PAGE TWO NORTH GEORGIA TRIBUNE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26. 1941 Greenies Return Victorious From South Georgia Games Hogansville, Baxley and Adel Go Down in Defeat BY R. D. OWEN Canton High boys’ basketball team swept all opposition aside on their trek to South Georgia last week-end. They defeated Hog ansville High 24 to 23 Thursday night; Baxley High 46 to 18 Fri day night, and Adel High 19 to 16 Saturday night. The game with Hogansville High was a thriller from start to finish. Both teams were about evenly matched and Hogansville had not been defeated in three years on their home court—neith- er team had been defeated when Hunt With Care During Holidays, Cravey Cautions ► the two teams met. The first quarter ended in an 8 to 8 tie and Hogansville held a 16 to 14 lead at the half. The Greenies came back the third quarter to take a three-point lead which they main- tained through the fourth quarter. Hogansville managed to loop a field goal in the last minute of play to come within one point of the Greenies, but it was not enough and their undefeated rec ord must start all over again. Howard and Dunn led the scor ing attack for the Greenies, while Denny was invincible and high point man for the Hogansville team. The play of Jack Fowler, who substituted for Allen Hardin, was one of the features of the game. Hardin fouled out early in the game. Fowler took his place and played exceptionally good on defense as well as offense and showed ability that will add much to the strength of the team in their games after the holidays. In a preliminary game Canton High girls swamped the Hogans ville girls by a score of 46 to 14. Vaughn and Pinyan led the at tack with 30 and 11 points re spectively. Coach Carroll sent in all his substitutes the last quar ter with his team holding a 36 to 9 lead. After the Baxley game Greenie boys were given a side trip to Brunswick to see the ocean. They returned home Sunday afternoon from Adel. . Keep the holidays free of hunt ing accidents—that’s the plea of the Wildlife Division. Director Zack D. Cravey said the heaviest hunting of the year will be done between Christmas and New Years, if the annual record repeats itself. And, unless hunt ers use extreme caution in hand ling firearms, “tragic accidents will make this an occasion of sadness for many families.” "There is too much destruction and death in the war-torn world already without letting careless ness in one of our favorite sports cause any more of it,” said the Di rector. First of all rules, he said, is to treat every gun as though it were loaded and to remember that “al cohol and gunpowder do not mix.” The Director also urged hunters and fishermen not to start fires, intentionally or through careless- ness, in woods. With defense pre- parations making such heavy de mands on the forests, “our need to protect them is even greater than ever,” he declared. Although Director Cravey has placed himself and his entire per- sonnel at the disposal of the gov- ernment for any defense work, Rangers have not slackened their patrol duties. Moreover, they will be in the field constantly during the holidays, checking on licenses and game regulations. Even though the sale of licenses has slowed down somewhat in the past couple of weeks, it continues steady enough to indicate that guns and dogs are giving Geor- gians some relief from war wor- ries, he said. —Remember Pearl Zarbor— Canton (46) Pinyan, 11 Harbin, 2 Vaughn, 30 Cagle Richards Hendrix GIRLS Hogansville (14) Webb, 12 Denny, 2 Hubbard Hill Argo Green State Employees To Be Ready For Emergency Calls Subs.: Canton—Whitfield, Bol ing, 2, Ray, 1, Pugh, Reece; Hog ansville—Crauston, Hodnett, Dills, Anis, Bowling. —Remember Pearl Harbor— Chalcedonia Wins At Holly Springs Chalcedonia defeated Holly Springs in a close game Wednes day night with McFarland of Chal cedonia leading the scoring with 16 points.

Governor Talmadge informed de partment and division heads of the state this week that all key em- ployees were expected to remain at the vacation addresses they indicated before leaving work Christmas Eve, and were to be ready for call on a moment's no- tice in the event of an emergen cy. In granting a three-day Christ- mas holiday, the Governor said that the extra day was in view of the fact that this might be the last opportunity for an old-fash ioned Christmas for many years. —Remember Pearl Harbor— H.

Seems the old duck got redheaded about something and took the other way. GOOD MORNING, MOTHER You never know when a sur- prise awaits you—especially if you are a lady bear. Bear cubs have a way of catching mama bear napping. The stork of the bear world always arrives in the middle of winter when all decent lady bears are hibernating. No wonder a mother bear is "sore- headed" when she comes out of her den in the spring. You would be, too, perhaps, if you woke up and found twins or triplets to greet you. DEER FIGHT Four hunters had an interesting story to tell about a fight between two bucks which occurred just before the deer season opened. The fight had been going on quite a while before the party came up- on them. They had dragged each other through a barbed-wire fence, torn down two oak posts and were fighting in a dried - up slough. Their horns were locked and the younger buck was winning the fight, having forced his elder adversary to the ground. One of the hunters took careful aim with his rifle, and with an expert shot severed the horn of the victor, who immediately bounded over a hill, narrowly missing one of the spectators. The other buck rested for a few minutes, then rose and charged the men, who beat a hasty re- treat. The buck next charged the car and nearly knocked himself cock-eyed. After that he settled down in the weeds to recuperate, finally getting up once more and leaving the scene. wouldn't be caught dead wear- ing than write this thing but as Casey Jones said wnen he mounted to the cabin, “Orders is orders." This column will be all about football coaches, their manner- isms, methods and habits of feeding. If you think colleges hire foot- ball coaches for their coaching ability nowadays, you should still be gaping at the Floradora Sex- tet, brother. The modern coach's greatest as- set is his driving ability. At the end of a football season, a-hunt- ing the coach must go—for new backfield men and linemen. Today he must contact Quarter- back Pilsudski in Leaping Hollow, S. C. By tomorrow night he must be signing Right Tackle Hubber- blowski in Trotslow, Pennsylvania. The coach travels light and fast and five extra units of horsepower tonight may mean seven points next football season. The sound of a 16-cylinder car roaring through a country town late in the night is a familiar sound in most American hamlets today and the sleepy residents nod knowingly and say "Thar goes Coach Soandso to see the Hooten boy o'er in the next coun ty.” Many people who saw the pic- ture "They Drive by Night" thought it would be all about how football coaches recruit men. Any coach who can't make 500 miles in a night isn't worth his salt but the man who can make 600 miles will probably be direct- ing dear old Nuthouse Tech's destinies next season. And if you can make 700 miles, and only the best do it, you'll probably land one of the bowl bids The coach's mechanic ranks just under the line coach and just over the freshman mentor. Every cylinder must be kept humming and a busted spark plug may prove more costly than a busted rib next year. But to delve further into the football coach expose, there are the various football systems the mentors use. A long time ago, Alice, coaches just taught their men how to play football. The general idea was to get the ball over the opponent's goal line. Nowadays, we have all sorts of football systems. There is the Notre Dame system. Out of this came the inverted Notre Dame sys- tem, the triangular, rectan- gular, catch as catch can No- tre Dame system and others. Down in Texas, a coach uses the Hunchback of Notre Dame system. -Then Pop Warner invented the Warner system. Everybody went crazy over it. There’s the back ward Warner, the modified Warn er, the unmodified, unrehearsed and the Warner Brothers Motion Pictures system. Ossie Solen at Syracuse this season invented the Y system and had the spectators asking "Why?" and the opposing team asking "Who, what, when, where and how?" You hear about such-and- such a team using the Model T system and expect to see one of Henry Ford’s 1924 ba bies rolled out, but no. BETTER EGGS Good quality eggs bring the biggest returns to producers. A good market egg requires good production methods on the farm, good hauling methods during its journey to market, and speed in movement from the nest to the consumer. Incidentally, eggs are produced on about six million farms in the United States. —Remember Pearl Harbor CUTTING PORK There is no one best method for cutting a pork carcass. The choice depends on how the pork is to be used. If it is to be sold, the cuts should conform to local prefer- ence. If the meat is to be pre- served by freezing, each piece should be of a size and character suitable for convenient cooking. —Remember Pearl Harbor— It's very confusing. —Remember Pearl Harbor— THE CALL TO THE COLORS IS A CALL FOR DOLLARS!

But today, with so many in- dustries producing equipment for the Navy, the "E" has been awarded to a few factories, too. 1houghtful husbands everywhere are giving the practical electrical appliances that carry the age old Christmas greeting right through the years to come. They're choosing electric toast- ers, coffee makers and waffle irons to give busy women an extra pair of hands during the hectic pre- breakfast scramble. They're giving electric roasters that cook a whole meal, or a holiday turkey auto- matically. They're giving electric mixers that perform arm-tiring beating, whipping, squeezing tasks effortlessly. Best of all, these practical gifts are the easiest of all to choose. Just drop in at your friendly dealer's show rooms and select them. You'll be amazed at how little they cost— at what convenient terms you can arrange. General Electric, where the award was made for speed in the pro- duction of naval ordnance.
