The John Glenn Falcons opened their 1992 football season Friday night by visiting the Jimtown Jimmies, who are ranked number one in their class in the state of Indiana. The Jimmies, always a football power, wasted little time in living up to their pre-season ranking, scoring twice in the first quarter and coasting on to a 27-0 victory. For the Falcons, playing under a new coach and new system this year, there was just too much Jimtown power in this game. Glenn Statistics Jimtown 11 First Downs 15 68 Rushing 197 45 Passing 110 20 Passes Attempted 8 Passes Completed 4 2 Had Intercepted 0 5 Punts 1 31 Average Yards 29 1 Fumbles Lost 0 15 Yards Penalized 76 Despite losing quite a few boys from last year’s champion team, the Jimmies had a balanced attack that was just too strong for the Falcons. Quarterback Brent Sachs opened the scoring in the first quarter with a 65 yard scoring pass to Greg Vitali. After a missed conversion by kick, they scored on their next possession also, this time with Sachs sneaking it in from one yard out to end a scoring drive. A successful run on the conversion made it 14-0, the way the first period ended. The Jimmies scored in each of the next two quarters as well. Kris Seymore tallied from 44 yards out on a run and in the third period, Seymore again crossed into paydirt this time catching another scoring strike from Sachs. The Falcons did pick up 11 first downs in this game, but just couldn’t sustain a drive against the Jimmies defense to score. Three turnovers hurt, losing the ball twice on interceptions and one on a fumble. Visit Kaox Friday The Falcons will continue on the road yet this week as they visit Knox to battle the Redskins at 7:30 p.m. Friday. Knox was a 17-14 winner over North Judson Friday night in their opener with a late field goal making the difference. Glenn will then open at home on September 11, hosting La Ville, a first game winner over Plymouth as a very strong starting schedule faces the Falcons of Dan Drotar this season.

SMOKING DOWN: DIPPING, SNIFFING A CHAW UP! (HNN) — While smoking in American continues to decline — slowly but surely — except among teenagers, chewing tobacco, dipping and sniffing snuff is increasing among certain types of people, reports Health News Network, the news service of the Indiana Association of Ostoepathic Physicians & Surgeons. Smokeless tobacco can contribute to serious health problems; damage to gum tissue, increased chance of decay and early loss of teeth, cancer in gums, tongue, pharynx, esophagus, persistent hoarseness, coughing, difficulty breathing and swallowing, pain, change in voice pitch, to mention some of the most common problems. Nitrosamines are chemicals know n to cause cancer in laboratory animals and are believed to cause cancer in humans. They are present in chewing tobacco and snuff at levels 8 to 100 times higher than those detected in tobacco smoke, according to Dr. Owen Beard, medical consultant to the Arkansas Department of Health.
