SPELLS DEFEAT
FOR GRIFFIN HI
Local Football Team Fails
to Score on Locust
Grove.
By DAVID “WARE” JENKINS
Griffin lost the second game of
their schedule Friday to Locust
Grove, after playing one of the best
games ever staged on the old field
known as Lightfoot Park. The game
was scheduled after Gordon Institute
had backed down to play Griffin. As
a last resort Coach Taliaferro phoned
Locust Grove coach for a game and
he picked a winning team in the
place of Gordon.
The first half of the game iwas
slow and played in a manner unltSu^
all former Griffin teams. The fact
that the visitors scored a touchdown
when the game was fresh seemed to
have “whipped” the boys completely,
and the point after the touclidown
being made easily knocked the last
bit of fighting spirit out of the
wearers of the orange and black.
Jones Leads.
Captain Hunkey Jones was in the
lead of both offensive and defensive
plays. Hunkey just follows that ball
and shows a fighting spirit that
should keep his men in the same
mood.- As in the good old days,
Hunkey was there to make good all
fumbles and turn hard luck into gain.
As for stars in the first half, they
were all dim. Key made several
good gain?, but the heavy opposition
soon tired him put and he was un
able to sidestep with the pep that
made him shine in last Friday’s
game with A. and M.
Now for the real part of the game,
the last half. Individual mention is
out of the question, for every man
that entered into the play showed up
a real football man. Giggy Smaha
(first name spelled correctly, for he
wrote it down for,the scribbler)
full like a battering ram, tearing
down all in his way. His 199 pounds
may have beep reduced by hard play
ing, but h<? has enough weight to
make him seem like a steam engine
running wild. On one very notice
able play he carried three defensive
men and one of his own for a dis
tance that made the Crowd go wild.
Quarterback Good.
The quarterback and the tackles
for Locust Grove played football that
looked collegiate. Their efforts to
break through Griffin’s team near the
end of the game looked more than
feeble, for Joe Spivis made tackles
that would be below shoestrings, and
might be called "rubber heel plunges N
is football shoes are so equipped.
Spivis got all “het up” and caused
the followers of the sport to yell for
Spivis “to get the man.” No argu
ments were evident on the part of
Spivis and he played the game for
the game’s sake, forgetting all per
sonal feelings.
Griffin started up a passing attack
on the fellows from L. G. I. and some
neat gains were made in this way.
Jones caught a pass for a gain of
about 20 yards and Burnette made a
pass good for an equal distance. The
Griffin boys seemed to take on new
fighting spirit and the game could
have been ours if their pluck could
have regained the energy lost by a
few errors and lack of quick think
ing near the beginning.
Hard Fought.
Back to the first half again, we
remember that the tackles were made
around the neck and failed to land a
man when the right tackle would
have stopped him easily. However,
the game was hard fought and the
coach was satisfied with the showing
his boys made against a team that
was rated too low. To prove his be
lief that Griffin High made a good
showing, he declared the drinks were
on him and the soda fount had a
grand rush on milk shakes, and all
men that played in the game “took
him up.
Although the score stood one touch
down for Locust Grove against Grif
fin’s goose egg, the battle was fought
and lost in a manner that spelled
good sportsmanship for both teams.

Jones L.E.. ...... Coker
