M acon SP?rta Round*
By J. F. BRADY
Last week this column was
riding high, wide, and hand
some about the coming football
season and this week is no ex
ception. There's something about
this thing ca'led football that
has appeal. Maybe it's knowing
that not everyone can climb
Into a set of shoulder pads, go
down on the' field, and really
play the game like it should be
played.
I guess it could be said, and
I'll say it, that it takes a boy
with not just ability alone, but
a good measure of just plain
guts, and a willingness to accept
hard knocks and still come
back for more.
And these lettermen on a
football squad. They didn't get
those monograms for sweeping
out the eym lockerroom each
afternoon. Letters show that the
fellow has- made good, and in
part constitute reparation for
sore muscles, hard work in prac
tice, hard knocks in games, and
the innumerable bruises picked
up during a season of play. All
American or otherwise, it sets
off the hustlers from the splint
er collectors who heat the
bench during a game.
And" every squad has its stars.
Nine out of ten times the glam
our boys of the team are In the
backfield, but like a chain be
ing as strong as its weakest link,
a backfield is as strong as Its
line. Stars in football are made,
not born, and most of the time
?the line play fathers the back
Held stars.
That's just a thought, and a
little reminder, to give credit
where credit is due.
Dropped over to the practice
field the other day and watch
ed Harry Corbin working the
Panthers out in the absence of
Coach Milburn Atkins, who is
expected back this week.
The "Panthers were pawing!
Duck walking, pushups, and
shoving the blocking sled all
over the place. In fact, they
were doing almost everything
but chinning themselves on
their own arms, and touching
their toes with both feet off the
ground.
Things are looking up, and
there's plenty of hustle, so it's
bet that they will be more than
ready for the opening game with
Andrews on September IS.
Last year's lettermen, Charlie
Thomas, "Nink" Henry, "Bardy"
Archer, "Bo" Norton, and John
Alsup are working into shape.
Richard Jones and Pat Pattillo
are working; around Murphy but
are expected to be out before
long. Likewise for Jack Norton
and Zeb Mehaffey.
But, the lineup Is longer: Bill
Teague, Ben Edwards, Kermlt
Dehart, Paul' Kllllan, W^yne
Stewart, BUI Waldroop, Bill
Hunnlcutt, Tom Jones, Harold
Corbln, Grady Corbln, Clinton
Roland, Jimmy Estes, "Dub"
Leach, and Richard Russell are
watering the turf with the sweat
of their brows.
Ed Polndexter, of Iotla, who
played fullback with Hayesville
last year, is expected to show
up for practice some time this
week.
FRESH FISH
All you fishermen huddle
around and listen to the latest
on fishing barometers.
R. R. Gaines, down at the
Burrell Motor company, has a
fishing barometer made out of
a quart milk bottle and a Coca
Cola bottle, and durned if it
doesn't work!
The milk bottle is filled with
water, and the coke bottle neck
is sticking inside the top of the
milk bottle, the lip almost
touching the water. When the
fishing is good, the water rises
up Inside the coke bottle. Con
fused??? Then you better go
down and see the rig for your
self. it's on display In the of
fice.
This puts the gag on us for1
this week, but we'll be seeln'
you again. If you have any
sports items you want mention
ed, or fish tales told, drop in to
The Press office and tell us
about it, or jot_ it down on a
card and mall it' to us.
So adieu, or something like
that. As a word of parting, it
reminds us of the cat who
stood watching a tennis game.
"It takes guts to be in that
racket," he sez.
IN APPRECIATION
We wish to express our ap
preciation to our friends and
neighbors for their many kind
nesses at the time of the death
of our husband and father, J.
C. Sanders. THE FAMILY.
