Hunkey Jones Is
Elected Captain
of Football Team
By DAVID “WARK” JENKINS
Hunkey Jones was elected captain
'with Ira Powell alternate at a meet
ing of the high school football team
Wednesday afternoon. These two
men should be as capable of leading
the boys to victory as any one
chosen from, the squad.
Hard luck is on the trail of the
football team. Two of the men that
would have started Friday’s game
with A and M have received injuries
that may keej> them on the side
lines.
In, the scrimmage of Wednesday
afternoon Chet Huckaby sprained his
right ankle badly and it may keep
him out of the first game. Until
then he has showed up as one of
the best backfield men.
Smaha, the 199-pound fullback, re
ceived an injury that keeps him from
practice. Last season Giggie broke
his collar bone and since then it has
been weak, and a blow received in
practice Tuesday injured it in such
a way that he cannot use his left
arm freely.
Despite the hard luck, the entire
team is in high hopes of winning by
a big score from the Farmers Friday
afternoon.
Homer Key, the fastest broken
field runner ever at Griffin High, will
make more first downs than any man
wearing one of the new orange and
black uniforms this season, is the
bet the writer will wager. Adrian
Maurer may do better at Oglethorpe,
but Griffin can boast a good second
in Key.

Young Stribling
Loses to Stone
In Fast Fight
Newark, N. J., Sept. 25.—By a fu
rious finish in the final round dur
ing which he sent his opponent to
the floor, without a count, Ad Stone,
of Paterson, N. J., earned a news
paper decision over Young Stribling,
of Atlanta, Ga., in their 12 round
light heavyweight fight last night.
Stribling’s speed and use of a
lightning left jab had matched
Stone’s punches to the body during
the first eleven rounds of fast ac
tion punctuated by frequent clinches.
When they came up for the last
frame the Georgian was atop his
opponent for the first few moments,
but Stone fought his way out and
caught Stribling off balance with a
left hook which sent him to the
floor.
Strib Up Immediately.
The Georgian was up immediately
with a smile, but Stone, encouraged
by the Jersey crowd, sailed in with
a body attack, under which his
younger opponent crumpled. Stone
beat Stribling about the ring, Al
most without opposition during the
rest of the round but could not drop
his opponent.
The sensational finish was a cli
max to a stirring battle. Stribling
annoyed by the unfriendly attitude
of the crowd, opened the fight with
a speedy attack, landing almost at
will. Stone found himself in the
second round and opened a body at
tack which he continued throughout
the bout.
Stribling slowed up in the third,
and Stone, continuing to improve,
outboxed the Georgian in the fourth,
making him miss frequently, In
the fifth the Paterson marine landed
the first telling blow of the battle, a
right to the stomach, under which
Stribling’s legs buckled.
Most Effective in Ninth.
Stribling recovered in the sixth
and earned a shade in the next four
rounds,, during which his flashy at
tack kept him well on top of Stone,
who, however, scored continually
with jolts to the body during the in
fighting which climaxed most of
Stribling’s leads. The Georgian
landed his most effective blow in
the ninth, a hard left to the jaw,
which met Stone coming in.
Stribling continued to outbox the
marine as the eleventh opened, but
was suddenly checked bya stiff left
to the jaw which rocked his head
and forced him to cover. Stone
pursued his advantage during the
rest of the round and earned the
popular decision with his sensational
finish which set the crowd wild.
Stone had an advantage of 11
pounds over his youthful rival, corn
ing in at 178 while stribling weigh
ed 168. »

NO ESCAPE
An old Highland clergyman was
lecturing a group of his people in
the village hall and again and aagin
repeated the words; “There will be
weeping and wailing and gnashing
of teeth,” says the Edinburgh Scots
'
man. _ --------- -- r r ... „
A would-be wit at the back of the
hall called out: “What about them
that hae nae teeth?
The minister looked down over
his glasses and said, with great
solemnity and complete conviction:
“Teeth will be provided.”
