\ r. OCTOBER 2, 1924 THE CI4NT0M CHRONICLE. CLINTON. S. C. PRESBYTERIANS LOSE SEASON’S OPENING GAME Rally By Davidson Wildcats in Final Half Gives Them Victory Over Johnson’s Eleven. Game Played in Asheville Before Big Crowd. (From Sunday’s Asheville Citizen) ; Entering the second'half of its con test against the Presbyterian College football team at McCormick Field yesterday afternoon under a three- point handicap, as a result of a per fect placement kick from the playing field by Warner, the Davidson Col lege Wildcats stormed their way to victory by series of line plays, end runs, punts and occasional forward passes. The score was Davidson 15; Presbyterian College 3. Throughout the greater part of the first half the ball remained in pos session of the South Carolina players, Davidson being forced on the defen sive and seldom having an opening to display aggressiveness. A shift ing wind and a slippery field and ball prevented either team from opening its overhead attack to any degree of success. Davidson resorted to a puntinj gaxne iirthe Opennrg- perrods, the better of its opponents in dis tance; but was slow in recovering when punts were returned. A spirit of confidence and determi nation was seemingly instilled in the Davidson players between the halves by the coaches, and as they came upon the field for the final grind they were greeted by the strains of the col lege song. As the second half opened David son presented a different kind of Wildcats—they were aggressive, fighting desperately . and wading through the Blue Stocking line and secondary defense practically at $ill. On the other hand P. C. fought hard and with determination but the Wild cats avalanche was too much. Every bit of the scoring was sen sational- From Warner’s place kick from the 15 yard line in the first quarter which gave Presbyterian Col lege its first and only points through the contest, until. Hendrix had charg ed through a broken field for 35 yards for Davidson’^ second touchdown, fans were4fcp4^i tension, that knew no let-up or relief. After Presbyter ian College had scored its field goal, and the second half opened, by an ex change of punts and a fumble, David son got the ball on the Blue Stock- ihgs’ 15 yard line. Warner punted but the ball went low, struck a David son player and bounded back of the goal line. Summers attempted to re cover, but Warner beat him to the ball for a safety. The scoring of the two points seem ed to give Davidson a new life. With the ball in their possession they ad vanced by a brilliant display of back- field dash through Presbyterians’ line for four first downs. With the ball on the 36-yard line, Sappenfield passed to Davis who made a pretty catch, but was downed on Presbyter ians’ one-foot line. Black then went over for the touchdown and then kick ed goal.. The la’fet quarter opened with both teams exchanging punts with David son continuing to have the slight edge over Presbyterians’ punters. As the ball was on Presbyterians’ 45-yard line, Hendrix was sent around right end and the stands groaned as it looked as if he would be downed in his tracks, but he skirted through the line into the secondary defense and by spectacular side-stepping crossed the goal line for Davidson’s second touchdown. It was perhaps the most brilliant play of the game. Sappenfield pulled two pretty runs in the fourth quarter, one time being downed within the shadow of P. C.’s goal and another after breaking through for a 25-yard rap was called back when his linesmen were penaliz ed for off-sides. He was the particu lar star for the Wildcats during that period, sharing honors only with Bak er and Hendrix. Presbyterian College never threat ened to score seriously from the field. Only on one occasion they obtained possession of the ball on Davidson’s 20 yard line but the Wildcats held them for downs against an onslaught of a beaten but determined team. Their line played with brilliance, however, on many occasions cutting down end runs without gain but rare ly-with material losses. Outweighed by several pounds, Davidson clearly out-fought' its rival Presbyterians from the Palmetto state. With a backfield playing a scintillating offensive and defense game, especially showing its mettle Tn — “Sappenfield, Hemfrix and BrowrrT who charged the Blue Stacking line with appreciable results on nearly all occasions. But on the line, one' red headed Baker, stationed at left tackle was the bright star of the entire game. His playing passed the spec tacular on many occasions and he was terror in the ranks of the Presbyter ians. Breaking through the line and tearing up formations hardly before they got under way. But the balance of the Davidson line distinguished itself with plenty of glory. Pinkey, who relieved Bo- hannan on right end, falling on a punt within one foot of Presbyter ian’s goal, saved a possible touch down. Shortly before the game was over Coach “Monk” Younger sent in practically a new team of substitutes, but so little time was left it was un able to get into action. Long before the teams took to the field, the large covered grandstand on the east side of the field was com fortably filled, while the bleachers on the west side were filled with more than 200 students from Davidson Col lege with its band. Shortly after the start, both stands were filled and the crowd was three deep along the fence running along the field. Quite a number of Presbyterian College stu dents came up through the country to witness the game. The line-up and summary: Davidson •P. C. Davis, 1. e Bailey, 1. e. Baker, 1. t. .... .... ....

Any farmer who wanti an easy-to- grow, good-yielding h«y crop that i* relished by practically all forms of live stock will do well to plant at least a gmSll acreage of Sudan grass and to become acquainted with its habits and its valuable quality, thinks C. P. Black- well, agronomist at Clemson college Sudau grass, Professor Blackwell explains, is closely related to the cul tivated sorghums and is a compara tively new forage crop In this coun try. Lt was Introduced into the Unit ed States In 1909. In appearance It is taller, has broader leaves and Is entirely without the underground stems which make Johnson gross sm-h a bud weed on farm lambs. It grows to a height of 8 to 5 feet if seeded broudeast, and taller than this If planted In cultivated rows. It is gen erally seeded broadcast when grown for hay productions It makes a large yield of hay, the yield varying with the fertility of the land and the fer tilizer used, and ranging from one to eight tons of cured hay per acre. *The qimlH-y of this lmy~d8 about -IfliP Q-Xm^tgry,he_£elL "'quid- .is that of Johnson grass or Timothy. Practically all forms of live stock rel ish It and do well on It. It is easily cut and-Is not difficult to keep and handle. When sown broadcast for hay. about 30 pounds of seed per acre should be used. When planted in rows, the rows may be anywhere from 20 to 40 Inches ujwrt and 0 to 10 pounds of seed per acre will he suffi cient for planting. • If planted early In the season, several cuttings may be secured In one year. Secure Herd Bull When Demand Has Slackened Most fanners who buy herd sires wait until they need one and then rush out and get the first one they can lay hands on. And in this case, following the crowd Is the worst possible pro cedure. The successful breeder selects his herd sire when the demand Is light est, and gets a better bull at a’ lower price, says Professor H. A. Hooper of the state college ol^ agriculture, at Tthnca. Forehanded men neither patch their roofs .when It Is mining nor buy herd hulls when everyone else is doing the same thing. If a man needs a sire next spring, right now Is an excellent time to start looking for blm. says Professor Hopper. The eternal law of supply and demand works as well in regard to bulls as It does with any other commodity, he says, and the time to catch hears is when they .are nuj; not when everyone else Is bear-hunt ing. “So.” ’says Professor Hooper. “If a herd of cattle Is worth having, it’s worth a little time and trouble spent in looking up Its most important single unit, and the man who Is wise gets his herd sire all lined up while the other fellow is putting It oiT till he isn't so busy.” • (Copyright.)

He -could see something white and sprawling lu outline, lying partly In the road, partly in the grass. He scrambled from his rickety seat, and limped forward, then bent with a startled cry over the form of a girl. “She’s fainted, trying to get some water at the spring!” he, muttered. “But what's she doing way up here like this alone?" He harried to the spring, wet his handkerchief and bathed her temples. She regained consciousness with a shudder, and then with a low moan caught his aria; gasping, “Where— where am IT* “You’re all right, lass.

The next morning, early, he called Newton on the teleifirone, and Newtor answered coldly aft^r he heard the news. “T know who she Is; she’s the girl my uncle F.ert adopted. He died last week.

When he came In for breakfast, he found that peace had come, although the frail, pretty girl who looked at 1dm with tender eyes showed that she was suffering. “She’ll stay with us.
