DURANT TIGERS SHOW UP WELL
IN OUTSTANDING CRIOIR0N YEAR
TEAM HAS ONE OF BEST
YEARS IN HISTORY

The Durant Hi Tigers started
off with what looked like a dis
appointing football season. The
squad was a little heavier thar
last years squad, but lacked thc
pep, spirit and fight Of the past
team. After being defeated by
Canton $50, the Tigers started
clicking. mainly because Coach
Brumfield stressed blocking and
tackling more than any other
points. The team defeated Tchu-
la High 1877 despite the fact that
they had two touchdowns called
back and the heaviest man on the
team ruled out.
This victory started the team
really rolling. They beat the next
two teams with apparent ease, the
scores being Carthage 0, Durant
25 and Carrollton 0, Durant 33.
The next game with Sails came
to an end with a tied score of
6-6, the two games after The Sal
lis game were taken bv the Tig-
ers but not so easily as the first
three.
Last week Madison defeated
the local team by a close score.
The last game, and the most
important game of the season, is
to be played against Lexington
on November 10.
The squad members are Jerry
wards, James Armstrong, William
Black, w. f. Durham. Jack Ed
Ricks, Curtis Tartt, Speck Brown,
Jack Moore. Johnny Dinas, Bus
ter Taylor, Junior Melton. Stecly
Mansfield, Doc Winborn, Robert
Carroll, Wesley Hodges Curry
Won Wilson. Richard O'Caine and
Robert f. Bowie.
Those who have earned their
letters so far are: Captain John
ny Dinas, alternate Captain. Will
liam Kicks, quarterback, Buster
Taylor, Jerry Black, James Arm
strong, w. Z. Durham, Jack Ed
wards. Curtis Tart, Speck Brown,
Steelv Mansfield, Jack Moore and
Junior Melton.
The TEAMS record OF five VIE
tories, one tie and two defeats is
due to tho excellent Goa hing Of
Coach Dudley Brumfield, who
been at Dprant three seasons this
year.
The team appreciates the fine
support o: the pep squad ,rgin-
ized by Miss Annie Lot ise Grif-
fin.

HONOLULU, February 1.-THE
mysterious case of a naval officers
wife. who insists she was criminally
assaulted after party, caused
Hawaiian officials to act swiftly today
to forestall possible congressional criti-
cisn1.
Recalling the rebuke of the islands
administration after the sensational
Massie attack case in 1881, Attorney
General Samuel Kemp and Police
Chief w. A. Gabrielson asked Gov.
Joseph Poindexter to cable all details
10 Washington, D. c.
They requested that the Hawaiian
Delegate, Samuel King, be supplied
both Mrs. Bennett S. Copping's ac-
count and the official findings.
Reluctant comment marked inves-
tigation of the woman's story that a
white man dragged her rs feet from a
hotel corridor to a garage early Mon
day and attacked her. That was only
a few hours after a party at
the Coping apartment, in which She
another woman and two naval men
participated, while her husband, a
submarine commander, was asleep.
Husband Noncommital.
"I have my orders" was all that
Lieut.. Bennett S. Coping would say
when questioned through the nearly
closed door of his hotel room.

findings.
DR.. Henry A. Akina, city-county
physician, reiterated examinations
showed the woman had not been at
tackled. He said he would not testify
against any one arrested for the as
serted crime.
Navy men hastily escorted Mrs. Cop
ping out of the police station, where
she had been repeatedly questioned by
officers.

toned vigorously to correct discrepan-
cies in her story of the attack, and de-
tails of her movements during and
after the drinking party, which began
at 10 am. Sunday at the Pearl Harbol
base and lasted until nearly midnight
Police and naval officers pressed their
hunt for her alleged assailant, although
Mrs. Coping was unable to amplify
her vague description of him.
Two Men Questioned.
Police questioned Leuts. w. johnson
of the cruiser Louisville and w. r. Al
len of the fleet airbase. They, with a
Miss Dolores de Beck, a nurse, accom-
panied Mrs. Coping to her hotel from

Gabrielson said Mrs. Coping stuck
to her original story, but failed to clear
up discrepancies about which she was
"hazy."

Persons having wild ducks In

With the season for the legal

Red Cross Roll Call

Again that great organization of mercy, the Am
erican Red Cross, is in the midst of its annual roll
call which is made each year between Armistice Day
and Thanksgiving. During this time solicitation of
funds in disasters and want will be made, and
the roll call deserves the support of everyone who
can possibly contribute.
Communities which have happily escaped disas-
ter can hardly appreciate the magnificent work OF
this foremost relief organization. Quietly and effic
iently the organization provided aid to INDECENT chill
dren in the of eyes, teeth and general health
And following a great fire. flood, storm, epidemic or
other cause of widespread distress the Red Cross
Immediately goes into effective action.
When the need arises the Red Cross responds
unfailingly, promptly efficiently. There are no de-
lays, hesitancy, lost motion With cocklike pre-
cision the trained personnel moves to its humanitar

While it originally designed for the relief OF
suffering in time of war, the Red Cross has in late

1t costs only dollar to join the organization
