agreement was worked out in a LaPorte Superior Court suit Thursday which expanded registration facilities in that area. Smith sa.d hfc learned late Thursday from “a very reliable source" that GOP headquarters at Indianapolis is behind a movement to block Democratic efforts to provide more regi tration sites and more registration deputies before the deadline arrives Oct. 5 in advance of the Nov. 3 election; Smith and John Sweeney, the other co-chairman of the registration committee, took their fight for legistration expansion to Judge Norman Salwasser's court. But a compromise was worked out which gave the Democ.ats less than they asked for but required the Republicans to expand registration beyond the limits they favored. • Barbara Johnson At Baptist Conference Barbara Ann Johnson, of 225 North Ninth Street, is attending the Baptist student conference at the Amcricap Baptist assembly, Green Lake, Wis.

Kickoff At 8

Jackets' Home Opener Tonight

The Decatur Yellow Jackets go up against a jinx that has been standing for the past 11 years tonight, when they host Garrett’s Railroaders in the season’s home opener. With the 8 o'clock kickoff at Worthman Field tonight, the Jackets will be out to snap a winless skein that has extended over the past 11 seasons in the series between the two clubs. Tonight's home opener, expected to draw one of the largest football Crowds in the history of Decatur, will pit a spirited and explosive Yellow Jacket eleven that won iiits first game last week, agairst a rugged, beefy Garrett outfit that is (smarting fropi A » 1913 loss to Elmhurst in its season lid-lifter. Decatur last beat Garrett on a football field in 1952. when they recorded a 21-6 decision over the Railroaders. Although there have been a pair of ties, the Jackets have failed to beat Garrett since that time. No other club on the schedule approaches this type of "jinx” over Decatur teams. Huge Line , Tonight’s game is also billed as the second of The Big Three.’Decatur must get by Garrett Weight and New-Haven next week for a shot at the Northeastern Indiana Conference's 1964 title. Garret will present a line, both offensively and defensively, that will be bigger than Auburn’s. Whether or not they are as rugged remains to be seen. A probable starting lineup will see Dave Miller, 6-3, 156 pounds, and Barry McNamara. 5-10 160, at ends; Glen Ludban, 6-3, 240, and Vic Hunter, six-foot, 190, at tackles; Jim Denes. 5-10 and 177, and Bob Byanski, 5-8, 180, at guards, with either Randy Davis, 5-10, 222, or Jim Corry, 5-10. 178, at center. • In Backileld Dave Steward, 6-0, 155 pounds,

and Rick Lewis, 6-0, 185 pounds, both just juniors, are regulars returning from last year and will start at hallback and fullback respectively. John .Mauer, the quarterback, and Art Hopkins, halfback, each six-foot tall and weighing about 165 round out the starting backfield. The Railroaders, like Auburn, will use a single-wing attack with an unbalanced line, and can be expected to pound away at Decatur's defnsive tackles and ends. The Railroaders may also use the pass frequently. Ludban, the 240-pounder, and -1 I Illi I .11 !

The Trailer Sales, winners of 19 of 20 games during the regular season, reached Casting Co. hurler Les Linn for only four hits, and the Casting Co. pushed over the winning run in the eightn inning on Tom Gibbons’ triple and Dick Marbaugh’s sacrifice fly. Four teams now remain the double-elimination meet. Casting Co. and McMillen are both un- . beaten, while Vernors and Trailer Sales have lost once each.

Bruce Custer, a 5-10, 225-pounder, will anchor Garret’s defensive line, at tackle. McNamara, 156 pounds, and Ed Myens, 6-1, 195 pounds, and George Rugman, 6-1, 215 pounds, will give the Railroaders a defensive forward wall that will average about 206 pounds per man! And their linebackers aren’t much smaller. In addition, sitting on the bench will be Tom Parvu, a 6-1, 215 pound end. and Rod Andrews, a 5-10, 218 pound tackle. , Jackets Sound The Yellow Jackets will be physically sound for tonight’s battle, and are expected to stick with the starting offensive and defensive units from the Auburn game. One change will be the addition of Lon Hawkins, a rugged 160poundcr, who will see quite a bit of action in the defensive backfield. Many of the substitutes will see plenty of action this evening as coaches Yeoman and Brandenburg will attempt to give the starters as much rest as possible, especially if the heat and humid weather prevail. Max Elliott, bothered lately by hay fever, as is end Dave Anderson, will be the big threat in the Yellow Jacket backfield once again, but Garret will find itself in trouble if it trys to key on Elliott. Rest Strong Bill Blythe, Elliott’s halfback .running mate, turned in probably his finest game as a Yellow Jacket at Auburn last week, and gives the Decaturites threats to both sides of the field. Sam Blythe will be counted on to pick up yardage through that big Garrett defensive line, and Dave Anspaugh’s quarterbacking will also be a key to the club's performance. Much of the burden, however, will rest on the defensive ends, Dave and Ron Smith, and Tom Whitaker, and the tackles, John Eichenauer and Darryl Grote, along with linebackers Jerry Egly, Sam Blythe, Anderson and Al Sprunger, who must stop that Garrett running attack.
