SHS After Best Basketball Season Ever;
Boys Average 47-31 in Nineteen Games
By T. Emmett Nunn
Many years have rolled by for;
the Indians of Summerville High
School, but none have ever
equalled or come close to piling,
up as impressive a record as thel
1949-50 edition of the Red and
Black.
Winning has been as regular
as clockwork with the fast mov- ,
ing, fancy shooting of the boys |
five and after a late start the ।
young ladies have clicked off 11
wins against 8 losses. It has been
up hill all the way for Miss Jo
Maret’s girls and only last week
did they finally over balance the
scales in their favor.
Down in Rome on Saturday
night a week and a half back
and as four first stringers rode
a hard sideline bench along with
ever-hard dying, Coach Garland
Pinholster, the G.I.AA. leader
threatening Rome High Hilltop
pers, broke a 49-49 deadlock and
in the last three minutes piled
up a 60 to 53 winning count over
the foul-riddled Indians.
One loss against 18 wins for
the newest entry into Georgia’s
Region 4 Class A basketball, and
a definite threat for tournament
and State honors.
Looking back on that record
and looking forward to the close ।
of the season as it comes up for
homefolks of Summerville on'
Friday night, it has indeed been |
a short one. To help close the
home season Friday, McHenry’s
hard-to-handle Cardinals will be ,
in Summerville and Saturday :
night to finish up, the boys and
girls take a trip to Lakeview for
the final fling at the Lakers.
In a quick look back over the
season here’s how some of the :
statistics might be recorded ,
through last Saturday and 19
games. Summerville boys won 18, ;
lost 1. Summerville girls won 11, |
lost 8. ;
Scores for these games as re- j
corded show the Indian boys av- ;
eraging 47.6 points per game i,
while all opposition has averaged :
31.1 points per game. A win av-|:
erage for every game of 16 and a
half points.
The largest score Summerville i
boys made was as they defeated
Trion 73 to 36. The lowest score
was a 26 to 25 win over Ar
muchee in the opening game for
SHS.
In losing to Rome High 60 to
53, the Indians still had a few :
points over the Hilltoppers for
the home games as Summerville |:
won from them at home 46 to
27.
For those 19 games Summer-!
ville scored 904 points to 592 for
all opposition in the boys scor
ing. The Summerville girls have| 1
729 points against 641 for the 1
opposition in 20 games including I ’
the 43-40 they won over Trion’ 1
on Tuesday night this week I 1
making their total 12 wins, 8
losses. J

Boys Win No. 19
Adding to their totals, Trion’s
Bulldogs again fell victim to the
, Indians on Tuesday of this week
by a 70-34 cuont.
Paced by Bush and Fletcher
with 20 and 17, it was a roaring
|tornado that flew up from a
23-21 Trion halftime lead to a
144-32 third quarter and the com
plete quarter’s finish with a 26
point surge.
Forty-nine points in 16 min
lutes of play or three a minute
after the second and third
stringers let a 13-6 lead crum
ble in the second period.
Sewell Cash, letting his
16-point average repose slightly,
hit for 14 with Dacus 7, Nix 2,
Glenn 2. Hawkins and Lanier 1
each, Flannagan 4, Morehead 2.
As the young ladies went,
Woods 19. Cash 11, Groce 13, as
Powell. Tutton and Brow r n check
ed the Trion offensive for the
three point 43-40 score.
For clutch shooting, Joyce
Groce was SHS big factor as her
surge in the final period lifted
a sagging offensive and held it
there.
For Trion’s best evening’s per
formance, Kathryn Coots, under
a strain of three personals in
I the first quarter, went the rest
; of the way without a fourth dis
qualifying and played her best
| game of the year. Jimmy Leath,
also a grand forward for the
Blues, was a defensive scene
stealer and until going out late
in the third was always blocking
the way. Ruby Campbell, at for- I
ward, was Trion’s offensive ball!
handling spark and still found I
time to lay up 18 points. Bettj’ I
Hayes, in this one a demon long i
shot specialist, led all scorers
with a high of 20 for the night
as Ann Lowry chipped in 2.
Pushing win after win as the I
Summerville habit is getting to
be, there has been added to the
SHS scorebook eight wins in sev
en days or nights of play.
Last Tuesday, Menlo girls fell
33-18, boys, 68-18. Friday night
Lyerly got the same dose: girls,
; 51-20, boys, 50-27. Saturday night
lat Dalton, girls, 36-32, boys,
49-40. Cash tossed a neat 33 at
the Catamounts. Tuesday at Tri
on. girls, 43-40, and boys, 70-34.
Friday’s Finish At Home
McHenry High’s tough Cardi
nals will come to Summerville
Friday night and the last season
home game before the tourney
looks tough indeed. At McHenry,
SHS girls lost 36-25. as the boys
won 47 to 37.
Tournament Feb. 22-23
Next week is off week for the
boys to get ready for Region 4
Class A tourney play to begin
in Summerville on Wednesday
and finish the upper half play
on Thursday night, Feb. 22-23.
Next week, the girls will be in
a play at Ringgold.

TB ASSOCIATION
From Page 1
: Health would be “most receptive”
at this time to a resolution from
I the TB Association asking for
| another health nurse. She quo
ted Dr. H. D. Brown, Chairman,
। saying that funds are now av
ailable and another nurse will be
| hired.
Mr. Espy, Mrs. B. W. Farrar
i and Miss Jewell Poole were
’ named to prepare the resolution
I for presentation to the County
I Health Board.
OJlicers Re-Elected
Officers of the Associationl
I were re-elected to serve for the !
■ coming year. They are as follows:
Mrs. Clarkson, President; Mrs.
B W Farrar, Vice President; I
Mrs. J. H. Newman, Secretary;
। and Mrs Agnes Hammond,
! Treasurer.
“The continued interest of the
i people in this county in tuber
j culosis is completely justified and
will bring results,” declared Dr.
i Payne. "This county however will
bo one of the last places where
I tuberculosis is brought under
control because of the high in- <
| cidence of the disease here."
A health commission visiting |
at Battey recently stated that he
believed the high amount of tu
berculosis in this area is because I
“there’s either too much of some
thing in the soil or not enough.”
The high amount of silica in
the water of the area is believed
to be a primary cause of the di
sease. Health Inspectors have i
ttsted water from wells through
out Chattooga County recently, ।
1> was disclosed
The two types of tuberculosis
are primary and adult, stated
Dr. Payne. Primary Is incurred in
childhood and usually remains
in an arrested form throughout
life. Lowered resistance from
lack of proper food, loss of sleep
and such simlllar factors may
cause the Infection to become
“adult tuberculosis.”
Children of parents who have
the disease inherit a tendency
to have It. Whooping cough,
measles and influenza are ali
contributing factors to TB it
was stated.
Dr. Payne said that the death
rate from tuberculosis has de
creased from 2,500 in 1930 to 900
in 1958 Streptomycin Is partially
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS
responsible for this decrease, it
was declared.
Community Chest
In a discussion period, the
1 Association decided to cooperate
' with any group that may spon
> sor a community chest in the
' county.
Mr. Espy, county clerk, an
, nounced that a small fund is
i made available by the county
for the most needy families.
It was pointed out that this
year the Tuberculosis Associa
tion has only S9OO with which to
aid tuberculosis families.
Out-of-town guests at the
meeting were: Mrs. Rufus Payne,
Tom Sheffield and Miss Betty
Birch, all of Battey Hispital;
James E. Crank and O. K. Moore,
, field representatives of the Ga.
Tuberculosis Association, Atlan
■ ta.
Also attending the meeting
■ were many school and county
i leaders.

Oh beloved, will you hear? It

winding up this dark mountain.
Let us be careful of each step
lest we fall into the crevices of

ery few steps we find sickness

, and toilsome journey up the
steps of this mountain we meet
with eternal separation as some
• fall without God. The voice of
dying groans on life’s dark
' mountains by the wayside should
s make us be careful with every
, step of life. Some become so dis

I many of the mountain’s stones.

lead you into Heaven. So I found
Him. It was the Lord Jesus
Christ. He is most wonderful.
Each task I meet on this moun
