Try on - Saluda
Defeats Roebuck
The Tryon-Saluda football team
flashed a powerful offensive to
down a* fighting Roebuck team 27
to 0. On the first play of the game
Blackwell, Tryon’s star quarter
back was hurt and a few plays
later was forced to leave the game.
He returned at the beginning of
the second half, contributed a bril
liant run, jumped high in the air
to snag a pass and again retired.
Ward replaced Blackwell a
quarter and ran the tesim well,
sending the powerful backs crash
ing time and again through the
line. Shields, an offensive power
house, rammed the line again aind
a^ain for rice gains. Staton, big
full-back of Saluda, tore off yard
after vfjrd, sometimes with two or
three tacklers hanging on to him.
The whole line played jam-up ball
with McGeachy at center at last
hitting his stride. He was at the
bottom of every trickle and could
not be stopped. Jones, x x x back
of Tryon, ran nicely, skirting the
ends for long runs. “Beak" Heath
erly, big tackle, played nicely,
blocking and opening up gaping
holes in Roebuck’s line.
Tryon’s next game will be with
Taylors, which defeated Tryon
13-12 in 1933, their last meeting.
This g?ime will be played Friday,
