Veteran Jerry Egly Leads Quartet Os Talented Guards

(Editor’s Note: Third in a series of five articles outlining, position by position, the 1964 Decatur high school football squad.) You can spell Decatur’s hopes for a good football season E—G—L— Y, for if Jerry Egly’s healthy, so is the guard situation — and so is the entire team. Pep Session, Team Drills Friday Night Decatur football fans, and especially parents of the players, are invited to attend an evening workout of the Yellow Jackets at Worthman Field Friday night. The session is slated to start at 7:30 o’clock, and head coach Wally Yeoman has issued a special invitation to parents of the team members to atend the workout “to see what the boys are doing in practices” There will be two sessions at the same time, as the varsity will hold their “session, and the freshman - sophomore team will also be drilled at the same time, Which means that all boys out for football will be included. Pep Session The seven team cheerleaders, Barbara Conrad, Pam Heffner, Cheri Jacobs, Carole Mitch, Linda Kenworthy, Sandy Singleton and Shelley Jones, will conduct a pep session for the students attending at approximately 8 o’clock Friday night. The pep session will follow the team practice. The cheerleaders will have season tickets, priced at $3 for adults and $2.50 for students, on sale Friday night, and also bus tickets for the trip to Auburn Friday, September 4, for the regular season opener. In addition, the cheerleaders have said they will sell the season ducats and bus tickets at school registration next week, Monday through Thursday. Bus Tickets are only 25 cents. Reserved Seats Local fans are reminded by athletic director Bob Worthman that they must contact Mrs. Annie Alton at the school yet this week if they wish to retain the reserved’ seat tickets they held last season. Non-reserved season tickets may also be purchased at the school and at Holthouse-on-the-Highway. Jamboree tickets, which are priced at $1 for everyone, and are all general admission tickets, may also be obtained at the opening quarter of the jamboree, with Bluffton going against Berne and Hartford City, respectively, in the second and third periods. The Yellow Jackets will battle Berne in the fourth and final stanza.

This writer certainly hasn’t seen all of them, but we’d still wager quite a few coins that no matter how far back you go in Decatur high school football history, you couldn’t find a player any tougher, any meaner, or with any more love for the game, then Jerry Egly. His honors are many and this year there should be many more. An all NEIC performer the past two seasons, and twice recepient of the Booster Club’s Most Tackles award, Egly’s teammates bestowed the finest honor of all on him at the conclusion of last season — captain of the 1964 souad. Looked To Egly is the player the freshman are awed by, the player the entire team looks up to. The Yellow Jacket hopes for a repeat of last year’s 6-3 season, or better, ride with Max Elliott, Dave Anspaugh, the Blythe boys, John Eichenauer, and others. But most of all, they ride with Jerry Egly. Conference foes will be glad to hear Egly has finally reached the senior class. The senior stands 5-10, weighing 160 pounds. That 160 pounds may not be much, but don’t Jet the size fool you. Magley Back Egly is without a doubt the toughest linebacker in the conference, and one of the best offensive guards around. His starting partner from last season, Tim Magley, a 5-8, 150 pound senior returns this season. They* are perfectly suited for coach Wally Yeoman’s brand of football, which calls for guards with speed and good reflexes to pull and lead the play. Both have the speed and are good blockers. Egly, of course, has plenty of experience, beginning his third year as a starter. Magley, with the experience he gained last season, should be even better this year. * Magley, the brother of former Yellow Jacket halfback Dave Magley and cousin of a former tackle for the Jackets, Herb Magley, enjoys the body contact like Eglv, and has shown no signs of resting on past laurels this season. Lack Quantity There may be a problem of depth among the guards, but it will be for the lack of quantity, not quality, if pre-season practices are any indication. Backing up Egly and Magley are junior Kip Lutes and senior Gary Pettibone, neither of whom has any experience, but might be a big surprise before the season is over. Lutes, a well-built 5-8, 145 pounder, is up from last year’s reserve team. Pettibone also carries a well-built frame, pack-

ing 170 pounds on his five feet, 10 inches. ' Yeoman said recently that both have “looked good’’ in early Major Leagues By I'nlted Prexx International American I.enaue W. 1,. Pct.

Thursday's Games San Francisco at Milwaukee, night Indianapolis Seeking Franchise In AFL INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — A group of Indianapolis business and sportsmen will mail an application by Sept. 1, seeking, a franchise in the American Football League. Paul Oakes, chairman of the Indianapolis Professional Sports Association, said the central location of thd Hoosier capital with a population of more than two million in a 75-mile radius makes Indianapolis a top contender. About 36 applications were mailed to cities by league commissioner Joe Foss. Oakes got the application two months ago and sought support from Al Savill, head of the Indianapolis Warriors of the United Football League. Both will submit the application to Foss, who indicated Indianapolis is one of the league’s top prospects for expansion in the next three years. Indianapolis would not have two competing teams if the AFL franchise comes through. Savill would drop his UFL contract, Oakes said. f.’ "’l’-,''} '’V' .- . ’

THE DECATUR DAILY DTHIAT. DECATUR. OOMAIIA

'Hurrying Hugh' Done?

Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer FAIRFIELD, Conn. (UPI) — Heavy-hearted Hugh McElhenny, a man whose total yardage reads like boxcar figures, had just finished walking the roughest 50 yards of his life. It was an abnormally slow, painful walk for the rugged, 35-year-old halfback because he was saying good-bye to all his teammates on the New York football Giants. Most of them didn’t really know What to say to a fellow they once called “The King.” What can anyone really say to a veteran who has just been dropped from the squad? “Touch luck, Mac,” said one of his teammates, offering his -hand. “With you all the best, Hughie,” said another.

practice sessions. After they gather some game experience, "the Yellow Jackets could possess four very talented guards, and the more the better. Looks Good To summarize, the guard position looks good. If Egly stays healthy there should be no worries. Magley will provide the team with a pair of good, wellexperienced guards and if Lutes and Pettibone continue to show the hard work and improvement they have demonstrated thus far, any injuries shouldn’t take much steam out of the attack. Tommorrow: A look at two ‘solid’ positions, the fullbacks and halfbacks. Ht. Wt. Yr. Jerry Egly 5-10 160 Sr. Tim Magley 5-8 150 Sr. Gary Pettibone 5-10 170 Sr. Kip Lutes 5-8 145 Jr. Giles Scoffs At Wills' Balk Claim CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPI) — Maury Wills’ claim that National League umpires are under orders not to enforce the balk rule this year drew a scoffing denial today from league presi- . dent Warren Giles. “No umpire was deprived of a Christmas bonus because such bonuses are not paid by the National League to its unpires,” said Giles in reply to the Dodger base - stealing whiz’s comments of last Sunday. Wills had charged an umpire told him he lost his Christmas bonus because he refused. to obey a league order not to enforce the balk rule. He said he understood another umpire’s salary was cut for the same reason. “No umpire on the staff is receiving less in salary than he did in any pervious year. No meeting with the umpires, for the purpose of discussing the balk rule has been held this year and no umpire has discussed the rule with me this season.” Stauffer Suffers Shoulder Injury - The first major injury of the Decatur Yellow Jacket pre-season training drills occurred Tuesday' evening, but from reports this afternoon, the injury may not be as serious as first believed. Jack Stauffer, senior reserve fullback, suffered a dislocation of the shoulder, however, went back into place before Stauffer left for the hospital. The rugged back, who is battling for a first - string job, was x-rayed this morning and it is now believed that the injury was not as serious as first behaved, and that Stauffer may be able to begin practicing again by the end of this week or sometime next week. Suburban League To Open Play Friday The women's Friday night suburban league will open its fall and winter schedule at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Villa Lanes. One team of five women is needed to fill the league, and either experienced or beginning bowlers are welcome to join the league.

Time Te Think When it was all over, McElhenny, who gained a total of 11.239 yards during his 12 seasons in the gnational Football League with the San Francisco Forty-Niners, Minnesota Vikings and Giants, had a lot of time to think. “I have nothing going,” he confessed frankly to someone who asked him about his plans. ST honestly don’t know whether I’ll try to gtt a job with another club," he said. “I heaven’t given any thought to it at all. I heaven’t the least idea what I’m going to do.” Telling the likeable McElhenny he no longer was a member of the Giants at their training site here Tuesday was almost as difficult for head coach Allie Sherman as it was for the 190pound veteran to accept the news. "Sometimes I think this is the roughest part of the job,” Sherman said. * Faced Age Problem McElhenny fully realized his age was against him when Sherman had to cut the squad to 45 players Tuesday and he also knew he was vulnerable because a knee injury limited his activity last year. Somehow he kept hoping he might escape the axe. • “In some respects it was a shock to get the news,” he said, “and in some respects it wasn’t. “Football has been awful good to me,” he said quietly. “I certainly have no complaints. Playing in that title game with the Giants against .the Bears last year was the biggest thrill of my life.” Now, it seemed, there was nothing left. McElhenny stuffed the last piece of gear in his bag and slowly headed home. Grid Giants Shuffle Team By United Press International Can the New York Giants repeat as the National Football League’s Eastern Division champions with only six • running backs, including three rookies? This question was uppermost in the minds of NFL fans to-, day after the Giants made the largest player shuffle in the histhe club. ftlew York swapped Phil King, its top ground gainer last season, to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a future draft pick. ’ln addition they traded their No. 1 draft choice, halfback Joe Don Looney, and sub lineman Lou Kirouac to the Baltimore Colts for flanker R. C. (Alley Oop) Owens and defensive halfback Andy Nelson. Twelve year veteran Hugh McElhenny, one of the all-time great halfbacks, and quarterback Glynn Griffing were given their releases. The Giants now have veteran running backs Joe Morrison, Alex Webster and Dick James teamed with rookies Ernie Wheelwright, Clarence Childs and Steve Thrulow to launch the new season. The . Giants also dropped flanker Louis Guy, a two year man, and rookies Millard Fleming, and Bill Pashe, both halfbacks; tackle Frank Lasky and linebacker Tom Costello. They also placed Ed Adamchick, a rookie guard on the injured reserve list. Schumaker Qualifies AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (UPI)—-Dave Schumaker, Fort Wayne, Ind., carded a 74 Tuesday to qualify for the Western Junior Golf championship.
