Booster Club Plans Membership Drive

The newly-elected off' ers of the Decatur high school Booster Club met recently, and set up preliminary plans for the club's activities for the 1963-64 year. Freddie Isch was elected president of the club, following balloting at the D-Club banquet last month. Dick Reidenbach was named vice president. Herb Banning, Jr., secretary, and Richard Linn, treasurer. Elected to the board of directors were Dave Wynn. Gerald Strickler, and John Isch. Jim Cowens, last year’s president, is also a one-year member of the board, by virtue of his past presidency. First on the list of activities for the new officers is the annual membership drive which will open in June. Starting from a handful of sports fans and boosters of Decatur high school who ‘‘threw’ a party” for the football team in the. fall of 1956, the Booster club has grown tremendously in membership and activities. 175 Members Last year’s membership reached the highest peak in the history of the organization, with a membership enrollment of 175. Isch explained that the club this year is shooting for even greater heights —2OO members. Through membership in the club, a person receives admission to two of the city’s biggest athletic banquets each year, the football banquet and the D-Club banquet. The football banquet is held following the end of the football season each year to pay special tribute to the members of the football team and the coaching staff. The banquet is open only to members of the Booster club, and has featured such speakers as Walter Michaels of the Cleveland Browns football team and veteran coach Zeke Young of Auburn. D-Club Banquet The D-Club banquet is sponsored by Decatur high school’s letterman organization and the Booster club ,and is held in the latter part of April or early May each year. Recent affairs have featured Don Odle, All-American footballer Bob Davenport, and Dutch Struck. The club presents trophies for the most valuable football player and the player with the most tackles at the fall banquet.

: awarding of the most valuable player award for basketball, and • the rebounding and most assists I trophies. A trophy was also awarded to the outstanding member of the wrestling team last month. The football banquet this year has been tentatively scheduled for Tuesday. November 12. No date has been set for the D-Club banquet next spring. Football Breakfast The club is also planning to hold another breakfast for the football team. Such an affair was held last year on the morning of the team’s opening game and proved quite popular. The only income of funds the club has for its various projects is through 'its memberships of $5 per person. In recent years the club has built a schedule board at Worthman field and lighted it; has installed a new flag pole at the field; has assisted in building dugouts for the baseball diamond, and other such projects, in addition to holding the banquets and awarding the athletic trophies. Jsch said this morning that full details concerning activities for the football season would be announced at a later date. The club has held a “Lettermen’s Night” the past two seasons, recognizing former lettermen at ceremonies held during a home football game. According to Isch the membership drive will open soon, with the membership committee to be announced next week. . Australian Leads At Oklahoma City OKLAHOMA CITY (UPl>—Australian Bruce Develin, who has never won a tournament in this* country, stood at the head of the field of the $35,000 Oklahoma City Open today, thanks to a blazing second round. Devlin put on a tremendous shooting display Friday for a sev-en-under-par 65 and a 36-hole total of 136. That gave Devlin a two-stroke lead at the halfway mark. Tied at 141 were former PGA champion Dow Finsterwald, George Mayer and Bob Duden. Another stroke back at 142 were Julius Boros, Rex Baxter, Fred Haas, Miller Barber, Bob Goalby and Bobby Nichols. First round leader Bob Stone and defending champion Doug Sanders ran into trouble and fell back in the field. Stone, who shot a 68 to lead after 18 holes, lost his putting touch and struggled in with a 79 for a 147. Sanders, firstround runnerup with 69, came in with a 77 for 146. The field was cut to the top 66 professionals plus nine amateurs, for the final two rounds Among those who failed to make the 149 cutoff figure were Johnny Pott, the 1962 runnerup here, Jim Ferree, Don Whitt and Tommy Jacobs. It was Devlin’s day all the way. The blond belter from ‘‘Down Under” carved out a three-under-par 33 on the front nine and then chopped four more strokes from par to come in with a 32. His 65 was the lowest round ever scored on the 7,000-yard, par 72 Quail Creek course. Devlin propelled himself into the lead with remarkable long-range shooting as he sank a 90-yard shot for an eagle and a 60-foot putt for a bridie. He had seven birdies in all and two bogeys. His eagle, on No. 11, was a fantastic shot. The half-wedge approach struck three feet short of the pin, bounced two feet past the cup and then rolled back in. Pony Exhibition Game Is Scheduled The scheduled exhibition game between the Cubs and Cardinals for today, has been postponedThe two teams will play next Saturday afternoon at Worthman Field. The Cubs will practice at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at McMillen Field. DRIVE IN THEATER SUNDAY ONLY Wonderful In COLOR! JUDY GARLAND “I COULD GO ON SINGING” & “WORLD IN MY POCKET’ Rod Thriller!

Don Nottebart Hurls No-Hit Win For Colts By United Press International The guy with the big win was Don (No-Hit) Nottebart, but the man with the big grin was Houston teammate Don McMahon. McMahon was the fellow who first recommended Nottebart to the Colts so you can imagine how he felt sitting in the bullpen last night and watching the right-hander from Lexington, Mass., pitch the National League’s second no-hitter within a week. Nottebart's masterpiece over the Philadelphia Philiies was slightly tainted in that they scored an unearned run off him in his 4-1 victory. But Nottebart wasn’t the least bit unhappy, particularly since it was the first time he pitched nine innings since 1961 and the victory brought his season record to 5-1. The only run the Phils scored off Nottebart came in the fifth inning as a result of a two-base error by shortstop J.C. Hartman. Don Demeter reached second on the miscue, took third on Clay Dalrymple’s sacrifice and scored on Don Hoak’s sacrifice fly. Goss Hits Clincher That run matched a first inning homer by Carl Warwick and tied the score at 1-all but Howie Goss untied it with a three-run homer in the sixth off Jack Hamilton, who had beaten the Colts three times last year and twice more this season without ever losing to them before. Nottebart’s no-hitter came only six days after the first one of the season turned in by Sandy Koufax of the Dodgers against the Giants. En route to his no-hitter, Nottebart walked three batters and struck out eight. Strictly a reliever with the Braves last season, Nottebart told McMahon he would like to be with the Colts while they were chatting one night last summer. The two were good friends, having pitched for the Braves together, and as soon as McMahon returned to Houston, he passed the word along to General Manager Paul Richards. The Colts obtained Nottebart last Nov. 29. Dodgers Whip Pirates In other NL action Friday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers pounded the Pittsburgh Pirates ! 9-3, the St. Louis Cardinals ended a four-game losing streak with an 11-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds and the San Francisco Giants beat the New York Mets 4-3 in 11 innings. The scheduled game between the Braves and Cubs was rained out. Minnesota trampled Cleveland 11-4 in the American League, Kansas City blanked Boston, 2-0, and the New York Yankees edged the Los Angeles Angels 4-3. A Detroit-Washington doubleheader was rained out along with • the Baltimore-Chicago game. Frank Howard drove in three runs for the Dodgers with a double and a two-run homer against the Pirates. Bob Miller gained his third victory and Joe Gibbon was charged with his first defeat. A barrage of four home runs by George Altman, Julian Javier, Dick Groat and Stan Musial carried Ernie Broglio of the Cardinals to his fourth victory at the expense of the Reds. Joey Jay,

Yellow Jackets End Schedule Next Week The Decatur Yellow Jackets wind up their season with three games next week, two of which are at home, coach Bill McColly said today. The Jackets will travel to New Haven Monday and will entertain Portland Tuesday in a night game at Worthman Field. Wednesday afternoon, the Jackets will play host to Columbia City. The New Haven and Columbia City games are NEIC affairs, and are considered “must” games for the NEIC leading Jackets. A pair of wins would assure Decatur of at least a tie for the conference crown. The reserve team will play Van Wert here Monday afternoon, and will meet Portland Tuesday at 5 p.m. in a preliminary to the night contest. Allison Slams Three Homers As Twins Win By United Press International Bob Allison is only doing what comes naturally when he plays Paul Bunyan so it isn’t surprising that he’s trying single-handedly to carry the Minnesota Twins out of the American League J wilderness. Allison, who stands 6-feet-4 and weighs 218 pounds, is generally recognized as the strongest man in the AL—perhaps in big league baseball. And he sure looked 10 feet tall with shoulders half as wide Friday night when he hit three homers and drove in six runs to lead the Twins to an 11-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians. The win snapped a four-game losing streak and lifted the Twins out of last place. The Twins have been one of the most disappointing teams in either league this year but it’s no fault of Allison, who leads the AL with 29 runs batted in, has hit nine homers and is batting .330. Allison’s three homers Friday night came off Jim Grant, Jerry Walker and Ron Nischwitz. Jim Perry, obtained recently from the Indians, went 6 2-3 innings against his former teammates to win his first game of the season. The New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-3, and the Kansas City Athletics defeated the Boston Red Sox 2-0 in the only other games. Chicago at Baltimore and Detroit at Washington were rained out Throw* No-Hitter In the National League, the Houston Colts topped the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 on Don Nottebart’s no-hitter, the St. Louis Cardinals crushed the Cincinnati Reds 11-2, the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-3, and the San Francisco Giants defeated the New York Mets 4-3, in 11 innings. Joe Pepitone drove in all four Yankee runs with his sixth and seventh homers of the season while two homers by Leon Wagner produced all three Los Angeles runs. a 20-game winner last year, was routed after two innings and suffered his seventh loss against one victory. Joe Amalfitano accounted for the Giants’ victory over the Mets with an 11th inning homer that the losers vainly protested had gone foul.

Rain, Cold z Plague Track Meets Friday By 808 GATELY United Press International The field for next week’s Indiana high school track championship finals will be completed today at the rain-delayed Gary regiona, featuring defending state champ Gary Roosevelt. And a forecast for fair and mild weather, in contrast to the rain and cold which plagued the three regional meets held Friday, hinted at the possibility of still more new records. Most of Friday’s record breaking was confined to the Indianapolis regional which produced one all-time Indiana rcord, two season best performances and one local regional record. One of the season bests also tied an all-time regional mark. One local regional record was set at Linton but there were no new marks in the Fort Wayne regional. Mike Hanna of Pendleton had been expected to set a new alltime regional mark in the pole vault but he exceeded expectations with a state record vault of 13 feet 10% inches. Hanna set the old state mark of 13 feet 9 inches earlier this season. En route to his record, Hanna defeated defending state champ Mike McPhearson of Indianapolis Arlington who finished second at 13 feet 2% inches, good enough for next week's finals. New season best performances were turned in by Jerry Upchurch of Indianapolis Shortridge with a time of 1:56.9 in the 880-yard run and Denver Kennett of Lawrenceburg turned in a high jump of 6 feet 5% inches. Kennett’s performace was not only a season best, it tied the all-time regional record set in 1957 by Lerßoy Johnson of Mishawaka. Both of the local regional records set were in the shot put Gene Lockyear of Evansville Bosse did 57 feet 11% inches at Linton and Curt Marker of Carmel did 55 feet 11% inches at Indianapo- ' lis. 1 ’ Team standings in the three re- ’ gionals Friday went about according to the script with Richmond ’ winning at Indianapolis, Evans- ! ville Reitz at Linton and Fort Wayne. Reitz had the toughest time with just a three-point margin over Terre Haute Wiley, 21-18. Richmond finished with 32 points to 26 for runner-up Indianapolis Short--1 ridge and Fort Wayne North had 45 to 20 for the second-place Elkhart. North also led the three regional winners in state meet qualifiers with eight individuals and two re- ’ lay teams. Richmond qualified seven boys and two relay teams 1 while Reitz advanced four individ- ’ uals and one relay team to the finals. The three regional meets pro- ■ duced three individual double wini ners—two at Indianapolis and one ■ at Linton. i At Indianapolis, Dick Woodbury of Indianapolis Howe won both ■ hurdle events and Bill McMahon : of Indianapolis Scecina won the t 100 and 220-yard dashes. John Olil ver of Ladoga won the 100 and 220-yard dashes at Linton.
