ilarkson Progress-Argus VOL. 95 —NO. 42 Jackson Downs Monticello For Second Victory One can’t blame the Jackson High Red Devils for still being on Cloud Nine after Friday night. . h-y're still on Mount Olympus (lining on nectar with the gods. Lady Luck, one of the more fj L K ie goddesses, smiled on the Devils the past two Friday nights and has brought them sweet vic tories over Henry County by the baseball score of 6-4 October 4th and a clear-cut 13-7 decision over Monticello here Friday night. These were heady victories over ancient rivals, especially for a team that had dropped four straight because the gods of chance frowned on the Devils’ en deavors. They should not be cen sured too greatly if their feet do not touch ground before the Gor don kickoff Friday night in Barnesville. Jackson, more potent than a spiked drink at a church social and causing no less consterna tion, ripped the favored Hurri canes from pillar to post and long before the game’s end was in complete charge. It was a great effort by a gutty band of Devils who took the lead, saw it re linquished before the half by one point, stormed back in the third quarter to tally the winning touchdown and then defensively played Monticello off their feet the remainder of the game. It was a terrific team effort, one that brought smiles to Head Coach Loy Hutcheson and As sistants Wilson Lush and Hyrum Pierce. Lee Fambro, ace running back, pass snatcher and defender, scored both Devil touchdowns but he had able assistance from eager beaver, head hunting teammates. Fambro, late in the first period, took a punt near midfield, raced toward the near sideline, cut back against the flow, and zoomed to the 8 yard line where a desperate tackle felled him. He moved it to the two and on the next play bolted across for the score. Tommy Turner’s kick was under the goal as bedlam reigned in the Jackson stands. The lead stood up until less than two minutes of the half when the Hurricane connected on a fourth down pass from the 26 with quarterback Buster Benton finding Bill Ezell unescorted in the end zone. The extra point gave Monticello the lead, but the fireworks were far from over. Jackson took the kickoff, stormed down the field, missing a score by virtue of a great tackle on Fambro. With the ball about midfield, Tim Hardy hit Fambro on a screen pass in the open with at least three blockers ahead to convoy him to the prom ised land, but Fambro learned what a lot of footballers have learned before him and others will learn later, to wit, that the football needs catching before you begin running. On the next play, Hardy, a clever operator from his QB post, called the same play, with Fambro legging the ball to about the Monticello 15. With the seconds in the half peril, ously close to ticking into obliv ion, Turner tried a field goal that was blocked. The Red Devils returned after intermission and were quick to assert their superiority. About niid-way the third quarter Tom my Glidewell fielded a punt about his 48 yard line and behind good blocking and by dent of clever running stormed to inside the one yard line. A sneak moved the ball several inches away. A Hardy keeper lost three and on fourth and goal from the four Fambro lammed across with a great sec ond effort. Turner was true on his conversion that wrote the fin al 13-7 score. I DAYLIGHT Ravings Mrs. Webb Was Winner Of Flower Show Mrs. L.
