Staging a DICK MerriWeH fin
ish last Friday night that had a
large. segment Of Ocean Springs
residents nearly historical. the
Greyhounds exploded in the
fourth quarter for a pair of touch
downs and conversions to beat
Perkinston High 1913 for the Re
gion Eight Class B championship.
II was a tough, hard-fought
game with Perkinston having
things pretty much its own way
in the first half and well into the
third quarter. Then Ocean Springs
found itself and dominated the
final period.
Greyhound Comeback
Of its IA first downs, Perkin-
ston made 9 in the first half but
only 5 in the last two stanzas,
while OF 16 first downs made by
the Greyhounds, but 6 were made
prior to half time and 10 in the
last half.
After an exchange of punts as
the game get under way. the
Ocean Springs gridders started a
drive from their own 22-Yard line
and. materially aided by a pair
of passes. Willisms TO Herman
and Besuqez to Williams. drove
to the visitors seven. Someone
fumbled at this critical moment.
the Eagles recovered. and quickly
drove cut of danger.
The second quarter saw Per-
kinston put on a nice demonstra-
ton of mixed line plunges and
end runs. to take the ball steadily
oown field and, midway of the
period, Evans went over the
Ocean Springs goal and Farley
converted to make the score TO.
Band Puts On Show
During half-time, the large
crowd of Ocean Springs enthusi-
asts was entertained by a sur
prisingly well-drilled and smart
stepping Greyhound band which
executed maneuvers behind a
corps OF cute baton ltwirlers.
Ocean Springs was really putting
on its football contest, from a
we~ll-lighted field to colorful pro-
grams, cheerleaders, band and
large turnout.
The third quarter was under
way but a few minutes when a
well executed Perkinston back
field hand-around, put Billy Els
berry through a hole in the for
ward wall and he raced from his
own AS to the Ocean Springs four,
where he was caught from be-
hind.
One try at the line failed, but,
on the second plunge, Evans went
over for a second touehdoWn. q
The play for the extra point
failed. and the rest of the third
period was a e struggle of
punts. fumbles. recoveries and
penalties that kept action between
the 30-Yard stripes.
The fourth quarter got under
way with little hint of the drama
to come. Suddenly the Ocean
Springs offense began to click
and a determined drive culminat-
ed in Butler racing through the
Eagle secondary to score. Will
liams lugged the ball over for the
extra point and the score was
1877.

Although the ]. N. F.'s role has
been primarily in the acquisition
of agricultural lands, its pur-

in urban development, primarily

Haifa Bay area, on which an i'm

Private Lands
Unfortunately, when a tract OF
land adjacent to Tel Aviv was
offered to J. N. F. in 1929-one-
half as large as the entire city
of those davs-it could not raise
the necessary funds. AS a result
the tract, which was offered at
a price of $32 to $40 per dunam,
was bought up by Arabs. They
parcelled it into building plots
which were then sold for $l,6OO
to $4,000 per dunam. One result
was a land boom in Tel Avlv

square miles, it is something un-

Estimates place the cultivable

about 40% of the total area. Jew
ish ownership now covers total
of approximately 100000 dun

of Arabs who are no longer in
Israel. The vast bulk of useful
Arab land must therefore be pur-

be assumed to own the remaining
100000 dunams, but only 1OO,-
