McCormick people and others ov er the country will be interested to know that John Thomas McGrath, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. McGrath of McCormick, and who is a stu dent of Belmont-Abbey of Belmont, N. C., made the only touchdown of the game between his team and the Richmond Academy team in Au gusta last Saturday, thereby bring ing the victory to his team. The following account of the game, written by Bob Parks, was publish ed in The Augusta Chronicle of Sunday: A blocked punt, spinning from £)an Weigle’s toe, gave Belmont- Abbey the break that enabled che North Carolinians to defeat Rich mond Academy in their clash yes terday, 7 to 0. It was near the end of the sec ond quarter when Murphey, Bel- mont-Abbey’s big captain end, sped in from his position and blocked a punt. A North Carolina player captured the ball on Rich-, mond’s 35-yard line. From here Abbey started a drive which re sulted in the only touchdown of the game. The visitors thwarted, every at tempt at a sustained offensive, and the Richmond backs found it a dif ficult task to dig their way through into Belmont-Abbey territory. The local cadets had '‘their golden chance in the last quarter when they stabbed their way through to Belmont’s 19-yard line. A fumble and a grand ruSh by Abbey players which smothered an attempted pass, however, ended this last- minute threat on the part of the Musketeers. The game yesterday was a real treat in the way of football by comparison with the two riots of the preceeding weeks when Mad ison A. & M. and G. M. C. smother ed the Musketeers under over- whelniing scores. • The Richmond Academy and Belmont-Abbey elevens were well- matched, and had it not been for the blocked kick a scoreless tie might have been the final out come. Passes Smothered Richmond’s vaunted forward passing attack was completely nullified by the alert Belmont backs. The cadets tried on a num ber of occasions to gain ground by means of flipping passes, but the only one completed was caught out of bounds and went for naught. Their air raids throttled, the Musketeers had to resort to line thrusts but the concerted efforts of Weigle, Graybill, Force and Hayden was not enough to give the locals a touchdown. * The fine defensive play exhibited by both elevens forced the game into a class of a punting duel, with Feldman and Weigle successfully upholding their duties in this de partment. The outstanding moment in the fray came when Murphey hurled himself in front of Weigle’s punt in the second quarter. With the ball on Richmond’s 35-yard line, Joe Briggs, plunging Belmont-Abbey halfback, hurried around right end for five yards. Doyle failed to gain on a play through center and then skirted left end for a couple of yards. McGrath crashed center for a first down on Richmond’s 23- yard line. Briggs carried the ball around right end for three yards, and on a delayed buck made another yard. Bruggerman smashed the center of the line for a yard. McGrath lunged through the center of the line for another first down on the Apademy’s 12-yard line. The Richmond line piled on Bruggerman and smothered his rush through center. Doyle tried left end with no avail, but Mc Grath slipped through right tackle for eight yards, placing the ball on Richmond’s four-yard line. The Musketeers held McGrath on the next play and would have received the ball but the Academy was pen alized for offside and the ball rested on the Musketeer’s one-foot line. McGrath had to stab the line twice before he went over the goal line for a touchdown. Briggs faked a kick and went over the line with the ball to register the extra point. A. R.

November 7, 1931. To All County Game Wardens: I recently mailed you copy of opinion from the Attorney Gener al’s office providing that "nets or other devices for txie collection of fish cannot oe used in the clear waters of the State at any time.” Due to the fact that heretofore we have allowed people to use nets from September to May for the purpose of catching non-game fish in the clear water streams, t think it would be well for you to immed iately inform the public, through your county newspapers, concern ing the recent opinion of the At torney General, by which we are bound; then, after giving due no tice, I expect you to enforce the law, but I do not wish to take ad vantage of the public on accounut of their not knowing the proper construction of the law.

Hall was released on bond soon after being brought to McCormick. Two negroes seen at the still made their escape. Briggs had punted, the Academy took the ball on its 48-yard line. “Lefty” Force skirted right end for a five-yard gain, and Graybill fol lowed with a four-yard plunge off tackle. Force made a first down on the 28-yard line. Force and Hayden lugged the ball to the 22-yard line, and two more stabs placed it on the 19-yard line. A fumble, and a rush by the Bel mont players when Force attempt ed to pass, put the ball back on the 29-;/ard line and Richmond’s chances of scoring wer^t to the four winds. After a series of punts, Belmont- Abbey took the ball on its own 11- yard line and McGratJi started a series of rushes which carried the leather to Richmond’s 37-yard line before the game ended. McGrath, during this spree, reeled off gains of 15, 13, 11 and 9 yards. All of them were off-tackle plays. GREENWOOD, s. C.

CONVINCES JAMES DUNN acting his Porte James screen As a big business man, Dunn makes an excellent actor! This fact was revealed in his first interviews to the press fol lowing his engagement by Fox Films to portray the masculine lead in "Bad Girl” which comes to the Abbeville Opera House, Monday and Tuesday, November 16 and 17. According to Dunn, he once amassed $10,000 during a year of hard, honest toil as a salesman for a concern manufacturing roadside lunch wagons. • "I imagined I was all set for a career of prosperity and indepen dence,” Dunn sadly recounts. "The only thing that kept me from being a second Morgan was the lack of available sites for portable hot dog stands. I lost sleep trying to figure out ways and means of increasing the speed of my sales. "Then the big idea came to me. It was a gift from a well-meaning friend. You’ve guessed it—a stock market tip. It took just twenty minutes to wipe out the pool in which my hard earned ten grand was a drop. “But, after all, I’m glad. ‘ My going broke forced me to turn to the stage, since a job as cop in “Night Stick” was the first thing I heard of after receiving the bad news from my broker.” Sally Filers portrays the co-fea- tured title role in "Bad Girl,” which was directed by Frank Borz- age from an adaption of Vina Del- mar’s sensational novel.

C. feight State Departments Ask For M T ore Money BUILDINGS OF S. C. UNIVERS ITY IN NEED OF REPAIRS SAYS BAKER COLUMBIA, Nov. 7.—Nine insti tutions and departments of the state appeared before the bud get comrrpssion yesterday with re quests for 1932 appropriations. All save one asked for a larger sum than they were granted in 1931, but in most instances the request ed increases were,small. The University of South Caro lina, through Dr. L. T. Baker, act ing president, requested a total of $433,180 as against a lump sum of $385,000 appropriated in 1931. Last fall the university asked for $499,- 475. Repairs Needed — Dr. Baker said the amount was needed to provide for an enlarged student body and to make various repairs to buildings. M. F. Bush, of Ellenton, said the university gets a smaller appropriation per capita than any other state college. ✓ The state railroad commission asked $67,762. Last year it re ceived $66,757. J. W. Shealy, commissioner of agriculture, requested $92,517 as against $90,222 appropriated in 1931. J. M. Whitself, of Walterboro, chairman of the state board of fisheries, asked a total of $19,457, £s against $19,307 fdr the present yfear. Children’s Bureau The children’s bureau request ed an appropriation of $14,563, as against $14,763 appropriated in 1931. Adjutant General James C. Dozier asked $62,180 and for the service bureau $12,150, making a total of $74,330, as against $71,086 appropriated in 1931. The request for the state office building totaled $68,928, as against $67,628 allowed for this year. t x r More dairymen are feeding com mercial mixed feeds.

You can apply it with a swab, by sprinkling it on their backs, or by the use of hog oilers. x The nicotine-sulphate treatment is one of the best ways to control lice in poultry flocks including a large number of pullets, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Paint the top of the roosts with liqrid nicotine sulphate in late af- terroon just before the birds go to roort. The fumes will kill the lice during the night. The use of sodium-flouride dust for controlling lice on poultry necessitates hand ling the pullets. This frightens them^and may check egg produce tion* *" 1 — ' — r '- —"-o—
