Sagging Jackets Lose sth In Row

By Bob Shraluka Decatur High School basketball fortunes sunk to a new low ebb Saturday night,, as the Yellow Jackets not only dropped their fifth straight decision of the season but scored a meager total of 44 points in the process. Concordia’s Cadets, with just one victory in four outings and missing the graduated Tom Baack, were unimpressive but had more than enough guns to hand the Jackets a 55-44 loss at the local gymnasium Saturday night. The Decaturites are now 0-5 on the season and have dropped eight in a row over the past two seasons, not including tournament play. The hapless Yellow Jackets had one good spurt Saturday night which came late in the third period as they drew within four points of Concordia. In the final eight minutes, however, they scored just five points — and didn’t score from the field until just a minute and 19 seconds remained in the game. In addition, it was the fifth

game in succession which Decatur scored no better than .500 from the free throw line. After an 8 for 21 performance Friday night, the Jackets hit only six of 17 Saturday evening. Lead Changes Dave Smith’s three fielders helped the Jackets hold the lead four times in the opening period befor Tom Wilcoxson scored on a jump shot to tie matters at 12-12 at the quarter's end. Dale Chambers and Sam Blythe traded fielders at the outset of ground two, and when Ron Stelzer tossed in a 20-footer, the Cadets were ahead to stay. Stelzer, a 5-4 sophomore guard, was aparently to small to see and he was left open most of the period and pumped in five of six shots to power Concordia to a 26-21 halftime lead. The Jackets got just nine points in the quarter. Pull Away As the clock passed the fourminute mark in the third stanza, sophomore Dave Reinking and Wilcoxson scored on back-to-back drives, and the Cadets held their biggest margin, 39-29.

With a minute to play in the third canto, the Cadets led 43-33. The gold and purple came to life at that point for the first time. In that final 60 seconds, Dave Smith tossed in a one-hand-er, Bill Blythe scored off a fast break and Jerry Egly pumped in a 15-footer, cutting the Cadet advantage to just four points, 4339, entering the final period, y The home fans who were think?’ ing "maybe now,” were soon disappointed, though. Wilcoxson scored with just seconds elapsed in the fourth period as the Cadets precessed to score nine straight points and open up a 5239 lead before Decatur’s Lon Hawkins broke the string with a free throw at the 4:11 mark. After Hawkins’ charity shot, the Cadets could score only three more points. But the Yellow Jackets could score only four. With 1:19 to play Dave Smith tossed in a shot from the field. Moments later he scored from under, but then was assessed his fifth personal and left the game. Score Half Stelzer and Wilcoxson scored more than half the Concordia points with 15 apiece. Smith, the only Decatur player with more more than seven, topped his team with 14. Excluding Dave Pressler, the Cadets converted 10 of 13 from the charity stripe. Pressler connected on just three of 13 chances and had he hit more than two of 10 in the final quarter, the Cadet margin would have been even greater. Twenty-two personals were whistled on Decatur and 13 on the Cadets. The Jackets will seek that first -victory next Friday night against the Tigers at Bluffton in another NEIC encounter. Decatur is now 0-2 in the conference while Concordia got its second win in three starts. YELLOW JACKETS FG FT TP D. Smith.... 7 0- 2 14 S.

Komets Blast Dayton; Dubchak Scores Pair The Fort Wayne Komets turned in one of their best performances of the season Saturday night in routing Dayton’s Gems by a 7-2 score at Memorial Coliseum. The Fort Wayne skaters ripped in three goals in the first period and added one in the second stanza and three’ more in the third. Merv Dubchak scored a pair of goals for the K’s, while Reg Primeau, Bill Orban, Ted Wright, Norm Waslawski, and Bobby Rivard added singletong. Guy Trottier of the Gems ruined Chuck Adamson’s bid for a shutout with less than eight minutes remaining, and then scored again two minutes later. The Komets had three games on tap this week. Wednesday they play in Toledo and Thursday in Dayton. Saturday night they’ll entertain Port Huron at the CoJiseum.

Coach Gary Giessler's 12-man squad Completely dominated the meet, taking home not only the beautiful team trophy, but nine of the 12 individual tropnies. The entire Decatur team won their way into the afternoon, championship rounds to record a soar- | ing team total of 80 points out I of a possible 96. Central Catholic finished a I distant second with 42 points and 1 two individual champs, while Central placed third with 25 and Concordia fourth with 18. Concordia, however, had one individual champ and none of the | Central grapplers could grab top I honors. Several hundred people attended . tfce morning and/or afternoon session, and were rewarded with some of the most exciting matches ever seen in the four years of wrestling in the local gymnasium. Nine Winners Winning championship honors for Decatur were Tom Eyanson, 1 103 lbs.; Frank Equia, 112; Gary Myers, 120; Daveo Adams, 127; Bob Hawkins, 133; Tim Magley, 145; Dallas Wittgenfeld. 154: Darrell Grote, 180; and Steve Bearers, heavyweight. h Thomas and Snyder of Central Catholic copped the 95 and 138 pound titles, while Concordia’s Moreo took honors in the 165 class. Thomas defeated Fred Zwick of Decatur in a 13-2 decision and Snyder won a 6-0 decirm from Kip Lutes of the locals. Moreo handed Decatur’s Denny Smitley his first lost of the season when the Concordia lad squeaked out a 4-2 Gecision for < 165 honors. Thrills, Surprises There were plenty of thrills and a couple of surprises during the morning and afternoon sessions. The day’s most suspenseful moment same when Decatur’s Equia won his division on a judges’ decision. Equia, who pinned his Central foe in the morning, battled Hayes of C. C. to a 2-2 draw at the end of regulation time. Draws must be finished in tournament meets, so the two continued. gfappiefs ewh seww*- ; two pints in a pair of one-minute overtime sessions, and then the two referees, Al Thomas and John Smith of Muncie, and an- ’ other meet official, awarded the decision to Equia by a vote of 2- 1 - Equia, an inexperienced sopho- - more, was a surprise starter, as - he had defeated previous regular - Art Ybarra in pre-tourney elimr inations during practice sessions. Here is the way the other De- - catur grapplers won their titles: • Eyanson pinned Leon of C. C. in the morning and Finner of
