Lightfoot Puts Over Final Blow Smllln' "Rubber" DuRose really staged a blltihrteg on the fteabotord polo are* last Sunday afternoon when, with his fellow Townera, seemingly lost somewhere In the pall of dust overhanging the field came out of the haze to offer an exhibition of sharpshooting that gave the spectators something to go bugs over. He was back In the stride that put him In the ranks of high scorers last season and he really went places with his mallet in this, the second game of the Drum series. His fine riding was comparable with that of his sharpshooting. Rut while DuRose was ringing the bell to register four goals and keep the Towners in the race, sending the ba'tlo into an extra chukker, it was Rig Chief Lightfoot who tucked In the sudden-death score in the seventh frame to cop the game for Country and send the series into a third fracas next Sunday. Country served notice early in the game that it was out for blood. Joe Rates drove over the counter that, gave his team a 1 to 0 lead at the first bell. In the second DuRose's first score of the afternoon tied up the count but the Country riders roared back to take a 3 to 1 lead when Chief Lightfoot spanked the willow between the uprights twice. i In the third period Harrison put the Towners back in the running with a goal while Country was held scoreless. In the fourth Tupper put Country into a 4 to 2 lead as Town was whitewashed. Each team scored in the fifth, with DuRose registering for j Town and Tupper for Country. Going J into the sixth it looked like a Country j i win for certain with Town trailing 3 . i to 5. But DuDose proceeded to stage ! his blitz, poking over two counts while ^ \ his defense held the Country riders < scoreless. j The big crowd stuck to their seats '' as the team went into the sudden; i death period. It was a nip and tuck.ji furious riding, beauflful blocking and ( long stuff over two mjnutes. Then, j1 following a scrimmage near the Town J j ?oal, Lightfoot spurred In, saw the ' ball dribbling north of the goal, made a beautiful back hand alaah and the * game was over with Country winning. This week-end thMe same teems will battle again. Towh ^yon the first same 5 to 3. In total points scored rown has 10 and Country 9. Lancaster Seeks $75,000 Damages Chairman Stafford Sapp of the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners has contacted Col'. Bedinger with regard to the Tepalr of Lancaster county roads and bridges damaged by the army maneuvers. Col. Bedluger Informed Mr. Sapp that $1,000 was the limit of expenditure which the army was not permitted to exceed In any one case where damages have been done. He advised Mr. Sapp to take the matter up with Congressman Dick Richards a'hd Senator Burnet R. Mayhank in view of getting some kind of an appropriation from the Congress. It Is conservatievly estimated that on the roads of Lancaster county. It It will require $75,000 to repair and replace bridges and put top soil back on the roads of Lancaster county. It appears that this county has suffered the most severe damages suffered by any county in the South Carolina area since It has been the criss-cross grounds for tho army moving constantly In and out of concentration areas over tills county's roads. Mr. Sapp advised the News that his office will do everything possible to get" these roads repaired and tho bridges replaced as quickly as Is possible after the maneuvers are over tnd that everything will be done that is possible to do to get the cost of such repair work paid by the federal government. Mr. Sapp pointed out that it would he unfair to tax our people in South Carolina by an appropriation by the legislature to replace the roads and bridges throughout the South Carolina maneuver area when the damage waa clone by the army.?Lancaster News.
