POINT OF VIEW
._— By JACK TROY —_—
Eagles, Team of Great Desire,
Face Another Hurdle Friday
North Clayton Eagles, a team of great desire, put an unbeaten
season on the line in the region 2-AA championship game Friday
night against Wayne County of Jesup at the College Park field
where, last week, the Eagles clawed Headland in a title game.
T and flanker.” He added that Sylvan and Newman were about
as big, however, and North Clayton handled them.
“Our backs are probably quicker, and we, of course, have good
quarterbacking too. It should be a most interesting game. We’ll
be out there to win.”
North Clayton is having its greatest year, has one of the
greatest football records ever compiled by any team in Clayton
County, and a win Friday night will send them headlong into
* competition with either Rossville or Elbert County for the region
2-AA state championship. These teams settle their differences
Friday night, too.
The Eagles have gone too far now to be stopped by any South
Georgia outfit like Wayne County.
Tonic for the Doc
The Master of the Hounds was hard to get along with in the
early part of last week.
George Christian, in fact, was downright disconsolate. He
was at work in spirit, but his thoughts were far away. There was
a big Southeastern Fox hunt going on in Camden. South Carolina,
and that’s where the disembodied spirit of George Christian
really was.
When we walked out in back of the store to find him, he
was busily engaged in sweeping out his fox hound wagon. “How
are you feeling, George?”
He kept on sweeping sort of absent-mindedly, and then he
replied: “To tell you the truth, I am trying to act so miserable
that they'll (his pharmacy people) run me off.”
It must have worked, for George’s fox hound wagon was
missing from its customary spot on the side of the Pharmacy the
very next day. And, sure enough, he had taken off for Camden
and the outdoor love of his life, the Fox Hound trials.
George is an expert in trials, a great judge, Master of the
Hounds at big trials, and all that. But this time he was simply
there to enjoy himself at an exhilarating outdoor event.
When he returned to Forest Park over the week-end, he
looked like a man who had taken a large dose of vitamins. He
had a happy look on his face and a look of contentment un
matched by Elsie the Borden Cow.
Not so long ago OF George thought he was missing some
petty cash, so he set a trap in the cash register—a small mouse
trap. And who did he catch? You guessed it!

Wayne County overpowered Cairo last
Friday night, being held fairly even until
the latter stages when, with superior
weight and drive, they wore out their foes,
20 to 0.
The scouting report from North Clay
ton indicates that in Richardson, the
Wayne County invaders will have a junior
Lothridge. Principal Cliff England, who
saw Cairo clobbered, ventured the opinion
that “Richardson is the best High School
quarterback I've seen in a long time. He’s
a good passer, kicker and runner and kicks
extra points and field goals.”
“They’re big boys,” Cliff said. “They’ll
probably outweigh our line about 15 pounds
to the man. They have four tackles as big
as anybody we’ve got, big guards and tall
ends. They use power, employing the slot
man in connection with the
armed robbery of a downtown
Atlanta loan firm two weeks
ago.
The man, married and the
father of two children, lived in
Sweetbriar Subdivision. He was
identified by Robbery Squad

Eagles Bidding for
State Title Game
Winner At College Park Takes
On Rossville Or Elbert County
The Eagles of North Clayton had little time this week
to enjoy the spoils of the 2-AA Championship taken last
Friday night at the expense of Headland High School, as
they prepared for the most serious threat to their un
blemished season mark of 11 wins and no losses and no ties.
For the Eagles have the un
pleasant task of facing the
number one team in AA com
petition, namely Wayne County
High School of Jesup. The game
will be played on neutral ground
in College Park on Friday night.
Kick-off time is 8 p.m. The
battle will decide the South
Georgia Championship.
The Wayne County Yellow
Jackets have loomed all season
as the odds on favorite to win
the state and have lived up to
these expectations. Wayne Coun
