The Thornwell Orphanage eleven smashed and battered its “scrubs” all over the Presbyterian college gridiron Tuesday in preparation for their titu lar contest with Mullins in Columbia Friday. The “Fighting orphans” were on the defensive for the most of the after-, noon while their second team, rein forced by one or two Presbyterian college players, used Mullins* plays in their efforts to hurl bsek the varsity men. The scrubs met with little suc cess, however, as the varsity eleven was keen on diagnosing the forma tions used by Mullins, and quick on smearing the plays before they were well under way. Rarely did the scrubs get by the first line of'defense,, and when they did they were usually met by Earl Dunlap, whose hacking up of the Ime has been the keynote to the Orphans’ great defensive record for the past season. .Only two teams, out of the ten that the orphans have played this year, hive been able to push over a touch down through the stamart defense displayed 4>y the Thornwell men. In the meantime Thornwell has crossed the last white marker no less than 62 times this sesaon, for the grand to tal of 4f2 points includijtg points af ter tyychdowns, safeties, etc. The Thornwell team went through another strenuous scrimmage yester day afternoon in order to put the fin- ishinig touches on its offensive wea pons. The team is now taking things easy until they faqe Mullins in Colum bia. Should the Orphans win there is some talk of a post season game. But nothing is being consioMed until after the winner of the class B champion ship has been definitely determined. The announcement on the part of the Columbia high school officials that their team will indulge in no post season games comes as a distinct dis appointment to many fans in the up per part of the state who believe that the Orphans are capable of defeating the Capital’s team this season.
