NATIONS ACCEPT

Washington, Oct. "a (By the Asso

delegations. There is no doubt tha,
Secretary Hughes action, taken as /,

five governments, has been received

Formanl acceptance in some cases
may be delayed through the necessity
OF obtaining approval of either cab
met or congress.
The American invitation occupied
attention in Pan-American diplomatic
circles today to the exclusion of 9TH

and in government circles the feeling
prevails that step has been taken
which may bring results of a far
reaching nature with respect to in

Western hemisphere. Whether the
Central American conference will
prove stepping stone to subsequent
treatment of all Pan-American prob

Fridays Special to 4

Yep! Union is going to have an
other battle royal, this time with the
famed team representing the Thorn
well Orphanage. If you will recall. it
is this same team that essayed to lift
Union to the clouds and then allowed
them to drift, fall, skeeward or what
not. It is known fact that it acted
as a stimulant for the remaining
games on the scredule and caused us
to realized what football is.
Now this same team is going to
be here Friday, eth, and they are
expecting to win again and just as
handily. Well, if you could see
Coach Jeter's boys practising this
week, you would think---well, the
score will be walk away again, bat
this time with Union on the top side.
Yes, those boys are playing a game
of football and have the spirit that
admits that no one can beat them.
There is no question that Unions
team is now superior to last year.
With an added years experience and
with a larger coaching staff and with
the boys realizing what football
means, the team is a muchly improved
organization and bids to give the
hardest tussle for the victory.
Unions improvement is readily
realized when you look back over the
games played. The first game was
with Cowpens and was lost by the
score of 10 to 13. Played Newberry
the following Friday and defeated
them to 0. Played Spartanburg next
and latched them to the mast to the
tune Of 19 to 7. (This game made
the aged and the infirm forget their
discrepancies and shout with the
young). Spartanburg considered the
game with Union as practice game
and went home muchly disappointed.
Last Friday Union played the Has
toe school Of Spartanburg and de-
feated that school 13 to O. And when
the orphanae team plays here Fri
day, then there is no reason to believe
anything but that continued i'm
provement will be seen on the part
of Unions playing. The coaches, the
players, and many of the followers
of the game believe we are going to
get revenge for the humiliating defeat
Of last year, and send the orphanage
boys LONE a sadder, yet wiser aggre-
cation.
Come out and help the team, come
out and help your town. Above all
come out and help yourself to the
greatest entertainment afforded in the
confines of the domain.
