I Shraluka ’s Slants By Bob Shraluka In(niger) Like Flinn When the football! season concludes, Peru coach Bob Larson may send a card of thanks to Berne Mayor Richard Lehman, asking him to express Peru’s thanks to the city of Berne. Larson started the season with several good prospects and then a bonus came along from Beartown in the form of a lad named Rick Inniger. Rick has played two sterling games back-to-back now and the Peru Tigers are unbeaten, with four wins and a tie in five games. Peru, Oak Hill, North Miami and Maconaquah . high schools have a “Player of the Week” named by their coaches each week, and these boys are featured in the Peru Tribune. Inniger had played just four games for Peru, an dalready received such an honor. Now a senior, Inniger won a starting spot at corner back with the defensive unit, despite the fact that the position had four lettermen returning from last season. Coach Larson said after the game that Inniger was his outstanding player in the September 25 victory over Twin Lakes, < We got our hands on a Peru paper, and here was what sports editor Kent Dove had to say: “Inniger started slowly this season, but has come along quickly and is now displaying the form the Peru coaches were hoping for. The adjustment from his old pattern of football to the Larson system was one which took place gradually, but Inniger has learned well. He hits with authority, having eight tackles and three follow ups last Friday.” ' _ Os course, everyone remembers Erv Inniger,. as good a basketball player as Adams County ever / produced. Erv’s at Indiana U. now and has a good shot at a starting guard position, though just a sophomore. The Inniger family moved to Peru from Berne this summer when Erv Sr. took a job there. One of the nicest families we know is the Inniger clan, and between Rick and Erv, the name is getting to be quite well-known throughout the state! •’* * * If there is one thing that rubs this writes wrong, its rules makers who have to change rules just for the sake of doing something. No one ever knows from one year to the next what the college football substitution rule is, and about .the time you or)#, jt has been changed. The 1904 version peHnifl unlimited substitution when the clock is stopped, and allows only two men to enter the game when the clock is running. & It sounds simple, but now that the coaches have got to test it, they have the rulesmakers worrying. Most coaches are doing this: when fourth down comes up with the clock running and the offensive team on the field, the quarterback uses too much time in the huddle and gets a five-yard penalty. — and the clock stopped — allowing the defensive* specialists to come out for the punting situation-. This delays the game and has got the ruleboys worrying about fan reaction. Two and a half , minutes were wasted in a recent game when the 4-. ball was changing hands. ' We never could see why they just don’t allow unlimited substitution. This lets a team have its 11 best defensive players, or 11 best offensive players; on the field when they are needed, which makes for a more skillful game. Who wants to see a good passing quarterback get run over trying to make a tackle.

8 p.m. Saturday Night Affair:
Jackets Face Trojans And NEIC'S Top Scorer At South Side Field
The Decatur Yellow Jackets, with a 66-point performance during the past two games tucked under their belts, resume their chase of NEIC-leading New Haven Saturday night. The Jackets, who blitzed Portland and Bluffton by scores of 32-6 and 34-6 respectively in their past two outings, will find the road a little rougher this week as they seek their fifth win of the campaign over a rejuvenated Elmhurst Trojan eleven. ... The contest, the lone Saturday night on the Decatur schedule and first in many years, will be played at South Side high school’s stadium in the souther* portion of Fort Wayne. The 8 o’clock initial kickoff will mark the first time in history that these two teams have tangled on a football field. The Trojans were added to the Decatur schedule last winter when the Columbia City game was dropped. Much Improved Decatur will probably t .run into Elmhurst’s best football team since the school initiated the sport several years ago. The Trojans will be out to snap a three-game winless streak Saturday night, while Decatur goes for its fifth victory in six starts and fourth conference triumph.

time, Schwartz said. Schwartz and the co-sponsoring Decatur High School Booster Club will assist competition director Bob Worthman in conducting the competition tomorrow night. Boys winning the competition in the first three age groups, 8, 9, and 10, will receive warm- ; up jackets similar to those used by National Football League teams. Each runner-up in those three age groups will win a place-kick-er outfit, while third place finishers will be awarded official footballs autographed by the best NFL punters, passers and kickers. Receive Trophies Boys winning the three oldest groups competition will win gold silver and bronze trophies, -for first through third places. . A total of 18 prizes will be awarded. Scores of the Decaturs [winners will be compared with other ' winners to determine the six best St scores in each of 362 Ford zones.
Elmhurst numbers eight returning lettermen from last year's team that failed to win a game in eight starts. Included in this group is one of the finest backs in this area, big Ted Barker, currently the leading scorer in the NEIC. Other returning lettermen include end Ron Harris, guards John Neimeyer and Steve Porter and backs Barker, Denny Graham, Gale Hetrick, Denny Quance, and Dave Veralin. Barker Tops Barker is not only tops in NEIC scoring,'-but ranks as the top scorer ” among Fort Wayne players. He has scored seven touchdowns and ran for three extra points in NEIC play, for a total for 45, and has added another touchdown in a non-epn-ference game. The Trojans started the year in good fashion, whipping Garrett, 19-14, and Angola, 13-13, before battling Concordia to a tie. In their, last two outings, the Jio-., jans have been thumped by*Co r ' i lumbia City, 38-20, and by Bishop Luers, 20-6. They currently rest in fifth place in the conference, with two wins, a loss and a tie. * The Trojans have been averag- — ing nearly 16 points a game, with
Next stop for these zones winners will be competitions in each of the 37 Ford districts where 222 D i s t r i s t champs will receive trbphies. , From the 222 champions, 168 boys with the best scores will be selected as Area winners. The 163 area winners, top 12 in each of the 14 NFL game areas, will attend an NFL game (with their parents) to compete for the 12 national finalists honors. The finalists will then gtt to go with their parents on a “Tour of Champions” to Washington, D. C., and will attend the NFL championship game, at which they will compete for the national P. P. & K. championships. In Own Groups Decatur boys will compete only against others in their age groups in punting, passing and placekicking skills Thursday night. No special equipment is needed and there will be no body contact in the competition. Points will be awarded for each
77 points in their five contests. Although figured to be strong defensively, this has apparently been a weak point, as they have allowed 91 points in five games, slightly better than 18 tallies per contest. Jacket Injuries The Yellow Jackets suffered their first injuries of any consequence in the Bluffton game, when Dave Anspaugh sprained an ankle and Terry Smitley received a good whack in the face from a face mask. Anspaugh was injured when running for a long gain late in the third period, and then was hit again on the following play. The injury doesn’t seem too severe, and looks to be improving each day. The extra day this week (due to the Saturday night contest) should help him good recovery. The sprain was to the left ankle, which means that in all nrobabil- ' ity, the clever quarterback will . -be able to continue his sterling • kicking duties . Smitley, the 230-pound center and interior defensive lineman, received a good jolt while tackling Bluffton’s fullback in the first half, as a face mask struck him in the face. He too, should be ready to go by Saturday.
