Stockbridge
Stem Foe
Friday Night
The Jackson High Red Devils
lay their undefeated skein of
three games on the line Friday
night on The Hill against a strong
Stockbridge team that is also un
defeated. Granted a favorable
nod from the weatherman, the
largest crowd of the season is ex
pected to be on hand to watch
Jackson achieve its fourth vic-
tory.
Head Coach Loy Hutcheson is
expecting a tough game from the
Tigers and in a recent critique
said of them “we know that
Stockbridge changed head coach
es but know very little about
their team personnel except they
lost several good linemen and a
quarterback. They have two out
standing runners in Johnny Dab
ney and Charlie Brock. These
boys are so fast they can break
up a game at any time from any
position on the field. Our 14-13
loss last year will not be forgot
ten as our boys will seek to gain
revenge this year. It is a non
region game but we will be doing
our best to record our fourth
win.”
Jackson emerged from its bruis
ing game against West Point Fri
day night with only one major
injury, but one that could be ex
tremely costly if quarterback Bill
Nelson is unable to play Friday
night. Bill suffered a severely
strained muscle in his back when
he was tackled from the rear by
two Pointers and has been in
much pain since. He has been
withheld from rough work this
week with Coach Hutcheson keep
ing his fingers crossed that he
will be able to play Friday. If he
is unable to answer the whistle
A1 Gilbert will fill in at the QB
post with Coach Hutcheson ex
pressing confidence that he will
do a good job.
The Jackson High Band, under
the direction of Miss Nancy Long,
will make their third appearance
of the season. Kick-off is at 8
p. m. on The Hill.

DONALD HOLLAND
Donald Holland, 5’10”
185 lb. Senior tackle, is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis
Holland of Rt. 3, Jackson,
Ga. Don came to the Red
Devils after his sophomore
year from Warner Robins
High School. He played
in all 10 games last year
and lettered at defensive
tackle.
An auto accident in Feb
ruary clouded Don's foot
ball future. With a serious
back injury to overcome,
his status was questionable
at the beginning of the
season. However, to date
he has borne up under the
rigors of his sport and has
played well in every game
for the Devils so far as a
defensive guard. Don does
an outstanding job of get
ting penetration into the
opponents backfield.

DAI.E ROSSER
Dale Rosser, 150 lb. Sen
ior wingback and defensive
halfback, is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Eulee
Rosser of Jackson.
Dale is one of the best
blockers on the Red Devil
squad. At the wingback po
sition it is vital that good
blocks be thrown so that
sweeps can develop for big
gains. Dale showed his abil
ity last week by blocking
the big ends of West Point.
Dale is well-respected as a
pass receiver as he has
caught the ball many times
this year.
Although he is not ex
ceptionally fast he runs
with driving power. Dale
has worked hard in the
off season with weights
to make himself as strong
as possible. Dale's desire
has made him one of the
outstanding at h letes at
Jackson High where he is
also a good academic stu
dent.
