Raiders Tied
For Mid-Six Lead
The jerks

The Red Raiders romped, 40-7,
over the Hilliard eleven on the
losers gridiron last Friday. tbs
by Stahl (2), Grove (2), LeBeau,
and Ward, two placements by
Davidson, and one safety, against
Armstrong; I'D and successful
boot gave LHS their second lea
que victory.
After the opening kick off
London paraded to pay dirt as
Dick LeBeau sneaked from quar-
terback position over the dia-
gonals. Jim Stahl scooted over
for the next two and Bill Grove
marked up six more points.
"Satch" Davidson toed two sue
cessful conversions in the second
period.
Exciting Second Half Play
In six plays from their own 13'
billiards impressively plowed to
London's goal line and Darryll
Armstrong skipped over. He then
placed a true kick through the
uprights.
Bill Ward claimed the kick off
ball and was brought down on
London's "a. On the next play he,
with the pigskin, spurted around
left end and high geared it &c
yards to six point territory! But
the Raiders weren't through yet.
A safety in the fourth gave Lon
don 34-7 score and led up to
series of plays which Dick Ter
ry executed He flipped pass
to Roger Thibaut who was
thrown out of bounds on Hill
liard's 43 from where Terry
broke loose on the next assault
and lodged tacklers to billiards
two. Again he used an aerial de
vice which Bill Grove took in the
end zone.
The final gun found the Raid
ers tied with three other teams
for lead in Mid Six play as Wor-
thington, Westerville, Marysville,
and London have won two and
lest one each in the league.

instance, Darling Jill from
Upper Honey Creek"
PoLLYTIcks
Over coffee the other day,
one of the local wags said that
he knows a fellow who used
to be a plumber but is now
mayor of nearby town. Our
friend said that the reason
this fellow is such a success is
because he has good connec-
tions" and has pipelines" run
ming everywhere! We presume
he elbows" his way into
everything or else threads"
his way into office.
NAIVE
We've heard many a reason
for attempted and successful
prison breaks, but a guy out
in San Quentin gave the best
last week.
Caught in the act, the prison
er explained to the warden +.
II just don't like it in prison"
This statement gets as near to
the truth as anything we've
ever heard.
ORIGINAL
A model agency we heard
about has the incest name. ;.
"Shy, Inc"
KIDS
See by the papers that
prominent educator says that
mothers who work are pro-
ducing generation of mental
ly i'll children. Points out that
these kids are the number one
problem children in the
schools.
MEDICINE
Overheard woman talking
the other day and her conver-
sation went like this =. THE
doctor gave him penicillin but
it didn't seem to do any good.
Thinks maybe he has rheuma-
tism coupled with pneumonia.
Tonsils are bad and will have
to come out. We are doing
everything we can"
We asked, How long has
George been sick"
"Oh,' said the WON a n,
George is alright. I'm talking
about our cat!"
HuMMNN!
Comedian Joe E. Lewis says
you're only young once but
if you play it right, once is
enough"
FEATHER
A very gratifying thing is
recognition for something one
has done. We were proud to
see an editorial we wrote re-
printed in THE National Pub
lisher," trade publication of
the National Editorial Asso-
citation.
"Your newspaper is your
voice and don't you forget it.
Your newspaper is the one
agency which can act as
clearing house of facts and
figures between individuals
and the public in general.
Your newspaper protects you
as an individual against pres
sure, power and politics. At
the same time it provides gov
ernment, local and national,
i with a means to explain and
inform you of its functions"
sUDN THOT
The reason a publisher
prints both sides of question
is because this makes it pos
sible to have everybody mad
at him at the same time! In
cidentally, why don't we list
the bridegroom among the
brides accessories?
TOUGH
Old Haywood Snugg, who is
as squirrely as a hickory
grove, says that where he
comes from the neighborhood
was so tough that a cat who
still had a tail was a tourist!
SAD
Sad story concerns G.. /.
who lost his girl. Seems this
fellow had been sending his
sweetheart a postcard every
day on which he poured out
his thoughts of love. How did
he lose the girl? She married
the postman!
LAST WORD
Any little tomato who knows
her onions can cabbage onto
an old potato and come back
with some carrots if she
doesn't pull a rhubarb and
spill the beans. Lettuce alone!
