A Retraction
In the Progress-Argus of Oc
tober 16, 1969, a story concerning
the death of Col. Henry Merritt
Fletcher Jr. was printed under
the single column head of “Col.
Fletcher Died of Knife Wound.’’
This statement was not true in its
entirety according to the Medical
Examiner’s Certificate which has
been furnished to the Progress-
Argus by Mrs. Rebecca C. Fletch
er’s attorneys.
The immediate cause of death
as shown on the Medical Examin
er’s Certificate was “Broncho
pneumonia and pneumothorax
due to fractured ribs” suffered ;
when Col. Fletcher fell off bi
cycle on September 14, 1969 that
fractured ribs and left clavicle.
The same diagnosis of cause of
death was listed as “broncho
pneumonia and pneumothorax;
fractured ribs (as result of fall
from bicycle)” on the Report of
Casualty, Department of the Air
Force.
The stab wounds in Col. Fletch
er’s abdomen were listed on the
Medical Examiner’s Certificate as
“Other Significant Conditions
Contributing to Death But Not
Related To The Terminal Disease
Condition Given in Part I (A).”
The Progress-Argus gladly
makes the retraction as to the
cause of death of Col. Fletcher.

With the exception of TWO TIE GAMES which don’t
count either way, my first 100% effort of the season was
REACHED last week in my REGULAR PICKS and My Likely
Losers column was not far behind with a 92% mark ... I
suppose you could say that GENIUS will PREVAIL, but at
this stage of the gridiron season it’s relatively EASY to PRE
DICT the outcome of college football, since each team has
ESTABLISHED its own PATTERN, and you only have to
watch out for the ones who don’t FOLLOW the SCRIPT . . .
Of course, we are getting into the TRADITIONAL BATTLE
era and this also must be taken into consideration since past
performances don’t mean too much when the ADRENALIN
starts PUMPING at game time . ■. . Come to think of it, I’m
right BACK where I STARTED in SEPTEMBER, when I
didn’t have too much to go on, so I’d better get the OLD
SMART PILL MACHINE warmed up to help me with this
week’s losers . . .
IOWA STATE vs MISSOURI
JOHNNY MAJORS turns his CYCLONES on full blast
this week in an effort to BLOW the show-me TIGERS OFF
the CHAMPIONSHIP expressway which leads to the BIG

the FELINE CIA and is well AWARE of the IOWA AMBUSH,
and will have his CATS ready to TURN the TWISTERS
around and make ANTI-CYCLONES out of them, and the
BLOW BACK should LIFT the TIGERS right into TITLE
country while the WIND CIRCLERS BLOW themselves out

BOYS have made great strides since their early DEFEAT by
the INDIANA ALCOHOLICS, and should have no trouble
STRIPPING the BEES of all their HONEY and PLUGGING
up the ENTRANCE to their HIVE with pigskin PARTICLES
. . . The Tech ALUMNI will be given LAST RITES by the

The BUCKEYE EXPRESS keeps on ROLLING down BIG

OUS INTERSECTION which is plainly MARKED with GOLD
and BLACK blinkers . . . JACK MOLLENKOPF will be the
SIGNAL MAN on duty, and will do all he can to send the
COLUMBUS NUTS off on a DETOUR, down a DEAD END
street, but WOODY HAYES drives a 1969 BULL DOZER, and
if he RUNS OUT of ROAD, he’ll just START GRADING a

noon, and a few SMALL CRAFT will be CAPSIZED before
the GALE CALMS down . . . The BIG BLOW will move IN
LAND and DIMINISH in FORCE by the time it reaches down

SHUG JORDAN brings his BIG CATS into the SAN

about the K-9 offense . . . The DOGS are LICKING their
WOUNDS from the past two weeks and may be too busy
USING their TONGUE to do anything with their TEETH,
but I wouldn’t bank on the RED CLAY HOUNDS ROLLING
OVER and PLAYING DEAD ... As always this should be
one of the dog-gondest CAT and DOG fights of the season,
and a lot of FELINE HAIR will be MINGLED in the SOD
before the DOGS get their FLANKS CLAWED ... The VET
CLINIC will be OVERLOADED with patients but the TIGERS

DEN, and this shouldn’t happen to a DOG, even from MISSIS
SIPPI . . . The CATS won’t have to get TOO HIGH for this
contest since the. K-9’s TRAVEL UNDERGROUND, but TRA
