Game To Be Played Under Floodlights At College. Wilder’.s Squad

At seven-thirty Friday evening, on

ton high school Red Devils tangle
with tlw? Woodruff high boys.
, Coach Wilder’s squad has been
I working hard for more than a month
'now and is rounding out into shape-
,for a tough season which includes
, many of the really big teams of upper
I South Carolina. More than forty
I boys have been struggling for places
ion the coveted eleven, and 1939 prom
ises to be another year like the past
lone when Qinton soared to new
.heights in football in the state.
Many old faces will be missed—
Yarborough in the line—Hall King
in the Imckfield—and others who have
thrilled l<K-al fans with ground-gain

still has Trammell, FtVgiison, Sand-

Young, Hill, Pin.son, Dicus, and oth
ers from the 1938 squad.
Daily pep meetings have been held
at tho l(x*al sch(H)l, and the band 'is
polishing off the last rough edges for
the opening night. All in all, it
should be a colorful occasion, and
well worth the ticket price. Paste
boards arc 25c for students and 35e
for adults.
All local games this year will be
played at night, affording buiuiiesa
men an opportunity to see the
