Winless Comets Next To Test Explosive Jackets

Decatur’s Yellow Jackets with their offensive attack that started the season slowly now rolling in high gear, go after win number six this season at Kendallville Friday night. The Jackets will be looking for their fourth win in succession as Elmhurst Tops NEIC Harriers New Haven had the top individual but Elmhurst had the better balance, and the Trojans copped the 1964 Northeastern Indiana Conference cross country title at Shoaff Park in Fort Wayne Tuesday. The Trojans had five Tunners among the first 12 finishers, to record the low team score of 39 points. Bluffton placed second with 56 points and New Haven, the defending champion was third with a 63 point accumulation. Following New Haven was Concordia, 120 points; Kendallville, 123; Auburn, 179; and Angola tied Decatur, each with 193 points. Garrett and Columbia City the other conference members, do not have cross country teams. Shenfeld Winner New Haven’s Dick Shenfeld took top individual honors in the field of more than 50 runners. Shenfeld tourned the Shoaff course in one of the fastest times ever recorded there, 9:50, to nip Bluffton’s Phil Captain. Ron Clouse, of Angola who the the individual crown as a sophomore last season, finished third, and Kendallville’s Dave Desper was fourth. Elmhurst got its winning point total when Lynn Armstrong, Ronnie Lunz and Ron Blaettner, and Russ Grose, placed sth, 6th, 7th and 9th, respectively, and John Capin came in 12th. Concordia’s Steve Shafer finished eighth, while Bluffton’s Steve Huffman was 10th. Decatur top effort was turned in by Dave Adams, who placed 26th, in the big field.

they come down the home stretch with a shot at one of the finest football records in the history of the school. Entering Friday’s Northeastern Indiana Conference clash, which begins at 7:30 p.m., the Decatur eleven will own a 4-1 conference mark and a 5-1 overall slate. The game will not only conclude a thus-far successful threegame road trip, but will conclude the Yellow Jacket away schedule for this year. Following the Kendallvillp game, the Jackets return home to wrap up their season with Concordia on Wednesday,, October 21, and Angola on Friday, October 30. Comets Winless The Decaturites will be definite favorites in the game at Cometland, as Kendallville has yet to record a victory in six starts. In addition, several players were dropped from the team last week for disciplinary reasons. Bluffton whipped the Comets by a 26-9 score in the season opener for both teams back in early September, and the Comets then lost to Nappanee, 19-12, In their lone non-conference start. Following were a 26-6 loss to Garrett, a 19-2 loss to Concordia, a 12-6 defeat at the hands of Columbia City, and last week’s 42-0 trouncing by New Haven’s Bulldogs. , The Comets have scored just 35 points in six games, while allowing a whopping 144 points. John Smith has two of the Comets’ five touchdowns. Four of their 35 points have come through safetys, against Bluffton and Concordia. Dick Meadows, Dick Houser and Lewis have a TD each. A 33-yard pass from John Bates resulted in one of Smith’s touchdowns. Jacket Totals Decatur, meanwhile, has rolled up 86 points during its current three-game winning skein, and has now scored 106 for the season, an average of nearly 18 a game. The defense has allowed Louisville Lip Has Lafesl Prediction . MIAMI (UPl)—When they let Cassius Clay out of his cage in Boston Nov. 16, the champ without a crown predicts “Sonny Liston will be all mine in nine.” “I’m going to beat Liston as bad as President Johnson is going to beat Barry Goldwater,” said Clay, taking advantage of a crowded press conference Tuesday to do a little political prognosticating. Clay, wearing his silverbuckled heavyweight champion’s belt around tom green trousers and a striped sport shirt, said “Sonny Uston will be mine in one minute and so many seconds of the ninth round.” The young Louisville Lip, who has had a few predictions come true in the past, says he will predict the exact second “the old grizzly bear” will fall when he goes to Boston Oct. 26 to complete training for the bout being billed as a title fight by Boston promoters. •I’m giving him a two-round bonus because he’s going to be in better shape this time,” Clay announced modestly. Clay beat Liston and took the heavyweight title fight in Miami earlier this year on a TKO in, the seventh round.

Max Moves To 2nd:

Light NEIC Slate This Week

The Northeastern Indiana Conference has its lightest week's end schedule of the season this Friday night, with just two interconference battles on tap. ■ In those games, Decatur will travel, to Kendallville, as the Yellow Jackets go for their fifth win of the year in conference Play, while the Comets are still looking for their first victory. Auburn and Columbia City, in a three-way tie for third spot in the NEfC standings with Garrett, battle a# the Eagle field in the only other conference match. Four of the league’s members have non-conference clashes on tap Friday night, while New Haven and Concordia do not see action this week. In non-conference contests, Bluffton travels to Anderson Highland, and Elmhurst meets South Side. Angola hosts

just 56 points, or slightly more than nine points a game. Although favored, the Jackets must be ready for the contest. Only Decatur and Auburn have a shot of winning the NEIC’s 1964 football crown outright, and a loss Friday night would eliminate the Jackets from the race. Mighty Max Elliott, the. NEIC’s second-leading scorer, ’is of course, pacing the Decatur eleven in scoring, mainly due to some solid support from his backfield mates and the work the offensive line has been doing in recent games. Elliott has scored nine touchdowns in six games for a total of 54 points. His longest run from scrimmage was the 70-yarder against Elmhurst Saturday, and he has also scored on passes covering 50 and 48 yards from quarterback Dave Anspaugh. In „ addition to the two scoring tosses, Anspaugh has scored twice himself in die six games, and his toe has accounted for nine conversions after touchdowns giving him a total of 21 tallies. Blythes Have Four The Blythe brothers have scored a pair of touchdowns each. Sam’s longest is a 48-yarder, while Bill’s longest covered 20 yards. Alan “Buggs” Sprunger accounted for one point when he ran for a point-after at Bluffton. Set Physically Barring any mishaps this week in practice, the Yellow Jackets will be set physically for Friday's contest. Anspaugh is bothered only slightly by some torn ligaments in his left ankle suffered at Blufftfon, but a slight injury to his right foot has limited his kicking to PAT’s only. Elliott handled the kicking-off duties last Saturday. Center Terry Smitley is just about fully recovered from facial injuries received in the Bluffton game. Also, Sprunger, who was knocked dizzy on a jarring tackle of Elmhurst’s big fullback Ted Barker, will be ready for action. Sprunger, the 130-pound “mighty mite” who is making three of every four tackles on kickoffs, returned to the game Saturday night after missing only a few plays. Len Thomson Named Komets' New Captain Len Thomson, a seven-year veteran center with the Fort Wayne Komet hockey club, has been appointed the team’s captain for the 1964-65 season by general mana-ger-coach Ken Ullyot. Thomson replaced Eddie Long who was appointed as assistant coach last week. Twice the International Hockey League’s leading, scorer, Thomson trails only Long as the league’s top career scorer, and has four times won or shared the league’s Most Valuable Player award. He has never been lower than fifth in regular season scoring since his rookie season in 1956-57. The Komets will open two-a-day drills next Tuesday at the Coliseum, in preparation for the league opener on Friday, October 30, at Muskegon. The K’s have an exhibition game scheduled for Saturday night, October 24 at the Coliseum, with Itiei* , Shuffleboard Results Here are the standings in the Women’s Friday night K. of C. Shuffleboard League. A. Colchin — A. Schiner, 3 pointe; M. Becker — M. Lose, 3 points; M. Kriegel — P. Lengerich, 2 pointe; V. Baker, — M. Baker, 2 pointe; IL flctmeg m N. Tricker, 1 point; B. Adams — A. Baker, 1 point

Howe Military and Garrett entertains Hicksville. Last Week In last week’s games, New Haven moved to within one win of the conference title for 1964 with a 42-0 romp over Kendallville. Decatur, the only team with the exception of Auburn that has a chance at winning the title outright, solidified its second place in the standings with a 2013 win over Elmhurst. Bluffton concluded its conference play at three wins and three ties with a 34-7 romp over Angola, as the Hornets broke into the scoring column for the first time in six games.

PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor TOKYO (UPl)—Slender Billy Mills of Coffeyville, Kans., a 26-year-old Marine lieutenant with Sioux Indian ancestors, scored a shocking upset in the Olympic 10,000 meter run today and Americans scored a 1-2-3 sweep in men's springboard diving tonight. Ken Sitzberger of River Forest, 111., came from behind on the optional dives to give the United States its fourth gold medal of the games with Frank Gorman of Queens Village, N.Y., second and Larry An- , dreason of Los Alamitos, Calif., third. Mills, a 5-feet-11, 155 pounder . who never 'won a big race before in his life, was the first .. American in history ever to win a gold medal at the mankilling distance of slightly more than six miles. The dead-game Kansan brief- , ly surrendered his lead at the start of the final lap but burst >»through with a blazing finishing kick and won by three —yards in the Olympic record time of 28 minutes, 24.4 seconds for America’s third gold medal of the games. Three-Man Struggle Mohamed Gamoudi of Tunisia finished second and world record ‘holder Ron Clarke of Australia wound up third as a chilled crowd of 72,000 roared at the dramatic three-man struggle. Mamo Wolde of Ethiopia, trailing in fourth, and all four front-runners bettered the Olympic record of 28:32.2 set in 1960 by Russia’S Peter Bolotkinov. Bolotkinov finished back in the pack along with the other U.S. entrants — 18-year-old Gerry Lindgren of Spokane, Wash., and Ron Larrieu of Los Angeles. Lindgren, a popular favorite, was hampered t>y an ankle injury. Mills gave the U.S. its only track medal in the three final events on this gray, rainy day but Yank performances in trial track heats and prospects in swimming tonight indicated a major medal haul was in the offing. Other U.S. Victories In addition, the U.S. scored in basketball, yachting and the modern pentathlon and won a bronze medal in free-style wrestling when middleweight Dan Brand of Oakland, Calif., was declared a winner. Brand lost a disputed decision to defending champ Hasan Gungor of Turkey and tied for third with Iran’s MansoOr Mendizade. But Brand then weighed in at half a pound lighter than Mendizade and was given the bronze medal. Patriot Players Are Injured In Wreck CHELSEA, Mass.
