Yellow Jackets Blast Columbia City Eagles By 25-0 Score Friday

By Bob Shraluka The Decatux. Yellow Jacke’s made it three in a row and four for the season Friday evening, blasting Columbia City’s Eagles with 19 points in the second half and recording a 25-0 victory. Again it was a powerful offensive show combined with a rugged defense that led coach Wally-Yeo-man's Yellow Jackets to victoryland—a victory that gave them four for the year against t| o losses and a three win, two loss NEIC mark. Some tremendous ball handling by quarterback Dave Anspaugh and Decatur's powerful backs over-powered a huge Columbia City team. Each of the four “regular" starters in the backfield registered six points, three on runs of more than 30 yards. The Jackets were apparently tucking last week's 50-0 romp in their helmets and taking things too easy in the first period, but they soon snapped out of it and turned the contest into a rout in the second half. The Jackets received the kickoff on their own 37 and on fourth down. Max Elliott took his club to Columbia City 41 «when he raced 16 yards around end on a fake punt. But the drive was halted when the Jackets couldn't get another first down. Eagle Threat Late in the period. Elliott was punting from his end zone when Jk* elected to run but was stopped short of a first down, and Columbia City got possession of the ball on the Decatur 17. The Decatur defense came to life and held the Eagles to only three yards in three plays, and a fourth down pass was flipped by a Jacket defender into the hands of Elliott on the goal'line and he returned it to the Decatur 18 to stop the serious threat by the Eagles. From there the Jackets began a long and tedious drive which finally paid off with a touchdown. With a great fake to his fullback, Davey Anspaugh skirted his left end for 19 yards to the Decatur 40 to get the drive started. Melchi Sparks Club Buster Melchi, nursing a bruised thigh muscle from last week, entered the contest and promptly put the spark in the Jackets. Moving to the Columbia City 38. Bill Blythe, continuing to improve with each g.ame._ raced around his left end and went all the way for the score; but the play was called back 'or an illegal motion penalty on Decatur. Ansnaugh, however, continued to keep the club moving, pitching out. .to Blythe for a 12-yard gain and: Elliott then raced 13 yards to the I Eagle 15 for another first down. On a third down and nine. An-' spaugh rolled out and heaved a pass to Deane Lehman for another first down on the Columbia City 5. Sam Blythe, aft fullback, picked up three yards, and then Anspaugh made a tremendous fjike to his fullback through the line and waltzed around his left end, unseen by 11 Eagles. His kick for the PAT hit the left post and bounced out, but Decatur had a 6-6 lead with 5:16 to play in the first half. Led by their 210-pound fullback, Columbia City marched to the Decatur 17 late in the half, but a

15-yard penalty and some rugged work by the defensive line ended the threat, as John Custer batted down a fourth down pass at the goal line. Halt Drive ■ Columbia City drove to the Decatur 42 to start the second half, but two straight tackles by Dave Magley helped slow the drive, and the Eagles were forced to punt. Elliott was hauled down on the Decatur 8 with the punt, and the Jackets then put into motion a drive that covered 92 yards in only six plays. Melchi picked up seven yards and Elliott 14. Bill Blythe gained another eight and then Melchi boomed off right tackle for a first down on the Decatur 41. Anspaugh was rushed and snow-j ed under on the next play for a three-yard loss, but on the next, play he raced backwards, chased! by the Columbia City line, and I pitched a screen pass to Elliott and Mighty Max was long gone. Elliott -Scores He streaked down the right sideline. eluded' three tackles, cut back across the field. Bill Blythe knockeiiout one defender with a block and Elliott outran the last one on a 62-yard jaunt to paydirt. The PAT kick was low, but Decatur had boosted its lead to 12-0 with 3:15 to play in the third period. Moments later, however, before the crowd had settled from Elliott's scintillating run, the Jackets had scored gfiain„ Columbiqjjjßy returned the kickoff to the Eagle 33, and on first down a pass attempt failed. On the -next play, Stellhorn flipped a short flat pass to his halfback around right end, but Decatur end Greg Ladd : alertly picked off the pass and returned it nine yards to the Eagle 12. The Yellow Jackets were penalized twice and facing a grave third and 28 situation, when Anspaugh handed off to Melchi and “Battering Buster” shot through a huge hole off right tackle and outraced everyone on a 32-yard romp for a touchdown with 22 seconds to play in the period. Anspaugh’s kick was true to the mark and the local eleven now owned a big 19-0 lead. Big John Eichenauer recovered'! a fumble by the now-thoroughly confused Eagles on the Columbia City 30, as the fourth period opened, but the Jackets could not pick [ up a first down and failed to score. Corral Grabs Fumble Taking over on their own 34, the i Eagles ran three plays and on the ’ third one. Lennie Corral scooped , up a fumble on the 42 and return-! . ed it to the Eagle 37, giving his team possession once again. ■ THt‘ Jackets gained only three I I yards in three tries, but on fourth down Bill Blythe pulled off the, most dazzling run of the entire evening when he traveled 33 yards for the fourth Decatur TD. Shooting through the leftside of ■ the line, Blythe ran through the [ entire Columbia City team, shak- ■ ing five or six tacklers, and finally breaking loose to add the last bit ■ of icing to the Decatur victory ■ cake. > Columbia City threatened to ruin Decatur’s second shutout in a row , as they marched to the Decatur ■ 28 with 50 seconds left to play, but i Dave Smith dove on another Eagle

fumble and it was all over. The Yellow Jackets will pit their .thunderous attack against a de-fense-minded Comet eleven from Kendallville next Friday in another NEIC encounter. The contest will be the final game of the season at Worthman Field and another overflow crowd like last night’s will more than likely be in attendance.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

50-Yard Line Flashes By Bob Shraluka This is getttin’ to be fun! Wally Yeoman’s Yellow Jackets have now racked up 102 points in their last three ball games, which is great. But what is even greater is that they won all three! Once again last night, for the third Friday in a row, a tremendous Decatur backfield, through the cooperation of an offensive line that is just as tremendous, simply over-powered their foe. It’s been a long time since Decatur football fans (and their number is growing each week), have seen what they have seen at Portland and the last two games here. That backfield, which includes seven or eight, has to be one of this city’s greatest because of its last three performances. And that offensive line — it is outstanding But one can’t turn his back on the way this team plays defense. A last minute touchdown, aided by a ridiculous pass interfence call, keeps Decatur from owning three shutouts in a row. The Jackets had romped over two previous foes going into last night’s game but neither team was anything great. Last night, however, was a different story. Columbia City was a huge club. Their starting offensive line outweighed Decatur’s by five pounds a man, 180 to 175. Their backfield, led by that 210-pound fullback, outweighed Decatur’s 173 to 160. But after the Jackets shook the stars from their helmets over that 50-0 win last week, and really went to work, they simply overpowered Columbia City. Again it was Hazelwood, Lehman and Ladd, Melchi, the Blythe brothers, Egly, Anspaugh and Elliott, who were outstanding, but just as much responsible are guys like Tom Macklin, center Dave Wynn, guard Tim Magley, Tom Engle, Manny Ybarra, John Custer, Jack Custer, Jack Stauffer. John Eichenauer and Lennie Corral. Mighty Max Elliott was up to his usual tricks, gaining 134 yards In New Uniforms The Decatur high school marching band, looking smart and resplendent in their new uniforms, presented a sparkling half-time show to the enthusiastic crowd last night. Ably directed by Richard Collins, the band's performance and appearance last night brought home to the fans the spectacular progress being made in this department of D. 11. S. The theme enacted by the group was “Dixie,” involving everything fcpm "Dixieland j Jazz” to intricate dance stews and a sham 200-per-minute high-stenping beat as they left the field. This nroficiency has not come about by a miracle but rather hard, disciplined work. For more than a month the mem- | hers of the hand have been “rolling out” in the wee hours of the morning to repor‘ for practice at Worthman field at 6:55 a. m. This is done three davs a week and last night an extra n r acti p c session was squeezed in at 6 p. m., before , the game. Manv people are “missing the boat” by getting their cokes, noocorn, etc., immediately after.the first half ends. There is plenty of time to do ♦his after the band nerformance before the second half starts. , Our hats are off to Dick Collins and his D. H. 8- marching band for their smart appearance, proficiency and morale raising results of which this community is extremely proud. in only nine carries.

United States Takes 6-2 lead For Ryder Cup ATI.,ANTA (UPI) — The United States rejuggled its powerful Ryder Cup golf team today with the aim of delivering a knockout blow to a battered British team which was floored for a 6-2 count in Friday’s opening matches. Captain Arnold Palmer, who shared in Friday's only U. S. defeat and later in its greatest victory, paired himself with Dow Finsterwald for this morning's four-bail battle.-. The Palmer - Finsterwald twosome wiH take on two Welshmen — young Brian Huggett, who faced Palmer twice in Friday’s Scotch foursomes, and Dave Thomas. The other morning pairings: U. S. Open champ Julius Boros and Gene Littler vs. Peter Alliss and Bernard Hunt; Billy Casper and Billy Maxwell vs. Harry Weetman and George Will; and Bob Goalby and Dave Ragan vs. Neil Coles and Christy O’Connor. John Fallon, Britain’s non-play-ing captain, sounded a note- of despair after his final twosome Friday blew a lead on .the final two holes to' allow the United States to make a clean sweep of the afternoon rounds. Sums Up Chances “We must redeem ourselves Saturday if we are to have any" chance on Sunday,” Fallon said. There were eight Scotch foursomes Friday, eight four-ball fourSTATE APPEALS (Continued from Page One) livery of a copy to each county clerk. However the question now goes before the Supreme ’ Court as a result of the filing of the transcript by Brown Friday and a ruling upholding the lower court would have the effect of. requiring Hendricks to promulgate the law separately. Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers, in his arguments before a special panel of three federal judges considering reapportionment in Indiand, had cited this case and pointed out that if the state lost it, Indiana presumably would have a new reapportionment law on the books. Welsh had vetoed the only reapportionment measure to pass both houses of the’ 1963 Legislature and, as on the special prosecutor's bill, a five-day period eiapsed before he took the action. The federal panel, composed of judges Roger Kiley of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, Chicago, and William Steckler and Cale Holder, of the southern Indiana district federal court, is scheduled to hold a closed-door meeting Monday here on Indiana reapportionment.

I The British got off to a fine start in Friday’s morning round, tying the United States 2-2. Their biggest upset came in the first match when Huggett and Scotsman Will, a pair of 26-year-; old Ryder Cup newcomers, beat Palmer and Johnny Pott 3 and 2. i Their lone loss in the morning round came when Casper and Kagan edged Alliss and O'Connor 1-up thanks to a long putt by Ra-i gan on the 18th hole saved the U.

The biggest victory, and the , one which attracted most of the crowd of nearly 10,000, was the j , one Palmer and Casper posted; over Huggett and Will. Apparently stung by the morning upset by the two youngest . members of the British team, . Palmer benched Pott and brought . in Casper for a second run at the [ two men who beat him earlier , in the day. It was no contest.
