NEW LEXINGTON PAINTERS
play host to the Redskins under
the lights at that place on Friday
night with the Valley League lead
at stake. The ferocious Panthers,
last years champs, are off to
flying start with two victories and
will be as tough or tougher than
Philo. New Lex recently installed
a lighting system for their field
costing approximately $500, which
has boosted their attendance con-
siderably. Not much comparison
can be made between the two
teams, it having been several
years since Caldwell has played
New Lex, but from reports the
Panthers are fast and tricky.

Bert Childers put an ad in the
Clarion the other day. Here's what
it said:
"Planted more melons than l
can eat this year. Stop by and pick
as many as you want. All free"
As you can guess, plenty of folks
sent their kids over and plenty of
the parents came too. Stripped
Bert's melon patch in no time. And
as they went away, Bert treated
the kids to lemonade, and offered
the grownups a glass of ice-cold
sparkling beer.

other school brings their bands to
play at Caldwell when we take
ours to all the games away from
home. Could it be they can't stand
the competition?
TUFFY TILTON, hard driving half
back, was sporting a dandy pair of
wool sox, in the game last Thurs
day 1t is understood that they
were knitted for him by Mrs. Cor
win Vaughn of Marietta road.
ALVIN VAVREK, who injured his
nose at Crooksville, played the
game with a nose guard, but gave
a good account of himself never
the-less. Most of the boys are in
top physical condition, despite the
two tough games played recently.
KEN GOOKINS, sports columnist
for the GAINESVILLE News, gave the
Redskins and Coach Ramsey quite
an editorial writeup in Sundays
edition. The sum-and-substance of
the article was how Caldwell,
LnOugn Outplayed In DOLn league
games, found out that it's the
points that count, not the statistics.
Anyway, he was very high in his
praise of the Redskins and called
attention to the all-important game
at New Lex this Friday night. It's
the Panthers VS.. the Redskins with
no holds barred.
NOSTALGIA of a bygone era!-In
the news of 20 years ago in the
Jeffersonian we noticed this item
this week: Harry Ball, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Ed Ball of Caldwell, and
one of the best high school runners
in the state, has entered Musking-
um college" Time nor space per-
NIT reminescing over his old high
school and college records, many
of which still stand, but some of
you recall that his younger brother
Merle, broke several of these
records later. That was in the days
when Caldwell's track teams were
ranked with the best.
