Yellow Jackets Slated To Open Track Card Thursday Against Monmouth Eagles

By Bob Shraluka Needing a big helping hand frorti Old Man Weather, the Decatur high school track team would like to get the 1964 season off the ground Thursday — and that’s no April fool’s joke! The Jacket thinlies and Monmouth were originally scheduled to do battle at the Eagle track Thursday. But it's all up to the weatherman, who has been anything but cooperative thus far. Some of the runners have been able to get out to Worthman Field for a little running, despite the weather — and snow — but the lads in the field events havn’t got much practice in at all. Weather permitting, however, the two will open the season in a dual meet scheduled to start at 3:30 pm. Strong, But Thin The Jacket squad includes some potentially strong performers in various events, but as a whole the squad is relatively weak, losing a number of standouts from last year’s squad

through graduation. Only seven lettermen return, most notable of whom are Dave Anspaugh and Buster Melchi, a pair of school record holders, and big Dave Hammond and Tom Whitaker. As a sophomore last season, Anspaugh cracked the school record in the pole vault, twice leaping 11 feet, three inches. Anspaugh broke Don Farr’s 39-year-old record of 11 feet in the Northeastern Indiana conference meet at Columbia City May 1, and tied the mark May 7. A real competitor, the power-fully-built lad should bring home a “batch” of blue ribbons this season. The school purchased a fiberglass pole during the offseason and if Anspaugh ever gets some good weather to work out with the new pole .the sky could be the limit for the junior. Dave may also gain a few ribbons in the low hurdles and will probably make up a fourth of, the half-mile relay team.

Melchi in Highs Melchi bested Jack Heller's previous high hurdles record last i season with a 16.7 performance, 1 and coach Wally Yeoman thinks he can turn in even better times this season. He will be performing in several other events, including the high jump, broad jump and mile relay. An all-arouqfl athlete Melchi could be the team’s best performer in several events. Hammond, tne Dig junior, steadily improved last season until he copped a blue ribbon in the event in the county meet. He came within less than three feet of the school’s record in the shot on several occasions, but may establish a new mark before this season is over. Whitaker, also a junior, is another lad who showed great strides of progress last season. If the improvement continues this season, he could take home plenty of blue ribbons in the long- ' — distance event. Hard-working *Tom will also be a member of

the relay team. Other lettermen include junior Dave Smith and seniors Kenny Riffle and Craig McEwan. Smith won some ribbons last year and should win more this season in the 440 and with the mile relay team. McEwan could combine with Melchi to give Decatur a good one-two punch in the high hurdles, and he will also be a high-jump-er. Riffle, in addition to being a member of the mile relayers, will run the 880. Yeoman says Riffle is working hard in what early practice the team has had, and could give some top-flight performances this season. Weak in Dashes The local thinlies will be very weak in the dashes of 100, 220 and 440 yards, unless some surprise newcomer turns up. There are no returnees in either the 100 or 220 and only David Smith appears capable of winning many ribbons in the 440. Melchi may

be pressed into service in the 100 and 220. Yeoman thinks the mile relay team of Smith, Whitaker, Riffle and Melchi, or Ron Smith, McEwan or Denny Sheets, could be fairly strong. The half-mile team will be composed of Anspaugh, and either McEwan, Gary Krueckeberg, Al Sprunger, Jack Stauffer or Bob Morris. Some of the team candidates and their tentative events are: Steve Hazelwood, shot put; Steve Hess, 880; Kruecekeberg, dashes and broad jump; George La Turner, shot; Ken Uhrick, 880; Dave Adams, mile, and pole vault; Steve Beavers, shot; Jim Brown, mile; Andy Crider, dashes and broad jump; Bob DeVoss. 880; Darrel Grote, shot; Stauffer, dashes and broad jump; Dave Collier, 880; Dick Cowens, 440; Dan Miller, high hurdles and 440; Morris, dashes; Pete Ortiz, dashes and low hurdles; Sheets, 880; Dave Smith, mile; Ron Smith,

The Eagles Tuesday traded ace passer Jurgensen and defensive halfback Jimmy Carr to the Redskins in exchange for the promising Snead and Claude Crabb, also a defensive back. - Kuharich said Snead would be a “real cog” in his plans to rebuild the Eagles, who finished last the past two years in the Eastern Division of the National Football League. McPeak said in Washington the acquisition of Jurgensen could mean an NFL title for the Redskins next season. He said “winning In 1964 is imperative” and “Jurgensen, with the right supporting cast, can take us all the way.” Kuharich also stressed Snead’s youth and bright future.” Jurgensen is 29 and Carr 31. Both Snead and Crabb are 24. It was the second major trade for the Eagles in 11 days. They traded star flanker back Tommy McDonald, one of Jurgensen’s favorite targets, to the Dallas Cowboys on March 20 for kicker Sam Baker and linemen John Meyers and Lynn Hoyem. Jurgensen, who set a 1961 league record of 32 touchdown passes in his first year as first string quarterback for the Eagles, said he was “surprised” and “disappointed” at the trade. The former Duke University star who has been hampered by injuries the past two years said he had talked with Kuharich “about 10 to 15 days ago about plans for the coming season. He asked me a lot of things about the team.” Snead, a standout at Wake Forest, became the first string quarterback for the Redskins in 1961. his rookie year. He had a good year in 1962 and 1963, throwing for 22 touchdowns in 1962 and 184 completions out of 354 attempts and 2,926 yards gained.

By United Press International Some Detroit fans keep insisting that Terry Sawchuk can beat the Chicago Black Hawks with one hand. They could be right. Sawchuk climbed out of a hospital bed at Detroit Tuesday night and blanked the Black Hawks, 3-0, to give the Red Wings a 2-1 lead in the semifinals of the National Hockey League’s Stanley Cup playoffs. The Montreal Canadiens also gained a similar advanage over the Toronto Maple Leafs in their best-of-seven set by scoring a comeback 3-2 victory on Henri Richard’s goal with 25 seconds left to play at Toronto. Sawchuk suffered a pinched nerve in his. left shoulder at Chicago Sunday night. He checked into Detroit’s Osteopathic Hospital Monday morning and remained, there until.... late Tuesday when he was given permission to rejoin his teammates. Although his shoulder still pained him, the veteran netminder handled 26 Chicago shots flawlessly in posting his 11th shutout in cup play, two short of the all-time record held by former Toronto goalie Turk Broda. The Black Hawks, who haven’t beaten Sawchuk on Detroit ice since Feb. 24, 1962, fell behind at 5:10 of the opening period when Bruce McGregor tipped in a slap shot by Gordie Howe, who was celebrating his 36th birthday. Howe also set up a third period goal by Alex DelVecchio. The Red Wings’ other goal was credited to rookie Paul Henderson, who beat Glenn Hall early in the final session. Sawchuk, who said he dropped his stick twice because “my shoulder pained me,” returned to the hospital after the
