The second quarter was when Winder push ed tin* lone touehdowiw*across, an end run for twenty yards by I*. Hill and a series of line bucks by Harrison carried the oval across. l. Hill later kicking the goal. The rest of the game was as the first quarter being hard fought with both teams threatening to score several times. Winder’s team showisi better form than in any game hereto fore and the rooters that went down with the boys can vouch for that. Sheats at left end played a good game, in the fourth quarter he made a great run and recovered a punt and raced thirty yards living tackled ten yards from goal. E. Page his running mate was a real race horse and did some of the best tackling of the game. Car penter played his usual steady game at center always blocking his mun and snapping the bull in great style. Ar nold and Ralph Perry at guards were on the job hitting their men hard anil .driving them yards from play. Though his first game Leon Perry surprised his team mates by his quick dashos and played a great pari toward our victory. Fatty Jack Melton at tackle was fighting his old home town friends but friendship shared no sympathy just at this time for Ik* tried to see how hard lie could hit them. Robinson and Young at halves allowed good interfer ence and handled themselves in great style. Harrisifi, the hurt! plunging fullback was on the job when ever called upon, he played a remarkable game—he hits a line low and hard. P. Hill played his usuul good game, getting away for several good gains and he handled the team ill great style. W. Hill and Roberts, going ill at halves In the second half proved very valuable and upheld the work of their for mer mates. Winder meets the Madison Hlgh* school next Friday and a great battle is expected, for Madison is noted for world’s of speed, but watch our hoys stop them. WHAT IKIES NOVEMBER 11TH. MEAN TO YOU THIS YEAR?* it meant everything to you in the year of 11*18, when the boys (your boys) went over the top for the last .time and made this a safe and better .world for'you to live in. Then nothing was too good for them. Do you still think as much of the boys? Do you still give them a hand shake and tell them you are backing them up as you did then? What has Barrow county done for the hoys that guve the best they bad so that Barrow county might enjoy the peace that they are now 'en joying? Nothing absolutely nothing. Not so many weeks ago one of Bar roy county’s boys that had mode the su preme sacrifice was sent back to bio home for burial and a notice appearing in The Winder News that he was to be buried on a date fixed liy the boy’s mother, and would you be surprised to know that there was not enough of Winder ami Barrow county people at the undertaker’s office to bury this lad at the time set for his burial? The few boys that had fought with him bail to go out and beg and rent enough ears to carry I lie boy's mother and the family to the cemetery. Why can’t we get together and give the boys a big day on the 11th of No vember? Is-t’s everybody see what we can do to make the day one that will long be remembered in Winder and Barrow county.—A READER. VISITORS FROM SOCIAL CIRCLE.
