Lexington Loses To
Sails Friday 47-O

A battered and badly beaten Lex
ington football eleven will take a
week off and recuperate from the
47-to-0 loss administered Friday
night by the Sails Wildcats.
After the Hornets take advantage
of the open date they will play hosts
to Benton Friday night November z
at 1880 at the Beall Athletic Field.
Hornets Trumpled Friday
Friday night the Hornets took the
field against Sails with the hopes
of avenging a 21-to-19 defeat hand
ed them last year. The visitors from
Sails knocked the idea out of their
head with a lightning-like thrust in
the opening minutes of play and con-
tinued to score at will in the first
half to roll up 33 points.
After halftime the Hornets looked
like they were going to make it a
contest by holding the Wildcats at
bay for a few minutes and piling up
some yardage themselves. Then Sal
lis got hot and rolled up two more
markers before the game ended 40.
McRae Shines In Loss
The outstanding event of the
night was not the win by Sails but
the sparkling play of a diminutive
Hornet in a losing cause, 145-pound
John Murrel McRae.
Johnny ripped and tore at the
Wildcats with the f~erocity of a trap
ped tiger. AT times when the line
was ~faltering he would tear off nice
gains only by intestinal fortitude and
all the power his driving legs could
muster. Johnny put on a one man
show for a losing and our hats
are off to ibis fine ball player.

Tigers Win Over
French Camp 2O-7

The Durant High Tigers got back
into their winning ways last Thurs
day night as they defeated French
Camp by a score of 20-7.
The Tigers, however, did not play
the same brand of hard football they
have in the past. The team lacked
the fight and spirit and teamwork
that has made them a winning com
bine this year. If the Tigers had been
right they might have made a better
showing. But they did win and that
is what counts.

the accusations, received lighter
