AMERICUS GIRLS
WIN CLOSE GAME
Goal in Last Few Min
utes Saves Threat
ened Defeat
After having apaprently lost
the game in the second half
the Americus high girls' basketball
team Friday night staged a great
come-back and won from the Una->
diHa High girls by a narrow margin
of one point, 13 to 12. The gam"
was fast and well played from the
start to finish, the closeness of the
score keeping the spectators in the
greatest of excitement.
The game started promptly at 8
o’clock with only a small crowd pres
ent. Americus got the first goal of
this half, Georgia Lumpkin parking
one within a few minutes. After a
few minutes of fast play a foul was
called on Americus and Unadilla got
one point via the free throw route.
Americus got another field goal and
a foul before the end of the half,
Georgia Lumpkin making both of
them. Unadilla secured another foul
goal and two fields, both her for
wards getting one apiece. The half
ended with the score 6 and 5 in Una
dilla’s favor.
In the last half hte Unadilla girls
ran away with the locals until the
last few minutes. Soon after the ball
was placed in play thew rang up a
two-pointer, which followed by an
other a few minutes later. Americus
got another point through a fouh
Unadilla then got a field goal. Am
ericus seemed to be hoodooed on the
goal shots during this half, both for
wards making numerous good shots
only to have the ball bound out of
the basket. The Unadilla girls were
trying to hold the Americus girls un
til the end of the game when in the
last few they found the basket. Marie
Bell secured a foul and rang one
field goal and Georgia Lumpkin got
a two-pointer, running tho score up
to 12 and 11 in favor of Unadilla.
With only one more field goal the
Americus team would win. The Una
dilla girls tried in vain to keep the
ball put of Americus’ territory for
the last few minutes but just before
the final whistle blew Georgia Lump
kin rang a difficult one winning for
Americus.
This is the first gamp lost by the
Unadilla girls, they having defeat
ed every team this year, except one,
whom they tied. The Americus girls
have one of the strongest teams the
local High school has had in several
years. They have played seven games
this season out of which they have
lost three. Two of these were played
on an outdoor court. They have de
feated the strong Columbus High
which generally turns out one of the
best teams in the state, and have
also won one and lost one to the Al
bany girls. This is a fine record, all
teams played having been top-notch
ers.
Lineups Friday night—Americus,
Georgia Lumpkin and Marie Bell,
forwards; Frances Sparks and Eliza
beth Sheffield, centers; Julia and
Minerva Allison, guards.
Unadilla—Ruth Collins and Leila
Crimpie, forwards; Maggie Patti
shall and Winnie King, centers; Neu
bie Vinson and Johnnie Mae Crimpie,
guards.
The next game of the Americus
girls will be with Columbus in Co
lumbus and will be played next Fri
day.
Saturday night the Americus Migh
boys’ five played their ancient ri
vals, the Albany High five, at the Sal
vation Army gym. The lineup used
for Americus in this game was Woot
en and Perkins, forwards; Glover,
center; Fetner and H'ammond,
guards.
CORDELE GUARD TO
PLAY HERE TUESDAY.
The next game to be played in
Americus will, be between the Am
ericus Athletic association and the
Cordele National Guard five Tues-;
day night at the Salvation Army gym.
The Cordele* boys have one of the
strongest teams seen on an Ameri
cus floor this year, having defeated
all teams they have- played by large
scores. The Americus five is a strong
bunch and with the addition of a few
new players to the squad in the last
two weeks will have on the-floor one
of the strongest fives Americus has
had in fecent years.

Saved My Life
With Eatonic
Says New Jersey Woman
“I was nearly dead until I found
Eatonic and I can truly say it saved
my life. It is the best stomach
medicine ever made,” writes Mrs.
Ella Smith.
Acid stomach causes awful misery
which Eatonic quickly gets rid of
by taking up and carrying out the
acidity and gases which prevent good
digestion. A tablet taken after meals
brings quick relief. Keeps the stom
ach healthy and helps to prevent tho
many ills so liable to arise from ex
cess acid. Don’t suffer from stomach j*
