b Expanded The program has been expanded this year to include two more age groups of boys, six in all. Whereas last year’s competition included boys eight through 11, this year’s program will include the same group of boys, plus those 12 and 13 years of age, in two other groups. Nearly 200 boys signed up for last year’s program, with more than 170 competing the night the competition was held. The three winners in each of the your age groups Idst year were as follows: 8 yr. olds — Peter Minch, Ist; Tony Isch, 2nd; Wayne Franz 3rd. 9 yr. olds — Michael Baker, Ist; Gregory Myers, 2nd; John Paul Hammond, 3rd. 10 yd. olds — Bill Schnepf, Ist; Randy Gehrig, 2nd; Ronald Hammond, 3rd. 11 yr. olds — Gregory Cook, Ist; Jerry Uuman, 2nd; Kenneth Friedt, 3rd. Last year, prizes to the above winners were awarded in halftime ceremonies at a Decatur Yellow Jacket football game. Local Prizes Again this year, the list of prizes for boys to win in the local competition is quite attractive. The winners of the eight, nine and ten-year-old groups will each receive National Football League warm-up jackets with-the official colors and emblem of the Chic-

, ago Bean. Second place winners ; will win a place-kicker outfit for improving kicking and passing accuracy, and third prize will be a I regulation-size football autographed by the best punter, passer and kicker on each NFL team. 1 Boys in the 11, 12 and 18 age groups will win handsome gold, silver and bronze trophies for their prizes. Launched In IMI The Punt, Pass & Kick comptition was launched nationally in 1961 by Ford Dealers of America and the National Football League. In the program, each boy competes against other boys in his own age group in the three football skills of punting, passing and kicking from a kicking tee. There is no body contact and no special equipment needed. Points ' are awarded for each foot the ball travels in the air, and points de- , ducted for each foot the ball lands to the left or right of a center line. In 1963, nearly 500,000 boys , throughout the United States registered for the P. P. & K. competition. There are six winners, one in 1 each of the six age groups, as well ! as six second place and six third place winners, in each local competition. Scores of the first place winners of each local competition 7 in each state will be compared v at P. P. & K. headquarters, and six winners representing each g Ford zone will be determined for E further competition in 37 Ford •* districts.

Fort district sales offices will supervise district competitions where 222 champions and 222 run-ner-ups will be determined. From the best scores, the top 12 winners in each of the 14 NFL game areas will be selected for further competition during halftime of NFL games. This competition involves 168 boys, and the top six boys from the eastern NFL division and six from the western NFL division, will be selected as finalists and compete at the NFL championship game.

Another Losing Skein Faces Jackets

Meet New Haven On Friday;

Seek First Win Since ’56

Decatur’s Yellow Jackets face their stiffest test of the season Friday night at Worthman Field, When they entertain a talented New Haven Bulldog eleven in the finale of The Big Three. The Jackets, prior to the opening of the new season, figured to need victories in their first three games for a short at the 1964 Northeastern Indiana Conference title. They nipped Auburn, 7-6, and snapped an 11-year losing streak with a 13-0 victory over Garrett last Friday. Now its the biggest game of The Big Three — Friday night with an 8 o’clock opening kickoff! With just two weeks of action concluded, the Yellow Jackets are one of four teams in the tenteam NEIC without a blemish on their record. Elmhurst, like Decatur, has won both its starts, while Columbia City and New Haven as yet haven’t played a conference game. Friday Action All members of the NEIC are playing conference engagements Friday night. In addition to the New Haven at Decatur game, Elmhurst goes after its third win in a row in a game with Concordia. Kendallville travels to Garrett where both teams will be looking for their first victory and Columbia City opens its conference season by hosting Bluffton.' Angola is at Auburn in the other contest. Another Jinx? The Decatur eleven snapped a supposed jinx with that resounding victory over Garrett last Friday, and New Haven now remains as the only team on the schedule with any type of winning skein over Yellow Jacket teams. While Decatur hadn't beaten , Garrett in 11 years, they have failed to beat a New Haven team in seven years. In fact. New Haven has an even more lopsided margin over Decatur than the Railroaders. The Jackets had tied Garrett twice in those 11 years, but they haven’t even managed that with New Haven since besting the Bulldogs by a 14-7 count back in 1956 at Worthman Fielcf Intbt

past 14 years, Decatur has managed just two wins, in 1950, and 1956! The scoring totals reflect an even sadder story for Decatur. Since 1950, Mew Haven has scored 369 points to 106 for Deca-en-game losing streak started tur, in 14 games. Since the savin 1957, New llaven has outscored Decatur 186-55. Starts in *W New Haven posted a 22-7 victory in 1957, followed by a 19-13 win in 1958, and then came three big margins, 20-0, 39-0 and 40-7, in 1959 through 1961. In 1968, the Bulldogs won by a 20-6 score, and last season they triumphed, 26-12. New Haven, defending chamcumpleteiy different opponent than the Jackets saw in their first two games. While Auburn and Garrett were big — and slow n'--- of the NEIC, will present a — New Haven will field a much Monmouth Downs Adams Central 6-1 Monmouth scored six times on only three hits Tuesday afternoon and defeated Adams Central by a 6-1 score in a high school baseball game played at Monroe. The winners scored once in the first inning and after Adams Central ties the score with a four-th-inning run, they broke loose for three tallies in the fifth. Jerry Morningstar had two of the ’Adams Central hits, a single and a double, and Rex Funk had a single. Hakes had two singles for Monmouth and Graves also had a single. Graves struck out one and walked just two in going the distance for the victory while Funk fanned six and walked eight in hurling the route for Adams Central. The Jets will be back in action this afternoon, hosting Monroeville at the Monroe diamond. Tuesday line score: Monmouth .. 100 030 2—6 3 2 Adams Central Fupk and Hill; Graves and Fuelling.

smaller team, but a team that will possess plenty of speed with lots of crisp blocking and tackling. This year's Bulldog edition is similar to those of the past few years. Head coach Paul Armstrong, in his third season at the helm, lost 14 lettermen from last season, but has seven returning, and those seven are outstanding football players. Jn addition, a number of talented players moved up from a strong reserve team. Bulldogs Back Included in those seven back from 1963 are Bob Rohrbacher, the 200-pound fullback, and backs Gary Lake and Ken Hendricks; ends Neal Carnes and Steve Sauers, tackle Mike Diehl and center Jud Austrup. ,

At the start of the season, Armstrong figured the team’s weakest spot to be at tackle and guard, where Diehl, a tackle, is the only returning letterman. Os course, strong points must include Rohrbacher, Lake — and a winning tradition among New Haven football teams. Armstrong r has also been impressed with his team’s spirit thus far. Rohrbacher scored a pair of TD’s on short runs last Friday as the Bulldogs opened their season by battling a big and rugged Fort Wayne Central eleven to a 13-13 tie. Carnes boosted one extra point. New Haven has 1,500 students in its three-grade high school this year. From that many students, it isn’t hard to find 20 good football players!
