Hampton Sidelined Richard Hampton, the Red Devil’s shifty, springfooted quarterback, had to be taken oft Clinton’s active list when he received a broken collar bone in the B & L game. •Hampton had played in 33 games (all the games for the last three years and the games this year) and had never received the slightest in jury but only two games away from his last high school grid encounter '• fate caught up with him. Richard was the spark plug of the | team and held the boys together. 1 His playing ability ranked second ! to the genius he displayed as a field | general. Although the Red Devils are un- : defeated they will miss Richard very ' badly in their next two games (Hon- ! ea Path and Newberry).
