Jackson Defends
Track Title In
Griffin April 17
When the Fourth District Class
B schools hold their annual track and
field meet in Griffin on Friday,
April 17, Jackson High’s thin-clads,
District champs for the past two
years, will be ready to make an all
out defense of their title.
Coach Joe Bell has been working
the past few weeks with 20 boys on
'whose shoulders the title defense
will rest. Coach Bell plans to enter
two men in 12 events and two teams
in the relay race.
Numbered among the Jackson
stars who figure to raise the Red
Devil point total are Jackie Cook,
two-year winner in the mile run, and
Donald Leverett, who tied for the
District high jump title last year and
won second in the state meet in Ma
con.
Harold Smith tied for second in
the high jump last year and should
place this time. Bud Davis figures to
be a threat in the dashes, as does
Melvin McCoy in the 880-run.
A victory-mad Jonesboro squad,
thwarted last year in their desperate
bid for the District crown, will pro
vide the Red Devils with the stiffest
kind of competition. Ed Blalock is a
dashman with burning speed. His
brother, Gaffney, is the District low
hurdle champ. Gordon Cottingham is
a 4:47 miler, although Jackie Cook
took him in the finals last year.
Hand is the District 440 and discus
champion.

following boys in these events:
> 100 yard dash —Bud Davis and
Bubber Cook.

101 OAK STREET, JACKSON, GA.
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
contest to that state April 2-4.
Drought conditions in Alabama
were more severe than In Georgia
and many pasture plants were totally
killed by the heat, and’dry weather,
Mr. Campbell found out. Land for
merly used for pastures will be seed
ed in cotton this year, or that is the
present outlook Mr. Campbell said.
The local group consisting of Mr.
Campbell, Oscar Weaver Jr., Sam
Standard and Lawrence Morgan
spent three days studying pasture
and livestock in Alabama. The itiner
ary included a visit to steel plants in
Birmingham and a stop at Belle Mina
experiment station, visits to Cullman,
Decatur and other places.
The trip came as a reward to win
ners in the pasture contest.
