Chester-Easley Play
Second Tie Game
Spartanburg, S. Dec. fJ.?In ia
driving rain and ileet atorm the evenly.matched
Cheater and Kaaley
elevens, playing' Tor ?the upper-state
Class B football championship of the
State High School league, battled to
a scoreless tie for the second time
within a weekly
The four periods of smashing play
on the muddy field still left Camden's
opponent for the state title undecided.
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,
