OCTOBER 18, 19T7
Two Share Football Money
For the first time In seven weeks, there was no clear-cut winner In last week's Mirror-
Herald football contest.
None of the guessperts were able to come up with a perfect card, due to R-S Central's 7-6
upset of favored Bast Rutherford.
Thirteen persons hit nine of the 10 area high school and college games, but none of the
18 could hit R-S Central's upset.
Thus, the de-breaker again determined the winners, and this time two persons came
within a point and will share the $76 first and second prizes.
Sara George and Tommy Buchanan, both of Kings Mountain, predicted 27 points on the
Delores Hughes, Kenny Davis and Johnny Cobb.
Mrs. George and Buchanan will receive checks for $87.60.
Others missing Just one game. Included Foley Cobb, Kathem Gordon-Wright, Mike
Bowen, Barry Webster, Ron Carpenter, Richie Land, Chip McGill, Mark Champion,
Dedlores Hughes, Kenny Davis and Johnny Cobb.
There Is another contest In today's paper, listing 10 of this week’s top high school and
college games. Read over the rules and send us your entry. Tou could be the next winner.
