By Bob Shraluka Decatur’s Yellow Jackets, heavily riddled by graduation losses, and with eight players just two weeks away from the football season, open their 1963-64 basketball campaign at Adams Central Friday night against an unbeaten Flying Jet quintet. With little experience, a lack of size, and no known scoring punch, the outlook is bleak, to say the least. But head coach Bill McColly, starting his third season at the Yellow Jacket helm, hasn’t as yet “given up the ship.” In fact, McColly and his crew started sessions the Saturday following the end of the football season and have been practicing six days a week since in an effort to whip: into' shape quickly and to attempt to pinpoint the right combination before the season progresses too far. Six lettermen, only one regular, who scored only 171 points among them last season, are returnees from last year’s squad. * Greg Ladd, the lone returning regular, scored 128 of those 171 points this season, and will have to shoulder much of the burden this season .both scoring and re-bounding-w'ise. Ladd Must Blossom A rugged 6-1, 175 pound senior. Ladd gave indications of brilliance last season, and could develop into one of the county’s best performers. He scored 128 points in 20 games last season, a 6.4 average per game, and will have to double or triple that this year if the Jackets are to be a threat. The other five returning lettermen scored just 43 points among them last season, so the battle for starting positions is wide-open. After Ladd, 5-8 Vj, 140-pound senior. Dick Ortiz, has the most experience. Ortiz played in 17 games last year, many just brieF appearances, and scored 22 points. A smooth performer, Ortiz has a lot of good moves and needs only to obtain confidence to become a standout. He will be at

either a guard or forward position, more than likely the former. Four football standouts are bati fling for positions in the starting backcout also, including senior John Custer and juniors Dave ■ Anspaugh, Jerry Egly and Max' i Elliott. Custer is a 5-10, 145 - pound returning letter Winner who played in 12 varsity contests last year but scored just 13 points. He should score much better this season, however, and should be one of the top threats. May Carry Spirit Anspaugh and Egly played just four games apiece last year, each scoring four points, but are good all-around, athletes and could dei velop rapidly. Elliott played very i briefly with the varsity last season, scoring two points in one i game, but he, too, is a good athlete and he, Anspaugh and Eigly could carry the winning football spirit 'into the basketball campaign and be very important cogs for McColly. Anspaugh is 5-9, weighs 158, while Egly stands 5-10 and weighs 152, and Elliott is 5-10 and weighs in at 172. A lot too, depends on Craig McEwan, one of the two tallest players on the squad. The 6-3, 175-pound senior suffers from a lack of experience, but-is working hard in practice sessions Yellow Jacket Season Tickets Are On Sale Basketball fans wishing to purchase season tickets for Decatur Yellow Jacket home games, and who did not have season tickets ■ last year,’ may buy their tickets and make seat reservations at the high school office during regular school hours Hugh J.

in an attempt to cure this weakness. If he develops, it could turn a losing season into a winning one. The big surprise could come from the only sophomore listed on pttTC'rfester, Sam Blythe. Blythe May Surprise A six-foot, 165-pounder, Blythe may be used at guard or forward. He has no varsity experience, but could develop into a good scorer and with his size should be a strong rebounder. He may be the “sleeper” of the entire bunch. Also battling for spots in the wide-open battles are seniors Denny Cookson and Kenny Riffle, and juniors Lynn Lehman and Dave Hammond. Cookson is 5-9, weighs 145, and has no varsity experience, while Riffle is 5-11 and 150 pounds. Both are good shooters and hard workers. Riffle saw action in one varsity game last season. Lehman stands 5-11 and weighs 140 pounds, and Hammond is a big boy, 6-3, 185, who could easily win a starting spot if he continues to develop. The overall picture is anything but bright, but McColly is one of those coaches who likes a tfhaljjbnge and doesn’t fold under pressure. He has broken even in his first two years, 20 wins and 20 losses, against top-flight competition.

Texas Retains Top Rating In College Ranks NEW YORK (UPD — Texas Coach Darrell Royal has more “straights” going for him than a riverboat gambler and he’s determined to play defense to the hilt to extend them. The top-ranked Longhorns, the nation’s only unbeaten-un-tied major college football team, were rated first by 31 of 35 coaches on the United Press International rating board Monday to increase their lead in the race for the national title. In the process they have won eight straight games this season, 12 straight over two seasons — the longest streak major college ranks;" and have not lost in 19 straight regular Season games. Seeks Bowl Bid Texas is seeking its third straight Southwest Conference title; its fifth straight bowl bid, its first national championship and its first perfect season since 1920. The Longhorns have been No. 1 in the country., for five straight weeks. Royal’s offense has scored only four touchdowns in the last three games but his defense has shut out opponents twice and four times allowed just one score. “Defense and sound kicking win football games.” Royal maintained, and Texas has both. For the first time this season the top ten remained intact, although there was quite a bit of shuffling. Navy cruised into second replacing Illinois; undefeated, once-tied Mississippi, en route to another Southeastern Conference crown/ finished third for the third ’’week in a row and Michigan State, leading the Big Ten, vaulted four places to fourth. 7“ Pitt Advances Pittsburgh jumped from ninth to fifth,- Oklahoma remained sixth and Alabama maintained its seventh-place ranking. Illinois slipped to eighth after its loss to Michigan, the Illini’s first of the season: Nebraska gained ninth place' and Auburn, which had its perfect record ruined by Mississippi Sta,te, dipped from fifth to 10th. Washington, winner of five consecutive games and on top in the Big Six race, moved up to No. 11; Army and Georgia Tech advanced to 12th and 13th respectiveiy and Baylor slid to 14th from 11th. Missouri remained 15th. Penn State defeated -Ohio State and replaced the Buckeyes in 16th, shoving them to 17th. Memphis State, the only other unbeaten (one tie) team in the rankings along with Mississippi and Texas, shared 18th with Syracuse and Arizona State, winner of six in a row after losing its season opener. ■ Pitt hosts Army, Missouri entertains Oklahoma and Georgia Tech and Alabama clash in Birmingham this weekend in games pairing ranked team. Cross Country Title To Michigan State CHAMPAIGN, 111. (UPD - Michigan State held the Big Ten cross country championship today for the eighth time in the last nine years, but Illinois’ Allen Carius, the conference’s indoor and outdoor two mild champion, added his second straight cross country title too. The Spartans placed all five of their runners in the fir.st 16 to take the team ’title with 46 points compared to 87 for run-ner-up- Wisconsin and 91 for third place Minnesota. It was the 11th win for Michigan State in 13 years in the conference. Carius was hard pressed for the title by Michigan State sophomore Dick Sharkey, who led for the first three miles, then held the lead going for the finish until Carius passed him in the homestretch. Carius won by 'only 10 yards with time of 19:39.4, breaking his own record for the University of Illinois course on the Savoy golf links. Sharkey was timed in 19 43.0. Other individual finishers included Mike Manley, Wisconsin, 3rd; Ted Benedict, Michigan. 1 4th; Norris Peterson, Minnesota, sth; Chris Murray, Michigan, 6th; Lee Assenheimer, Northwestern, 7th; Roger Day, Minnesota, Bth; Jim Weinert, Wisconsin. 9th; and Jan Bowen, Michigan State, 10th.

Elkhart High Is Mythical Slate Champ By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Elkhart’s Blue BlazeYs rode a 14game winning streak to the 1963 Indiana high school football mythical championship today. The United Press International coaches’ board gave coach John Janzaruk’s upstate powerhouse 8 of 10 ' first-place votes for 97 points, just three short of a perfect score. ? — It was only the second time this season for Elkhart to lead the pack. and the Blazers strengthened their bid for the mythical title last Friday with a thrill-packed 21-12 triumph oVer Hammond’ last year’s champ, in the Northern playoff scrap. The loss snapped a 19-game -unbeaten streak for the Wildcats. Janzaruk. an Indiana University product and 23-year coaching veteran, said this year's bunch was the best he ever put on the girdiron “because it can do so many things.” Featuring a versatile attack built around a junior quarterback, Mike Franger, Janzaruk predicted at the start of the season that Elkhart would be* tough barring injuries to key players. Lauds Franger The Blazers won four of nine regular-season..games by shutouts and theirl closest game was a 6-0 Northern Conference win at Michigan City. Franger, said Janzaruk, is the “greatest boy I ever coached,” on a club that was so well balanced that the four top ballcarriers scored 48; 48, 48 and 47 points, apiece. Franger, the only starting back to- return next year, passed for 10 touchdowns, booted four field goals, one a 40-yarder; completed 59 passes in 134 attempts for 980 yards and had just 6 throws intercepted, and netted 8.7 yards per try rushing. He carried the ball 44 times for 381 yards. One of the secrets of Elkhart’s success this year may have been conditioning. “We have a weight program -and we exercise,” said Janzaruk. “Our kids worked all summer—they’re strong and quick. We never tape an ankle.” Janzaruk, who assists in wrestling and track, said Hammond was a “good ball club, bigger than we > are. But maybe we were a bit quicker and could do more things.” “Kids Settled Down” He said when Hammond took a 6-0 lead in the first period, “our kids came back, settled down and played ball.” Franger and his two starting ends are the only regulars back next year but Janzaruk vowed “we'll be tough again if we find a few linemen.” He said a lot of players he used on defense this year will play offense in 1964. Richmond’s North Central Cohfernce champs remained second in the final roll cal) and Hammond third. Indianapolis Cathedral and Evansville North received the other first-place votes. South Bend Washington, Whiting, East Chicago Roosevelt, Richmond, South Bend Central and Evans Ville Reitz were other previous mythical state champs crowned by the UPI board.

AFL Not Ready To Challenge NFL Champs NEW YORK (UPD — The American Football League is “three to five years” away from reaching a level of performance that would permit ,4t to challenge the National League to a championship playoff game. This opinion was voiced Monday by Pete Retzlaff. president of the NFL Players’ Association, who added that the calibre of football in the AFL right now “is inferior to what we play in the NFL.” “If the San Diego Chargers (current leaders of the AFL Western Division) played any of the top NFL teams like the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears or New York Giants at this time, it would set them (the AFL) back badly,” insisted the Philadelphia Eagles’ veteran end. Retzlaff said NFL players “would have no objection” to matching their champion against the AFL champion in a playoff game in the future “bechuse we are interested in anything that would help our pension fund and improve our financial position.” He denied, however, that players from the rival leagues would pressure owners into arranging such a playoff because of the vast potential television .revenue. “When the time comes for 1 such a game, the fans will know it and they will demand -a playoff.” Retzlaff said. “But 1 don't see how the players, certainly not our players, can force a decision on the issue.” Retzlaff's remarks produced an immediate reply from AFL officials. “I don’t think he (Retzlaff should be speaking for the American -Football League,” said Lou Saban, coach of the Buffalo Bills. “We are looking . ahead to a playoff between the two leagues and hope it happens soon.’’
