OCTOBER 1C, 1924 THE EBXHIPEP PAOE THREE LEXIXGTOX FARES BEFORE SAIjISBFKY Although the Salisbury team was outplayed, out-fought, and even took tho t-Til end ''f the yardage gained, they left the Legion park in Salisbury with a thirteen to six victory over their ancient rivals from Lexington. Lexington began her attack eaily in the first quarter when a punt was blocked near the goal line and was recovered after it had rolled fifteen yards, (.lene Young, the mighty full back carried the ball four yards and then Raker took a sho;t pass to the one yard line only to be called back for oL’-side. During the quarter Lex ington continued to pound the line for good gains but when least expect ed Vestal fumbled the ball and an op- lio'sing lineman scooped up the oval and raced fifty yards for a touch down, Again in the third quarter Salisbury blocked a punt which was soon turned into a touchdown. Then the b’"eak began to turn, Ce cil, who had been substituted for Eanes picked up a fumbled punt and raced to the ten yard line only to have his team held for downs. Th^n fol lowed the brilliant run of Berrier, who in the last minute of play, inter cepted a pa^-s and ran fifty yards for the goal and thus saved Lexington from being held scoreless. Captain Anderson played his best game as so did Philpott and Sink. Hunt also did good work, especially in the first half. Lexington missed the services of her half back, Miller who was • held out on account of minor troubles with a member of the faculty. It is hoped that he will soon be allowed to play as it has been stated that he was missed very much. As a whole the team played well and deserved to win but for the for tunes of war.

A number of the freshmen that are comin.g out to prac tice jtlayed in Grammer School. This is an advantage because they can stai't right in with the old players, and probably some of them will make subs cn th"' team. Wo are now prac ticing on the Methodist play ground, but are hoping to get in the new Gymnasium soon. BASKET B.MjIj PROSPEf TS FOB. ] 1)24-1 125 The pro'pects for a winning bas ket-ball team this year are only fair. Since the school was not represented last year there is no abundance of material on hand. Eugene Youn.g, a star for several years is the best pros pect for a captain. He is heavy and fast and in him we have an ideal guard. Oscar Berrier a former all- ^tate man of the fast Welcome quint is attending school and he i.s expect ed to matriculate. It is very doubt ful that Bufort Miller will return to school and if he does not, his loss will be felt even more than it is on the gridiron. With these experienced men and with an abundance of raw material it is ho)ied that a winning te.am can be placed on the floor.

And there no lessons wmuld be gotten For I really think them rotten. Because you have to study all day; And do not have a chance to play. But now I often wonder Why I used to ponder Over lessons oh, so small: That were nothing to get at all. For now' I have to study all day, and part of the night, And get up with the early morn ing light; For you must study in high school. And obey strictly every rule. About thirty girls were out Monday afternoon for the first basket-ball practice. Several of the girls that were on the team last year went off to college this fall, but out of the Soulful Lad—“Drink to me only with thine eyes.” Flapper, interrupting him—“Can that stuff and get the hooch.” —Exchange. t> l> t|> d> ?l> ?t> b t> l> l> r> ■!> |3 b l> d> to l> h> (k d> d> l> t> d> l> l> ik 93 9> d> i> 3|3 b 93 b b b t> MAY THE LEXHIPEP HAVE “Lots of Pep” during the coming season, and con tinue to come to see us for SPORTING GOODS POCKET KNIVES USEFUL GIFTS We appreciate your business CONRAD Hardware Co. t> k d> 9> b b 9> 3l3 t> 9> 93 93 b b 93 b b b 3b b |3 l> l> b l> b '2 b b lb. i> 93 93 Sb b i> b ,b b 92 l,> b
