offensive line who “are not playing up to their potential." The Eagles gained only 28 yards on the ground in losing to the Cards last Sunday. Skorich feels his quarterback Sonny Jurgensen, is in peak form, despite a bruised knuckle on his left (non-throwing) hand. High School Football Columbia City 39, Bluffton 13. Auburn 14, Angola 13.
