OUT ON A—
LIMB
by Bo McLeod
Wish this weather would
make up its mind. Can’t tell
when to stop complaining a
bout the heat and start fuss
ing about how cold ’tis-
—O—
Those Nat’l league teams
are making a mess of things.
I’ll be glad when they decide
to decide the winner of the
pennant and the right to lose
to the Yankees in the Series.
—O—
This afternoon at 1:35, in
the high school stadium, his
tory will happen, when a foot
ball team composed of D’ville
lads will win a game. This is
because the elementary school
midget teams will be playings
Unless there’s a scoreless tie,
heaven forbid.
The Republicans have a
“truth squad” in action, or so
they call it. It’ll be interesting
to see how much “truth” they
can find to work with.
n—
I believe I’ve found an easy
solution to all so-called “rac
ial’ troubles. Simply move the
imaginary line that divides
North and South to a point
near the equator. This would
make the present Southland
part of the great North, and
we could qualify for the chari
ty that keeps troubles that
happen up North (the present
one. that is) from being
racial, but automatically puts
that label on everything that
takes place down here.
They have riots up there,
between negro and white, but
“race” has nothing to do with
it. They attack and kill and
rob one another, but the is
sue is never of race.
Simply moving the bound
aries further in a southerly
direction should cure every
thing.
Al Ronge says quickly now:
Miller 6, Seminole 6% ?
How’s that for precision!

REGION IB GAME AT 8:00
Indians go to Colquitt Friday night
THE SEMINOLE Indians will go to Colquitt Friday night,
for a region IB game with the Miller County Pirates at
8:00 o’clock.
The Seminole Marching In
dians of Director Robert
Strickland will accompany the
team.
Coach Denvard Snell has
made several changes in the
starting lineup for the Semin
oles, after studying the game
films of the Vienna and Ran
dolph meetings.
The films showed the In
dians needed blocking prac
tice and that’s what they’ve
emphasized this week, Snell
said.
Coach Snell says he will
take only 19 players to Col
quitt because several of his
lads played when the Indian
B lost to Miller’s B’s Monday
in Colquitt, 12-7.
The changes include the
moving of Tommy Cowan to
left guard, Ralph Williams to
center, Augie Clayton to right
guard, Don Butler to right
end, and Luke Spooner to his
old post at right tackle.
Butler joined the team re
cently and is expectd to help
the Seminole cause. Spooner
started the season at fullback,
was switched to guard, now
he goes back to the spot he
held for two seasons.
Same Backfield
The same backfield of Paul
Brimlow at fullback, Bruce
Baker, quarterback, and Jack
Ivey and Mike Bowen, half
backs, will be used against
Miller.
The Indians have lost two,
to Blakely and Randolph, and
they played to a tie in Vienna.
The Pirates are winless and
have scored only one touch
down. They lost to Cuthbert
14-0 in a driving rain, Turner
County 26-6, and Terrell of
Dawson beat them last vreek,
39-0.
The Pirates lost their main
offensive player when Olin

Mock suffered a broken leg.
The remaining Pirates are
little but fast, and those who
have seen them in action say
they play a determined, effici
ent game. Last year the Pir
ates whippd the Indians 7-6.
