BY JULIAN GRIFFIN
We are now beginning to won
der just what would happen if all
the boys left Griffin high except 11
men, and we are inclined to believe
that Coach Taliaferro would take
those 11 men and develop them into

Key adds « little more weight and
experience, he will be offered free
meal tickets at any of the colleges
in the south he cares to attend.
On one play from scrimmage in
the earlier stages of the contest,
he dodged throughout the entire
defense and raced 67 yards to touch-
and showed them a
pair of cleats on several occasions.
And he only weighs 134 pounds.
The rest of the team is naturally
lacking in experience and could not
put up the brainy generalship that
has characterised local teams in the
past few years, but they certainly
made up for it in fight and deter
mination.
Captain “Hunite/."
Captain “Hunkey” Jones is in the
line to steady the boys and lead
the forward rush both on offense
and defense. Jones is one of the
hardest tacklers we ever saw and
i« simply arsenic in recovering fum
bles. We don’t think he has play
ed in a single game yet* without
snatching up somebody’s blunder to
advantage. He is another man
headed for college football if he so
Gene Burnett is also in the line
with varsity experience, and his
presence also helps matters consid
erably. ,

more than once for
neat little gains. One of yester
day’s touchdowns was scored in this
manner.
He is also one of the fastest men
you ever saw to be so large. If he
had the wind, he could hold his own
with any man on the field in a 100
yard dash, H Jiggi would eoneen-
trate his efforts on the game
train diligently, it would be
a
touch and go proposition to find his
superior on the gridiron.
So, with the great triumvirate of
Jones, Burnett and Smaha, the only
old men left from last year, Coach
Taliaferro went to work and build
ed for himself and his school and
his town a football team, and a neat
little team it is.

RIGHT IS FIRED
Carbondale, 111., Sept, 27.—By the
Associated Press.)—Lawrence M.
Hight, of Ina, confessed jSqison slay
er of his wife, Anna, and instigator
of the poisoning of Wilford Sweeten,
also of Ina, was expelled from the
ministry of the Methodist Episcopal
church this evening. Expulsion was
voted by the “select number” of the
southern Illinois conference of the
church in session here since Wednes
day.
In 1922 the cotton boll weevil cov

As intimated above, the best man
on the field was a freshman, and
naturally, a new man. Ira Powell
is playing the other half, with Jiggi
at full and Preston Bunn calling
signals at quarter.
One could hardly call Ira a new
man, but this is l*is first year run

are glad 40 See the old b °y
the game. He has plenty of that
which is found underneath the belt
of real football players, and doesn’t
mind for « minute getting in there
and fighting—you can take it either
way and one of the the visitors
alleges kicked him in the back
ing the game will vouch for it.
It is bad business, however, to
settle a score with an opponent
while on the playing field, and we
believe Spivis regrets that instance,
and will get in there and
coach a good man.
The writer didn't know he was
ffoing to have to report the game,
and not having a copy of the lineup
of either squad, is not in a "position
to name the other men on the lines,
but them, there are some splendid players |
on and the team as a whole,
is one any coach would be proud
to claim.
- Aerial Attack
It will be many a day before any
ligh school develops a forward pass
combination equal to that old Brew
er-to-Walker and Walker to Brewer
attack of old. The field was too
slippery to try many passes yes
terday, but one was completed, Pow
ell to Jones, out of two or three at
tempts that netted 18 yards. Bunn
made Griffin’s third touchdown and
Key kicked two goals.
We would like to see the team on
dry field when they have a chance
to display their wares in the over
head game and give Key - a real
chance to do some broken field run
ning.
Matt Is Star.
The outstanding Bi|n on the visit
ing eleven was Matt, the quarter
back who played without a helmet.
He got away for several nice gains
and he and Hawkins supplied prac
tically all the drive afforded by the
visitors,
At the beginning of the second
quarter, when Griffin was two touch
downs ahead, Coach Taliaferro put
in a number of subs and the visitors
played nearer to par. No more
was done until the last quar
The game as a whole was
better than one would expect for the

the few loyal fans who stayed
through the drizzling rain to watch
it.
Griffin plays Gordon hare next
Friday and here’s hoping they have
better weather and better attend
ance than fate issued yesterday.
They deserve it.
NEGRO HANGED
Thomasville, Ga., Sept. 27.—Will
Hodge, a negro convicted of the
murder of his wife at the April term
of court here, was hanged yester
day afternoon at 3 o’clock in the
county jail. He was 'pronounced
dead by physicians 15 minutes af
terward. Hodge seemed quite calm
and resigned to his fate and said he
had made his peace with God. As
the body shot through the trap and
came to the end of the rope death
was said to appear instantaneous.
