Try Our Job Printing VOL 65; NO. 39 INDIANS HOST TO McHENRY; TRION GOES TO CALHOUN BY T. EMMETT NUNN The Summerville Indians will open their football season at 8 p. m. Friday against McHen ry, of Rome. Brooke Pierce has been put ting his squad through a rigid training schedule for the past few weeks, and a good season is anticipated. The Indians’ grid schedule follows: Sept. 23, LaFayette; Sept. 30, Lakeview, there; Oct. 7, Carrollton, there; Oct. 14, Chattanooga Valley; Oct. 21, Cartersville, there; Oct. 28, Model; Nov. 4, Lee High; Nov. 11, Sylvania, Ala., there; Trion (at Summerville). Sufficient bleachers are being added to the field to accomo date 1,200 fans. With kickoff time at 8 o’clock, Coach Brooke Pierce is expect ing his hands full, as the Car dinals are after revenge for a 13 to 12 setback, the Indians handled them in a mud battle last fall. McHenry has lost their main offensive threats In Billy Carver and Gene Lambert, but still ex pect to have a fair running game, and not too good a pass ing threat. Also, they are a week less on practice, which should help the S. H. S. cause. Joe Dacus. Bobby Bush, Gene Woodall and Bob Pettit, will probably be Coach Pierce’s starting offensive backfields, with paiph Stanley, Billy Flannagan and Bob Moore the most experienced on the front line. Backing up the three most experienced, Billy Donovits, Billy Moorehead and two sopho more ends, Leslie Mathis and Winford Hardeman round out what will probably be the start ing lineup. Trion’s football ambitions, at the pinnacle of hope since the last of the good seasons way back in ’44 will open the 1949 campaign under the lights of Calhoun High. Smiles are very much in or der, as twelve lettermen with 10 of the 194 c- starting lineup, probably facing the barrier at kickoff time. Besides this host of “T” wear ers. a better, more experienced, and larger in numbers group of youngsters coming up from the “B” outfit, and midgets give the regular lineup more com petition, that should show up under fire to a good advantage A possible drawback will be the change to the “T” forma tion which will be entirely new to the boys, due to the change this fall, but after a few games, the kinks should straighten, and a smooth Bulldog machine begin high class operations. Calhoun’s '‘Yellowjackets” however, will have different ideas for the Blues and will be out to sting hard in retaliation for their No. 1 loss of last fall, that started a different trend in their schedule, victorious un til that night. That was the first time Ken neth Moore, the State’s leading scorer for ’4B. was stopped and those memories are foremast with the Yellowjackets. Under new coach. Jerry Tillttski, it will be a well conditioned squad as all University of Georgia products firmly believe in. due to the Wally Butts’ training. -HERE ’N THERE- Three men from this coun ty enlisted in the U.

B. Ham mond, County Polio Director of the National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis. The Drive, announced by Basil O'Conner, National Foundation President is being held as a last ■ resort because “in no other way can the National Foundation continue to aid increased num bers of polio patients without slowing up scientific research and professional education,” he said. It is the first emergency drive in the history of the fight against polio in the United States. “All of us are deeply touched by the pathetic plight of those afflicted with this cruel disease,” Mr. Hammond said. “In Georgia we have seen polio strike, claim ing 110 of the children and adults in our own State to date. We have been alert to the signs of danger, secure in the protec tion of March of Dimes funds, guaranteeing that no one would be deprived of the best available medical care for lack of money. “But today that security is shaken —by a financial crisis. The high cost of polio through out the nation has depleted the epidemic aid resources of the National Foundation. But it hasn’t exhausted the sympathy and generosity of the American people. No one of us would con demn any child to a life of pro longed suffering —for lack of money to pay the bills for his medical treatment and care. We’ll get the money—and give it, to help our children walk again.” Contributions are needed— quickly, Mr. Hammond empha sized. We shall try to reach everyone personally in the short week alloted for this emergency drive,” he said. Money may be sent in enve lopes addressed to POLIO care of A. B. Hammond. Berryton.

All vet etans should belong to some ■ veterans organization. Modesty , prevents us from saying that ! the Legion Js the best organiza tion in the w’orld, but we are [ the largest. We have the great est voice that has ever been heard in Washington. When our representatives sneak. they speak for 3000.000 veterans.” The Legion is working at all i times to make and keep this country a great and free na ♦ion. the local commander con tinued. urging all veterans to join he American Legion Now and do their part in this great work.
