HETIC BATTLE
IS LOST FRIDAY
By JIMMIE FAGAN, JR.
Snarling at the defeat handed them
on Tuesday night of last week by the
fr'^t Montezuma quintet, the local Hi
team journeyed down Friday night to
play the Queener boys a return game
with the determination of bringing
home the meat, but the Montezuma
boys were anxious to retain what they
had captured and by 1 lone field goal
se X. the Peach county lads back home
with their heads bloody but not bow
ed.
For thirty-five minutes the local
team fought like demons and had
their opponents 15 to 13 with but a
few seconds to plfcy.
Two Extra Periods Played
Victory looked to be a certainty
but just four and three-puarters sec
onds before the pistol fired Mr. De
Vaughn rang a field goal from the
of the court, thus tying the
K [Score.
Aii extra three minutes-period
w.-. played without either team scor¬
ing. That was the roughest basket¬
ball played during that period that
the writer has ever seen, The ref
eree might know basket ball but back
in the dark ages when the writer
■was an all Southern forward for Fort
Valley Hi we didn’t play that rough.
That was long before any science was
applied to the game.
Harris Hafer Stars
t Fort Valley presented a new line
• ' jB^gainst Montezuma in this game,
with Little Murray and Nichols for¬
wards, Carithers center and Murray
aii» H4fer guards. The last named is
th* 'Jiidget of the team but he was
alXft the largest man on the floor
Friday night when it came to defend
ing Fort Valley’s Goal.
A large audience witnessed the
game but the writer is a little |
curious to know why some of the fac
ulty go that far to see their home
team play and then pull for the other
side, just because they were connected
^ith that school last year. The facul
of Fort Valley Hi and also the j
grammar school should at least pull
for their team. j

KIWANIANS WILL
• ELECT OFFICERS
ON DECEMBER 4
Quite an important event in the
Kiwanis Club of Fort Valley, and one
of much interest to the entire com¬
munity, will be the annual _ election
of officers of the club for 1926, to oc¬
cur on Friday, Dec. 4th. At last Fri¬
day’s luncheon of the club, T. Sanders

for officers and directors from the
memmbers, from which the commit¬
tee will report nominations of two
names each for president, vice-presi¬
dent, district trustee and secretary
treasurer and ten names for directors;
and the club will then elect one each
of officers and seven directors.
Rev. Albert Howard presented the
program which C. E. Martin, R. L.
Marchman and himself had arranged
for last Friday’s luncheon. Miss Lula
Ree Etheridge, of the high school,
captivated the Kiwanian ■ with vocal
solos. In fact the Kiw ains were so
fascinated that they misted upon
song after song, urgh g her upon the
program for the see- ; i time following
a splendid address by Mrs. Jno. A.
Houser on “What the Kiwanians and
other Men of Fort Valley can do to
Help Beautify the City.” Mrs. Houser
spoke in charming terms of the past
achievements of the city and its large
possibilities of beauty. She paid tri¬
bute to the Woman’s Club and Other
organizations of women that already
have accomplished so much in beau
tifying the city. She urged as two
thin K s especially calling for attention
now thhe removal of garbage cans
from streets and sidewalks and the .
observance of Arbor Day, Dec. 1,'by
the planting of trees here, and called
upon Kiwanians to give their active
support in these things. President
