JIMTOWN RUNS PAST FALCONS IN OPENER 34-0 The John Glenn Falcons were no match for the hard running Jimtown Jimmies Friday night as the two Northern State Conference rivals opened the 1991 football season with a game at Glenn's field. The final score was Jimtown 34, Glenn 6, in a game that was dominated by the Jimmies running attack. Jimtown had no less than three backs who gained over 100 yards each in this game while Glenn’s yardage was almost all through the air, throwing the ball 39 times in this game. G Statistics J 12 First Downs 22 25 Rushing 437 165 Passing 14 39 Passes Attempted 8 19 Passes Completed 2 4 Had Intercepted 0 3 Punts 1 26 Average Yards 31 1 Fumbles 5 0 Fumbles Lost 3 45 Yards Penalized 55 The game opened with quick possession changes as the Jimmies fumbled on their first play from scrimmage but after getting the ball in good field position, the Falcons were interecepted at the Jimtown 1 yard line by Ben Strang. Not only did this stop a potential Glenn score, it also set the Jimmies in motion with their running attack as they used most of the rest of the quarter and 16 plays to drive 99 yards for the score with Cari Battice going the final 13. A kick failed, but the Jimmies led 6*o as the first quarter ended. Another Jimtown interception of a Falcon pass, they had four in this game, set up a quick score for the visitors from Elkhart County. On the first play from scrimmage, Rueben Carpenter raced 63 yards for a TD. This time a pass failed in an attempt to get two points, but the Jimmies led 12-0. There was one more score before halftime as Lance Pace kicked a 28 yard field goal and it was 15-0 at the main intermission. It looked like the game might turn into a real one-sided affair early in the second half as Carpenter scored again on their initial possession to make it 22-0 after Pace kicked the extra point. However, Ryan Peterson provided the spark that was needed when he returned the following kickoff back to the Jimtown 47, and they put their next drive in motion, It took only six plays before Peterson then lugged it in from three yards out giving Glenn their first score of the new season. A missed pass left it at 22-6, but at least the Falcons had come back at this time. It was to be short-lived, however, as Battice climaxed another Jimtown drive on the ground before the third period ended and it was 28-6 after three. The final score of the game came late in the fourth period when Quentin Spencer ran in from 4 yards out to wind up the scoring for the game. The young Falcons have a lot of work to do, but with only a handful of returning lettermen, they are bound to get better. This week they will host the Knox Redskins, who were 34-0 losers to North Judson in their opener last Friday

LEGION AND AUXILIARY TO VISIT KNIGHTSTOWN HOME SEPTMBER 8 September 8 is designated as Knightstown Home Day for The American Legion and its Auxiliary. This is the day set aside for the members of the two organizations to visit the Indiana Solider's and Sailor’s Home (known as Knightstown Home). The Home is governed by the State of Indiana and organizations such as The American Legion and Auxiliary add the many extras any child would appreciate. Since 1865 the Home has been maintained for orphans and children of veterans. It is located two miles south of Knightstown, Indiana on State Road 140. The superintendent in charge of the Home invites anyone to visit the Home and tour the Division Homes and the school. The children are always anxious to show anyone their rooms and facilities, especially on this particular day. The children await this day all year long, as its carnival atmosphere, with rides, game booths and food is most welcome to all. All the children have a sponsor, who throughout the year, remembers them on their birthday and special holidays or at any time of the year. On Knightstown Home Day extra money is given the children for their day. In appreciation for giving this day to the children, they in turn present a program to the adults. The many talents of the children are shown at this time (and many have great abilities). So, any member of The American Legion, Auxiliary, S.A.L., or any other interested person, pack up the family, pack a picnic basket (or eat on the grounds), gas up the family car and head south to Knightstown Home on September 8. The time? From early morning to late at night. "Ignorance is not innocence but sin." R Browning
