JOHN GLENN HOMECOMING PLANS SET

Lincoln Township Tax Rate Is Lowest In County Higher property tax rates in 1967 are almost certain to reach every taxpayer in St. Joseph County. The County Tax Adjustment Board on Monday began to review all the proposed 1967 budgets and tax levies but there is little h< pe the board can whittle any one of the 27 overall rates back to where it is this year. Lincoln Township residents have the best chance of getting back to this year’s tax rate. The increase in Lincoln Township is only 27 cents. This will almost certainly enjoy the double distinction of having the lowest rate in the county by more than $1 and the only one below $6 for each SIOO assessed valuation. The 1967 Lincoln rate now stands at $5.89. The North Liberty rate could jump from $7.70 to $9.37 this year. A new levy of 54 cents for a cumulative sewer fund and the 63 cent hike in the South Bend Community School Corp, tax, account for most of the increase. ENGAGED * */ ’ 1 '. g* 11111111 l Mr. and Mis.

It took the Knights just nine plays to eat up 67 yards for the first score as Mike Fahey ran the final 11 yards through the right side of his line. Tile try for the extra point on a run was no gud and the Knights hold a 6-0 lead with less than five minutes gone in the game. The Shamrocks then went to work on offense and had moved from their own 31 yard line to the Marian 41 before a fumble in the backfield was recovered by Marian who took over on their own 45 yard line Three plays later after a pass and a long run. Fahey took off from Iha 32 yard line and ran all the way for the second touchdown. This time the point was made as Fahey ran that , over, gvin? the Marian team a W-O-ltwd wißi 3 »*‘U siwwiag

After almost four minutes had passed in the second quarter, and on a fourth down and 11 situation, quarterback John Firrettie passed to end Tony Germano in the end zone for the score. He was all alone as he gathered in this pass to push the lead to 13 points again following the extra point on a pass. This was sh< rt-lived however, as once again it was Gail Ross up to his old tricks. On a cross buck, hi- broke through the right side of the Marian line on a second down play and scampered 70 yards, once again leaving a trail of dark shirts behind him. This time the try for the extra point was blocked and the lead was 20-13, but 7:00 minutes still remained in the second quarter.

point was added to make the score read 27^13 With just 6:01 left in the game. This put the Shamrocks in a spot where they had to score twice and get both points to even tie or score three times to win. They had the ball twice, but were once forced to punt from deep in their own territory for their only kick of the game.
