r-RED WARING
FRED WARING’S NEW SHOW— Fred Waring will bring
his Pennsylvanians to the Macon Coliseum on Monday, Feb
ruary 2nd, and will introduce his new 1969-70 production with
a familiar melody, “Sleep,” which has been a trademark of
his band for more than 40 years. When the Pennsylvanians
perform for live audiences, Waring has been known to change
the program during the performance in the interest of spon
taneity. Every concert, Waring maintains, should reflect in
some measure the unique relationship of the performers to
that particular audience .

Pike County
Victimizes
Red Devils
By Patrice Marchman
Sports Editor, Devils Diary
The Jackson Red Devils were
defeated by Pike County by a
score of 79-53.
Our boys played a hard game
but the Pike County boys over
whelmed them. Victor Davis and
Nat Thurman both scored 13
points, Jimmy Head 10, Bill Nel
son 6, Alton Jester and Don Cook
netted 4 each and Fred Head
scored 3.
The Pike County boys were
quick goal shooters and rebound
ers. The Devils were only four
points behind the first quarter
but during the next three quar
ters were not able to keep up.
The Jackson Devilettes were
sadly defeated by Pike County
January 17th by the score of 45-
33.
Pike County heights ranged
from 5’11” to G’l” thus enabling
them to rebound and shoot more
than the Devilettes. Denise Da
vis was high scorer with 20
points, Carole Lawrence 9, and
Inice Dennard scored 4.
During the first half the de
fense was unable to stop the
Pike County girls from scoring
but the defense improved during
the second half. Defense was
played by Andrea Holston, Doris
Green and Patrice Marchman.
