Edgefield School News. Our
Boys Win Spirited Game.

Saturday afternoon, at the fair
grounds, the Edgefeld graded school
gave Johnston a second decisive
beating, the score being s7-7. The
game belonged to Edge6eld from
the beginning and the question was
not will we VIM" but how much
will we VIM" Edgefeld made six
touch-downs, but owing to the ball's
being wet, kicked goal but once.
Johnston's only touchdown was
really due more to luck than to real
foot ball. In some unaccountable
manner Lott eluded the whole Edge
field team and ran for a touch,
down from kickoff. Padgett made
one touchdown for Edgefeld by
skirting right end for twenty yards.
The remaining five were made by
Cheathaln either around the ends or
straight through the line.
Lott and Monroe played the best
game for the visitors, while Deal,
an Edgefeld boy, substituting for
a Johnston man was easily their
next best. With the exception of
Porter and Cheatham, all the Edge
field team played a good game.
Good is not good enough for these
two; for they played brilliantly,
both Extensively and defensively.
They were our most consistent
ground gamers, but Padgett also
made some good runs. Britt pulled
down Johnston forward pass at
one time and captured the ball
again after the visitors had punted.
Neither side held the other for
downs; each was forced to punt
once. Johnston gained twenty yards
on forward pass at one time but
could work it no more. Edgefeld
depended on straight foot ball, try
ing only one short pass which was
incomplete.
The attendance was good, in
spite of threatening weather. Every
one come to our next game. -
humbling of a chesty rival s.
