Jackets Seek 'Victory Lane' Again

Host Portland Friday In Lone Non-NEIC Game Os Year

The Decatur Yellow Jackets, after suffering their first defeat of the season last week, attempt to get back into the win column Friday night when they hpst the Portland Panthers at Worthman Field. It will be the only nonNEIC game of the seson for Decatur. The Panthers may be just what the doctor ordered for a surprisingly impotent Decatur offensive attack that has scored just 20 points in the first three games of the season. Os course, it could be just the other way around. Portland hasn’t beaten Decatur in the past three seasons, losing twice and tying once, and will be "up” for the Friday night affair. A lot will depend on what effect last Friday's 25-0 defeat at the hands of New Haven will have on the Decatur eleven. Haunt* Portland One thing Decatur will have over the Panthers ia the apparent Elliott Jinx. Portland hasn't beat-

en Decatur since senior halfback Max Elliott entered high school, as the speedy back can seemingly do no wrong against Portland teams. In his freshman season, Elliott scored both touchdowns on runs of 63 and 45 yards, in a 13-13 tie. He neted 165 yards rushing in 13 carries that night. Two years ago, Elliott rushed for 77 yards, gained 28 yarcta on pass receiving, another 25 with an intercepted pass, and scored twice, as Decatur posted a 26-14 triumph. His two TD's that night were on an 11-yard pass from Dave Anspaugh and on a 65-yard punt return. Last season, the Jackets romped to a 27-6 victory as Elliott rushed for 217 yards in 14 carries and scored on runs of four and 49 yard), despite being used only sparingly in the second half. Hold Again? Whether this "hex” will continue Is not known. It has seemed thus far, however, that the Yellow Jacket offense has suffered from relying too heavily on Elliott. Afl was expected, each of the first three opponents have been "keying" on Elliott, and able to hold him to some degree. He has scored two of the three Decatur TD’s in the first three contests. A good bet to watch for Friday night will be more of the offensive load put on the Yellow Jackets backs. Bryan Leader The Panthers will be led by their 134-pound scatback Junior Bryan, who has scored five touchdowns in three games this year. Bryan scored on runs of 45 and one yard as the Panthers tipped Roycrton, 19-14, in their season opener, and came back to score three in a 27-7 win over Berne. Against the Bears, he scored on a 30yard gallop, returned a kickoff 65 yards to pay-

Young Jackets Thump Berne Decatur high school's reserve football team scored a pair of second - half TD’s and romped to a 20-7 victory over the Berne dirt and brought back a punt some 80 yards for another acore. Bryan was shutout last Friday as the Panthers were beaten for the first time. 136, by Hagerstown. Portland unleashed a strong passing attack, however, in that defeat. Quarterback Tod Glentzer threw 14 times and hit on nine of th«tm, for 92 yards gained through the air. His chief target was Bryan, who picked up 70 yards on three receptions. Larry Minch, a 170-pound end. snared three also, for 18 yards, while fullback-Gary Stoner gained 30 total yards with two catches. Stoner also three twice for a total of 56 yards. A panther passing attack may hurt the Yellow Jackets. TTie Decatur defensive eleven was weak in pass defending last season, and has seem only 18 passes thrown against them thus far in three games, six of which were completed. Panthers Weak The Panthers themselves, however. have been somewhat weak in handling a passing attack in their first three contests. The two clubs will be about even in the size- department, at least in the lines. Portland's probable offensive starters in the line will average 173 pounds each, with 222-pound tackle Bob Whitacre the biggest. The Panther backfield will weigh about 142 pounds a man.

reserves at Worthman Field last night. Sophomore Dallas Whittgenfeld was a standout on defense as the Decatur eleven recorded its second victory in a row after a season opening defeat. The next action for the reserve* te slated for Saturday auemoon, Oct. a, with the reserve team from the new Snyder high,school In Fort Wayne. V Whittgenfeld blocked a pair of Berne punts and intercepted a pass in leading his team to victory last night. He returned the interception for a touchdown, but the play was called back due to a penalty on Decatur. TD Pass Quarterback Bill Brown got the Decaturites into the lead in the second quarter when he tossed a 25 yard scoring strike to Pete Ortiz. Dean Wass ran over the extra point. In the third period, Steve Magsamen bolted through the left side of the line and went six yards for Decatur’s second TD. Berne scored its lone six-pointer and added the PAT in'the third period, but Rick Hullinger and Gary Busse combined forces in the final period to get that score back. Hullinger blitzed the Berne passer in the last quarter, hit him as he was throwing, and Busse picked off the wobbly pass and returned it 40 yards for a score. Wass ran for the pointafter again. Decatur's freshman team travels to Berne for a game with the Bear freshman Thursday afternoon, starting at 4:30 p.m. Scoring summary: Berne 0 0 7 o—7 Decatur — 0 7 6 7—20 Decatur scoring: Ortiz, 25 yd. pass from Brown.

Told You So,’ Yogi Tells All Sisler Mav Have Same Story r *

By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Yftgi Berra can tell the world, "I told you so.” "Don’t worry, we’ll make our move and it’ll be a big one," the resident genius of the New York Yankee dugout told the experts a month ago when the defending American League champions were floundering. Only a few believed him. The Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox were running 1-2 and Yogi seemed to be whistling in

the dark while the Yankee Empire was tumblin’ down. But now, suddenly, it looks like an old- fashioned Yankee cake walk. Wi h seven straight victories and nine wins in their last 10 games the Yankees have opened up a 2'/i-game lead over, the Orioles and a 3*4iUPDgame spread over the White Sox. What’s more important is the fact that they hold a four-game advantage over the Orioles and a five-game advantage over the

White Sox in the vital “lost column" of the standings. Push Challengers Back The Yankees drove a couple of more nails into the coffins of the Orioles and White Sox Tuesday night when they swept a doublehead from the Cleve- ' land Indians 5-3 and 8-1. The Orioles had been beaten by the Detroit Tigers, 2-1, in an afternoon game and the White Sox were defeated by, the Los Angeles Angels 1-0 in a night game. • Mel Stotlemyre, with ninthinning relief aid from Pedro Ramos, scored his eighth victory since joining the club in mid-August in the opener and Whitey Ford went seven innings to win his l«th game in the nightcap. Roger Maris hit his 24th homer and three singles and Joe Pepitone also homered for the Yankees in the first game while Mickey Mantle and Phil Linz connected in the second game. Al Kaline’s two- run firstinning homer provided the Tigers with all the runs they were to get or need against 15game winner Milt Pappas, who had won 10 of his previous 11 decisions for the Orioles. Ed Rakew, taking over from Hank Aguirre in the first inning, pitched 7 2-3 innings of shutout ♦ relief and then got help himself from Julio "Navarro in the ninth. Fred Newman pitched a fivehirer for the Angels, who clipped rookie Bruce Howard of the White Sox for the only run of |he game in the third inning when Jim Fregosi doubled and scored on Willie Smith’s single. The victory was Newman’s 13th of the season. Other AL Action 9 The Boston Red Sox blanked the Washing on Senators 3-0 and the Kansas City Athletics outslugged the Minnesota Twins 10-9 in other AL action. National League Fourteen years after his histone homer gave the Philadelphia Phillies a pennant. Dick Sisler is trying his best to take one away from them. ■ It was back on Oct. 1, 1950 that Sisler hit a three-run 10thinning homer to give the Phillies a 4-1 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers and clinch their first National League flag since 1915. Now Sisler is manager of the Cincinnati Reds — subbing for ailing pilot Fred Hutchinson, at that — and refusing to admit that the Phillies are “in" despite the heavy odds against the Reds. He has the Reds driving with six victories in their last seven games and the pressure is plainly telling because the Phillies have lost four of
