FOOTBALL FANS HERE
THANKSGIVING DAY
\
Duel Betweeu Two Old Rival Teams
Will Be Staged on Newberry
Gridiron
Newberry will be a ^ecca for
South Carolina footbalh fans on
A
Tnanksgiving day, lor tnat aiterneon
the annual gridiron duel between the
old rivals, the Presbyterian Bluestockings
and the Newberry Indians,
will be staged here. Because of the
intense rivalry between the two teams
and their supporters, this is always
on lirmennllv VinrH"fftiio4vt: rnritest?2,
battle royal from start to finish. Of
the seven games between the two
elevens, three have been won by the
Presbyterians, thr^e by the Lutherans
with one draw. In 1913, Newberry
woi* twice, each time by the score of
v 53 to 0; in 1915 she won again; the
following year P. Cf. came down to
> Newberry with the slogan, "Beat
Newberry or bust," and won by the
-r O 4. _ A. 1rt1l7 4-1* y* I
score ui o iv v, ?ai saw uic jjiucstockings
win to the tune of to 0;
in 1919 was played a scoreless tie;
while last year P. C. won handily.
- The outcome of this game can never
be safely forecast and the "dope" has
been upset on more than one occasion.
? /
Newberry's eleven, has come out of
the slump which she has suffered during
the past three or four years; and
this' fall the Indians, under the able
o coaching of "Dutch" MacLean, whose
brilliant work at quarter has never
been surpassed in this state, they have
made a notable record. Their tie with
the Citadel and the close game with
Carolina prove them to be an able
aggregation. Although Walter Johnson's
Bluestockings have not won
their usual quota of victories this
year, because of misfortunes to the
squad, they are, like all of Johnson's
teams, well coached and snappy. In
V ?-Jack Wilson they have a half-back
of unusual ability. They can be
counted on to give Newberry a great
ngnt, especially in view 01 tneir decisive
victory over Wofford.
To offset Wilson, Newberry has in
McPhee a quarterback of eminent
| ability and versatility, and in Beede
' one of the best tackles in the state.
Wessinger, the 200 pound left tackle,
is a tower of strength in the line, and
the backfield, with McPhee, Gardner,
- and the Sorts brothers, is one of the
best Newberry has ever had. Altogether
MacLean has a well-balanced
eleven.

handle the large holiday crowd that
is expected. P. C. and the town of
Clinton will send down a large contingent
of Bluestocking supporters,
while the other neighboring points
will furnish automobilearites to swell
the crowd. The selection of Luke Hill
as referee insures a well officiated!
game.
In addition to the big football game
there will be the annual intercollegiate
cross country race, to which all of
the South Carolina colleges for men
have been invited to send teams.
Clemson needs but one more victory
to secure possession of the Sylvan
cup, which other institutions also
covet.
As a "curtain raiser" for the afternoon
game, Newberry high and
Clinton high will meet in the morning.
Altogether it will be a gala day
in athletics.

Little Hubert Hardeman, the fouryear-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. H. H.

Nov. 7, and was buried the following

; RED CROSS ROLL CALL

Some one said, "The way to launc
a campaign is to launch it." So th
Red Cross Fifth Roll Call in Newbei
ry countv was launched Armistic
<
day with a luncheon to the executiv
committee, the ward chairmen of th
town and two workers from eac!
township of the county.
In preparation for ihe day Messrs
T. E. Epting and John Clarkson pu

and the announcement of thi
Roll Call impressed the large crowd
Following the exercises, the people ii
0 *

with smiles and sympathy gave gentle
healing to the wounded; another, a
doughboy with both arms shot off foi
whom a Red Cross worker was writing
a letter to mother; another, a hospital
unit without equipment for whom
the American Red Cross furnished
supplies which enabled the doctors tc
give the assistance so badly needed
at the time of the great drive. Dr,

"The Red Cross Nurse" was responded
to by Mr. Elbert Dickert whc
was joked about not saying all there
-was to say because he is married now
"The Rose of No Man's Land," he
said showed the devotion of the Red
Cross nurse who was always there.
He also spoke of returning with nurs
es on an Italian liner.
Mrs. F. R. Hunter said she was
glad to speak of "The Men of the Red
Cross"'as few realized what the backing
of the men had meant to the organization.
She told of the time
Newberry chapter was called upon
for garments and had no money in the
treasury. In thirty minutes the fin
ance committee raised ?2.000 on t\i
street and the garments wer? bought
TVio cpnnlcpr of the daw Mr. D. C
Heyward, wlien call-id upo 1 to speal

American Red Cross, Miss Clara Par
ton. She and her workers came t<
the rescue when tJea'ifoit was lloode<
in 1893, he remembered.
"The Red Cross and the Ex-Sr r^ici

She spoke of the Ciean-up squ.\a, th<
Home Service work now unair Mr
B. V. Chapman and the hospital re
lief being given now.
It was fitting that .Dr. Kneec<
should speak of "The Red Cross am
j Health," in which he told of the tu
berculosis prevention, .ypnoia v.k-cj
nation and dental clinics. Ihe Re<
Cross cooperates and orwacds tli
work of the health' unit in Xowb"ir
and renders assistance as in the cas
of a family where the mother a- 1 tw
(children were ill and had m nione
for medicine. The Red Ci\??s \yil
! pay the actual expenses for fillings

Miss Margaret Burton had prepared
an amusing and delightful voting
contest, in which Mrs. Kinard was
voted the most delightful hostess and
Miss Burton herself carried off the
j honors of being both the "ugliest"
and the "prettiest" lady in the house,
j There was a great de^l of merriment
j over the voting. Miss Fannie Kam]
age was voted the most popular wo!
man in Newberry, and indeed it
seems that this is the case.
At the close of tis delightful hour

j was served by the popular hosted
j assisted by Mrs. Bryson, Mrs. McFall
i and Miss Margaret Burton.
Mrs. H. M. Bryson was named by
Mrs. J. L. Keitt as a new member of
i the club, following the business meet
ing.
It was a most delightful occasion
| and as these meetings are of weekly
! occurrence one can easily see why

bound together, for no one attend'

rHE RED CROSS BUDGET
EXPLAINED BY MISS GOCGANS .
' I
An explanation of the Red Cross
budget for Newberry county may De
n order. The public health nurse's
;ransportation means the running ex- I
penses and upkeep of the Red Cross
"John Henry" used by Miss Lightsey.
rhe car is now in its second year and
$300.00 is the minimum amount
needed for it.
Through^the public health unit and
the cooperation of the dentists a den
* t f xl
tal clinic Has Deen arranged ior xne
school children of the town and
:oupty. Dr. Kne^ce, Miss Lightsey
and a dentist have been making dental
examinations at schools. The
children whose teeth need attention
ind whose people are unable to pay
for the treatment are to have the ;
work done by a dentist "on Dental)
31inic day. The local Red Cross will '
-" " onfnol A>/-vcf /vf ptrv. t.Hp. '
J&y uic avtuui wow v/x
service of the dentists being free.
For the last two years the iied j
Cross has had no home service secre-1
;ary. Since the Clean-Up squad did!
ts work and diseases generally have 1
ittacked the men exposed in the war,
;he need of a secretary has become
0 great that the American Legion and
he Red Cross have agreed to employ
1 secretary on a fifty-fifty basis.
Frequently an ex-service man has
lot received his compensation and is
n need of money to get to a hospital1
ror treatment or examination. The
?ed Cross chapter has kept on hand
i fund whereby money may be loan;d
and returned when the government
noney has been received. The monly
thus kept in circulation comes
>ac1i to the chapter to be loaned over
igain.
Last year the Southern Division of,
;he Red Cross aided in 47 disasters
vhich included a wide variety of ca-|
amities: fire, fllood, cyclone, ex)losions,
etc. Newberry has no guartntee
of immunity to such disaster,
rhe first organization to assume reiponsibility
at such a time is the Red
>oss whose disaster preparedness
ommittee stands organized to meet
uch emergency. Money for such
vork must be at all times available.
One half the dollars of all member-',
ihips whether $1.00, $5.00, $10.00,
>50.00 or $100.00 is sent to the na;iona!
JRed Cross and the rest is used
it home. The organization work of
he American Red Cross is universal
n scope and world wide in fame.
People have said they wanted to
oin the Red Cross but did not know
vho would take the money; so an op>ortunity
will be given to all on Satirday.
A Red Cross booth will be
>n Main street and girls and ladies

how we should go about our forma
tion and Mrs. *'loyd read a letter to
the chairman and ladies giving all the
aims and objects of the. foundation
from the general president of the
Foundation, Mrs. Clarence Crittenden
Calhoun.
She showed in what way the Woman's
National Foundation can help
the women of the country, spoke of
the new responsibilities which came
