While rsEft ktessed with a scoring team, the .-taafaaaT has had a most unusual fighttBQi, and one which never failed SgSfc until the final whistle end ai fiee game. It has been a team i&as? from discontent and wrangitfc either within or without, and Sfae aefacol is just as proud of them <as 35" they were in the championship j afcosfe.

The management of games Sasfccen kept well in hand by the &ciaal authorities, and a good spirit MW&emfered throughout the com?mai2y by not overdoing the thing. A Proud Record. ^?e record which the 1922 team (ic made is one to be proud of. Nine games Have been played?six of Zht:n at home and three away. The time lost from school on aces*?? of games has been less than day. The team has been disraiiassi from school three times be* i&re 2 o'clock, in order to make the crip to Greenwood, Anderson, and ZFort MTU. Of the nine games played The Abbeville boys have won ueven rszrl fast two. The games won were rrferna Ninety SL\, Due West, Green est-afdi. Clinton, Edgefield, Johnston .-atvd Saluda. The games lost were to .Aaferson 6 to 0; to Fort Mill on Thanksgiving day 39 to 6. This last Fioiocsust was the only real defeat "fee team suffered. The Anderson i^snae was won by what was almost a ML-jfei. and it was anybody's game un' ail? ifte anal whistle. Deliglitful Entertainment TEe trip to Fort Mill was one to be long: remembered by the Abbevdlle boys. They were met at the anritE oa: arrival and assigned to the ^dPtxent homes in which they would be- guests during their stay in Fort HO?. The night they arrived, Mrs. A. (1L lames, Superintendent Fulp's moliber,, entertained them at a delightsapper given to the members of &crt& the Abbeville and Fort Mill teabjsl.

TO FORT MILL. ly, soothe the bitter memories of a few hours before when Fort Mill ran rough shod over them. Various reasons have been projected to warrant this Waterloo, but none of them are more than subterfuges dodging the real issue. Fort Mill simply had a better team than we had, and fought like demons to win the game. The end runs of the Fort Mill team by Elms and Patterson were the most perfect and fastest we have seen in any season before in a high school game. The boys expect Fort Mill to surprise GatFney when they play in Spartanburg this afternoon. Fort Mill has a well-balanced team, the weight being equally distributed, and the team working with machinelike precision. The Abbeville, boys did not lay down, as the over-balanced score might indicate, but they scored the only opportunity they ever had. Some of the local stars did not show up as they have been shining in games earlier in the season, but they have played no other team this season that could match the Fort Mill team in quality. The boys were sumptuously entertained in Fort Mill, turkey being a composite part of every meal, and after the game they revelled in sweets and rich roods, lne domestic science class of the Fort Mill school presented them with a huge box of fudge to eat on the way back to Abbeville. Numerous complimentary remarks were made to the school authorities who accompanied the team to Fort Mill, by the people in whose homes the Abbeville boys stayed. One lady, said that she thought her sons were nice looking high school boys, but the Abbeville boys who were their guests were of unusual gentlemanly manners and were so well groomed. Fine Example of Swetenburg and Hafner. Already the Fort Mill boys are planning to come to Abbeville next Thanksgiving, and it may become an annual affair with the two teams to meet on this day. Without question the excellence with which the Abbeville team showed up in every game is due to the untiring patience and energetic work of Neil Swetenburg and Mr. Hafner, both of whom have spent every afternoon since September 1 on the field with the squad and whose loyal work is generously appreciated by everyone interested in the success of the team. Both of these gentlemen have been the source of the right kind of inspiration and the desired example of gentlemanly conduct both on and off the field that fathers and mothers wish set their sons. Fair play has been the motto of the coaches, and the successful season proves that the motto of the coaches has become the motto of the players. The team loses this session by graduation Ray Swetenburg, Captain Claude Gambrell, Bill Bowie, Bill Nickles, Spencer May and Joe Crawford, but prospects for next season are not so gloomy as conditions may indicate. There is left a splendid foundation upon which to build another team that will rival m? uue jusu passing, ana no matter what the outcome next fall, one thing is assured?the boys in 1923 will play the same high type of sportsmanlike game that their predecessors have done.
