Deer prize Goat Twist at Cottage Inn Sparks Midfield Rivalry

George Clayton of the Cottage Inn hunts in Kentucky and brings back what he believes is a deer fawn only to discover the prize is a pet goat owned by a nearby farmhouse resident who greets him with disbelief. His friends tease with a goat cry as the tale goes national. The note then shifts to high school football, noting Kettering Fairmont Dragons allowed four points in ten games yet scored a school record 312 points in 1961. Captain William Harris, from Lockbourne AFB, weighs in on Buckeye coverage, praising Bobby Grimes over Chuck Bryant and endorsing Middletown’s John McCluskey to run Hayes’ offense.
