Dispute tJ <5 ^4? ****** r i cdiucf to North LANCASTER,S.C. (AP) To some among me 4,ub2 wno paid to see it, the Old Hickory Football Classic was more a chance to have fun and see their high school teams in action than a way to settle a 200 year-old controversy. But the 17-inch stoneware bust of Andrew Jackson now will sit in the Union County, N.C., courthouse. It ?> pumKnl r\f thn nrrn nlrl Hicnnta Id a OJIUMVI v? tuv viu uioputv between North Carolina and South Carolina over which state can rightfully claim Jackson as a native son. And the matter was settled convincingly - at least until next year. Three high school teams from Union County took turns beating three South Carolina teams Friday night for the bragging rights. NORTH CAROLINA won a 36-6 victory, allowing the South Carolina teams only one touchdown in the three 24-minute t\nrinHc /" f ^ jA/i n/uo a piuj . Because North Carolina high school rules do not allow fullflcdged games to be played before the season begins, scrimmage rules were used. Had the score been tied, tne team witn tne greatest yardage would have taken Old Hickory Home. Jackson, the nation's seventh president, was born on March 15, 1767, in the Waxhaw area that bridges the border between the two Carolinas. But historians have never been able to agree whether his birthDlace was Waxhaw. N.C., or Wax haw, S.C. "ANYONE WHO studies the evidence would have to say it shows beyond a doubt he was born in South Carolina," said Charles Lee, director of the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. "I would expect my friends dowr at the South Carolina Departmenl of Archives and History to say jus! that," retorted William Price assistant director of the Nortl Carolina Division of Archives anc History. So officials in Lancaster County SC., and Union County, N.C. dpriripH to lot thp matter hn settlec in an annual football game. "I'm not aware of any other time in American History when th< outcome of a football game has affected the accuracy of historica event," said Price. 1979 use r* ii r* ~ .1^ rooiuan aunttuu/v Sept. 8 at North Carolina 15 WESTERN MICHI GAN 22 DUKE 29 at Georgia Oct. 6 OKLAHOMA ST i rn M I C 20 MISSISSIPPI 27 at Notre Dame Nov. 3 N.C.

Lancaster County has only two high schools - Lancaster and Buford - so it was forced to borrow the Great Falls High School team from neighboring Chester County. "THIS IS A football game," said Roger Sins, a Lancaster County rescue squad worker whose son, Blake, played for Buford High School in the game. "It ain't got nothing to do about where he's (Jackson) from." Lou Lilla Lee, a Waxhaw, N.C., sewing machine operator, said, "I just came for fun. I don't know where he's from and really don't care, l just wonder it he had committed a crime would everybody be trying to claim him." Said Charles Lee: "It's too good a controversy to bury. I can't imagine either state conceding to the other." v?iy Suwrvt I ; #ONE DRY SERVK : GOLD SEAL SEG ' LEATHERS & SL I ' BRANCH !
