Muslin Speaks At Hornet Supper

Coach Billy Muslin of Holmes
Junior College was guest speak
er at the banquet for the Lex
mgton Hornets last Thursday
night at the Grammar school
cafeteria.
Coach Muslin was introduce
ed to the more than so people
who attended by James Carroll,
president of the Lexington High
Boosters Association, the or
ganization which sponsored the
event.
Before getting into the ser
ious side of his talk, Coach
Muslin kept the crowd lauhing
with his humorous remarks
and jokes, proving he is one
of the most popular after din
ner speakers in the area.
The former Ole Miss quar-
terback star, and former room
mate of Chunckin' Charlie Con-
nerly while the two played at
the University, told the foot
ball boys that it took three
things in a person to become
a good football player. First
he said, a boy must have a
burning desire to play the
game; second. he must be will
ling to cooperate with his team
mates; and third, he must
have loyalty to himself his
coaches and to his school. In
being loyal to himself, he said,
a boy must realize an obliga-
ton to get the best education
possible in order that he may
make a good living.
Coach Muslin said he is ex-
pecting a lot out of two former
Lexington Hornets, now at
tendeding HJC. They are
James Tierce, an Johnnie
Harthcock, who were outstand-
ing players last year for Coach
Earle.
The speaker had high praise
for the Lexington High School
and its officials and coaches.
He said the students who go to
Holmes from here are of the
highest calibre.

Visiting Hunters Say
F0xhunt Was Great
They Liked
Of Folks

The annual /, United States
Open Foxhunt was concluded
last Friday, with the awarding
of trophies to the ten top ho-
unds at Hotel Durant, head
quarters for the hunt.
Proclaimed by the hunters
and USO officials as the best
they ever had, a lot of praise
was showered on the people of
Durant and those living in the
hunting area, for the excellent
cooperation and the hospital
ity shown the visitors from IL
states, during the five-day hunt
Stone Crane, outgoing presi-
dent of USO, said the area in
the Emory community is UNI
doubtedly the best hunting
grounds in the United States.
He said conditions were ideal
for this years hunt, with plenty
of fox. Weather conditions
were ideal from the very first
cast at 6 a. m. Tuesday morn
ing. A light rain on the morn
ing of the last cast Friday was
welcomed by the judges in
order for them to better Judge
Nhe hounds under somewhat
adverse conditions.
Also coming in for their sh-
are of praise from the visitors.
which totaled about $50 Fox
hunters from all over the Uni
ted States, were Mr.. and Mrs.
Weir Kyle. who did an out
standing job in housing the
visitors. Hotel Durant was
overtaxed for space for the
many visitors, who naturally
wanted to be at the hunt head
quarers. Somehow the Kyles
managed to get most of them
situated by doubling up and
moving some around. In her
speach of welcome to the
hunters at the Monday night
banquet, Sister Kyle said she
has become a confirmed fox
enthusiast herself.
The Durant Motel was also
filled with the hunting visitors
all week, and they too, did an
outstanding job of playing ex-
cellent hosts to those who stay
ed there.

Invited To

Julious Guion, president Of

would like to go on record as

Speaking for the Council he
said the more than $50 viSi-
during the foxhunt, were the
finest group of sportsmen he
had ever seen, and expressed
appreciation for their selecting
Durant as headquarters for the
hunt.

Virginia Fox Hound
Skips Big USO Chase
To Visit Herald Office

Old Beaver Pond Convict.
one of the hounds running in
the USO foxhunt last week I'D
around Emory didn't win any
of the top prizes in the hunt.
but you can bet your boots he
was one of the smartest dogs
running over the hills and hol-
lows of Holmes county.
Last Wednesday, during the
second cast of the hunt, Bea-
yer Pond Convict, owned by
Austin Skipwith, Jr. of Clarks-
vile, Va. got tired of chasing
fox, so he decided to come
down to the Herald office and
watch us print the paper.
While here he really got nosey
with the news. as the above
photo shows.
When Gerald Simmons, one
of the hunters. of GAINESVILLE,
Va, came over to pick Con
Wet" up, we kinda hated to
see him go.
There's quite a story about
the dog, as related by Mr..
Simmons. Up in Virginia they
hunt fox quite a bit, and their
favorite hunting grounds are
located near a prison camp.
Well, Beaver Pond has a habit
of strolling around over the
country when he gets tired of
the chase, SO he wandered one
day over to the prison and the
convicts got chummy with him.
Holmes County herald., 1959-12-17

Now every time they hunt in
that area, Simmons says, Bea-
yer Pond pays his "buddies"
a visit. They've had to re-
frieve him so many times
from the prison camp, owner
Skipwith just tagged Convict
onto his name.
And when chasing fox, Bea-
yer Pond is no slack. Just last
year, he won fourth in the
James River Field Trials at
Appomatox. Virginia.

Too little has been said about
WoodSon Earle, head coach at
Lexington High and his assis-
tant, Hosea Grisham. WoodSon
was named Coach of the Year
by his fellow Mid-State Con-
ference coaches this year and
rightly so. In the past % gam
es over the past 3 years, the
Hornets have won rs while los
ing only 3. We think that's
something of a record. During
the past six years as head
coach at Lexington, he has a
fantastic record of 40 wins
against only 10 losses. :

Oa9RT
Holmes
by CHESTER MARSHALL

Ask the average man on the
street what a least" is and
he'll naturally think you're
talking about something you
put on a broken leg. To him,
the word is not connected with
fox hunting. But to a foxhun-
ting fan, the word means tur-
ming the hounds loose for the
big chase.
Last Friday night in the lob
by of Hotel Durant, while chat
ting with Charles Morgan of
Tulsa, Oklahoma, and former
president of the Illinois Fox
hunters Association, and Geo
rye Everett, Editor of 1.-THE
Hunters Horn a nationally
distributed magazine for hun
tiers, of Sand Springs, Okla,
we found out what gives with
this fox hunting fad.
We wanted to know why en-
thuSiaSm could be worked up
over just listening to a pack
of hounds running when there
will be no game to take home
at the end of the run. I was
told that the real sport was the
musical cadence of the bark
ing houndthat makes his mas
ter love the hunt so much.
That sound is like a perfect
Sympothy to a long haired
conductor. Fox hunters of
course, know the sound of
their own dog, and they can tell
exactly where he is at all
times. They know what dog
is ahead and how close he is
to his prey.
And like Morgan said, fox
hunting is the most democratic
sport in the world today. A one
gallowS farmer an a miIliona-
ire rub shoulders on equal
terms when out in the field
listening to their favorite hou-
nd after a fox.
"And you don't see a bunch
of DRINKS at a gathering like
this Morgan said scanning
the crowd of hunters as they
waited for the winning hounds
to be announced.
You know, there might just
be something to this fox hunt
ing. Anyway, we've got the
best hunting grounds in the
U. S. right here in Holmes Co.
and we should try to cultivate
more interest in this great
sport.
