ed their season with a rush

much closer than was expected !;
in fact, many Norton fans re-
fused to turn out for the game
on assumption that Norton
would run up a one-sided score.
The D. M. H. S. boys held the

of the play, when a rush OF

side turned the tide in their
favor.

ported that Jenkins has one of
the strongest football teams in
this section of the country, so
visitors at the game will be as
sured of witnessing royal
struggle. Coaches Meade and
Smith are working their boys
hard every day in preparation
for the game. The people OF
this section are showing a great
" increased interest IN the
grand autumn sport of football,
and it is hoped that a large
number of fans will be in attend
ance at the game Saturday.
The team for the game will
be selected from the following
candidates: Victor Sutherland,
Carter Damron, Buford Blev-
ms, Norman Clay, George Lock
hart, Trimble Lockhart, Earl
Owens, Glen Colley, Reed Suth-
erland, Jake Priode, Edison

Twelve Matrimonial Suggest
ions. Contributed by a friend to
This Paper

CD First and above all things
get the girl.
(2) Agree with her Padre in
politics and with her Madre in
religion.
(3) If there's another fellow
in the case keep an eye on him.
(4) If it's a Marine keep two
eyes on him, or look for anoth-
er girl.
90 Don't swear to the girl
chat you have no bad habits.
It is enough to say that you
don't fight Cacos in your sleep.
(6) Don't put too much sweet
stuff on paper. If you do you'll
hear it read to you in after
years when she has some spe-
cial purpose for inflicting upon
you the severest punishment
known to married hombres.
10 Go home at a reasonable
hour in the evening. Don't wait
until the girl has to throw her
whole soul into a yawn that she
has to cover with both hands,
because that might queer the
game right at the start.
(8) If you are wearing brand
new, cut-down blues, just
drawn from the O. NJ, and you
would sit down on some "lasses
candy" that Little Willie" has
left on the chair, just smile
and remark that you don't
mind sitting on '1asses' candy
at all, and that boys will be
boys. Reserve your true, feel
ing until you get back home
then let 'er rip.
(9) If the first time you call
at the home of the fair one you
hope to win she looks like an
iceberg and acts like a cold
wave take your leave early and
stay away, for a jane in her
hour of freeze is uncertain,
coy and hard to please.
90 In cold weather finish
saying "Buenas Noche" in the
house. Don't stretch it to the
front gate and thus lay the
foundation for future asthma,
bronchitis, neuralgia, cronic
catarrh, etc., to help you worry
the girl to death at night after
she has married you.
Cd Don't lie about your
dinero (money) condition, for it
is very annoying to a bride who
has pictured for herself a life
of luxury in her ancestral halls
to learn too late that you expect
her to parla a bald-headed par
ent who has been uniformly
kind to her to take you in out
of the cold.
az Don't be too soft. Don't
say "these little hands shall
never do a stroke of work when
they are mine and "you shall
have nothing to do in our home
but to sit all day long, and CHR
rup at the parrot that I brought
from Haiti, shortcomings or
Cuba" for girlies have very
good memories for soft things
and silly promises of courtship,
and occaisionly in after years,
when she is cleaning the table
or making a scrub-and-Wash-
clothes-ology or patching the
east side of your trousers, she
will remind you of them in a
cold, sarcastic tone of voice.
