McCormick High rolled along on the victory trail last Friday by downing Lincolnton High 6-0. The game was played in Lincolnton, Ga. Gable scored for the Pan thers in the third quarter. Mc Cormick threatened Lincolnton just before the half but failed to score until the opening minutes of the third quarter. McCormick’s ends, the Jennings brothers, played a bang-up game. The Panther blocking and teamwork was excellent throughout the , game. “Soil regeneration leads into livestock regeneration and from there Into human regeneration.” —Russel Lord, editor The Land.
