Covington Football
Team Fails to Show
Up Here Friday
By DAVID “WARE” JENKINS
A change in coaches at Covington
High school is the reason given by
the manager of Covington's team for
not showing up for the" scheduled
game with Griffin High Thursday in
Griffin.
A letter was received here early in
the season accepting a game with
Griffin. The schedule was printed in
all the Atlanta papers, yet Coving
ton did not give Griffin any notice
that they would not fill their date
7 ‘
here. .
A large crowd was gathered at
Lightfoot park to see Griffin and
Covington tie up in a stiff combat,
but the opponents did not arrive. A
long distance call was sent to Cov
ington and the principal said the
team was ■playing College Park. No
excuse was given for their action ex
cept that the school changed coaches
and the schedule was not given in
full to the new man.
The excuses and alibis may sound
excusable, but when a crowd gathers
to sec a football game, it certainly
expects to see two teams show up.
However, the game played by two
teams picked from the squad was
weii worth seeing despite the little
pangs of disappointment that con
tinually came to mind.
By exerting a lot of imagination
the crestfallen spectators fancied
they could see some unknown band
of opponents desperately fighting our
gayly arrayed eleven. By a quick
change of jerseys, or to be exact, the
putting on of old jerseys, Coach
Taliaferro made him a new team.
The encouraging feature of the
practice was the completion of sev
eral neatly worked passes that would
have made any team sit up and take
notice. White received several of,
these passes and made nice gains for
his “side. ff Gammon, varsity guard,
ran true to form and looked good,
breaking through the line and down
ing his man.
Unless hard luck continues to fol
low our questionable schedule, Grif
fin will face Commercial High here
next Friday, followed by a trip to
Macon the next Friday to buck
Lanier, “Macon’s pride,” since Young
Stribling forsook his old homestead
for Atlanta.
It might be that the only mishaps
have occurred that will mar a per
fectly good season, so we will pub
lish the games that Griffin is sup
posed to play:
Commercial High in Griffin, Oc
tober 17; Lanier in Macon, October
24; Newman in Newman, October 31;
LaGrange in LaGrange, November 7.
This ends the season of out-of-town
games. Then Valdosta comes to
Griffin November 14 and a hot battle
is expected, for Valdosta was south
Georgia's champions last year and
press reports say that practically the
entire team returned for this season.
The season will be ended in Griffin
when Marietta makes its annual tour'
to our fair city of Turkish Towels
and Canned Pimientos.
