job well. Subs, we salute you foi
your fine work.
It was my pleasure to attend the
Mansfield-Livingston game in Li
thoma of Friday night. After get
ting over the disappointment of
having a set of dead batteries on
my hands and a broken wire in the
flash unit, I settled down to watch
one of the best girls games that
1 have ever seen. Livingston put
up a good fight and credit should
be given Bowden, English and
Moss for the repeated attempts to
go ahead Also credit should be
given to the two Curtis sisters and
Thomas for the way they held
these girls down. Time after time
we was Mansfield shoot and make
two points. The three forwards,
Gassaway, Harwell and Patrick,
were on their game and worked
together to bring home the baeen
for Mansfield. Mrs. J. B. Spears
has really worked these girls to
the point where they are almost
perfect in their timing and shoot
ing. Again I was surprised to come
home from Columbus about one
o clock on Sunday night and find
that these girls had won again. I
wanted to go to the game but cir
cumstances prevented it.
Saturday the Porterdaie athletic
teams really took over Columbus
and won six out of eight events.
The high school teams walked off
with two titles and the Athletic
girls won their nnal game. The
Athletic boys were defeated by the
Macon boys by a 40 to 28 count,
Coach Ralph Thornton, who had
only played Ping Pong for the fun
of it, turned around and upset Mr.
A. A. Drake to win the title,
Thornton is Porterd%'e’s six foot,
two hundred pound ping pong
man. Maybe he just scared Mr.
Drake into a victory. Mayba Bon
ner won the girls half of the
ping pong. Bonner hadn't had a
ping pong racket in her hand for
about two years and she substitut
ed and won the champainship. The
golfers also won their title by a
11 to 3 count. Johnny Andrews.
Burt Hewell, Shinny Gates and
Vally Parr are the men who kept
the golf championship at Porter
dale. Porterdaie only lost one of
her titles and brought two new
ones home so that isn’t so bad.
Newton county has really showed
up this week. Keep up the good
work and Newton county will be
J among the leaders in Georgia,
We want to wish the Mansfield
! teams the best o filuctnkhebb
teams the best of luck in the
championships in Athens. The boys
; play this week and the girls play
next week.
We would appreciate any coun
ty sports news for this column.
, Just address your letters to Don
Brumbaugh; Fame and ’41 Col
umn, Porterdaie Georgia.
Note: We want to express our
regrets that we made some mis
takes in our write ups last week.
Several persons have brought this
k> m y mind and I am sorry that
it happened. Don Brumbaugh.
