The Jackets showed a stout defense last FriAly and are working to liven up their scoring punch, .■/.< Ihe New Haven Bulldogs, who for the last .two years have had one of the best football teams in these parts are down this year, but are not to be taken too lightly. They beat Garrett in their opened and will be no soft touch. It is believed that the Jackets can beat the Bulldogs if they get their offense in gear. It should be a real good game, and we hope to see a lot of local fans at the game. The New Haven football field is just off Highway 30 and is easy to reach by state road 101. It has been fine football weather and a night out does everybody good. Phil Debolt, Jacket punter and for a while a half back, has been handicapped for a long time by a bad knee which kept him from doing much running. This week, Coach Worthman has been using PK.il at guard and he has shown a lot of drive. Phil weighs in at about 165 and would be a good addition to the line. Bill Roth IS* still limping a little from a pulled thigh muscle, hut it Is hoped he will be able to play Friday. If the combination of Tony Kelly to Terry Murphy gets clicking consistently at New Haven, the local boys will be hard to stop. The Jackets have a real chance to grab the NEIC championship if they continue to show the spirit they have. The first time the Auburn team got the ball last Friday, they lost ground on three straight plays. Jerry Leitz has done a swell job with the line and as these boys sharpen up their offense a little, they will be a real contender in the conference. Robert Dille Heads County Association Robert Dille. coach at the BerneFrench high school, was elected president of the Adams county athletic association at the first meeting of the new schbol year, held at the Geneva high school Tuesday evening. Other officers are Harold Schutz, Geneva coach, as vice president, and Don Arnold, Adams Central coach, reelected secretary-treas-urer. Trade in a Good Town — Decatut

Valdes Is Knockout Winner Over Cockell LONDON (INS) — The drum beating from Nino Valdes’ camp for a title shot picked up todayafter the Cuban heavyweight champion stopped British titlist Don Cockell in three rounds. t Valdes scored a knockout over Cockell at rain drenched White City Stadium Tuesday night when the pudgy Briton, suffering from a bad cut between the eyes, was unable to answer the bell for the fourth round. It took world champiofi Rocky Marciano 14 rounds to knock out Cockell at San Francisco on May 16. It was Cockell’s first fight since. The 216-pound Cockell, nine pounds heavier than Valdes, went to his knees for a count of eight in the third round. Then a severe cut on his forehead spurted blood and upon examination, referee Charley Davidson refused to permit him to answer the ball. The crowd enjoyed a bizarre preliminary bout between 7 foot 2 Ewart Potgietier of South Africa and Jamaica’s 5 foot 10 Simon Templar. The South African weighed 318 pounds to 236 for the Jamaican and won the bout when Templar quit after the sixth round because he was “too tired to continue.'’
