How we Stand in Basket-Ball
Boys’ Team
Fort Valley, 24; Cordele, 12.
Fort Valley, 42; Dawson, 16.
Fort Valley, 25; Shellman, 37.
Girls’ Team
Fort Valley, 12; Marshailville, 55.
In the hottest contested game of
basket-ball of this season the local
five defeated the strong and heavy
Dawson quintet Friday night on the
Dawson court. This was the first
time the local guintet has played on
a foreign court this season. They
left Fort Valley Friday at noon with
a determination and a line-up suita¬
ble to “blow up” most any team.
One of the players said,” We are go¬
ing to stick the monkey-wrench into
the machine Friday night and so com¬
pletely gum up the Dawson team
that they won’t have the heart to
trot out on another court.”
The game was well under way at
eight o’clock, the grand-stand being
filled to its capacity. A number of
stunts were featured in the game, and
the local five used their signals to a
perfection, it being only a matter of
fact that the team work of the local
five surpassed that of the Dawson
quintet. Only the guards and the aid
of the center kept the local five from
rolling up a higher score. The work
of the forwards showed that they
need practice, or it must have been
one of their “hard luck” games. How¬
ever, as the score would indicate, the
gan^e was no walk-away, as the Ter¬
rell County lads fought gamely and
deserve commendation for the cali¬
ber of playing that they displayed in
spite of the odds against which they
were playing. The principal cause of
he defeat of the strong Dawson out¬
fit was the playing of Albert Evans
This man scored 17 points, which
alone was almost sufficient to defeat
the Dawson five. Twelve points were
made by the free pass route and he
was accredited with five field goals.
Capt. Wilson played a consistent
game at the guard position for Fori
Valley and his work was a strong
■ontribution to the defeat of the op¬
ponents. Turner, Jordan and Edwards
played stellar ball for the Dawson
quintet, Jordan working the floor in
rood style, while Turner and Ed
wards were left to do the shooting.
Playing a team superior in every
department of the game the local five
heralded as the best that has repre¬
sented the local institution in many
.ears, succumbed to the onslaught
of the Shellman champions of the
South Georgia prep school circles, the
local team losing 25 to 37. However,
as the score would indicate the game
was not a walk-away as the Peach
County lads fought gamely and de¬
serve great commendation for the
■great spirit of playing that they dis¬
played in spite of the odds against
which they were playing. The local
five never lost their spirit, but
fought the Shellman players for every
inch of the ground. It was just a
question of how many points Shell
man could pile up on the local lads
after the first quarter. The Shellman
aggregation out weighted the Fort
Valley players from 10 to 20 pounds
to the man. In science and speed the
local five had Shellman surpassed.
Fort Valley scored in last quarter by
the quick work of Robert Brown by
a good field goal. Murray also raised
the score , while others who deserve
are Albert Evans and Wilson
in bringing up the score for Fort Val-1
!ey. For Shellman the playing of
Watts was the best, and Crittendon
was the best who could drop the pill ;
in t gehaol
The game of basket-ball that was
to be played on the local court Dec
ember first between Fort Valley and
Marshailville was postponed on ac
of a death that occurred in j
on that date. The game
was well advertised and a large
crowd was expected. The court was
drawn off and every thing was set
for the game to begin; when thirty
minutes before the game was to be¬
gin a message came that the Marshall
ville players could not come.

The Apparel oft Proclaims the
Man; why not let us tailor your
Printing to your measure.
A Business Reputation is not a thing that can
he achieved in a day. It must be built up step by
step through many years, and many things enter into
its fabrication. As the harmonious beauty of a work
of architecture depends upon fidelity to many
small details, so does a man’s Business Reputation.
He who is careless about the little thingseannot hope
for much in the completed structure.
One of the small details that contribute to a
man’s Business Reputation is his Printing. Are you
careful to have this detail RIGHT, or are you satis¬
fied to stake your Business Reputation on just any
kind of printing? There are people who know good
printing and vs ho measure the-man they are dealing
with at a distance largely by his printed stationery.
Are you willing to be judged by yours?
We have men in our shop who know how to
produce printing that is RIGHT; who know the
business, not merely as a trade, but the ART and
SCIENCE of it as well.
Let them turnish this detail in the building of
your Business Reputation.
