Says Losing Attitude Must Be Overcome Comet Coach Optimis Akron Beacon Journal 21 Tuesday, September 10, 1968 Repudiate Separation Of Races tic Ul.t twin Mms fiat 4 fUt0lfft liMliMWd mw fc 2) 4 1 In By SHELDON OCKER About all that can be said of Coventry's Comets in recent seasons is they have been unpleasantly consistent. At road'f end of misguided football touis in 1965-66-67, the Comets came away with but three triumphs in 27 games, going 1-8 each time. Only the historians can recall with detail Coventry's last successful campaign the 1964 season which ended 7-2 overall and 5-2 in the Metropolitan League, good for a second place tie with Norton. The Comets 40-0 retreat at the hands of Green Friday did nothing to conjur up hopes of a return to the form they displayed in 1964. Yet, Keith Willard, imported from Farm-ington, Me.

to coach feels an influx of sophomores and juniors have enough talent to bring about a reversal. WILLARD says he realized it would be a building situation this year but forecasts the Comets may emerge from their lethargy by late season. to Friday's opener as a case in point. The Comets were down only 6-0 at halftime and missed three scoring opportunities before the break. The Comets recovered a punt on the enemy six-yard line but couldn't push it in and after catching a pass with daylight ahead, a receiver stumbled and fell.

The Comets also took the opening kickoff and marched beyond the Green 10-yard line but ran out of gas. SHOWERS and thundershowers tonight along the East Coast.

U. S. District Judge Leon Higginbotham, president the foundation, opened the five-day conference by urging the delegates "to take time out to think rather than to follow the road of polarization." Dr. Higginbotham told the 700 delegates: "While we want to build black economic power and strength, we want that to serve as a step for entry into full and open society." One goal of the convention is to chart a 10-year-plan for Negro progress.

That rezoning proposal garnered opposition from nearby residents and was rejected by Bath Twp. officials. Trustees met Monday night in a joint session with the Township Advisory Council. They discussed using inheritance tax funds for a new Town Hall site. They have approximately $50,000 to spend.

Other inheritance funds totaling $20,000 have been earmarked for roadwork and a new police cruiser. M. G. O'Neil said the campaign also is designed to encourage registration and voting by employes. "There is no better means for stimulating a man's interest in politics than his support of a policital party with a cash contribution," he said.

All funds collected go to the local party organizations designated by the contributors in the various cities participating in the program. The campaign has been personally endorsed by both presidential nominees Democrat Hubert Humphrey and Republican Richard Nixon the company said.

"But the amount actually spent on tliese contracts was $244,035.15. The trainees paid $58,000 of that amount, leaving a net cost to the government of $185,535.15." The OEO official said the decision to make legal services available to Job Corps enrollces i a fundamental OEO position on special needs of the poor.

He added that the poor have been deprived of their legal rights because of lack of finances. Keeping Coventry's past history in mind, then, it isn't difficult to see why the Comets suffered a letdown the final two quarters. WILLARD said it was the worst beating he had ever sustained as a player in high school and at University of Maine and during his five-year regime as head coach at Farmington. However, he expects to win maybe within a few weeks and certainly next season. Willard says the Comet sophomores are good and that several juniors will add strength.

Of 14 starters, four are seniors, six are juniors and four are sophomores. He plans an attack which will feature running and pass- mg in equal measures. Junior quarterback Scott Heller (6-1, 160) will be joined by senior fullback Gary Magoulick (6-1, 180), senior halfback Jim i i. 1- Schultz (5-8, bo) and junior halfback Denny Church (6-0, 170) in the backfield.

William Ayres' claim that mdre than $499,000 in Government money was spent on legal services for Job Corps trainees prior to August 1967.

It was feared the senior linebacker might have kidney stones but Lesky no longer need worry on that score, doctors say. Folusewych still is hobbled by an ankle injury as is Foxx, the converted quarterback who earned his spurs defensively with last season's defensive secondary. ALTHOUGH he limped out of the same scrimmage which shelved Folusewych, Wilson has recovered rapidly from a gimpy ankle amazingly so, Puddington says admiringly, since the former Dayton Roth High athlete also reported 15 to 18 pounds overweight. "He's shed poundage rapidly and currently is at about 208, which puts him only six pounds over the weight at which he finished the 1967 season," Puddington says. Meanwhile middle guard Nick Zuj of Niagara Falls, Ontario underwent knee surgery which will necessitate his being redshirted this season.

It will be the second operation for the Canadian who was selected to the second all-Mid-American Conference team although he played less than two MAC contests a year ago before being injured. PROBABLY the best news to date in the Kent camp is Joe Pledger's returhn to academic grace. The Cleveland senior came through Summer session examinations with flying colors and appears to be ready physically for his best season.

LP -The New Orleans Saints announced the retirement today 0 fullback Jimmy Taylor, saying he "will probably go aown in nisiory as Louisa na greatest football player." Taylor will continue his association with the Saints in a front office capacity in the area of public relations. TAYLOR will be 33 in 10 more days and behind him are 10 years of glory and records in the National Football League. Taylor did not step out willingly, however.

He insisted to the last that he's every bit as fast as he was in the 1960 through 1965 seasons, each of which saw him rush for more than 1,000 yards a record. Taylor failed to show up for Friday's exhibition game at Minnesota after reportedly being assigned to the Saint's kickoff team. Coach Tom Fears- said Taylor was "off" the team because of his actions and a series of meetings with New Orleans brass followed. Jerry Kramer of the Green Bay Packers, a teammate of Taylor in his best years, termed Taylor's relegation to the kickoff squad "a direct slap in the face." "You just don't put a guy like that on the kickoff team," Kramer snapped.
