Indians Slip To 28-6 Victory By BOBBIE BAKER Rain and mud made a sloppy turf which was a factor in pre venting the Indians from scoring in a hectic first half but Newber ry fought back strong in the final half to stun Guilford’s home-com ing crowd with a 28-6 victory at Guilford last Saturday night. The entire first half was played in a drizzle of rain, which be came quite heavy. Guilford held Newberry on downs after the kickoff and then the Redskins held the Quakers for no gain. Halfback Paul Davis burst loose for 19 yards after Guilford kicked. Tyler Dufford then hit the Quaker line for 12 more yards. At this point quarter back Steve Peterson, back to pass, was hit hard just before the ball left his hands by Guilford’s cen- Ken Rich. Guard James Robin son caught the loose ball in Guil ford’s 20 and raced 80 yards for a touchdown behind good blocking. The point after touchdown by Morris Jester was wide. Newberry threatened late in the first period as halfback Tyler Duf ford galloped 60 yards at the Guil ford 31, being caught from behind. A Dufford to Davis pass good for 21 yards put Newberry inside the 10. But in four plays the Quakers took over at their one-foot line. The Quakers took the kickoff to begin the second half and half back John Marconey fumbled on the eight. Newberry’s guard James Flemming recovered Quarterback Steve Peterson broke through to score two plays from five yards out. Wyman Taylor converted. After the kickoff Guilford was forced to punt. Tyler Dufford re turned the Quaker punt 14 yards to Newberry’s 36. On the first play Davis broke loose on a bril liant 64-yard touchdown sprint. The try for point failed. The Quakers, with their backs to the wall, were forced to punt. Dufford returned the kick to the Guilford 33. Later the Indians sent Davis across from the 14- yard stripe. Terry Dukes convert ed. ' Early in the fourth period a re covered fumble by end Lee LeOTy set up another Indian touchdown at the Guilford 42. From that point the Indians mounted a drive with a great catch by end Sam Faulk of a Peterson 20-yard pass put them on Guilford’s one.-Duf ford fell across from that point. The extra point try failed. The Indians got a safety late in the fourth period with Coach j Harvey Kirkland, playing his third team.

"I REMEMBER” BY THE OiD TIMERS From Clara Hyer Nichol, Bu- channon. West, Va.: I remember Elk River, W. Va., and Clay coun ty of the same state when we de pended on the river for our livli- hood. There was no railroad so the men cut logs and hauled them to the river by horse and ox team and then made rafts held by strap ping poles and secured by chains. When the heavy rains came, the river rose and the logs were rafted into Charleston where these rafts of the finest timber — white and red oak, poplar and black walnut —were sold for the sum of $40.00. Today, if you had one of those rafts, it would easily bring $3,000 at the current price of lumber. My father was an expert river- man and started many rafts down the river. He always carried a canoe on his raft in which he brought back goods for the local merchants, such as green coffee that you parched yourself and barrels of brown sugar. We raised most of the things necessary for our livlihood. Our clothing was mostly linsey and jeans. Our shoes for school were made by a country shoemaker— in the summertime children went barefooted. We grew up a healthy, happy bunch. Our recreation consisted of box and pie socials, bean string- ings, apple cuttings, log rollings, corn huskings and serenading the newly-wed 'couples in the com munity.

But that sum mer as they’d dance, his dark arm about her tiny waist, her taffy colored head so close to his, every body said it was meant to be. I admit, I even had a few goose pimples when I saw them to gether. It certainly was a love match. But you see, my brother, Sara Ann’s father, runs the bank and dabbles in politics. Gfl Powell’s father farms at the edge of town and owns one of the finest herds of Angus in the state. But he dabbles in politics too — on the other side of the fence I Most everybody seemed to think the chasm could be spanned by true love. But when a boy and a girl have heard nothing but one side of the story for over 20 years you can’t expect either to take a sensible point of view to a subject, especially if the moonbeams hap pen to get wiped from their eyes just about election time! So they went ahead and got married de spite my plea that they wait and have a nice Thanksgiving wedding, after the election. "We’re too old to be influenced by our fathers any more! Besides, we’ve made a pledge to ignore politics," GUI grinned and pulled her to him, brazenly kissing her right in front of me. "Campaign promises!" I snorted. "You're Just miffed," GUI laughed, "because we haven’t had a quarrel yet, and you were the one who predicted it wouldn’t last!" Gil had taken over the farm by now. His folks had moved into town and the kids were living it up in the big old family house about a mile out of town. Sara Ann called or I called her every few days. I sometimes took a batch of hot bread and went out to spend the day with them. Sara Ann was Church, will bring the closing address. Officers of the convention are Dr. J. H. Simpson, Ridge Spring, president; Dr. E. F. Haight, An derson, and the Rev. A. Howard Wilson, Greenville, vice-presi dent; the Rev. H. Floyd Surles, Columbia, secretary; Dr. Ollin J. Owens, Greenville, assistant sec retary, and Dr. Charles F. Sims, Columbia, treasurer. having the time of her life, dec orating the old house and Gil, in his spare time was paneling a big basement room in knotty pins. It was going to be a combination recreation room and office for him. It was then I noticed the little worry wrinkles that formed in Sara Ann’s white forehead and her near hysterical laugh that accompanied her remark. So! Something was wrong despite the careful gaiety of the occasion. When I got back into town I dis covered the fire was getting fuel from an outside force. I soon dis covered that Gil's dad had pointed out that cattle prices were down, due, naturally,, 1 to gthe present bungling mismanaged administra tion. He had also explained that there was going to be little money to make any major changes in the old house and he surely had hinted that it’s an unthinkable wife who does not vote the way it strikes her husbands pocket book. And evidentally a lot of this had seeped through to Sara Ann. To Complicate the matter, Sara Ann's father had spoken to her of her sacred duty as a voter. He had hinted that only a weak spined female would give up her life long convictions because of a husband. To top it all off I went out on election day and found Sara Asm locked in the basement When GUI came in she practically accrued! him of locking her in so aha couldn't go vote. "AH right! Fm going to take yoo| into town to vote—," Gill said curtly. "Oh, Gill — NO — Fm sorry for what I said. Oh, darling, you gm on in and vote, I don’t care!" And as I saw the moonbeaznat return to their eyes I knew it Wi A > ■ time for me to get out It wasn’t for me to tell them Fd seen then* each come in and .vote earlier hv the day without letting the other one know.
