Junior Panthers Wallop tue Leeds
 High Eleuen, 26-O

Leeds, October Special )-The Junior Partners of Simpson school triumphed over the Leeds aggrega- ton Friday afternoon by the count of 26 to in battle featured by the excellent work of the visitors line. The Leeds backs were unable to penetrate the forward defense of the Simpson clan, a forward pass net ing the only real gain of the after noon.
 The line plunging of Hammonds, Simpson fullback was the outstand- ing performance of the visitors backfield, while Godbee and Jackson shared the glory of the rear. Ham monds never failed to gain. except on a tumble, and plowed through the Leeds linemen for consistent ad- vances on numerous occasions. His tendency to run high Is the only fault of the Simpson fullback.
 Mitchell Leeds Star
 Mitchell, fullback for Leeds, played the star role for the local eleven, all though his few gains availed the Leeds crew very little. Clarence Roberts, quarterback, ran the team well and his experience aided the locals materially. Tom Farley, on end. displayed good form.
 Red Tanner, Junior Panther end. was injured on the first kickoff, but got back into the game toward the last. Red showed up well In the short time he played in the last quar- ter.
 Fair. Barnes and Strickland, in the Junior Panther line. were bulwarks of strength and threw back the op- position whenever the Leeds backs attempted to buck the ball through.
 Sid Godboe skirted end on two oc- casions for gains of 25 yards for touchdowns. while he and Charlie Hartsf1eld showed considerable speed in circling around the Hanks when evor they ran with the ball. Ham, monds broke away for 40 yards off tackle for the longest gain of the game. He was the only back who played the entire game.
 Whittle went off left tackle for 15 yards and a touchdown for the last Junior Panther counter. This lad seems to get a great deal of drive in his line bucking. and with more experience may develop into a star back.
 Thomas Injured
 An injury to Thomas in the first quarter prevented his running with the ball to any extent. but the Simp- son captain ran the team at guar terback well until he gave way to Jackson in the fourth period.
 Lineup and summary: Simpson (26)--Center, Yarbrough; guards Fair and Barnes; tackles. Veasey and Strickland; ends, Tanner and Hodges; quarterback. Thomas (Cap- tain): halfbacks. Godbee U2l and Jackson @; fullback, Ham monds (6).
 Leeds (o)--Center. Aders; guards Smith and Howard tackles. q. Harts- field and Ellington; ends, Farley and Sedgewick; quarterback. Roberts (captain): halfbacks. Edwards and Adkins: fullback Mitchell.
 Substitutions-For Simpson. Pou for Tanner. Hartsfield for Godbee WhittleI (6) for Hartsfield, Godbee for Jackson for Thomas, Tanner for Pot, Hamilton for Whittle. Crawford for Tanner. Fontaine for Godbee for Hodges, Malloy for Veasey.
 For Leeds--Lehner for Howard witmire for Sedgewick. Bailey for Witmire.
