! SUMTER WINS
IN ORANGEBURG
-
'High School Team Defeats
Orangeburg bv Score
of 18 to 6
I Orangeburg, Nov. 14.?One of the
i main features today at the Orange
1 burg county fair was the football
'game between Orangeburg high and
j Sumter high. Although outweigh
ed about ten or 15 pounds by Sum
ter, and picked to lose by four
touchdowns at least, Orangeburg
made Sumter fight here today to
'win her game, the final score be
ing 18 to 6. Orangeburg played
well in the first quarter and held
the Sumter team blank, but early
in the second quarter by line plays,
mixed with passes Sumter scored its
first touchdown. Both teams
counted in the third quarter, but
Sumter had the edge on the local
team both in line plays and for
. ward passing. Sumter scored again
in the fourth quarter by forward
passes, making the final score 18 to
j 6. Two long passes which were
I caught by Captain Albrecht of the
i Orangeburg team, mixed with sev
! eral line plays, gave the locals its
j counter, in the third quarter. The
?spectacular work of Captain Al
brecht and that of Kirven for
Sumter were the outstanding fea
tures of the entire game. Kirven
proved to be one of the best
ground gainers seen here this year,
and the work of Albrecht stood out
I with equal prominence. Besides
Kirven, the playing of Rivers,
Blanding and Cato also featured.
Kirven caught several passes and
made long gains for Sumfer. Be
sides Albrecht, the work of Keitt
and Blanton and that of Sykes
and Wright was good. Orangeburg
j played its best game of the season.

committee for the handling of this I
branch of the work. To that end I
the executive board of the league J
! created the charity committee j
I which will take over this phase of j
I the work under the guidance of
! Mrs. Chester F. Korn, who has con
| sented to act as chairman of the j
j committee. j
The league is highly gratified to
have Mrs. Korn act in this capac-J
ity, feeling that her many years j
of training and experience in so-J
cial work in Chicago, Cincinnati
and other large centers will assure
beyond question the wise and ju
dicious administration of the af
fairs of this department.
The funds for the carrying on
of the work will be solicited from
the. citizens at large, and already
many men and women have de
clared their willingness to con
tribute for the benefit of those*less
fortunate than themselves.
May I urge our people to re
spond to this effort of the Civic
League and to give of their money
I and their moral support for a most
worthy cause. '? |
