CAMILLA PUT UP GOOD FIGHT
BUT WAS OVERPOWERED
BY DAWSON ALL STARS. |
; Friday afternoon’ Coach Morgan
{and the Dawson team journeyed down
im Camilla, and came back victorious
| with a score of 32 to 0.
Forward passes and line bucks feat
ured the greater part of the game.
The dominating feature of the contest
was the remarkable playing of Whit
' Tedder, who seemed to get loose from
;"Cmnilla in spite of all they could do.
i In the first quarter Dawson kicked
off to Camilla, but Camilla was forced
to return the ball. The Dawson team,
however, was not at their best, and the
Camilla squad received the ball. They
were unable to gain and returned the
‘ball. Steady gains were being made
by the team when the quarter was
called. ° |
~ In the second quarter Dawson on
‘the fourth down lost the ball on a
‘pass. Camilla, unable to go the 10-
yards, was forced to give the bulll
‘back to Dawson. Dawson made I'Jl‘
yard on first down and Owens, by 'a
fake play, made a 60-yard run for a
touchdown. The pass lu"g incom
;p!ctc made the score 6 to 0. .
~ The Dawson boys went back into
the field in the third quarter murc'dc-l
termined to raise the score. Kicking
off to Camilla they got the ball. Sub-l
stantial gains tvere made by Bridges,‘
Owens and Edwards. Bridges then
carried the ball over by a line buck.'
The pass from Bridges to Tedder be
ing complete raised the score to 131
to 0.
Dawson kicked off to Camilla, and
they were forced to punt, which was
received by Edwards. Tedder showed
his “stuff” and run for a 20-yard gain.
Then not to be satisfied, he carried
the ball over. The pass incomplete left‘
the score 19 to 0.
Camilla received Dawson’s kick off
and was forced to punt. Substantial
gains were made by Owens and
Bridges. Again Tedder, after receiv
ing a pass, dashed for a touchdown.
By pass Bridges to Tedder the score
was raised, 26 to 0. |
In the fourth quarter the ball hav
ing been swapped several times lands
safely back in Dawson’s hands. Ted
der starred again with a 40Qzyard run,
and Bridges carried the baldver. The
final score was 32 to 0, the pass be
ing incomplete.
Dawson will go to Cordele next
Friday. All cars offered to take the
players will be appreciated. Please see

cadences, states The Mentor. In the

the ideal time for their sonorous reac- |

[ The phenomenon of “singing sands”
ihas been discovered on various beach
‘vs of England and Wales. On the Isle

snowy land, near the cliffs of sand
stone, “has this strange musical quali

The sound ceases a hundred feet
from the last lap of the waves. Thor

New Hampshire, southeast of the vil
lage of Manchester. He said the sound
resembled the rubbing of a finger on
wet glass,
For the last fifty years scientists
have diligentiy studied the causes at
work behind the phenomenon. One in
vestigator’s explanation is that certain
sandy stretches are bathed in waters
‘mntaining various salts, including
calc¢ium and magnesium bicarbonates.
~ When the water dries the grains are
coatéd with a film of salt, which under
friction produces a sound comparable
to the action of rosin on the bow of
a violin. |
Dr. H. Carrington DBolton believes
that thin pellicles or films of air or
gases, condensed upon the surface of
the grains during the gradual evap
oration after a wetting, act as elastic
cushions separating the grains. These
cushions are capable of considerable:
vibration and volume of sound, pro
duced after any quick disturbance of
the sand. |
