I' V, YELLOW JACKETS DEFEAT RED DEVILS (By GEORGE SUBER) An inspired swarm of Yellow Jackets from Selma High school beat the daylights out of its traditional rival, Smithfield high, 41-0, in a six- man football game here last Friday. Led by Johnnie Colones, the locals stayed on the offense all afternoon, scoring at will. Plunging, passing, and broken field running, were mixed into a diversified attack that kept Smithfield constantly back on its heels. Early the first ciuarter Colones kicked out of bounds on the Red Devil’s one yard line—a beautiful coffin corner punt that traveled fifty yards. With their backs to the wall: Smithfield tried to kick out, but the whole local forward wall rushed the kicker and the ball went out of bounds on the Devil’s six-yard line. Colones scored easily and the Selma scoring machine began to roll. Led by speedy Virgil Sullivan, who scored three of Selma’s six touchdowns, the Yellow Jackets piled up 41 points against a big zero for Smithfield. Smithfield was held so well in check that only once did they get as far into local territory as the 35-yard line. ITiere was one big’ reason for this—Clifton Core—time after time this boy broke through the Red Devil’s defense, smearing the ball carrier for tremendous losses. Clifton was a thorn in their offense, ataying in their backfield so much that it almost looked like he was part of it. Smithfield had a bag of trick plays, but with Core in the game—well, those plays just didn’t click. Clif played one whale of a game and deserves a lot of credit because he was the chief instrument used in hanging that big 0 on the Red Devils. The most spectacular play of the game came in the fourth quarter when Don Brown, playing on pass defense, sensed a Red Devil pass and was “Johnny on the spot’’ when it was flipped. Speedy Don intercepted that pass and out-footed several Smithfield players in his trip goal- ward. Colones, blocking beautifully all aftemon, clipped the safety man, the only player between Brown and the goal line, and Don went over Into pay territory standing up. He returned this interception 40 yards. Tho.se who saw the game will readily agree that Coach H. W. Broughton’s locals were well coached and primed for this, the most im portant ev’ent of the school year.

Strong Lectures At Banner Chapel Church Banner Chapel community near Benson is being stirred immensely this week by a series of strong lec tures by the Lee Brothers, pastor Evangelists, held at Banner Chapel Advent church, which began Monday night, October 21st and continues through Friday night, October 25th. These evangelists are James and Marvin Lee, of Wilmington, N. C., and Augusta, Ga. Services are held each night at 7:30. Their theme for the week is: “The World Today In the Light of Bible Prophecy.’’ Great crowds are attending these services which close tomorrow (Friday) night. Don’t miss the next seiwice. The Lee Brothers say “The pres ent world situation demands a re newed proclamation of the prophetic sureties of the Bible pointing us to the soon coming of the Lord. We will use two larg’e charts to illustrate our Bible messages and there will be singing, praying, testifying and a reaffirmation of the Advent Christian Hope of Second Personal Advent of Christ, the bodily resurrection of the dead, the purification of the earth, and the establishment of God’s eternal kingdoms under the whole heavens.” Book Rental Contest Comes To Close Zion Meeting Held At Princeton Church For the fourth and last week in the contest among the teachers in the county in collecting 100 per cent book rentals the following four teachers have collected 100 per cent: Miss Elizabeth Strickland, Clayton schol, 11th grade; Miss Melba Cline, Clayton school, 8th grade; Mr. R. F. Autry, Cleveland school, 10th grade; Mr. V. A. Lumley, Cleveland school. 9th grade. For the four weeks that the con test ran there were 30 teachers in the entire county that succeeded in coliecting 100 per cent. These teach ers are distributed among the schools as follows: Kenly 2, Archer Lodge 2, Glendale 1, Four Oaks 1, Pine Level 2, Prince ton 1, Selma 1, Smithfield 3, Clayton 5, Wilson’s Mills 1, Micro 1, Cleve land 3, Meadow 3, Benson 3, Corinth- Holder 1. It is interesting to note that not a single teacher teaching any of the first seven grades in school was able to collect 100 per cent during the period of the contest. Thirty-one of the 100 high school grades collected 100 per cent, while none of the 253 elementary grades collected 100 per cent. There were 7 eighth grades; 8 ninth grades; 8 tenth grades; and 8 eleventh grades that collected 100 per cent. Perhaps the reason for the better collections in the high school, where the rent is higher, is the fact that high school students are old enough to see the necessity of having books to do the work and in many cases make their own money picking cotton and in other ways to pay their rent. The children in the elementary grades, being younger, realize less than the older children the necessity of having books and also have less ways of making their own money. The books are just as necessary, and in many cases more so, in the grades than in the high school. Therefore, the parents and the older brothers and sisters should come to the aid of the younger children by helping them to secure their school books.
