And Still She St^ds!
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.
