He certainly should have won the game if coolness and deliberation would win it. Despite. Tarrant's seeming efJfort to play to the stands, he played 'a good game, getting off some good ' tackles wh le playing at defensive position. Prof. J. L. Keitt, Jr., the Newberry coach, accompanied his 'team. Members of the visiting team were Adams, Boozer, Renwick, Burns, Wiggins, Caldwell, Cromer, Hardeman, Spearman, Tarrant and Eddy.
