>' . Red Devils Opened Season Friday With A 6-6 Tie By Frank Hearn Jackson and Jones County waltzed to a break even mandate Friday down in Gray, Ga. Six-six tie will go in the archives. It ain’t that bad. In football games the results can only be one of three. Least a tie is second place. The old cliche about “a tie’s like kissin your sister” fits here. Pleased we ain’t got beat, but frustrated cause all that was for no clear decision. Anyway the fine showing of local fans who motored down to support the 77 edition did not get wet although they missed a good chance at the start of half two. Football games in August usually mean “exhibitions” anyway....“Pre” season if you wi11....n0t supposed to count....let the fans know what to expect when the real shootin starts....get all worked up in a lather waiting on opening night. I guess this game was of that variety. Did not mean that much, but we got a good look at some combinations of “rookies” and lettermen and now we can anxiously await two weeks hence for the home opener when the weather gets cooler as football is supposed to be played. Greyhounds are supposed o be sleek and slim and fast starting racing dogs. Jones County’s variety must have been named for a particular mode of conveyance we get stuck behind moving up the twisted highways. They were big, slow, and not all that cute in their “passion purple” and “tarnished brass” uniforms. One thing is sure their line facing the local red, white and blues were no skinny puppies. The folks down in Gray must put yeast in the Gainesburgers WALTON INSULATION CO. “Let Us Save You Money On Heating” Aicovy Road, Jersey, Ga.

Outweighed 30 pounds per man, Jackson’s offensive line had to resort to finesse and quick to control the line of scrimmage. It appeared initially Jack son would have a cakewalk when Reggie Henderson scampered right between good blocking to scoot in for the first TD of 77 from 28 yards out. The try for the extra point was not very successful so we had a 6-0 lead with 6:46 left in the first quarter. As would be expected for the first game of the season, penalties were excessive and fumbles were abundant. The return of the kickoff was ridiculous. A good run to their 42, Nedd of Jones County dropped the pig and one of his buddies soccer kicked it out on Jackson’s 20. This was a local record for longest fumble in the night air. Avery promising Devil defense (the 4-4 with three in the rear) held the massive Greyhounds at bay, forcing a field goal to miss. The other six points came from them. With 1:27 left in the half, the Gray’s scored six with the aid of a “late hit” infraction by a nameless Devil. This moved it from the 42 to the 27. On a fourth down and goal, a quick pass for 7 put the Greyhounds on the board. Their kick for one extra point was erratic. Both teams could have won it in the second half, but chose not to. Jones County recovered a fumble but could not score from the 23. Henderson intercepted a quick pass and returned it to Jones Cos. 44. The ball was advanced to the 20 then a fumble stopped the drive. Jones Cos. could not move so NAME ADDRESS PHONE SEND INFO. ON ABOVE SALES ( ) I HAVE PROPERTY TO SELL ( ) THE JACKSON PROCRESS-ARCUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA they punted low to roll dead at the Devil 18. Jackson could not move it, so a 31 yard punt to the 47 gave Jones Cos. good field position. They gamble for a fourth down at the Devil 39 and lose. What Jones could not do Jackson did for them when Willie Ward fumbled it away on the next play. The strong Devil defense held again, to set up the final desperate charge to break the tie. They reached the 16 at one point, but a third down loss resulted in a fourth down and seven field goal attempt that was futile. It ended later with Jackson in possession trying to get closer for another shot. Open is on the schedule next week and they show up again later in the season. Jackson has time this week to work on execution and kick coverage.

Georgia Public Safe ty Commissioner Colonel Herman Cofer said the State Patrol endorses no law enforcement publication other than the Georgia Peace Officer’s Association Maga zine and said he felt it was wrong for any firm to use the name of the Patrol in soliciting. “There may be many legitimate organizations doing police charitable work and offering good publica tions, but for them to raise money using the State Patrol’s name is unethical. We suggest any firms being approached by such publica tion firms to get references and check them with the nearest State Patrol Post,” he said. Colonel Cofer said the Patrol had gotten many complaints about solicitation firms around the state. “We just want to set the record straight,” he said. Fares Only Conductor: "Lady, you’ll have to pay fare for that child, he’s aver 12.” Pas senger: ‘‘How can he be over 12 when I’ve only been married ten years?” Con ductor: ‘‘l just collect fares, lady, not confessions ” exhibitors will be spread out over an 18 acre tract that used to be part of the 18th century Powers Plantation.
