Jackets Play . Bluffton Here Friday Night A pair of old rivals will square off a Worthman Field Friday evening when the Decatur Yellow Jackets entertain Bluffton’s Tigers at Worthman field. Game time Friday is 8 p.m., and an overflow crowd is expected for the Northeastern Indiana conference tilt Superintendent Gail M. Grabill said this morning that two sections of bleachers have been added to the east of the regular grandstand tor the game Friday, in anticipation of a large crowd. Coach Wally Yeoman’s Yellow Jackets will be attempting to climb over the .500 mark, and also to even up their conference winloss record. After walloping Portland by a 27-6 score last week, the Decaturites stand at two wins, two losses for the year. Their conference record is 1-2. The squad is in good physical shape for the contest, and with the momentum provided by the Portland victory, should be ex-

pected to go all out for a victory tommorrow night. Bluffton appears to be an up and down outfit, and although their NEIC and overall record is only 1-3, can’t be taken too lightly. Beat Columbia City After being walloped twice, the Tigers bounced back to whip a good Columbia City eleven by a 19-13 score at Bluffton a week ago last Friday. Last Friday, they traveled to Garrett and were soundly thumped, 33-0, by the unbeaten Railroaders, who rest atop the conference with a 3-0 mark. As has been demonstrated many times in the past, records mean little in a Decatur-Bluffton contest, and the Tigers will be more than likely be at the peak of their game Friday evening.

Koufax Breaks Strikeout Mark In 5-2 Victory By FRED DOWN 7 UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) — It was like taking candy from a baby as it has been so often in the World Series, only this time it was the New York Yankees who were reduced to utter helplessness. Because this time it was the National League, champion Los Angeles Dodgers who had the “superman” in their corner. Back through the golden years of the Yankees’ World Series history they’ve had the Babe Ruth, the Lou Gehrig, the Joe DiMaggio, the Allie Reynolds and the Mickey Mantle who’ve proved just too much for the opposition to handle. But Wednesday it was the Dodgers who had the man who was just too much. He’s Sandy Koufax, of course, and he manhandled the lordly Yankees in away that left American Leaguers gaping. Other great pitchers have beaten the Yankees but nowhere in W’orld Series memory is there an instance of a pitcher who so Completely overpowered them. Koufax Took Command A 25-game winner with 306 strikeouts in 311 innings and a backdrop of two no hitters and two games in which he struck out 18 batters during his career, Koufax took command of the Yankees like a big league pitcher would take command of a high school team. He struck out the first five batters to face him and nine of the first 12. After four innings the Yankees had hit only one fair ball. He blazed his fast ball past them. He confused them with his deep-breaking fast curve. And he made them look ridiculous with his change-up — thrown with the same motion as the high, hard one. This was supposed to be a match-up of star pitchers — Koufax vs. Whitey Ford, who started the game with a 10-5 World Series record. Frank Howard’s 457-foot double, singles by Bill Skowron and Dick Tracewski and Johnny Roseboro’s three-run homer gave the Dod gers four runs in the second inning and that was it. It was obvious the Yankees could not overcome such a, handicap against Koufax and the brilliant lefthander just kept" mowing down. Two Tough Innings Koufax had two tough innings —because he lost the pinpoint contrpl of his curve ball — in the fifth and sixth. The Yankees put together three singles with two out in the fifth but Sandy fanned pinch hitter Hector Lopez to end that threat and they got two straight walks in the sixth with one out only to have Sandy retire Mickey Mantie and Roger Maris on infield pops. Tom Tresh hit a two-run fcomer in the eighth but by then Koufax was throwing fast balls for strikes and he quickly closed out the game. After the seventh, the crowd of 69,000 was cheering for Sandy to break Carl Erskine’s mark of 14 strikeouts in one game, set against the Yankes in 1953. Koufax finally accomplished the feat for a new mark of 15 when he buzzed a fast ball past pinch hitter Harry Bright for the final out of the game. Bright stood there gaping — typical of a Yankee team that had run up against a man who was just too much. 0 o 20 Years Ago Today 0 0 Oct. 3, 1943 was Sunday and no paper was published.
