enty-five students and several auto
loads of friends journeyed to Clarks-
vile, to play the Cheatham high
school team Of GAINESVILLE. The
GAINESVILLE, team won the game by
the score of 26 to but the Paris
boys are receiving the congratula-
lions of their friends for the excel
lent showing they put up before
their more experienced opponents
as this is the first year Gibbons
high school of Paris has ever par
ticipated in football, and this was
their first, while the GAINESVILLE
school has played it's second seas
on. Paris boys put up determin-
ed fight but the odds were against
them. Three of the four touch
downs made by GAINESVILLE came by
way of the forward pass. At several
stages of the game, what seemed to
be almost certain victory was snat-
ched away from the Paris team. At
one time, Cone, half back for Paris
carried the ball across for touch
down only to be denied of the vic
tory by the referee who claimed
that the time of the quarter ex-
pired as Cone was speeding towards
the goal. At another time, the
Paris team was penalized rs yards
for being off side, the ball being
placed on Clarksville's goal line.
The GAINESVILLE team was also pen
allied six times for smuggling. Coach
DR.. F. d. Ramsey and the Asst.
Coach and Director of Athletics.
Prof. B. H. Graham deserve great
credit for developing team after
only three weeks of training who
can make such a showing against
team of two years experience.
