START FOOTBALL PRACTISE
SMALL
SQUAD ,
JS OUT
One of the smallest groups of
football candidates in the his
tory of the school reported Mon
day morning to head coach Cran
ford Hoyle for the local Yellow
Jackets coming football campaign.
Only 26 aspirants greeted the
first practice session called Mon
day morning but Coach Hoyle
predicts the squad will increase
considerably with the opening of
the school.
Six “letter men” reported for
drills and within the next few
days, other letter men are sup
pose to don togs. There are but
few letter men returning this
year due to various reasons.
Prospects are dim with just
eight letter men returning, but
the juniors are showing fine
form and may develop into fine
performers this season.
Coach Hoyle lost eight regulars
through the sheep skin route last
year and plenty of holes will
need plugging. He lost his two
ends. Capt. Gaylord and Edwards
and McCommons reserve end,
Shelly Edwards center, Alton
Davis who was rated as last sea
sons best tackle. Woodrow Gar
ris, Galloping half back, Butler
Brown full back, and Robert Davis
who is not returning because of
the age limit. Brown has given
up football in preference to “Dan
Cupid.”
The letter men returning this
year are: Wilson “Guts” Byrd,
guard, Geo. Nethercut, back, Allen
McNeill, Back, Gene Shell, guard,
Ferrell, tackle, Dickens and Ac
ree, backs, Mincher, guard, Smith,
guard.
Handling the lightest squad
with the least experience in years,
Hoyle has plenty of “headaches”
on hand for the opening game
which is only three weeks off.
Assistant Coach Tom Cheek
will take over the Junior boys
club this year. He has a six
game schedule for the juniors al
ready. Hoyle plans to have ab
out 30 men under his eye.
The Jackets with the help of
the Young Mens Civic Club are
selling tickets at a dollar to help
equip the team with new outfits,
the total sum of around $250.
Each person buying a ticket will
be donating 75 cents for equip
ment for the boys.
The uniforms are to be white
jerseys, blue trousers with elab
orate trimmings, shoulder pads,
helmets and shoes.

Y. M. C. C. DEFEATS
KIWANIS 15 TO 13
Proceeds of hilarious
game goes to fund for
High School uniforms
The Y. M. C. C. (Young Mens
Civic Club) defeated the Kiwanis
Club 15 to 13 in a full 9 inning
game at Simmons Park yesterday
afternoon before a large crowd
of enthusiastic fans.
The entire proceeds of the
game went to the High School
Atheletic Fund for the purchase
of new football uniforms.
Both teams used plenty of sub
stitutes in a free hitting and
not altogether errorless game.
The score stayed tied 8 all for
several innings.
Stars were plentiful. For Ki
wanis, Jesse Harrell was the
outstanding slugger, getting four
hits, one a home run over the
fence. F'letcher Dickens, K. catch
er, duplicated this feat. Pruden
started in the box but weakened
in the second to walk five men.
He was replaced by Ned Manning
who finished the game in grand
style. Y. M. C. C. made half
its runs in this luckless frame.
Those who reported are: Byrd,
Nethercutt, C. Coburn, D. Coburn,
McNeill, Revel, Jarman, Mincher,
Coley, Garris, Shell, Cagle, Smith,
Miller, Padgett, W. Brown J.
Brown, Long, Wood, Lowe, Star
ke, Taylor, Williams, I. Byrd,
Westand Farrell.
Roland Johnson started for Y.
M. C. C. and lasted several in
nings, old age creeping on him
in the middle of the game. Cly
de Liske took Johnsons place for
two innings. He was replaced by
Lefty Garris who baffled the K’s
until a ninth inning rally. Kimball
led the youngsters in hits and
runs.
