Master William Shakespeare says:
"What fates impose, that men must
needs abide" The Abbeville high
school eleven went up against just
such a proposition as confronted King
Edward in Henry VI when he made
the above statement. With perfect
ly good game of football sewed up at
the close of the first half with the
team from Newberry Friday after
noon. Dame fortune deserted the
local team and her place was filled
for the entire second half by here
daughter, Miss Fortune.
In the beginning of the game Friday
Abbeville simply rushed Newberry
off their feet and scored the trst
touchdown in less than three minutes
after the ball was first kicked OH.
Big Galloway missed goal, however,
and the first quarter ended Abbeville
2; Newberry o.
In the second quarter after out
playing the visitors in every oppor-
tunity Tate made another touchdown
for Abbeville and Gallowty's toe was
Just right this time. Score at the close
of the first half; Abbeville 13; New
berry 0.
During the ten minutes intermission
between halves Daddy" Longshore,
Vernon Peele and some say Prof.
McTyeire Daniel, wigwagged to the
Newberry team that they were three
gentlemen who either claimed New
berry as their native heath or else
lad resided in Col. Aull's town for
spell and they would like to see
closer game, no matter how close so
long as they didn't beat Abbeville.
The message was delayed in trans
mission until just before the second
half opened and when received by
the Newberry warriors it evidently
read "Abbevillio delanda est or
or something similar for those New
berry swamp rabbits came back
strong in that fatal second half and
blocking a play attempted by Billy
Long knocked the ball from his
hands in their onslaught and Paris
captured the rolling pigskin for a
touchdown. Tarrant kicked goal max
ing the score Abbeville 13; Newberry
2.
This was enough to state the pride
of Daddy" Prof. Daniel and the
other preachers son, Vernon, but
this lone touchdown just gave New
berry a taste of blood and they didn't
stop until Hardman completed pass
back of goal for a second touchdown.
Tarrant was again on the job and at
the end of the third quarter the score
was Abbeville 13; Newberry ID.
The fourth quarter was the most
exciting of all. Both teams played for
all they were worth but the score re-
mained the same throughout the quar-
ter. Billy Long took advantage Of a
fair opportunity to kick field goal
but missed going over the horizontal
bar between goal posts by six inches.
Several of Abbeville's regulars
were out of the game, George Smith,
Fred Leslie, Allen Long, Jr. Foster
Barnwell, Jr., and Ashby Galloway,
but Abbeville did not play the jamb-
up ball they have been playing against
other teams this season. All Of us
have our off days and this was GER
tainly was an off day for the high
school eleven. The score might well
have been 20 to 0 in favor of Able
!, vile and nobody surprised but fate
was agin' US. Jack Bradley playing
gaurd for Abbeville showed up well
in tackling and Tate was again star
Tarrant was the shining star for New
