New Home and Uniforms Do Not Fix Inexperienced Tigers
Shady Spring coach Al Harper rebuilds the Tigers with a young, undersized roster after a 0-2 start in 1966. Key backfield losses and a thin line challenge the squad, but seniors like Richard Currence and Robert Richmond, plus quarterback hopeful Sterling Lewis, strive to upset Cedar Grove in the home opener as they chase their first win of the year.

Patterson KOs Cooper In 4th at Wembley
Floyd Patterson, back after his win, knocked out Britain’s Henry Cooper in the fourth round at Wembley. The 31-year-old former world champion weighed 193 pounds and floored Cooper twice before a final left-right to head and body ended the fight at 2:20. Patterson voiced plans to pursue another title shot with Cassius Clay, or a promoter nominated challenger, possibly Karl Mildenberger, aiming for a title bout early next year. About 9,000 Britons witnessed the stoppage as Patterson showed peak punching power despite a rusty start.
