FAIR GAME
Rip Thru Greenville For 26-.0
Victory While Washington
Is Losing
Staging a. fierce comeback after los
ing to th estrong Washington High
School eleven the week before, the
Roanoke Rapids Yellow Jackets ran
thru and around the.Greenville High
School Greenbacks last Friday at the
Halifax County Fair to win by the
score of 26-0..
It was the locals feurth Conference
game and was their third win. They
are now in a tie for first place as
Washington lost t° Ayden last week
6 to 0.
Mills and Captain Starkes ripped
the light Greenville line to shreds
(during the game, both of them exhib
iting some of the best line plunging
that has been seen here since the*
days of “Husky” Johnson. Running
along with these two backs were the
end runs staged by Fleetwood Su’
livan and Jimmie Womble. The lat
ter made a thrilling play on Roa
noke’s second touchdown by diving at
least seven feet across the goal-line
for a touchdown.
Speight, whs went in for Womble
did some nice work, in fact the whole
so-called second backfield did some
nice work with Dickens and Speight
leading th eparade. Cullom did some
outstanding work in the line along
with Clyde Mills and Womble.
The game was one of the main fea
tures of the Halifax County Fair; al-1
most three thousand people saw the
game. The local highs for the first
time this year was working together,
the line and backfield worked as a
unit ar.d there is no doubt that Coach
Hoyle has the team right for the fu
ture.
Washington High School defeated
Roanoke Rapids and pulled the fast
traveling Jackets from the top perch
of the Northeastern Athletic Confer
ence. It was pretty tough for the Ra
pids. They jvant the ‘ championship
this year ahj that ftsf verdict jxi fa
vor of the Washingtonites di<f hot
sound championship like. Along:
comes Ayden High School whom Roa
noke Rapid* defeated in the first
game of the season 7-0 and hands
Washington a 6-0 defeat and put?
three teams, maybe one or two more
tied for the top. Now all the Jacket?
are happy. It means that they still
have a good chance to tie Washing
ton, or Ayden maybe, with a little
luck go thru the season with no more
defeats and thereby win the cham
pionship. And if not that, then bare
a chance to play a post-season buries
game to decide the whole matter.

The management of thb Peoples

its patrons next Wednesday and
Thursday.
Ruth Chatterton and Clive Brook
will appear in another fascinating tal
kie—one which is said to contain an
even greater amount of dramatic and
romantic punch than the two earlier
successes of these capable favorites.
The picture is “Anybody’s Woman.”
It is the story of the vagrancies of a
misfit marriage.
Brook is seen as the prosperous
young lawyer, who indulges in a pro
longed orgy after his wife divorce?
him to marry another man. One
norning after a night of insensate
drunkeness, he wakes to find that
he has been married to Ruth Chat*
terton, ar. unrefined, tawdry, down
at-the heels actress.
His friends forsake him after he
“straightens out,” and begins again
his respectable pursuit of business.
Ruth sees him losnig his prestige and
decides that she will leave him for
the sake of his standing in society.
She goes away, although she loves
him more than anything else in the
world. He carries on without her, but
before long discovers that there i3
an emptiness in life that can only
be filled by this woman.

The YeDow Jackets had better be
more careful about making those ex- i
tra points. Many a football game has 1
been decided by one point. Captain:
Starke* fumbled away two in the
Greenville game. Fred Mills seems
about the only sure extra point pos-1
sibility in the whole squad; And if
his line buck don’t get it over, why
we go without
Alble Booth, our choice for All
American quarter-back, did every
thing a good football player does and
ran rings around Brown, which the
week before had beaten Princeton.
Yale did a good comeback after its
defeat by Georgia last week and meets
Army, conqueror of Harvard, next
Saturday.
Coach Hnvle has been bearing
down on son/' of the boys who
thought they were pretty good. Go ti
it Coach. Make men out of them ns
well as football players.
Nothing is more pathetic than the j
Hirrh School star who goes away to
College to discover tha the is not as
hot as he thought he was.
I was talking to a frilled of mine,
who mw the Navy-Duke clash and ac
cording to what he said the Duke
back field with Murray leading the
charge, romped thru the Navy line
at will. Rosky, wh ocalls signals
from an end position !was another out-,
standing star of the- contests It is
very seldom that an opponent. > df
minor importance takes s gam* from
a larger school. Duke Wag "sand
wiched” in between two of Navy's
big games to give them a "breather."
It turned out to be a boomerang.
North Carolina State has signed
Bob Warren to heT)> coach the Wolf
Pack baclcfield. This comination of
Warren, Sermon and Slaughter should
put State into their rightful place in
the .football sun. Van Liew evidently
did not make the grade. Via the i
grapevine we got the facts tlist when.
the Pack went to Florida to play %
Gators that the boys from Bast Ra
leigh had only four pi? vs. It is. dj
known fact that the whole team has
been sore and upset ever since thej
Davidson game. When there is a fric
tion on any kind of team you cannot
win. State ma<ty> a master stroke
when they made a change. '
| Old Knut" Rockne used a little psy
