CORDELE FIVE
IS SWAMPED BY
AHERICUS HIGH
The Americus High school closed its
basket-ball season here Friday night,
with a fast and well played game with
Cordele Hi, willing by 53 to 20. The
Americus team started into the game
with a determination to wipe out old
scores with Cordele. MVSch feeling
existed among the students of the
Americus school because of the game
played in Cordele the previous Friday
and in which Cordele won, unfairly it
was claimed. The Americus five went
into the game and at the end of the
first quarter the score was 22 to 6
against Cordele. Gardner, Williams
and Webb starred for Americus in this
■ quarter, Gardner making may bril
liant plays, Hamilton and Smith were
the stars for Cordele five.
In the second half the Cordele team
produced a comeback and until the last
part of this quarter it looked as if
they would tie the score. But the
Americus team soon caught its stride
and at the end of the first half the
score stood 38 to 18 against Cordele.
In the third quarter of the last half
the home team did not let Cordele
score, but the Americus five kept up
their fast playing and soon had 7
points more to their credit, making a
total at the end of the quarter of 45 to
Cordele’s 18.
The last quarter started with Amer
icus rooters calling for a score of 50
points. This soon had been passed,
and Cordele had scored one lone goal,
her first in the last half. The game
score ended with a score of 53 to 20.
The line-up and score card is as
follows:

realizing that if the bonds are passed
here it will make their own similar
bond elections, which follow Sumter’s,
carry more easily, and should it fail,
might result in othe other elections
failing.
The traveling men were a unit for
the bonds and promised to work for
their passage from now until April
9. They signed pledge cards to vote
for the issue and carried cards with
them to distribute among the voters
