Murphysboro hosts beard display for the upcoming centennial celebration in September. Pinckneyville’s Duster Thomas recently spent two weeks in Florida. Paris coach Harry Sortal has quit playing baseball with the MO-Valley Lakers. Harrisburg coach Ralph Davison finds himself lucky as he negotiates favorable housing terms.

Rule meetings led by Ernie Driggers are set for Sept 7 in Herrin and Sept 8 in Belleville, dates approximate.

Illinois Illini edge on lighter linebackers draw summer chatter
The piece notes Ray Eliot and Burt Ingwersen hearing taunts about championships and Rose Bowls as Illinois lists lighter backers like Elie Papa and Don Ellis among its top linebackers.
