LOCALS WIN OVER
PENNINGTON
GAP 80 TO 0
BY CLAUDE SHORT

AS l reminded you last week.
Clintwood was heavily favored to
win over Pennington Gap This
forewarning came to pass Friday
night at Pennington as the heavy
swift Green Wave came to life
in rally that showed their true
sportsmanship and gridiron abb
lities in true form.
The boys really went about to
show themselves in the best per-
Torrance yet. Also, it was a beau
tiful exhibition for our future
opponents to behold and to re-
alize the power and team work
that they would have to match.
Indeed, the greatest spectacle OF
the game was the superb play OF
Charlie Neel when he raced off
for a So yard sprint to pay-dirt.
This was surely a home town
fans dream-to see Charlie leave
the entire field behind him as he
ripped off the long run that was
the play of the night
Another sensational play that
brought about much comment was
pass to Doug Mullins that he
raced across the goal line with
but was called back because of
an off-side penalty on Clint
wood, but, nevertheless, Clint
wood went on to prove its true
craftsmanship and plunging pow

times the yardage they did, and

out passed, outran and above all.
tripled and doubled the score
with ease.
Friday night of this week at
the fair ground here, Clintwood
meets the Pound Warriors. Clint
wood is again heavily favored to
win. Clintwood has lost only one
game this season, while the lucky
Appalachia Bulldogs have yet to
lost one, but we feel confident
that the Bulldogs are riding for a
fall, while Clintwood does not
have any worries for the rest OF :
the season, although we yet have
two tough teams to face-Wise
and Coeburn. 1t is understood |
here that Coeburn started at the
beginning of the foot ball season
with only one goal in mind-to
concentrate all their plays and
power against Clintwood, that if
they could do Just that they did
not give boot about winning
another game the entire season.
They sought revenge for the ter
rible trouncing death them in
their efforts to win the champ
ionship last year Let us remind
them now that we are loaded AND
waiting for them.

Human beings have two eyes, the

wolves, bears and other furry ami
mails. Reptiles, fish and birds also
are two-eyed.
The two-eyed rule spreads far and
wide through the animal kingdom,
but 1t is broken by many kinds OF
insects. If insects had noses, we
might expect many of them to turn
up their noses at the idea Of having
only two eyes apiece!
It is common for insects to have
four or five eyes! Two or three Of
the eyes are on the top of the head,
and are known as Simple eyes,"
The simple eyes seem to perform

South said later that he would
have bid grand slam If North
had been able to show three kings
over the Blackwood five-no-trump
call. It was unfortunate, however,
that South did not do better with
the excellent material In hand, at
the excellent contract.
West led the club jack. Win
ming with the blank ace, South
drew trumps In two rounds, then
cashed the ace Of diamonds. When
West showed out, declarer said dis
stlstedly, What a break! Now we
need the spade finesse, partner"
Forthwith, he took that finesse, and
his disgust was doubled and re-
doubled when East sinothered the
spade queen and laid down the
king Of clubs. Down one!
As we said originally, the hand
could have been made in several
ways, but some Of these would in
volve the use Of complicated end
plays. The really simple way-so
simple that South should have been
ashamed to miss twas to pro-
ceed as South did In respect to-
drawing trumps and cashing high
diamond, but, with the diamond
situation exposed, merely to lead
the club queen from dummy and,
when East covered with the king
20 give him the trick! What could
be more clear-cut than for South
70 toss a spade OF q diamond on
this gift and then challenge East
to make a return lead? A diamond
return by East would go up to-
dummy's tenace of K-1o-6; a spade
return would give dummy two
tricks IN the suit, and a club return
would let South discard his last
loser while ruffing in dummy.

LET'S MEET BOB
EVANS, PENN'S
NEGRO CAPTAIN

PHILADELPHIA - (ANP) -
Bob Evans, the 225 pound tackle
recently elected as captain of the
Pennsylvania football team, is
one of the finest athletes in that
big school, according to Coach
George Munger.
Munger and Crowther, line
coach, say they tell Bob how to do
a thing only once, and Bob takes
over.
Bob learned that lesson years
ago when he was little kid in
North Philadelphia. Bob lived
near the Odd Fellows Cemetery.
It. wasn't strange for him to see
the magnificent funeral process
SionS of the departed brothers
wend their way into the ceme-
terry. He got lost - but managed
to struggle back to his own cor
ner after dark. When he managed
to find his own house, his nom
was waiting for him and his ex-
planation.
He muttered some explanation,
but it didn't save sound spank
ing with hair brush. That's some
thing else Bob hasn't forgotten.
That may explain why his
coaches don't have much trouble
impreSsing something on his
mind, but it would be fun to see
any one Of the coaches, Munger,
Paul Riblett or George Crowther
either one or all together, trying
to turn hefty Bob across one or
many knees to administer the
spank! That would be worth see
ing.
At any rate, Bob, who is a good
student as we'll as a vicious tackle
rates high not only at school but
at home where he likes the quiet
life listening to good music on his
record player. An only child, he
can pick his dad up in one arm,
his mother in the other and march
all around the neat comfortable
home with them.
He's a Catholic and twice has
won the highest award a Negro
athlete can win in Philadelphia.
