Jim Martin, 310 Jefferson st,, was one of 33 boys to report for Franklin College football practice early in September. Jim is a 1963 graduate of Decatur High School.

He was one of several freshmen prospects which made the selection of starting players a tough decision for Coach “Red” Faught. Franklin took their opener from Olivet. Michigan, by a 13-7 score, then won last Saturday from Anderson College by a 26-6 tally. They travel to Madison for another Hoosier College Conference clash this Saturday. They meet a young, but tough Hanover team. Martin earned three letters in football at Decatur High, and was senior co-captain his last year. He also owns three baseball letters and two basketball letters from Decatur High.
