fensive stand. With six

THE 8AVA..,xVAH TRIBUVft
A Tribute to Sol C. Johnson
By Wilton C. Scott
The Sol C. Johnsdn Atom
Smashers have won only one
game up to this point, but they
show unusual potentialities of a
great ball club. Those who have
watched the team in action dur¬
ing their first games agree that
the Smashers have all the mark¬
ings of a winning team and pre¬
dictions are that many victories
are in store for them.
Perhaps the greatest manifes
tation of the courage and begin-1 “guts”
possessed by this team of
ners was displayed when they
met Beach High school on the
gridiron. They went into inform-j ac-
tion after having been
ed only two days before the tilt
took place. Beach High won
the game 42 0, but the Smash
ers won the respect and admir¬
ation of many fans who witness¬
ed the contest.
i
The second game was played
with Robert Smalls at Beaufort,
S. C. and again the Atom Smash¬
ers displayed the grit and fight
which charcterize the team,
losing by a score of 27-12.
Risley High of Brunswick, of-
fered the competition for the
third game of the season and
