Decatur Yellow Jackets Drop Hard - Fought Battle To Bluffton Last Night

By Bob Bhraluka The Decatur Yellow Jackets battled Bluffton’s Tigers "down to the wire" Friday night in the Bluffton gym, before finally going down to their seventh loss of the season, 64-54. Playing without the services of regular guard Jim Martin, one of the team’s leading scorers, coach BiW McColly’s crew gave the talented Tigers all they wanted for nearly 32 minutes of action. In'the end, the superior size and shooting ability of 6-6 senior Brad Bounds spelled doom for the Decatur five. Bounds racked up his 29th and 30th points of the game with five minutes to play in the third period, and was held to only two free throws the rest of the way, but his early output was too much to overcome. A basket by Jerry Murray with 3:20 to play in the contest apparently had the Tigers home free, holding a 56-46 lead. The Jackets, however, were not completely finished. Tom Maddox scored on a rebound, and two intercepted passes within a matter of seconds, resulted in two-pointers by Dick Ortiz and Greg Ladd, cutting the TiCollege Basketball Kansas State 88, Indiana 72.

ger lead to 56-52 with 2:30 to play. Rebuilt Margin The Tigers were not done either, though, and consective buckets by Tom Luginbill and Doug Durr upped the margin to eight points. Bounds then converted a pair of charity attempts with a minute and two seconds to play, putting his team safely out of reach with a 62-52 lead. The 10-point margin was the biggest lead the Tigers ever enjoyed in the closely fought struggle between two old-time rivals. A hot streak by Bob McClure led the Jackets to a 16-14 first quarter lead. McClure hit five buckets in the quarter, one with four seconds remaining to give his team the two-point margin. Bounds Takes Over Bounds really went to work in the second stanza, popping in jump shots over the heads of the smaller Jackets. His jumper at 6:08 of the period gave the Tigers a 20-18 lead, their first since the opening basket- In all, Bounds hit five fielders and four free throws in the stanza, leading the Tigers to a 36-29 advantage at the halftime. The two teams battled on even terms in the third eight-minute bracket, with Greg Ladd’s threepoint play with 43 seconds remaining cutting the Tiger margin to five points, 48-43, entering the tense fourth quarter. Bounds topped all scorers with his 32 tallies, half of his club’s total, but received help from only Doug Durr who added 12 tallies. McClure’s 17 markers led the Yellow Jacket scorers, while Steve Gause chipped in with 11 and Maddox added 10. The Jackets, with seven straight defeats after an opening game win, and two NEIC losses, will return to the same floor for a pair of games next week in the Bluffton holiday tournament. The Jackets open the tourney Thursday night when they ——

The possibility of an all-Texas championship game was what I owners K.S. (Bud) Adams and | Lamar Hunt had in mind when they put Adams’ Oilers in the Eastern Division and Hunt’s Texans in the Western half when the league was formed. The Texans, kept out of the first two championship games by the San Diego Chargers, enter their first one with the best defensive record in the league. They will need ft to head off ~ the Oilers. Coach Frank (Pop) Ivy’s Houston team averaged 355 yards per game in repeating as total offense leader. Hank Stram’s Tex: ans were second in offense with 347 yeasds. In defense, Dallas gave up only 282 yards per game. The Oilers were second with 295. The game matches the league’s first and fourth-place passers, second and third-place rushers and four of the AFL’s top 10 pointmakers. The Texans’ Len Dawson led the AFL in passing with 189 completions out of 310 for 29 touchdowns. Oiler quarterback George Blanda was fourth with 197 of 418 completions for 27 touchdowns. For its ground attack Dallas will lean on Abner Haynes, who was second in the league in rushing with 1,096 yards in 214 carries, an average of 5.1 yards. Houston’s ground troops are headed by the No. 3 rushes, fullback Charles Tolar, who added up 1,012 yards in 244 carries. The four top pointmakers include Haynes, with 114; the Texans’ Tommy Brooker, with 87 Blanda, with 81, and the Oilers’ Billy Cannon, with 80. 1 CHRISTMAS I SUGGESTIONS i 3 S 1 BEDROOM J FURNITURE ALL STYLES | | No monthly pay- | g ments until March | r uhrickbros. | « Discount Furniture 8 I I <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<W«
