North Clayton’s Eagles carried
the banner of the county high
today as the only one of the Big
Three with an unsullied record.
A fourth-period touchdown and
point-after achieved through the
mud with a slippery football
gave the Max Dowis boys a 13-6

on the Eagle’s field.
The game was shifted a few
blocks from the College Park
gridiron because of ground con

Jonesboro High, victor over
Henry County in its opener, dip

score.
W. A. Fountain High kept the
colored banner flying by taking
Hamilton High Hornets on the
latters’ field, 13-6, for its second
straight triumph.
The North Clayton victory was
achieved with no great ease. In
