Knox Defeats High School
41 —Q
On Friday afternoon, Nov. 3d,
the Athens High and Industrial
School met her arch enemy, the
Knox Institute aggregation, on
the Chase Street Park gridiron.
The air was balmy and the soil
perfectly dry ; so that all nature
tended to make the game entirely
possible.
The High School children took
a stand on the west side of “stage
of action.” While immediately
*
east of them was the large Knox
delegation with banners waving
and colors flying.
At four o’clock Dr. B. L. Jack
#•
son and Mr. Henry Pinkard com
pared their watches: the game
was called. Events were brief in
the first half, and the agile Athens
Highs seemed to be a pretty good
match for the Knox men. But
in the beginning of the second
“semester” the Knox skill togeth
er with the superior weight of her
THE ATHENS REPUBLIQUE
men began to assert itself. All
through the last half however,
the light weight Athens Highs put
up a gallant fight for their sport
ing honor and to Bave the tender
hearts of the young lassies— class
mates and comrades —who came
to cheer them and would see them
win.
The Knox soon became success
ful, in working the college trick a
that their coach, Mr. W. L. Bur
nett, and assistant Coach, Mr.
W.C. Brunt, had taught them;
and about mid-way the last half
made a touch down as often
astheycartd to. The time-keep
ers were lost with wild enthusiasm
as the “Tigers” crossed one goal
after the other, and thus permitted
the game to continue fully fiftem
too long. At dusk when nature
was turning against them the
game was called with Knox claim
ing 41 points, and the Knightly
little High School eleven ‘’snow
ed under” but heads upright r*~ady
to advance again at the first op
portunity.
WOMAN’S PARTY INSTITUE
“BEST LAWS’’
Washington, D. C. Nov —6 A
series of “best laws” dealing
with all women’s subjects, it elu
ding >nairiage, divorce, guard
ship of children, wives, property
rights, jury service, and women
in industry is now being drafted
by the legislative depaitment of
the National Womau’s party for
presentation to all state legisla
tures.
These laws taken from actual
law's now in force in oi e or mote
states, will be presented to the
party conference of etate and nat
ional oi ficers in Washington on
Nov. 11 and 12.
If endorsed, the state branches
of the party will be authorized to
campaign for their passage at the
next meeting of state legislatu
res.
Miss Maud Younger, legisla
tive chairman of the Woman's
party, in announcing this new
proposal, said:
“The purpose of the new plan
is to make our campaign not only
a negative one, removing discrim
inations against women from our
laws, but also a positive one, sub
stituting the highest form of equ
ality.
“For instance, one of the be6t. ,
lawb in the country on illegitima
cy is that of North Dakota, where
illegitimacy has been abolished.
“One of the best laws on ‘sup
port' is that of Louisiana, where
the law states that husband and
wife pledge to each other mutual
fidelity, aid, and assistance.
“One of the best laws on alimo
ny is that of Ohi >, where husband
or wife may receive alimony from
the other.
“One of the best laws on d< wer
and courtesy is in Virginia, where
each .was made equal. In other
states there aro good inheritance
laws, good guardianship Jaws, good
laws as to jury service, and equal
protection for men and women
workers.”
