FIRST ON GRID
Mxcob Eleven Hire on September
3Ml. Stroof Team to Mee : tke
Cideti. Herd Game Expected.
Coach Jake Zellars and his Lanier
Hi School eleven invade Davenport
field Friday. September 30th, as the
opening opponents for Slap Rents'
red and black huskiew in the 1927
football schedule.
The consequence of the first game
of the season will probably have di
rect bearing on the G. L A. A.
and aside from this fact two of the
bitterest rivals in prep circles will
meet, which is the making of a real
prep classic.
Coach Rentz, instituting this yea>
the Wallace Wade system at tht
school, hns put his men through at
unusually hard training grind. The
material mostly inexperienced ha:
been drilled in the new methods of
tackling and blocking, which is the
foundation of the Wade system.
The eleven this year will be built
with two dangerous hackfields, one
u heavy hard charging quartette and
the other fast and alert, both having
two tripple threat men to rely upon.
The prospects this year look very
bright especially in the secondary
defense.
Cantrell, CapL Patterson, Moran,
Tunnell, Fat Smith and Leighton
Moore arc the nucleous around which
Slap Rentz is building hiy machine.
Many new men, which are showing
great promise will fill the vacancies
from last season.
The Macon team returns practical
ly the same eleven us last year and
this insures a dangerous foe. They
are fast, shifty and smart and will
give any team trouble.
A special drive is being made to
bring the opening game attendance
to the largest in the history of the
school and all citizens are being re
quested to be at Davenport field for
the first battle of the year.
»v. J. F. Yarbrough, pastor ofi
the Methodist church, preached two |
strong sermons the past Sunday. The
subject of his morning discourse
was “Covetousnean” He pointed out
the substileness of this sin, which
was warned against in a number of
places in the Bible; how it would de-
itroy the finer sensibilities, and make
i man become selfish, and wreck the
happiness of families. Covetousness
would take possession of the heart
of the poor man as well an the rich
if allowed an entrance into the life.
At the evening service the subject
of his sermon was the violation of
the Sabbath day. He said that re
ports were coming to him that the
Sabbath day was being flagrantly
violated in MilledgeviUe. That stores
were opened and that mechandise
was sold, that should not be sold on
the Sabbath day. It was a violation
of the Sabbath to buy as well as sell.
It was against the laws of the state
of Georgia for certain occupations
to bo carried on on the Sabbath, and
it was the duty of the officers of
the law to see that the law wan en
forced. He said that the command
ment to remember the Sabbath was
as much in force now as when it was
written upon hte tablets of stone,
and that God still reigned, and its
violation would bring punishment.
He referred to the fact that the ga
rages were kept open Sunday repair
ing automobiles, the majority of
which were no doubt, owned by mem
bers! of the various churches.
The breaking down of the obser
vance of the Sabbath day would go
along way towards destroying the
Christian religion. In concluding he
urged his hearers to stand firmly
against the violation of the Snbbath
day.
