The title game was scheduled for Columbia Saturday4'but probably will be postponed of necessity. A fSlippery ball made passing almost impossible. Each team attempted but one aerial in the ftrst three periods. In the closing minutes of play, however, both cut loose with forward passes but such attacks failed miserably. Chester ran up six ftrst downs to Eftsley's four. Each team made one serious scoring threat, but strong line plays always turned back the attempts. Chester had the advantage throughout the first half but the Pickens county boys came back strong in the last two periods. Both lines played well. Easloy had the best of the kicking duels, while Chester gained more ground from scrimmage, First Baptist Churcfc Services The following services are announced at the First Baptist church.
