I Shraluka’s Slants I By Bob Shraluka

News And Notes Don’t make any plans for Wednesday, November Is, As ft looks like that is going to be the date for the annual football banquet. It’s almost assured now that a member of the Chicago Bear coaching staff will be the speaker. The Booster Club tried to get a player, but Decatur is outside the radius of miles that the club allows its players to travel during the sea- • son. The banquets are normally held on Tuesday, but this conflicted with the schedule of the World Champions coaching staff. A lot Os the credit, if a coach does make it for the banquet, has to go to the Booster Club’s "connection” with the Bears, aide Mike Thoele who worked for the team while they trained at Rensselaer’s St. Joe College, while Mike was attending classes there. The banquet should be the biggest and best ever, especially if those Yellow Jackets continue to roll up victories the rest of the way. Speaking of the Yellow Jackets brings to mind the name Blythe. Do you realize there is a Blythe on four different football teams at the present time. Steve is at L U.» Sam and Bill are on the varsity, Tom is a member of the reserve team and Jim plays for the Junior High. And they say that the next one, Bobby, who is 9, may be the best athlete of the bunch! The World Series has been tops on the sports menu right now, with football right behind And yet, basketball is beginning to creep into the scene. The Decatur Commodores and Monmouth have now joined Adams Central in hardwood drills. It takes only one glance to see that Adams Central’s Jets may stay in that sectional orbit this year. Not only do they have Rog Schnepp and Art Ringger, who have added an inch or so each, back, but hotshot guard Tony Ehrsam, plus Steve Smith and Mike Ross. Another to watch is Rex Funk, who starred for the Pleasant Mills varsity two years ago as a sophomore. He reported late last season and played the campaign with the B team, but he won’t be • there this year. Before leaving basketball, we might add that a possible contender for the State title this year just might come right .out of the Northeastern Indiana Conference. Those two Jolly Green Giants up Garrett way, we hear from a good source, have now passed the seven-foot mark. The word is that Chuck Bavis, still only a junior, is nearly 7-2, and senior Jim Heitz is a bit over the seven-foot mark. They’ve been playing a little basketball this summer too! ■ Back to football for a moment, we’d like to “doff our derby” to Harry Schwartz for bringing this city the 4th annual Punt, Pass & Kick competition last week. Its not only a great thing for the boys, especially for recepients of those fine prizes, but a tremendous asset to the community. Thanks Harry! And one other sport that is soon to be creeping into the picture is wrestling. Coach Gary Giessler and his lads will host a four-team tournament during the upcoming season we’ve learned. Three Fort Wayne schools, Central, Central Catholic and Concordia, will be entered in the first affair of this type for the local school. The opening match isn’t far off, as the Decatur grapplers entertain Noblesville on November 24.

St. Louis Going Wild Over Its World Champ Cardinals

vave ne a Determined * Look;'Keane By LEONARD ADAMS United Press International ST. LOUIS (UPI) — Johnny Keane believes in the old adage about a picture and a thousand words. Keane went out to the mound in the sixth inning of Thursday’s final World Series game after Mickey Mantle hit a three run homer off Bob Gibson. “I still though Gibson whs throwing good,” Keane said. ”1 just wanted to tools, at his face. He gave me *a determined look so I knew he was equal to it. He’s got a great heart and a great throwing arm.” Gibson made a believer out of Keane that moment and before he was through he had his second World Series victory, a new series record of 31 strikeouts and a sports car from a magazine as the most valuable player. Thought Os Winning Gibson said, “I never even thought about the strikeout record. Winning was more important. It was more important than the record or anything else.” “Gigson’s a real pro. He’s got great heart,” Keane stated. “I Would have gone to Ray Sadecki in the ninth to pitch to (Roger) Maris, but, otherwise, I never seriously considered taking Gibson out.” All the Cardinals, from President August A. Busch Jr. down, believed winning the pennant was the best thing that could have happened, but after Thursday they had to admit they were wrong. Busch said, “This is a great thrill. I thought winning the pennant was wonderful but this tops even that.” Busch planned to sit down with Keane today to show just how much the world championship means — in cash. He has already offered Keane a contract but the manager wanted to wait until after the season and the series. Now, they’ll talk. Tops Pennant Thrill Team captain, Ken Boyer, who contributed two home runs during the series, said, “winning the pennant was a great thrill, one that I though wouldn’t bem atched but this tops even th at.” . Gibson said he couldn’t imagine anything better than Monday’s 5-2 victory, his first World Series triumph, “but this one’s got me more excited than even that one.” Keane accepted congratulation from Busch, General Manager Bob Howsam, former team executives, Art Routzong and Bing DeVine, and others. He did so calmly. He said his players “deserve the credit. I’d pay to watch them if I had to.”

Haven The Decatur football teams split a pair of contests at New Haven Thursday, the Junior High recording a 28-0 victory and the freshmen suffering a 21-6 defeat. Alan Hutker paced the Junior High to its romp over New Haven at Worthman Field, scoring a pair of touchdowns on long runs. Halfback Hutker got loose on a pair of reverse plays as the local eleven built up a 21-0 halftime lead and coasted to its win. Hutker’s first score covered 75 yards, while his second was a 50-yarder. Kenny Gause also scampered 30 yards for a TD. In the third period, Mike Curtin grabbed a Dave Winteregg ‘ pass and scooted 65 yards to paydirt. Winteregg, in addition to the scoring pass, scored all four Decatur PAT’s on runs. The Junior High concludes its season at New Haven next Tuesday. Frosh Nipped The local frosh trailed New Haven by a 7-0 halftime score at the Bulldog’s new stadium and the winners came back with two TD’s in the second half. New Haven took a 7-0 lead in the opening quarter and boosted their margin to 14-0 early in the fourth stanza. Don Cummings went five yards for Decatur to cut the lead to 14-6 later in the period, but the winners sewed up the victory with a score in the final 12 seconds. The frosh play New Haven again at Worthman Field at 4:30 p.m. next Tuesday. SPORTS BULLETIN NEW YORK (UPI) - The New York Yankees today announced that Yogi Berra will not return as manager next year, but will be retained as a special field consultant under General Manager Ralph Houk.

'Capitalized On Breaks/ States Yogi By ED SAINSBURY UPI Sports Writer ST. LOUIS, Mo. (UPI) — It was the fabled New York Yankees who gave way to World Series pressure. In the key seventh game, they messed up a double play which might have prevented a three run inning for the StLouis Cardinals; they got caught in a double play which killed a potential winning rally and they wound up committing nine errors in seven games. “Every break they got they capitalized on,”. Manager Yogi Berra said of the victorious St. Louis Cardinals. “It seemed that every time we made an error, they scored.” Stottlemyre Hurt Shoulder One play Thursday forced Berra to take out his choice z to pitch the most crucial game of the season, Mel Stottlemyre, and it set up the go-ahead inning for the winners. It came with Ken Boyer on second, Dick Groat on first and none out in the fourth. Tim McCarver grounded to Joe Pepitone, who three to Phil Linz for the forceout at second. But

JCIivUI r I(HI3 VlMVlwv>» Monroe Gym’s Capacity Cut By Fire Marshal

The Adams Central school gymnasium, site of the Adams county sectional tournaments since 1955, felt ttie wrath of the Indiana Fire Marshal Ira Anderson's office today, in that the seating capacity was reduced by 550 seats. Adams Central principal Carl Honaker, contacted this morning, said, however, that plans are now underway to meet the necessary requirement ordered by the State Fire Marshal to bring the gym's seating capacity back to its normal standards. Adams Central was one of 12 Indiana high schools which have received letters from Anderson’s office in the past few days, recommending changes in seating capacity. Included in that group, in addition to the Monroe school, were officials of Butler Fieldhouse, Bedford, Greencastle, Huntingburg, Kokomo, Logansport, Marion, Martinsville, New Castle, Richmond and Zionsville. Cite Change According to the notification recevied by Adams Central school officials, the gymnasium’s seating capacity was recommended reduced in capacity from 2,300 to 1,750. Something must be done, as State Marshal Anderson has said Linz’s relay to first was wide, and Stottlemyre, running for the base, hurt his shoulder diving for the ball. Boyer scored on the play and before the inning ended, the Cards had two more runs. “Groat hit me after I threw,’’ Linz said. "The pitcher is supposed to cover on the play, and he was still running for the bag. I was throwing for the base and I threw it too wide.” Picks Downing Berra’s choice to replace Stottlemyre was lefthander AlDowning, and he defended his selection. “It was the right spot to in Downing,” he said. “HeW r had three days, rest and thejrve got two lefthanders coming up. If he holds up, we're in good shape.” But Downing didn’t. He faced three men, gave up three hits, and the Yankees were in trouble. Berra said the first game injury to his pitching star Whitey Ford and the injury which prevented Tony Kubek from playing hurt his club. "If Ford had been available, I’d have used him,” he said. "Linz played a good series for us, but if Kubek had been able to play, we would have had a better bench.’’

his office could take legal action against any schools that refuse to comply with the recommendations. Will FoUaw When contacted this morning, Honaker said “We’re going to make the necessary adjustments.” Adams Central needs to add six exit units to the already-available facilities, to bring the gymnasium's capacity back to its 2.300 standard, according to Honaker. He explained that each gymnasium is required to have 22 inches of exit space for every 100 persons it seats, and that “we can pick up four more easily.” The school Board’s building committee is planning to meet this weekend to study the fire marshal’s recommendations, and an architect will be called in soon for the necessary changes. Honaker explained that two exit units could be made in the school's shop, or mechanical arts, Pistons And 76ers Open NBA's Season PHILADELPHIA (UPI) — The Detroit Pistons and Philadelphia 76ers. two teams without much of a chance of going anywhere in the National Basketball Association, kickoff the 1964-65 season tonight at Philadelphia. Their game is the only one on tonight’s card, but the other NBA teams will be swinging into action in the next few days.

room, and two more in the vocational agricultural room, without much difficulty. At present, it is believed that the other two exit units will be placed somewhere in the south end of the building, near the gymnasium area. Will Return Once the six exit units are provided, the gymnasium’s seating capacity will be able to return to its normal 2,300. Honaker explained that the state Fire Marshal's office is making its recommendations now in order to provide schools an opportunity to follow the recommendations before the statewide tournament begins late in February. Due To Explosion The state-wide survey is about half-completed, according to Anderson. and he added that it was "partly prompted” by the explosion in the State Fairgrounds Coliseum in Indianapolis last October 31 which killed 74 persons and injured about 400 others. He said his office has been working on Such a survey for a couple of years, and that “we feel it is our duty to call attention to overcrowding and to the building code and to insist that the schools comply with the code." His office has recommended that famed Butler Fieldhouse, site of the state basketball finals each year, reduce seating capacity from 14,943 to 4,981 — the most drastic cut-back suggested unless more exits are provided.
