Honea Path Wins
I Up-State Crown
Hock Hill, Nov. 28.?Honea Path
high school's smooth)/ working eleven
overcame a stubborn Wiuthrop
training school' goal lino defense hero
this afternoon and copped the upstate
CIuhb B football championship, 2u to
'0.
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.

The control of any disease in a
community requires the cooperation
of all the people. This cooperation

methods "of their spreftd. A cold is
a common infection oi anjk part of
the respiratory tract, especially the
nose or throat. Cases of pneumonia
are often preceded by obstinate
pneumococcl, colds, the principle
means of Infection by contact, are
droplets expelled by violent coughing,
sneezing, loud talking, hard laughter
and spitting. Crowding also increases
the danger of Infection. In order
to prevent as far as possible the
spread of colds, the City Board of

to attend any public gathering. Those
free of colds should avoid contact
with those Infected and be careful of
