\ AKSITV TKNTKK:
Thfn hunky HulldoK is not only
a )olly-Kood-f«»!low. but he pUyi
a l»auK-up jcame of football for
AC each ainl time hi» takes
!he fl**lcl. If** wpU known to hia
team inaleR, an well an his op-
IHjUHnts, for hl« ability, determin
ation. and sof>d Rportsman«hlp.
Ar to his ability, there Is no
qu<‘stlon. As most of us know. !fal
was severely Injured In our first
conference jsame with l>*nolr-
Uhyne last year. In all pre-geason
practUes he was a stand*out; and
hwause of this fact, he was count-
t d on heavily by both the coaches
and his learn males. After recelv-
Inx Ihe doctor’s OK to play foot
ball aKaln. he reported for pre-
tjame drills Septeml>er 1 of this
yfur. The rest Is history.
Hals determination has been
wltnesHed by most of you In the
thr**e names played here. On sev
eral occasions In these games, he
was carried from the field and
a»lvl:»ed not to return to the (tame;
but the minute he was In his rljrht
mind and able to walk again,
there was no keeping; him out of
the contest. Some of us might
iblnk this foolish, but with Hal’s
determination and love for the
game, there's no other way out.
Hal's sportsmanship has been
brought out In the five games that
he's partlclpat»*d In this season.
There have been no penalties call
ed against him. This In Itself Is
quUe an achievement when you
take Into consideration some of
the things that happen In a foot
ball game. For instance an oppos
ing lineman unnecessarily hits
you with his fist or elbow. The
normal reaction would be to gel
even. Information gathered from
various members of the football
team was to the effect that this
has happen«Ml on several occasions
10 Smitty (as he is called by team
mates and friends) In the Krsklne
^;yme. He d'.d not react as the
j verage Individual would; but he
Juughed the Incidents off as a
goml sport, and that’s just what
be Is — a good sport.
In the afore menllonetl. It was
staled that Smitty was unable
to play r<»otball last season due
ir u s«*vere l»;Jury of the back.
This was a terrible blow to Hal,
as well as the team. Hut once
football gels In your blood, and
11 does just that, there Is no get
ting away from It. Such was the
lase with Smltly: and In order to
Flay with the game, he volunteer-
e<i his- services to coach the Mid
get team at Charles L. Coon High
Hchot»l. Although Smltly did a
grand job with the Midgets, his
heart was still with the ACC
varsity. Mut this year he Is back
viiih us In body and well as spir
it. fjvlng his all Towards making

league i»y losing their flrHt two games but got back In the run

chance of being In the play-offs From the way it looks to dal**,
the pennant winner will be between the Trojans, reached '*y
J. D. Thorne, and lh«’ Ri‘bels. loarbed by (Jene Driver. Then**
two teams meet on the last dav of Ihe neason. The Tiger*,
ciiached by Krnest Atkinson, got off to a bad start In their flr^t

After the touch football season has ended and Ibe play-offs
