Second Team Defeats Visiting Pierceton Cubs A close game most of the way found the Yellowjackets pulling out of a tight spot in the final quarter of play to defeat the Pierceton Cubs 38 to 30 Friday night at the local gym.

Shortly after Harry Alfrey sank two free throws, making the score 36 to 30, thus giving hosts a safe marginal lead.

the first home game Friday night. Only good comments could be heard for the Syracuse Band, directed by James Lentz, as they finished their performance Friday night before game time. Hope to see many more such exhibitions. Drum majorette, Jill Largen. and twirlers, Mary Holloway. Sharon Nordman, Patty Hummel and Jackie Jones, sure looked neat in their new uniforms and big white hats. Jill wears gold, twirlers wear blue. Noticed the beautiful gold snare drums and the bigger matching bass drum for the band. Really adds class! . Quite a crowd of Pierceton Cribs-were present to see their team “Keep that Horse Shoe!” But a cry.was heard from the Jackets’ section, to the contrary, bringing down the roof with “Get that Horse Shoe!” Do you dance? A lot of kids (oldsters too) had a ball doing such at the sock hop held after the game in the old gym. Dick Buscher was master of ceremonies. Pierceton was extended an invitation to attend the big doings. Happy to see so many accepted. Other local communities were well represented too. It seems there were Nappanee, Atwood, Millersburg, Webster, as well as Warsaw, fans present. Host Syracusans had many fans at the sock hop also. With such a crowd attending, noticed how well behaved and well mannered they were. Juniors will handle concessions this year during ballgames at home. A swell selling technique was used at Friday nights’ game for juniors had only candy bars and pop left. Susan Brown and Betty Coy are co-managera of the busy procedure. ■ Thank you, Betty Coy, for your assistance with this column. Miss Coy, a junior this year, is to take over the write ups for this column soon. Syracusans will again be hosts tomorrow night to the Concord Minutemen. Good luck Yellowjackets. Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Oehligschlager, now living in LaSalle, Illinois, were here for the week end at their Syracuse Lake home. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Slusser and Mr. and Mrs. Glen Diller and family spent the week end in LaGrange, Illinois, visiting relatives.
