Wesson Noses Out
Goodman 14-12
Wesson Wolves Make
Good Extra Points to
Win Score ID Il

The Holmes Bulldogs dropped a
"heart-breaker" to the well balanced
team from Colin on the local field
Friday night by a score of 14-12.
The margin of difference between
the two teams rested with the edu-
Gated toe of Robert of Wesson in
making good the two tries following
touchdowns. The game was clean and
hard-fought from the opening whis-
tie, and neither team showed a sup
erior advantage anywhere during the
curse of the game. Both teams
fought hard and or even terms most
of the way. Holmes drew first blood
on a series of we'll executed line
plays and a neat return by Haines for
35 yards two line plays and a per-
feet pass into the end zone-Haines
to Aubrey Johnson was good for six
points. The try for goal was blocked
In the second quarter the wolves
clicked on end runs and two good
passes to score Smith going over
from the two, and Roberts made it
7-6 with a perfect boot following
the touchdown. The score thus re-
manned at this point through the
first half.
Holmes received and the second
half was off to a good start, and re-
sistered with a few we'll executed
plays, passes and end slants enter
ing into play-Saniford scored from
the four on a line play. Holmes ag-
ain failed in the attempt following
the score and led until the opening
play of the 4th quarter when Wes-
son scored from the l-yard line
Youngblood. Robert again place
kicked the extra point. This ended
the scoring for the evening
The playing of Haines, Shots,
Johnson, and May stood out for
Holmes; while Smith, Youngblood,
Jordan and Hudgens was best for the
Wolves. Wesson presented a we'll
balanced team with a good passing
attack. Holmes punting was the best
seen on the local field this season,
and Haines not only punted well,
but logged the ball on several neat
gains during the game.

Royal Air Force Strikes
At German U-BOat Base
tBy Associated Pre.s)

LONDON, Feb. 25.-Royal Air
Force bombers, apparently re-
spending to threats of Adolf Hit
Ter yesterday that his submarine
fleet would dominate the seas,
struck at the great German u
boat base at Brest last night in a
DEVASTATING raid.
Dumping tons of explosives
over the town and harbor facili-
ties in series of attacks lasting
for hours, the British bombers
made great sweep of possible in
vasion points along the channel
coast.
Admiralty officials, meanwhile
ridiculed Hitler's figures on ship
ping losses, putting the total ton
mage destroyed for the week end
ing Feb. 16 at $4,000. Hitler made
the figure 10000 tons.
The Admiralty said Hitler's de-
scription of the destruction of a
l4-ship convoy off the coast of
Portugal last week was entirely
inaccurate. Ten of the ships are
safely in port, according to the adj
miralty, and the others are not
known to have been sunk.

this morning sail $4,000 tons of
British shipping had been de-
stroyed in the past 48 hours.)
