Junior High GriddersWin Fourth In Row The Decatpr junior high football team chalked up its fourth win of the season without a loss at New Haven Tuesday afternoon, whipping the junior Bulldogs by a 13-6 score. The Decatur boys scored all their points in the first period and halted a late New Haven threat to boost their season record to 4-0. They are now victorious in nine straight games, having finished unbeaten last year. They will go after their second unbeaten season in a row when New Haven’s junior high plays here Oct. 22. The Decaturites needed only three plays after the opening kickoff to grab an early lead. Taking over on their own 40 after the kickoff, they marched 29 yarcte in two plays, and on the third, halfback Don Cummings skirted his right end on a 31-yard tquchdown romp. It was his ninth TD of the year. Kenny Gause went over right tackle to add the extra point, and Decatur held a 7-0 yead. Gause Scores New Haven fumbled on the first play after the Decatur kickoff, and Rich Caciano recovered on the New Haven 12-yard line. Decatur was assessed two penalties but on fourth down quarterback Jim Cassthrew a 22-yard pass to Gause on the New Haven two. On the ensuing play, still in the first period, Gause romped around left end for a 13-0 Decatur lead, with the point-after run stopped by the New Haven line. New Haven started a march in the second period which was killed by a pass interception by Ron Journay, and Decatur led by 13 pointe at the half. New Haven TD Neither team threatened in the (third period, but a New Haven 'halfback raced 60 yards around his end for a score early in the final period. The run tor the'extra point was stopped. New Haven marched into Decatur territory with a minute and a half left to play, Bob Schwartz intercepted a fourth down pass to halt the drive and insure victory for the local gridders. Decatur 13 0 0 o—l 3 New Haven 0 0 0 6— 6 Gene Conley Reports To New York Knicks NEW YORK (UPI) — It was back to work today for Gene Conley, a pitcher in the summertime, and a basketball player during the winter.

Koufax Voted Top Pilcher, Comeback Star NEW YORK (UPI) — Los Angeles Dodger star Sandy Koufax was honored by the United Press International today as the No. 1 Natipnal League pitcher of the year and for having made the major league comeback of the year. It was the first time in their history that any major leaguer ever has won both awards. The twin honors were determined by a survey of 24 baseball experts representing every city in the majors. Koufax was the unanimous choice as the National League’s pitcher of the year, polling all 24 votes cast by the experts. He was selected for having made the comeback of the year by 12 of the 24 experts with Curt Simmons of the St. Louis Cardinals ranking second with four votes. - Other Votes Other votes in the comeback of the year balloting were cast for Hal Woodeshick of the Houston Colts, Dick Ellsworth of the Chicago Cubs, the Los Angeles Dodgers as a team (two votes each) and for Ron Santo of the Chicago Cubs and the Cardinals as a team (one each). Koufax’ ’credentials as the National League’s pitcher of the year are beyond dispute. The 27-year-old 200- pound lefthander appeared in 40 games and 311 innings. He had a 25-5 record for an .833 won-lost percentage and the most victories by a National League left-hander since Carl Hubbell won 26 games in 1936. Sets Strikeout Mark Koufax set a new National League strikeout record of 306 in one season and thereby joined Rube Waddell, Walter Johnson and Bob Feller as the only pitchers who have surpassed the 300mark in strikeouts for a season. Sandy also pitched 11 shutouts—a new record for a lefthander—and his 1.88 earned run average was remarkable for a pitcher who worked so many innings. All this by a pitcher who 14 months ago was threatened with the loss of a finger that undoubtedly would have ended his career. Simmons, 34-year old former Philadelphia Phillie whiz kid lefthander, compiled a 15-9 record for the Cardinals. It marked his biggest winning season since 1956 and it played a major role in the Cardinals’ surprising rise as a National League pennant contender. Cincinati Royals Again Beat Bullets TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (UPI) — The Cincinnati Royals defeated the Baltimore Bullets, 132-97 Tuesday nigfit in their second straight win in as many nights bf National Basketball Association exhibitions in Indiana. The top scorer was Wayne Enbry with 25 for the Royals. Former Purdue star Terry Dischinger. tossed in 24 for the Bullets.

— — Winners Announced In PP&K Contest

Peter Minch, Michael J. Baker, Bill Schnepf, and Gregory Cook, were announced this morning by Harry Schwartz as first place winners in age groups eight through 11 respectively in the annual punt, pass & kick competition held Tuesday night at Worthman Field. Some 200 boys were registered for the contest, with 170 competing last night. Second, place winners were Tony Isch, Gregory Myers, Randy Gehrig and Jerry Ulman, in groups eight through 11, respectively. Third place winners in the eight through 11 ages, respectively, were Wayne Franz, John Hammond, Ronald Hammond and Kenneth Friedt. The third annual punt, pass & kick contest was held at Worthman Field Tuesday evening under Jackets Play Eagles Here Friday Night Decatur’s Yellow Jackets will be seeking their third win of the season against a pair of losses Friday evening when they play host to the Eagles of Columbia City at Worthman Field. Game time Friday is 8 p.m., and one of the largest crowds in years at a football game here is expected to attend. Last Friday’s crowd was large, and the Jackets piling up a 50-0 victory over Bluffton, an even larger crowd is expected this week. Another section of permanent bleachers was purchased recently by the school and will be installed in time for the game Friday evening. The new bleachers couple onto the large permanent section already there. With the addition also of some smaller wooden bleacher sections, ample seating capacity should be provided for fans. Columbia City thus far this season has a record that is. not too impressive, but the Eagles have played some fine football, only to lose *by small margins. Last Friday, they were edged by KendallviHle by a 6-0 score, and the Comets stand at 3-1 for the season in conference play and 4-1 over-all. Better Than Record Columbia City* owns a 1-3 conference record, but has scored only two points less than they have allowed. The Eagles have scored 36 points in those four games and allowed only 38. The Jackets moved into the first division of the conference with that resounding win over 'Blufffton last week, and are now resting in fifth place with two wins and two losses. A pair of injuries may slow the Decatur attack Friday night. Fullback Buster Melchi, the club's second leading ground-gainer, suffered a muscle injury against Bluffton when he was knocked out of bounds, and has not participated in any major workouts this week. - Ix'hman Hurt Deane Lehman, senior end who has been doing a sterling job both offensively and defensively, received a leg injury in practice Tuesday afternoon. The extent of the injury is not yet known. Whether either or both will be in the starting lineup Friday is a | question mark. How much they will be able to play will probably not be determined until Friday. The rest of coach Wally Yeoman’s crew is fit and ready to 1 go, however, and a tight battle is expected Friday.
