Greenxii.e Downs Laurens.

The 14aurens high school foot ball
team met It's Waterloo on the fields of
Greenville last Friday afternoon, when
the Greenville high school team de-
feated them by a score of 27 to z. In
this game Laurens lads we're scored
on for the first time in two seasons.
They came back game, however, put
ting up no excuse except that the
GreenVille boys were just too much 70
them. The Lanrens boys put up a
good game, but were unable to cope
with the well oiled machine of the
mountain lads. This game put the
Laurens team "out of the money" for
the championship of the Piedmont.
This will likely be declared after the
baftle between the GreenSlle high
school and the Spartanburg team.
