LOCAL TEAM WINS
OVER GREENWOOD
4 Great Game Last Friday in Which
Locals Won by IL Score
OF II to 5.

A spectacular run of 10 yards by
Todd the Laurens fullback, through
the pigskin tussle last Friday between
the Greenwood High school team and
the local High school eleven. The
local squad won by the score of IL to
.. Though it was the first game of
the season and played under good
snappy throughout. Both teams We're
in good form and though the score
showed that the Laurens boys deliv-
cred better goods, it was by no means
a walkaWay performance
l-aurens made her first touchdown
in quarter No. 1. During this quarter
ii looked as if ;he home team would
win in smile. A series of strong
line bucks by the local backfield, Todd.
Little and Bolt pushed the pigskin to
Greenwood's two yard line. when Todd
with the ball securely snugged away
pushed over the whtcwash for the
first score of the battle The triumph
ant howl that splurged up from the
Laurens rooterS caused wireless ma
chimes all over the world to go wrong.
This expanded into a real rebel we'll
when Todd kicked goal. Score at end
OF first quarter, Laurens 6. Greenwood

In the second act. Rosenburg was
put in at quarter for the visitors.
There was nothing doing along scor-
ing line in this section of the game
but taken altogether. the Greenwood
boys showed that football was a part
OF their regular business. They
made some handsome endrun gains
and when the quarter ended the Lau-
rens boys could feel trouble ahead.
In the third quarter few good
gains through the centre. well mixed
with brilliant end runs by Baker, An
drews and Bolton. for Greenwood put
the hog-hide on Laurens' 1O-yard line
from which point Bolton, the visitors
fast half-back, smuggled it across for
a touchdown. Silence reigned on the
rooter's stand. Andrews failed to kick
goal. drizzling noise of gladness
came from the rooter's stand. Score
at end of third quarter, Laurens G.
Greenwood 5.
In the last quarter, Laurens buckled
up and after few minutes play some
good ground gaining by Todd and Lit
tie put the ball within 20 yards of tbe
danger line. A neatly handled play
put the ball in the arms of Little. who
scudded around the end for twenty
yard dash to the poles. for a touch
down, Todd failed to Kick goal. Right
mere came one of the most spectacular
plays in pigSkin history Greenwood.
by some excellent work had carried
the ball to within ten yards of the
goal. With but 10 seconds TO play,
tuck performance seemed the only
chance for the visitors. The forward
pass was tried. Andrews made n good
throw but Todd outmaneuvered him
y leap in the air, a caught ball a clear
held and good runner tell the tale
When within five yards of the goal he
eased up bit. and Barksdale. the
Greenwood center downed him. 1t was
lying tackle though and Greenwood
was ponaliZcd enough to place the
IaiI behind the goal. This made the
third touchdown Tor I.aureIs and end
