2mm“ IN HIGH SCHOOL DEFEATS }i rn m - BARNESVJLLE AGGIES, 20 TO 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 ■ : ■- a winning football team, At the beginning of practice this ** went nt over over to to see see the the candidates re por an , n view of all the first atrtog nmn lost from last year’s 11 , t* d year ’ bUt the u hat h H ~ over the Barnesville Aggies, 20 to th«T7s that is a go7 going ry t to make 7 bl the l 11 teams 8nd ° on ne " “ P ^ Uke 8entleman on th« team T\ Key 8 * Wk ; ymg ° n l the h#lf ‘ i»ck jKmitions, oosit io stepped i out on ‘ the muddy field and gave the fans an exh bitmn of broken field running at would make any of the college Star* swell with pride. When the field gets dry (If it ever does) snd 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. , Jiggi, Himself. Old Jiggi Smaha, the Syrian, who is alleged to tip the scales at 199 pounds stripped—and we don’t doubt p]unglnff ful, « an< l he hurl . * massive frame into the Poaing defense. op 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. New Material 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 ered 22,386 square miles of new territory. Persons under the age of 18 may not be admitted to opium dens in Java. 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 "T ** *"* ^ and he making a good man. Preston Bunn knew a good town and good looking ^ girls when he saw one of 80 he m0Vad UP tTOm ForByth to sr “ oth!r along football experience from team8 ’ Hi * addiU0n t0 the 8<,uad is a valuable one. THe I " an h0ldin * down the pivot P ° altion W88 none other tBan our 0ld fr,end “ Joe Spivia " Rogers. 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 | j first well contest worth of the season and was the time and money 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. The offspring of one pair of cot ton boll weevils may approximate 12,700,000.
