PHILLIPS DEFEATS COLUMBUS 12 TO Q
Both Teams Play Good Ball In Saturday Morn-
 ina Game

In a hard fought game at Rick wood Saturday morning Phillips igh defeated the strong Columbus, Ga, High team by the score of 12 to o. The game was exciting throughout and there were many very tense mo- ments for the followers of both teams as each team threatened to cross their opponents goal several times.
 Both teams resorted to the forward pass several times. In the early part of the game Columbus tried a pass after they had recovered tumble on Phillips 25yard line and had been unable to make their downs, but Gravlee intercepted it and carried it to his own 43yard line.
 A few minutes later Phillips worked long forward pass that took the ball to their opponents 11-yard line and so made possible their first touchdown, scored by Grill.
 Columbus received, passed for 30 yards, and made 15 around right end on the next play. They were penal ized for Holding. but made the dis tance back on pass, which gained 20 yards. Phillips held and Newsom tried d drop kick, which was short and fell into Holders arms on the five-yard line. Holder made a pretty run, carrying the ball to the 45-yard line.
 After making two first downs, one on a forward pass, Phillips had a pass intercepted by Harbuck, who tore off 30 yards, getting the ball out of his own danger zone He com pleted one pass, but Phillips held and he punted to the 20-yard line On the next play Columbus recovered tumble and had the ball on Phil lips nine yard line. Harbuck fumbled on the succeeding play, Holder re- covered and carried it to his own 33- yard line. Grill then made 90 and followed 1t up with a beautiful pass to Sanford, who was downed on Co., lumbus' 10-yard line. On three bucks Phillips carried the ball over Holder scoring the touchdown after a four yard buck.
 In the second half Columbus came back with lots of fight and Phillips was unable to score again. Thoma- son, who went In for Hill at right tackle when Hill was injured early In the first quarter, played a great game and deserves a great deal of the credit for the visitors, holding as well as they did in the last half.
 The visitors threatened once in the third quarter when they recovered a tumble on Phillips 30-yard line and carried it on series of bucks by Knight, their hard hitting fullback. to Phillips eight-yard line. Phillips held and Holder punted out
