The Newberry Indians play the
Lawyers from Cumberland University
on Setzler field this Friday night at
8 o’clock. The Indians jubilant over
_ t of their victory last week against Ers-
r . xihe beauti- kine, are eager to add another scalp
to their belts. This game, however,
promises to be a greater test for the
Redmen.
Cumberland University has to play
against the tough opposition of the
Tennessee and Kentucky mountain
district and consequenty, has had to
play excellent football in order to
survive. The men from the Cedars of
Lebanon depend on a tricky offense
made up mainly of forward and lat
eral passes. Their running game is
strong enough to make their passes
work. On the other hand, Bill Laval’s
boys have uncovered a dazzling pass
ing attack to go with their strong
running game and the Mountaineers
will have a hard time pushing the
Indians around.- Newberry has not
lost a game on the home field this
season. Although this struggle will
be a fierce one, the Indians do not in
tend to have their record marred.
Those attending the game will en
joy seeing the scintillating playing of
Masters, Newberry’s star end who is
unequalled in the state for sheer bril
liance, Cooley, a slashing, tearing,
plunging back, and Colangelo, the
shSfv.y, sophomore sensation, behind
the blocking of the strong forward
wall will make it exceedingly un
pleasant for the football cohorts from
Cumberland University. In order to
assure a large attendance, the price of
admission has been reduced to $1.00
for adults; 40 cents for students.

Prospects Bright
For Lyles Ford
A recent dispatdb from Union stat
ed that the Lyles Ford Tri-County
Authority deveopment has a three to
one chance of winning final approval.
The press notice said that the project
wae waiting an okeh from Secretary
of Interior likesu v- HbBB ‘
Meanwhile, W. R. Elliot of Winns-
boro, chairman of the promotion com
mittee of the project, grives the folow-
ing statement as to the purpose of
the project: It is not the purpose of
the Lyles Ford Tri-County Authority
to build this power development to
pour money into the treasuries of the
counties affected, but rather, to fur
nish power to the rural population of
xs many counties as possi >le, to in
dustries already established, and to
towns within the area. It is also the
purpose of the Lyles Ford Committee
to attract as many new enterprises
as possible, all based on. the furnish
ing of current from this power deve
lopment at as cheap a rate as is con
sistent with good business manage
ment.”
Mr. Elliot further states the need
cf the project: “It is learned from
reliable sources that the amount of
electrical current used in South Caro
lina bias steadily increased since 1930.
If the increase continues through
1940, there will be shortage of ap
proximately two hundred million
kilowatt hours of current, this esti
mate being based on increased during
the national depression years. This
shortage of aproximately two hund
