| Pennington Gets Touchdown. =
Pennington High Schools foot
ball players Saturday journeyed
to far on ,Smithfield to play ball.
Having never heard OF the Smith
field High School football team,
they figured they were about due
to win a game. The reason they
had never heard Of the Smithheld
team, however, was not that 1t was
a team to be despised, but rather
tfat Smithfeld is so far from here
that news Of its hefty football
team had never travelled this far
over the West Virginia hills. So
when tho local warriors lined up
on the smithfeId gridiron for the
game they were rather surprised
when they saw some real beef"
in front Of them. But not dis
mayed they went into the game,
and although they did not win,
they accomplished the hitherto
unknown, and scored touch
down for themselves. The final
count for Smithfeld was 81.
Pennington scored seven points,
the first seven points ever made
by Pennington High School In the
royal plgskin game. Smithheld
was a big team and powerful, and
for Pennington to have made its
first score against them is no
small feather In the local bonnet.
Delbert Kerns Is the hero, and 1t
Is considered fitting that he
should have been, for in all the
games Pennington has played
this fall, his playing has been the
most prominent.
