Decatur Entertains Jinx Garrett Eleven In Home Opener Friday

Jackets Attempt To Snap 11-Year Winless String

It will be the Auburn game all over again, plus Decatur’s No. 1 jinx, when the Yellow Jackets open their home portion of the 1964 schedule at Worthman Field Friday night . The Jackets, 7-6 winners in their season opener at Red Devil land last week, go against Garrett’s Railroaders, without a doubt the jinx team on the Decatur football schedule. Game time Friday night, the first of five home games this year, is 8 o’clock. A huge crowd is expected to be on hand for the affair, if the crowd at Auburn last week is any indication. The Decaturites will be facing a team that is almost a carbon copy of Auburn, but a team that also seems to hold the “Indian Sign” over Yellow Jacket football teams. 11 Long Years It has been 11 long years since a Decatur football team has beaten one from-J Garrett — that’s right, 11 years. Decatur bested Garrett by a 21-6 score at Worthman Field back in 1952, and since that time has only a pair of ties to show for their series with the Railroaders, as compared to nine losses. If Decatur ever had a football jinx, -its Garrett. The only other team that even approaches Booster Club Drive Committee To Meet Members of the Decatur High School Booster clAb’s membership committee are asked to attend an important meeting at the Winter-egg-Linn funeral home at 7,30 p.m. Thursday.

that type of mastery la. Rew Haven, which has triumphed in the last seven battles between the two teams. There have been some close ball games, in fact two ties, but never has a Decatur team beaten Garrett in the past 11 meetings. After losing that 1952 battle, the Railroaders came back with a 27-0 win in 1953, added a 20-6 triumph in 1954, and a 20-0 verdict in 1955. Snap Streak Decatur had a 3-0 record in 1956 until they ran into Garrett, and a 19-6 loss. In 1957, the Railroaders scored in the closing seconds for a 7-0 triumph, and in 1958 and 1959 they posted identical 27-0 wins. » Finally, after seven losing years, the Yellow Jackets salvaged a 13-13 tie in 1960, but.in 1961, it was Garrett again, winding a 6- battle. The following season, the two battled to a 7-7 draw at Worthman field, and last year, the Railroaders recorded a 22-6 win. Big Three This is also the second game of Big Three for the Yellow Jackets. Auburn, Garrett and New Haven, who comes in the following week, look to be three of the better teams in the NEIC, and if the Jackets cap get by these three, they will be well on the way to a conference title. Coaches Wally Yeoman and Steve Brandenburg have drilled the team this week on mistakes made in the Auburn game, as about the only difference in this Week’s game from last week will be the color of the jerseys. The Railroaders will use the same single-wing attack as Auburn, with an unbalanced line. Most of their strength will revolve around line smashes at the tackle and end spots. And, Garrett will throw up another big line at the Yellow Jackets. Hieir defensive forward wall will be anchored by a pair of tackles weighing in at 245 and 220 pounds. The Railroaders have lost George Hathaway and Larry Wartsler from their backfield of last year’s potent squad, but retain. another pair of talented backs in Rick Lewis and Dave Steward. Many of last Reason’s regulars in the line are also returning for another season. Good Shape Barring any happenings in practice sessions today and Thursday, the Yellow Jackets will go into the home opener in good shape. Due to see more action this Friday are some of the reserves who turned in good performance last week and who will be used to give some of the regulars more rest this week. Lon Hawkins, sophomore defensive back, who performed well at Auburn will probably see more duty this week. Jack Stauffer, reserve fullback who suffered a shoulder separation in practice before the jamboree, may also see some action this week. Adams Central Is Bested By 7-3 Score A four-run salvo in the second inning carried Monroeville to a 7- triumph over Adams Central in a high school baseball game played at the Allen county team’s diamond Tuesday. Adams Central jumped into a 3-0 first inning lead, but were • shut out the rest of the way by three Monroeville hurlers. The Cubs tallied once in their half of the opening inning, and then sent home four more in the second frame. 'nie Jets got their runs on a single by Morningstar, a walk to Rash, a , double by Funk and Green’s sacrifice fly. Smith went the distance for Adams Central.

Cannon, Michaels And

Woodson In Grid Deals

By United Presa International Lou Michaels figured his days with the Pittsburgh Steelers were numbered after being suspended last week for allegedly breaking graining rules and slugging a teammate. Lou figured right. The Steelers traded the leftfooted placekicker and defensive end to the Baltimore Colts Tuesday for linebacker Bill Saul and rookie back Mary Woodson as all National Football League teams got down to the 40-play-er limit for the start of the new season next weekend. Michaels, who set an NFL record by booting 26 field goals and scoring 110 points in 1962, was suspended indefinitely by head Coach Buddy Parker of Steelers last week for his af-ter-hours fracas. He was returned to the squad on a probationary basis two days later but did not play against the Baltimore Colts in an exhibition game at Canton, Ohio, Sunday. Pottios Is Ont In that game against the Colts, all-pro middle linebacker Mvron Pottios of the Steelers suffered a broken right arm and another linebacker, Bob Harrison, was sidelined with a shoulder separation. So when the same Colts offered Saul and Bingen Nips Flatrock To Finish Unbeaten Bingen shutout Flatrock grade school by a 4-0 score to finish the season unbeaten in the circuit A Lutheran grade school league. The circuit A league will open its playoffs this Sunday. In the final game Scheumann and Berning tossed shutout ball as Bingen, through outhit, 4-3, posted its triumph to finish with a perfect mark. Line score: Flatrock 000 000—0 4 1 Bingen —ll l Olx—4 3 3 R. Hoffman and M. Burger; Scheumann, Berning and Braun. Jobless Pay Claims Continue Low Here Unemployment continued in Adams county at a record low, with six new claims and 33 continued claims, for a total of 39 claims, filed ' with Indiana employment security division this past week ending Saturday, Richard P. App, manager of the Fort Wayne office, announced today. Unemployment compensation covers about half of the county’s 9,000 workers, according to the 1960 census and IESD figures. In 1963, 58 were unemployed a year ago; 60 in 1963; 177 in 1961. Figures for 1960 are not available, but unemployment at the end of the year was nearly 300 a week in Adams county. Caston Appointed To Tax Adjustment Board Earl Caston, of the First State Bank, and a resident of route 1, has been appointed to the county tax adjustment board to replace Louis Reinking, it was announced this morning by Adams circuit court Judge Myles F. Parrish, who made the appointment. Okay Appropriation To Firemen's Fund The Decatur city council -met Tuesday night in special session to approve an additional appropriation of 2838.56 to the firemen ts’ pension fund.

Woodson for Michaels, the Steelers okayed the deal. The Steelers earlier had acquired linebacker Carl Brettschneider from the Detroit Lions for a future draft choice, but cancelled that trade when it was learned Brettschneider had an injured leg. Parker then completed his busy day of wheeling and dealing by purchasing tackle Ray Mansfield from the Philadelphia Eagles. To reach the 40-player limit, the Steelers released four men —flankerback Roy Curry, tackle Frank Atkinson, guard Tom Jenkins and defensive back Al HaU. The Dallas Cowboys placed Sonny Gibbs on their waiver list and hoped some NFL club would claim him, else they will have to pay the 6-feeM, former TCU quarterback the balance of a SIOO,OOO three-year “no-cut” contract he signed last year. Regular Bench-Warmer Gibbs took part in only one play of an exhibition game in his 1963 rookie year, sat on the bench during the regular season and was used sparingly in this year’s pre-season games. The Cowboys also eut a pair of rookies — quarterback John Jacobs and end Jimmy Evans. The New York Giants put linebacker Jerry Hillebrand, end Joe Walton and defensive tackle Tony Dimidio on the in-jury-waiverl lift ‘and asked" 1, for outright wgivers on rookie passcatcher Homer Jones. The sir moves technically put the Giants one player under the limit, Indicating they hope to claim a defensive lineman. or linebacker from the waiver list of another NFL club. It looks as* if the Oakland Raiders second place finish in the Western Conference last year wasn’t satisfying enough to Coach Al Davis or the Oakland brass. As the American Football League teams trimmed their rosters to the 34 player limit Tuesday, the Raiders took a big step toward obtaining the number one spot in the Western Division this season. Hie Raiders obtained former Heisman Trophy winner Billy Cannon from the Houston Oilers and grabbed star pass catcher Bill Miller from the Buffalo Bills. Minor Incident At Auction Sale Site Sheriff Roger Singleton said at noon today that no further incidents at the Berne-Geneva livestock auction were reported to him Tuesday afternoon or today. An independent trucker, Wilson Amstutz, had pulled into the auction locaiton Tuesday morning and drove through about 25 or 30 NFO members to the loading chute, and moments later found an ice pick sticking from the side of one of his tires. The sheriff’s department was notified of the incident and went to the scene. Dan Stewart, one of the owners of the auction, called off the sale scheduled for Tuesday night. Sheriff Singleton said today that nothing else happened at the auction, with the exception of a very minor incident, He said a truck driver reported that one of the pickets had stuck a tire iron through the spokes of one of his truck’s wheels, but the driver said there was no damage done.

Wagley Funeral Is Held This Morning Funeral services were held at the Yager funeral home this morning for Henry O, Wagley, Sr., of Berne route 2, who died Sunday night at the Adams county memorial hospital. The body was taken to Huxley, la., for burial. Among survivors are two brother*, Sheldon J. Wagley of Decatur route 6, and Leonard Wagley of Geneva, route 2. The Geneva Masonic lodge and Order of Eastern Star held memorial services at the funeral home Tuesday evening.

Yanks Move To A Game Os The Orioles

By TIM MORIARTY UPI Sports Writer i - * Yogi Berra, like a lot of peot finds Mel Stottlemyre’s a little difficult to proi New York Yankees’ manager, though, doesn’t have any trouble explaining how happy he is that Mel was called up from Richmond of the International League a month ago to bolster his shaky pitching staff. “Any pitcher who keeps the ball low the way he does can’t miss sticking in the majors,” says Berra. “He’s a wonderful prospect.” Stottlemyre is more than that. Although only 22, he's showing signs of developing into the stopper of the Yankee staff. The right - hander from Yakima, Wash., used his sinker ball to pitch the Yankees to within a game of the pace-set-ting Baltimore Orioles and to one percentage point of the second place Chicago White Sox when he beat the Minnesota Twins 2-1 Tuesday night in the only American League action. Show* Good Control Stottlemyre scattered nine hits while New York collected only four off Camilo Pascual and two successors. But the Yankee rookie struck out eight and again showed marvelous control by issuing only one walk. In gaining his fifth victory in seven decisions, Stottlemyre lowered his earned run average to a nifty 1.96. He has given up only 12 earned runs in 55 innings. The Yankees scored an unearned run in the top of the first and the Twins got it back in the bottom half on singles by Rich Rollins and Zoilo Versalles and Harmon Killebrew’s fielder’s choice. Pascual then retired 17 Yankees in a row until Roger Maris led off the seventh with a double to right. After Mickey Mantle walked and Joe Pepitone
