Union Wins Game

The Union High added another vic
tory to her list yesterday by defeating
the Cowpens eleven by score of 21
to 6. Cowpens made her only touch
down as a result of fumbled punt in
the third quarter. This is the first
and only score that has been made
AGAINST the Union team by either Of
the four high schools played this sea-
son.
In the second quarter, the local
team opened up with rush and soon
had the bali across the goal line. Two
more touchdowns were added in the
last half. Thomas made a fair kick
after each touchdown. The game was
well attended by both the town people
and the visitors who were in Union for
the Armistice Day celebration.

Car Turns Over Twice

A car driven by w. H. Thomas and
carrying Plummer Thomas, Robert
Berry and David Coleman to witness
he Furman- Carolina football game
in Greenville this afternoon, turned
over twice this morning about 10
o'clock near Cedar Hill school house,
seven miles out on the Cross Keys
road. Plummer Thomas suffered
broken collar bone and a scratch on
The forehead; Robert Berry was pin
ned under the car, but besides severe
bruises is not thought to be badly
hurt; David Coleman suffered a
sprained wrist; w. H. Thomas suffer-
ID only minor scratches, it is thought.
That the young men escaped with
their lives seems miraculous. The
car, in rounding a curve SIX dded in a
sand bar, one wheel smashed. The
car turned over twice. 1t is not
thought that any serious develop
mcnts will come. The yonne man
with the broken collar bone is thought
to be the worst hurt. He is in tn
Wallace Thomson hospital and has
been given surgical examination and
aid.
