Pigskin Preview: \ Defense Should Be Sound; J Linebacking Best In NEIC

By Bob Shraluka (Editor’s Note: Final in a scries of aix articles previewing, position by position, the 1964 Decatur high school football team.) A team's defense can be its best offense, and in this sixth and final article, we look at the main performers of the Yellow Jacket defensive unit. There are several key losses that will no doubt be felt before the upcoming season concludes. The main losses include those of Steve Hazelwood, Deane Lehman and Greg Ladd, the top men in last season's defensive forward wall. Gone also are Tom Macklin and Manny Ybarra. But all is not lost, and if two or three linemen being counted upon can come through, last season's impressive defensive record could be even better in ’64. Several Return Several star performers from the defensive unit of last season return for another campaign, including the best pair of linebackers in the Northeastern Indiana Conference—Jerry Egly and Sam Blythe. M The 175-pound Blythe and Egly, a 160-pounder, were the best in the NEIC last season, and should be even tougher this campaign. Both like to "hit” and ea ch is quick to spot where the play is going. Ixx>k for these two to get up from three of every four pileups. Coaches Yeoman and Brandenburg are looking for a third backer to go with Egly and Blythe Chief candidates thus far are Kip Lutes, 5-8, 145 pounds, and Gary Pettibone, 5-10, 170 pounds. If one of those two can’t handle the job, “Bugs" Sprunger, a 130-pounder who packs a lot of punch, may be moved from halfback Into a linebacker slot. Interior Linemen Best bets for interior linemen in the five-man forward wall are Terry Smitlcy, John Eichenauer and Darryl Grote, weighing 235, 185 and 200 respectively. "Ike" will more than likely turn into one of the tea'm's defensive stars, and Smitley and

Grote, after gaining some experience, could do the same. Tim Magley, a 150-pounder, will also be used in the Interior. Though short on experience, these four own the necessary strength and size to hold thejf own against any opponent. The offensive ends will handle the same duties on defense. Probable starters are sophomore Dave Anderson and senior Dave Smith, both 160-ix>unders. Hugged Dave Hammond and Ron Smith, weighing 195 pounds each, or-150-pound Tom Whitaker, however, move into a starting role at any time. Deep Backs The deep backs of the defensive eleven will feature Bill Blythe. Max Elliott, and Sprunger, If he isn't needed at linebacker. Archer Retains Carling Lead BIRMINGHAM. Mich (UPD — Only nine strokes separated pacemaker George Archer from ’hi' last man in the field today heading into the third round of golf's richest tournament ever, the s2ot) - (MX) Carling Open. Wind and rain evened the competition Friday and Archer, who set a course record with a first round 65. moved back to his competition with a four over par 74, fighting wind every step of th l par 70 6,907 - yard Oakland Hills course to tally 139 for 36 holes. Archer's round, even before the rain, opened the door for one of the 48 foreign entrants. Pete Busier of England .and the U. S. PGA champion. Bobby Nichols, t oupll within one stroke of him. Two strokes back were a trio of challengers, including the most famed charger in golf. Arnold Palmer. Palmer started his charge Friday; but ran into a barricade on the 16th when his two under par score at that point was ruined on the one hole. He hit into water, then into a trap, and took a triple-bogey seven. Jack Nicklaus. on the other hand, had ho compalints. "1 went par. birdie par in the rain." he said, "but if they want to wash the round out. it's all right with me." Nichlaus had a 72 for 145.

Blythe and Elliott are good tacklers and have the speed to "cover up" if they make a mistake. They handled these positions last season, and thus are not strangers to the defensive backfield. Sprunger may be the best tackler of the three, and also has the speed required in one of the deep positions. Dave Anspaugh, Ralph Canales, Nick Smitley, Ix>n Hawkins, or one of the other offensive backs might be used here also. In summary, the Yellow Jackets have the jxHential to throw up n stout defense to do with its explosive offensive backfield. Last year's defensive jjnlt, after giving up 43 points in the first three games, allowed only 34 in the final six contests. Three Zeroes For the season, the unit racked up three shutouts and posted a g<x)d defensive average (especially considering the first three games! of 1(7.7 points per contest. If the 1964 edition can maintain. or lower, that average they should win plenty «of ball games. For if the offensive unit is healthy. Decatur is going to score more than 10 a game. Pass defense was the weak link last year, but you can bet the coaching staff will have that curSandy Koufax Still Has Arm Miseries ST. LOUIS (DPI) — Southpaw Koufax tried out his bad arm in the bulpen for five minutes and Los Angeles manager Walter Alston said Friday night "he won't be able to pitch for at least another Week." It was a bad blow for Koufax and the Dodgers., Koufax, who won 25 games last season, has chalked up 19 victories and has been unable to pitch since August 16 because of an injured left elbow. Koufax had been hopeful before leaving the West Coast that he would pitch in the Cardinal series. Alston said after Kuofax worked out for the first time was unable to "loosen up his arm."

ed for the new season. Most of the time but the team will use a five-man forward wall with three linebackers, who will change positions with the play, and three deep backs. What impressed this writer most about last year's defensive unit was the good tackling, and the “gang tackling.” When an opposing ball carrier was hit he was hit by more than one tackler. This is "gang tackling." It makes a good defensive team a great one. Lets hope for some more in ‘64!

Gerber’s hole-in-one matched Gary Schultz’ fee on the same hole Thursday afternoon.
