ABBEVILLE WINS
FROM CLINTON
CLINTON'S DEFENSE FAILS A.
GAINST LOCAL TEAM WHO
PILE UP A BIG SCORE
TATE, ROCHE AND "HU:
TIE" STARS FOR
LOCAL TEAM .

Determined to get sweet revenge
from Clinton for the nasty drubbine
administered them by the giants from
Greenville the local high school boys
pile up a score of At points while
Clinton got the magic number of Z
points. The. one outstanding mistake
of the Abbeville team during the
game Friday was permitting Clinton
to score at all. = .....~ ..
The Clinton boys came about as
near the average weight of the locals
as any team which has visited Able
vile this season. Clinton's backfeld
stacked UP some ten or fifteen more
pounds per man than did Abbeville's
but the lines were about equal in
weight. .s, .. ..,..'.. ..-.-
The game Friday was another out
standing example of what practice
and experience are worth to team
and for just what they count in max.
ing successful team. Clinton showed
plainly that they had neither the ex'
perience nor the grilling training
which have contributed largely to the
wonderful success Of the Abbeville
boys who have won five games out OF
six played. ~.. -
Austin Roche, who hailed original.
ly from Alabama was a conspicuous
star for Abbeville in the Clinton
game. He was given plenty Of oppor.
tunities to fall down but in nine times
out of ten Roche delivered the goods
and was consistent gamer. Little
".Hutie" whose fame extends from
the Charleston swamps to the Wayn
esville mountains was at his best Fri
day. It seemed that he couldn't hell
completing passes if the ball came
anywhere in his direction, Tate, the
old reliable-it is said, practieet

'uftous Friday that supt. WitherspooI
who accompanied the Clinton boy
over for their beating was booking al
about at the reception that evening
for the Jap who was playing tackle
for Abbeville. Tate evidently uset
some Jiujitsu on the boys from thu
Blue-Stocking town.
For Clinton Copeland, quarter, ant
Smith, half back, were the individual
stars, although at times the Clintor
team pulled off some first class play
that made first downs.
Big Galloway for the locals kicked
five goals after touchdowns out o1
seven attempts.
Following the game Friday evening
the young ladies of the high schoo
entertained the Clinton team and thu
local team at delightful reception al
the hospitable home of DR.. and Mrs
G.. A. Neuffer. The evening was very
pleasantly spent by the young people
and DR.. and Mrs. Neuffer and :. the
!"gih" girls were graciously thanked
for their hospitality
The Clinton boys were all excellent
young gentlemen and in spite of thei'
overwhelming defeat they behaved
themselves at all stages Of the game
and afterwards in only true sports
manlike manner which won for then
the esteem Of their opponents.
