BLAKELY AND DAWSON,
PLAY SCORELESS TIE
GAME MARRED BY CONTINUAL
WRANGLING.
The “Bob Cats" of Blukel} Hi an 1
the Dawson Hi played a rather list
less game in Blakely last Friday,
resulting iu a scoreless tie. The
game was somewhat slow aril un
interesting, although marked at times
by flashes of brilliancy. The Dawson
boys had a little the edge on Blakely
in part of the game and threatened
Blakely's goal line on several occas
ions, but lacked the driving power
to put it over. Also the local boys
always stiffened whenever the ball
got close to their goal line. The
Bob Cats went into the game with a
weakened line, Cox, at left end, being
out on account of sickness, and Loy
less, at right guard, also out, being
absent from the city.
Blakely kicked off and Dawson
gradually worked the ball on down
the field. The first quarter was
marked by frequent fumbles by both
sides, Dawson started wrangling,
which they succeeded in keeping up
during the entire game. At the end
of the first quarter the Dawson boys
had the ball on Blakely’s 20 yard
line. Score: Blakely 0, Dawson 0.
Second Quarter: Dawson attempt
ed a field goal, which failed. Blakely
was given the ball on their 20 yard
line. The Bob Cats made several
good gains and then were held. Hutch
ins, for Blakely, punted 40 yards and
Tarver, for Blakely, recovered. On
a forward pass, Dawson intercepted it,
but was tackled immediately. Dawson
could not gain and punted. West
brook, for Blakely, returned 25 yards.
Tarver failed to gain. Hutchins
made 3 yards through tackle. West
brook made 5 yards around right
end. The half ended here with
Blakely in' possession of the ball in
the middle of the field.
Third Quarter: Dawson kicked off.
It was a short punt, returned 15
yards. Bush circled left end for 3
yards. Westbrook was thrown for a
loss. On the next play Blakely fum
bled, but Chas. Allen recovered for
a gain of 3 yards. Dawson inter
cepted a forward pass and made 20
yards. Dawson, however, was penal
ized 15 yards for holding. Dawson
U. D. C. MEETING.
———— •
Mrs. Vinson Tal)b, Mrs. Fitzhugh
Fulton and Mrs. S. I’. Holland were
! charming' hostesses last Friday as
!
ternoon in honor of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy.
The Holland home was beautifully
j adorned with fall flowers. Although
lit was November, the flowers were
as lovely ns in June. There were
no fires and the day was perfect.
At the business session, the bazar,
which will be held in about two
weeks on the fifth of December, was
enthusiastically discussed. It is
sincerely desired that every one will
contribute liberally to this, as the
U. D. C. scholarship fund must be
paid.
Following the business, an inter
esting paper was read by Mrs. Vin
son Tabb, followed by a splendid
talk by Mrs. C. M. Baggs. Then
Miss Louise Hudspeth gave a humor
ous reading. But the most enjoyed
of all were the readings given by
little Miss Mary Vernon Tabb, daugh
ter of one of the hostesses. She was
so dainty und exquisito. Being only
five years old, she had intended just
one reading, but she was so dear
and precious until the Chapter in
sisted on another, which she sweet
ly gave. She was indeed a lovely
little picture as she stood beside
her mother’s knee.
At conclusion of the program a
delicious salad course and iced tea
was Berved by the three charming!
hostesses.
