Concordia Cadets Defeat Yellow Jackets; Capture Conference Championship

By Bob Shraluka * The Decatur Yelow Jackets ran up against one of the strongest teams in the Northeastern Indiana area Wednesday evening in the Cadets of Fort Wayne Concordia, and were sent reeling to a 44-7 defeat in their season finale. The victory clinched the championship of the Northeastern Indiana Conference for the Cadets, as Garrett played Auburn to a 19-19 standstill on the Railroaders' field. Concordia, definitely the strongest club in the NEIC, thus finished with a 5-0-1 record, as compared to Auburn’s 4-0-1. Finish .500 Coach Bob Worthman’s Yellow Jackets split their season right down the middle with four wins, four losses and a tie, The Jackets gave the Cadets plenty of trouble for the first half last night, and with a few breaks going their way, could have been leading at halftime, but instead found themselves trailing 19-7 at the half. The Cadets, a huge team with tremendous speed, wasted no time in denting the scoring column. Decatur received the kickoff and marched to Concordia 41 when Dave Anspaugh flipped a pass to flanker Max Elliott. The drive halted there, however, and Concordia took over and needed only four plays to score, halfback Tom Steinhauser scooting 39 yards for the score. The Cadets had scored two plays earlier but the tremendous faking of quarterback Tom Baack prevented the TD. On an identical play as the one Steinhauser score on two plays later, Baack faked to his fullback Schoenfeld, and hand-

1 ed off to Tom Dohrman who went * 46 yards for the score. 1 Baack's faking was so good, howE ever, that all the Yellow Jackets • were tackling Schoenfeld, to whom ’ Baack had faked, and even referee Red Sitko was faked out. ' When Schoenfeld was tackled, Sitko 1 blew the whistle, and was com--5 pletely amazed to see Dohrman ’ running for the end zone. Ruled No TD ‘ A whistle blows the ball dead, J however, and that was what Sitko 1 ruled, but it failed to have any bearing as the Cadets scored two plays later. Dorhmann plunged for ' the point, and Concordia led, 7-0, 1 with 5:33 to play in the first period. • The Jackets retaliated with a drive of their own, led by Ron 3 Thieme who picked up nine and 29 E yards in two consecutive carries, 5 moving the ball to the Cadet 16. 1 Thieme and halfback Dave Gay 1 carried the ball to the 11, but a 1 screen pass up the center was intercepted, halting the drive and 1 giving Concordia the ball. Up Lead . The NEIC champs began to move again, and traveled to the Decatur 47 where Don Scheonfeld, the * 210-pound fullback, broke through off tackle and journeyed 47 yards ’ for a second Concordia TD. The try for point was stopped, and the j Cadets held a 13-0 lead with 11:19 ’ remaining in the second quarter. Decatur was still unimpressed, ’ and came back with another drive _ of their own, this one resulting in [ a score. Decatur March ’ Thieme picked up 21 yeards in the drive, and Anspaugh ran 12 yards on a quarterback keeper, to ■ the Concordia 20. A pass interference play on an attempted pass to Eliott gave Decatur the ball on the Cadet 9. The drive stalled momentarily, but on fourth and six for the TD, Gay flipped a perfect pass to end Jim Martn standing all alone in the corner of the end zone. Elliott ran left end for the extra point, and Decatur was still in the ball game. The Cadets took to the air following the kickoff, and Baack connected on a 45-yard scoring pass to end Stan Wissman for another and a 19-7 halftime lead. • Score ,I*Ate . ’ Kalfbaci/'TOOT ElliOtf had deflected the pass, thrown with only 1:52 to play in the half, but the ball bounced into the hands of Wissman, who traveled the remaining 15 yards to paydirt. It was strictly no contest in the second half, as the powerful Concordia machine really went all out. Dorhmann and Schoenfeld scored on 14 and 11 yard runs respectively, in the third peri'Xi, and Concordia held a 32-7 lead going into the final twelve minutes of the season for Decatur. Substitute quarterback Jerry Toms scored a pair of TD’s in the final quarter, the last coming with only 20 seconds to play, and the Cadets added one extra point, setting die final score at 44-7. In closing their season with a ,3-4-1 conference slate, -the Jackets hung up nine first downs in the first half to Concordia’s seven, but the Cadets picked up-14 first downs in the second half to only two for Decatur.

I Not that Decatur would have i won, but the score would have un- : doubtedly been much closer than , it was at the final gun. L If Decatur could have scored when marched to the Cadet 11, on- ■ ly to be stopped by an intercep- - tion, and if the scoring pass late in i the second quarter wouldn’t have • been caught after Max Elliott deflected it,. Decatur could very jqpa§onably had a 14-13 halftimelead. Bfit ”ifs w make a season, so . there is not much use dwelling on what would have happened “if.” But one just can’t help looking back to the Auburn game, and “if” Decatur could have gone that final two inches, and the Garrett game, “if” the Jackets wouldn’t have been assessed two consecutive penalties when they were on the Garrett 5. If — Decatur could have had a record of six wins and three losses. But, it was still an outstanding season, , and congratulations go to coach Bob Worthman and 16 fine seniors, all of whom hung up their football equipment last night. Outstanding season were turned in by Roger Conrad and Dave Swickard, the Daves, Magley and Beery, Dick Fravel and Don Poling. ■ • • Fravel did a fine job all season ■ long at center, while Swickard and Magley did what was expected of them and a little extra. Conrad and Poling filled in when injuries struck, and stuck in the lineup, and Beery was an outstanding lineman, in spite of a shoulder injury that would have put lesser players out of the lineup for the season. Jim Martin did a fine job at end, and gave Worthman a real good defensive halfback, intercepting two passes in the four games he played that position. Tom Maddox £lso did a fine job at the other end. i Bill Conrad bounced back from injuries to perform very creditably in the defensive lineup the last three games, and Steve Gause was his usual rugged self, in spite of an injury which caused him to miss two games and not play at full strength the final two coh-

Itestt. - ' Dari Heller gave Worthmari aher rugged lineman, and a trio v. eniors, Lennie Hilyard, To tn Mclntosh and Kenny Hill, gave Worthman depth on the bench, and although they didn’t get to play much, they never quit trying. And finally, Dave Gay and Ron Thieme, who are without a doubt all-conference material. Playing out of position early in the season, Gay still gave it all he - had, and really proved his ability when shifted to halfback midway t in the year. Big Dave was a tow- , , er of strength on defense also. ! It would be interesting to see sta- ' tistics on the number of minutes ’ played by each individual in each : game. Gay would be at the top 1 of the list, because he missed very 1 little action. You just don’t take c a guy like that out of the lineup. 1 Thieme, who came from no f where this season to become what . 1 this corner believes to be the best fullback in the conference — bar , none — was simply and slightly , tremendous. Running many times, as last I night, without a lot of blocking, ' and nearly always through the I middle of the opposing team’s 1 line, the speedy fullback piled up j one of the largest totals of rushing j yardage in the history of the school. f Never once complaining about L anything, just always putting forth . all he had in him — we rate Ron , Thieme as one of the greatest backfield men in Decatur high j school football history. Besides the seniors, coach Worth- i , man finished his football career I ’ as head coach last night. You who I witnessed the contest saw an era I in Decatur come to a wonderful ] end, despite the outcome of the j game. Worthman doesn’t have a win- I ning record, but in his 16 years as I i football coach he built more boys I into men than any high school I i coach in Indiana has ever done. I l The old saying goes, “It is not I ; who won or lost, but how you I > played the game.” This was | taught, preached and practiced by I ■ Bob Worthman. Every coach has his enemies, I , but we venture to say Worthman I has less than most. Ask his play- I i ers, anyone who ever played for I - him in the past 16 years. They I know him, they understand him — I > and they 'respect him. ■ <s¥e take thTs time to wish good j i luck to coach Bob, on behalf of his | thousands of friends and associ-1 I ates. He will remain a sathletic 9 . director aind a valuable asset to 3 - the school. ® 1, Buj. things just won’t be the | ! same without walking into that I . “inking” clubhouse and hearing | - trimselL aboizt- I ~ next week’s game.'F ’ ’ . f There will- always be som&thirrg 4 l missing in that clubhouse — coach | ' Bob Worthman, a great coach and 1 and even greater guy, and one of I I the finest persons we know.
