Durant Wins 10
In Fridays Game;
Meets Lexington, 18Th

A go score was gained by the
Durant High eleven against Nc
Adams Friday night on Bennett
field, enabling some hopes of VIC
tory over Lexington in the battle
with that team, the coming Fri
day night. Coach Van Stewart,
who last week predicted that
both teams may draw blood in
neck-to-neck battle, this week
was optimistic in his hopes to
hold the score down" LeXing-
ton, he said, holds a slightly
better average, having to its Gre
dit two more touchdowns than
the Durant team, which nonethe-
less is considered about the same
in weight and size as the Hornets
Coach Bill Schneider of Lex
ington this week said he expects
his team "to turn out a good
battle" but will not predict as
to the winner. This will be Lex
ington's closing game of hither-
to disappointing season during
which that team has scored two
win, two ties, and five losses.
Touchdowns in the Durant-
McAdams game Friday night
were made by: Rubber" Lewis,
who made two; Rosson, Red
Taylor, one each; and extra points
by Witt, Ferguson, and Hastings.
Coach Stewart reported that
the Durant eleven made nine
first downs to the McAdams' one,
compIet-d-cigl,t out OF IL passes,
three of which were for touch
downs, and another of which was
for score called back. Half-time
score was 10, with "some pretty
good football being played in the
last half. According to the coach,
some let-down following their
trimming by Sails on the preced-
ing Friday night was evidenced
by the eleven the first half of the
game, but the team came through
in the second half.
