Is that the professional players have

more letter-perfect and have no three

Professional coaches in all instances
either are former college players or

morning, R. B. Jackson, prominent
West Jefferson citizen who was
formerly a member of the town
board and an active leader in the
Methodist church, was found gull

fore the action took place, but said
that he was not intoxicated. Sus-
