Tryon - Saluda
Football Team
The Tryon-Saluda football team
will be composed of many veteran
players this year with a number of
young reserves. In order to get
the fans better acquainted with
the players a few pictures of the
Tryon boys have been placed on
a poster in Missildine’s window.
These do not represent the entire
squad and later on another group
will be shown.
A summary of the team shows
Taylor and Alex Beatson at end,
with Cooksey, Bradley, and Cartee
as reserves. The tackle positions
are well fortified with big Homer
Shields and Bill Swann able to
take care of things with the help of
Parker and Rhodes. There are
six men out for guard. Seth Vin
ing and H. O. MteCallister have
had experience at this position
while Coon, Derby, Pratt, and
Hilton are new. Locke MlcGeachy,
the third of a series of brothers
to play center seems capable of
holding down the pivot place with
Pace being an understudy.
The back field seems to be in
better shape this year than in
previous years with an array of
eight men. Green, Jones, and
Dutton Beatson are triple threat
men with previous experience. The
fourth back field place will come
out of Melton, Beatson, Wall,
Cooper and Holbert. All these
men will probably see action in
the opening game with Inman
Friday, September 22, at Harmon
Field.
