Oct. 24. 1946 The Perry-Scope T sf pffilKT Panthers Deleai Aztecs, 25 to 14 By EARL WHIPPLE Perrv High opened their 1946- 47 basketball season here Friday night before a crowd that filled the gymnasium almost to capaci ty, defeating the Montezuma Az tecs, 25 to 14 Although th e| score was never very close, the ball game was fast and hard fought from beginning to end. Montezuma was handicapped by the lack of the services of He Vaughn, all-state guard from last year’s championship aggre gation. who was absent from the playing floor because of a sprain ed ankle. Clinton Cooper an d Deryle Whipple received scoring honors for the night, accounting for 12 and 9 points respectively. Billy Bledsoe was outstanding in re covering the ball from the back hoard tor Perry. For Montezu ma, Souter, the center, led in scoring with 6 points. Perry Bees Win In a preliminary “B” game, Perry handed Montezuma’s sec ond stringers a 37-6 defeat. In this contest, Seabie Hickson was! high-point man with 8 points, | followed closely by Lubber Ki jey, with 7. In the big game, the lineups were: Perry (25) Pos. Montezuma (14) Cooper 12 F K Inman 0 Whipple 9 F Batton 2 Watts 0 C Souter 6 Thompson 2 G Deal 2 edsoe 2 G Easterlin 2 Substitutes: Perry, Calhoun, Matthews, Gray, Riley, Hickson* Peyton.

His trip was made possible by the help of the Farm Bureau and the Perry Club. The trip will last for one week, his r ;turn being expected on October 26. The highlights of the Literary Athletic program are the close race for first place between the Bulldogs and the Lions and the debates which will begin Friday with a contest between the Bull dogs and Wolves. The subject of th e coming debate is, “ That every able bodied citizen of the Urjited States should have one year of full-time military train ing before attaining the age of 54.” Friday night Perry tangles with the Green Wave of Fort Valley in their first out of-town game of the year and the first | between these two ancient rivals. Fort Valiev has suffered severe ' losses from the team which Berry upset in the finale of the 1 tournament last year, but they have a reputation of producing a fast and hard fighting ball i team. i Tuesday night Berry returns | to the home court in what pro mises to he one of the best games of this season, when they meet the formidable five from Cochran, which in the last few years has always given the Ban thers a close contest, o r vice versa.

I B » J a im M 1 Scoop the Snoop Snooping ha? really • been one terriffic headache for Scoop this weekend. With the opening of] basketball season and the Hal- j lowe’en Carnival, excitement has j reached its peak in old P H. 3. However, none of the excite ment seems to have touched C, ; Cooper as he will sleep in church, | even if the sermon'is on being, alert. So, finding nothing lively here, we leave Clint to snore on | in peace. Scoop just can’t ignore Billy (Gray, who floats around on the clouds with stars in his eyes. And we don't pretend to knew the reason why. Evelyn must have Billy C. un der the influence of that Gilbert charm. He even carries her books home for her. Who is !t that gets in trouble I every day during 4th period for looking in the Physics room? ‘Hoss,” can’t you answer that.

W. seems to be mak ing the most progress. So Rbett and Betty G. enjoyed their Saturday date. Are there more to follow. Rhett?

Campaign Against Cattle TB Solves Beef Tonnage When the campaign to clear cat tle tuberculosis from the farms of j this country started 25 years ago, most emphasis was placed on pro- j viding a safe milk supply, reports i the department of agriculture. Now, it appears the fight against cattle tuberculosis has not only protected the milk supply, but has saved a | vast amount of beef as well. Today, this savings in beef runs; at a rate of nearly 40,000 head of i 1 cattle or about 16,000,000 pounds of | beef a year, the department offi ! cials estimate. Of about 14,500,000 j cattle carcasses federally inspected } during the last fiscal year, less than I 1 out of 10,000 was seriously af j fected with cattle tuberculosis, i Twenty-five years ago, they report, I 30 times as many carcasses were ! condemned for tuberculosis. | Though remarkable progress has been made in freeing the cattle herds of this country of tuberculosis, some unsuspected centers of infec tion turn up continually. Meat in spection and livestock shipping rec-1 ords help in tracing tuberculosis! cattle to their home premises and clearing out the infection. Depart ment officials urge retesting herds from time to time to detect any new herd infection early, and hasten the complete eradication of cattle tuberculosis. Darning Tips When darning, use a fine needle and short thread, as long thread polled back and forth across a tear or hole tends to stretch the darn out of shape. Darn on the right side, but steam press the finished darn on the wrong side, then brush the right side to lift the nap. | DR. R. T. LEITER CHIROPRACTOR , 620 Persons Bldg. | MACON, GA.
