Lot Of Sins Bared In Legion-Elks' Incident

The Legion-Elks committee briefly considered disbanding the 1966 season but chose to give offenders, including leader Morris, another chance under new coach Pete Cearfoss. The piece notes sponsorship and community support issues, calls for stricter discipline, and predicts revised plans for a stronger 1967 program with broader parent and community involvement.
