fr .^ GRIDIRON * GAB Rv Rcnn drum 4 Oglethrope'* upset Victory over Georgia last Saturday tu* somrwhal of a let-down for the Pullman load of Shelby grid iron fans who plan to see the Yalr-Gcnrgia (tame ne\t week in Athens as well as the Teeh ( arolina tussle on the previous day in Atlanta. But Oglethrope's turnlul over rf the dope bucket should not take so much of the kick out of the Yale-Ororgia clash tor several rea sons. First of all. and don’t 'orget tl. Oglethrope always has a good football eleven. Every vr ir or two the Atlanta school has a tine eleven. Tech fans who recall tnr unexpected walloping Oglethrope gave the Golden Tornado a few years ago will tell you that. Then, too. remrmbrr that Georgia will be opening a brand new stadium Sat urday week and that thr-v will be playing Yale the first time Yak over came South for anybody. Don't tell us that those Georgia gridder. will not put up the battle of i,l-e:r lives for the edification of the rec ord crowd for the new stadium opening and for the benefit of Yale down for a first visit to the land of molasses, cheap moonshine, and beautiful girls. Football fan*, just like (hr sportwriters, seldom fan see a great pigskin carrier unless he happens to be on some onl - standing: eleven likr Georgia Tech, Notre name, California, or N. Y. IT. Yet In the scores of little college elevens scattered over the country there must be every year plenty of Granges, Thorpes, Micella, and Browns. This lad Jimmy Greene, who flashed across the field here Inst Saturday against Lenoir Kh.vnr. is to our way of thinking one of the best all-around backs we have 'em in several years. Dick Gurley. whom team was riddled by the fast step ping P. C. back, says ‘ Greene is the best back I've seem in ac'lon anywhere for two years.” And Gur ley admits that, the Presbyterian flash is just about as good as was the mighty Spurlock. Official lr. the Lutheran-Presbyterian 'lash say the same. Many fans will disagree. This type of (an thinks good foot ball t* never played by anyone un less in a major contest. Maybe not, but Jimmy Greene In the Georgia Tech or Notre Dame lineup this year would come mighty near br ing an All-American. That boy can run. and when he's 'arkled hr starts Jumping. Although on a minor rollege eleven, more will hr heard of him this year. If any more tough lurk ran the Shelby hlfh eleven 11 surely will have In be a small - pfli epidemic. About every oth er had break that rould romr along has already arrived. When the season opened there were only two experienced haekfieUI men on the squad. Today both of them are hobbling about on crutches. Gaffney sports, according to re ports reaching Shelby, are willing to spot Boiling Spring 14 points end wager on the outcome between the Gaffney high eleven and the junior Baptists in their clash Friday. The Gaffneyites may be in a fair va\ to round up a covey of surkers. but before that game is over Friday they'll learn that the team Blainey Rackley will send in against them , will be a far different proposi'ion from the one they handled. and smothered, Iasi year. That game, if you'll take our tip.! will be the best one staged sny- i where in this section this week. Practically all of the college elevens In which fans in this area are interested will get go Inc this week. On Friday State college plats W. A: L. in Raleigh. Saturday Carolina travels away from home to P>kf on Maryland (there's a test for you>; Wake Forest battles Rich mond at Richmond: Davidson plays , Wofford at Spartanburg; Duke opens a new stadium with the re- j nowned Pittsburgh eleven furnish tng tha opposition: and Lenrir Rhyne plays Newberry at Newberry Write your own ticket—but what of these: W <5: L over State. Ca.o lina over Maryland, Pittsburgh over Duke. Wake Forest over Richmond Davidson over Wofford, and Lenoir Rhyne over Newberry? Who said anything about a South Carolina inferiority complex? Did: you notice the clashes between the two Carolines last week? Clemron tromped Davidson. Wofford best High Point, and P. C. licked Le noir Rhyne. Injuries Weaken Highs For Friday a i F.skridgr. Fullback. Out With In jury. No Experienced [talks For Forest City. The Shelby highs will likelv go into Iheir game Friday at Forest City with one of the weakest lineups they have sent on a field in many years. Fast week the highs lost a hard game to Belmont Ahhev because of a lark of experienced men. and this week matters became worse when Fskridge, fullback, the only remaining liackfield man of experience, joined the injur ed list. It Eskridge is unable to play Fri day, and it appears so now. the four men who will bear the sooting burden for the Morrlsmen w>l< al' be new men. except for the far; that flippy had some experience at quarter last year 1.1 noiip A 1'uzzle. Just how the Shelby coach will patch up his eleven for the game cannot, he determined as yet, but Rippv may run the eleven at quar ter with Poston and Connor at the halfback positions and "Ptirp" Bar rett. or Max Putnam at fullback The line will be practically the same array that took a trampling from the Irish Catholics last week. Wilson, Parris and McSwain being the only veterans in the forward wall. Forest City has one of the strong est elevens in the history of the Rutherford town and would have held the odds over the Shelby team with all of the remainin'! regulars. Wall, Eskridge and others, in the line-up As It is the heavy green line, and the light inexperienced backfield will do well to hold down i the score “Red" Whisnant’s Gastonia clc ! ven comes here next week and me Shelby coaches hope to have Wall and Eskridge ready for the game to gether with an entire lineup a lit tle more acquainted with football.

For more than a week the fov- . hall talk in and about Shelby has-; centered about the reports of some real grid stars at the junior college, and the clash this week at Gaffney will give fans t.hrir first opportunity to see the Rackleyites in action near at home. Somehow fans are on edge to «re what that. Chetty-Roney-Amcs St.roud backfield looks like in rc tion. Three of the four backs, all experienced players, are said to weigh around 100 pounds each in thr line these same reports have It that Howard Moore, as scrappy * tackle as ever played at Siiclbv high, is I lie lightest player- arid Moore, as Shelby fans know, is no midget.
