The visitors presented a bewilder[_ lng array of qulnnera. double and triple pasgos which mystified the training school team all the way. Time after time Ahe Honea Path bucks would sweep around the ends untouched for long gains but when the goal line > wus approached the training school would preseut a stubborn defense. The Hock Hill lads' offense flushed for a brief moment In the opening minutes of play as Cherry Beatty dashed around end for several gains but the Ilonea Path boys soon found themselves and started a drive which netted the first touchdown midway of the second quarter. Led by H. Latimer, the visitors drove deep intd1 Winthrop territory early in the second period and Honea Path earned a flrst down oil the W. *1. S. 2-yard line. Four tries netted but a yard and the ball went over. Pursley kicked out to his 20-yard line on first down but Honea Path was oflBide. On the next play Beatty was thrown tor a 6-yard loss and Pursley's second kick was partially blocked, rolling out of bounds on the W. T. S. 1-yard stripe. Three plunges at the iine failed to carry the ball across but on fourth down H. Latimer slammed through to score. The try for point failed and Honea Path led 6 to 0. In the third quarter the Honea Path lads started another drive which netted a second touchdown when H. Latimer again plunged over on fourth down after the stubborn training school defense had thwarted three efforts at a score from the 3-yard line. H. Latimer swept around left end for the extra point. Another concerted drive in the final Quarter was climated when Gambrell, captain and right end, came around on an end around play to score. A pass from H. Latimer to pambrell was good for the extra pointT" < Statistics showed that Honea Path earned 16 first downs to 5 for the training school. Honea Path was penalized 25 yards while W. T. S. did not draw a penalty. Honea Path gained 2'JG yards to 105 for Winthrop. Cherry Beatty was again the star for the training school team, playing a jamup defensive game and doing most of his team's ground gaining. For the Honea Path team H. Latimer led the attack and was given excellent blocking by his mates in the backfield and line. Gambrell played a stellar game at end for the winners while the entire Honea Path line combined to keep Beatty bottled up except for his Bpurt in the flrst quarter. One of the features of the game was the grim goal line standd exhibited by the losers. In midfleld the Honea Fath attack gained ground almost at will but in the shadow of the goal the Winthrop line rose to the heights. The winners' line was never called on to withstand u, serious goal line threat. Honea Path and Camden will meet Friday for the r state championship. Lineup and summary: Pos.
