PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: | didn't get to my favor
lite spot along the Ole Stroll until
after the football game out at the
Jackson College Stadium between
what turned out to be the scintil-
Lating Alcorn College Braves, and
the not so scintillating gentlemen
from the Lone Star State, and
when got to my chosen spot, both
time and circumstances had great
ly increased my capacity for my
Fish and Beer, which seemed more
than usually long in coming as |
bathed my desire and whetted nv
appetite with the aroma from the
skillet and the atmosphere filled
with the aroma Of ice cold brew,
IN such state | didn't start lis
tenlng to what was going on
around me for sometime, but when
l did begin to give an ear, | found
that | was in the midst of lotta
other Amt Haggar's Chillun who
had been out to see that football
game, which was the subject of
talk at every table and in every
click and corner, and | wasn't sur
prised when found that most of
them were talking about them
penalties, and the dropping of the
flag behind every play that a.
reused the spectators at the game,
and | wasn't surprised when
heard some of the folks that
picked as knowing all about the
game, asked the question =.
HAS THE FOOTBALL RULES
FOR THIS YEAR BEEN
CHANGED so MUCH THAT THE
GAME is TOO TECHNICAL FOR
Amt HAGGAR'S CHILLUN j..
that is all cepten the Officials. :.
Now while | was eating my Fish
and drinking my Beer | thought
that was a silly question to be
askin +. being as it was one of
them questions that folks ask when
they purpose to cast reflection on
the brothers and sisters of the
tribe But seeing as things
were as they were at the game, and
/ was there, Charlie, l had been
wondering about the rules myself,
specially after heard one of them
newspaper men. in the press-box
point out that when it got to fiji
teen 15) Fifteen (15) yard penal
ties against the Alcorn Braves a.
lone, something of a record had
been set. :. but the real clincher
came when / heard somebody say.
Man, anyhow, folks don't pay their
money to see how much the Oh
ficials know i. They pay to see
| them teams -. PLAY FOOT
BALL -. Get Me ;. Play Foot
ball.
