In the midst of Clinton’s most beautiful Indian summer in years, the weather man had to choose last Friday for his first real rain. And such wet rain; such a muddy field; and such a slippery ball. The whole affair was all wet as far as the Clinton Red Devils were con cerned. For Gaffney slusl^ through and around to score four toi^hdowns before the game was over. Of course, Clinton’s team was due for a alight let-down after rising to briliant Iheights against Easley the week be fore. Siomehow, though, we had ex pected a closer battle. Then the rains came. Perhaps that helped Gaffney’s victorious In dians. Perhaps not. Maybe it hind ered them. Good football teams at Gaffney are traditional, an annual custom. This year is no exception. They are big enough, plenty good, and play sound football. Clinton has nothing of which to be ashamed in losing to Gaffney. Most teams do. All the Red Devils need do is to exhibit their gridron wares more '' convincingly against Green wood tomorrow, and the fans will T forgive and forget. 7^ PASSING STORM. - - ' OF ■- CAMPAlGli^ BITTERNESS ABOVE THE HULLABALOO By LYTLE HULL particular election takes on added 1 significance because of present na- , tional and international conditions. ;TTie result of this election will vitally affect the lives of all of us, and tha future of our country.
