Twelve seniors will be playing
in this allimportant contest for
the last time. Ten of these win
be wearing the Hornet purple
and gold while only two will dis
play the Tiger green and white.
One Hornet senior, Walter Sulli-
van will be only a disheartened
spectator due to a broken wrist
sustained in action against Rule
vile last Friday night. Other
wise, both teams seem to be in
fairly good physical condition for
the game.
This tremendously tremendous
bout takes place in the Tiger den,
Bennett Field, at 8 PM. tomor-
night. If you wish to sit, /
suggest you arrive on the scene
about 6 PM. To stand. be there
at z PM, and to just be there,
arrive anytime between now and
8 PM Friday night, November
Is, 1868. And, as usual. if you
arrive in time to see the play,
there amt no tellin' what you

Hornets, Tigers get set
for big grudge battle
Durant favored by season record
while Lexington nurses injuries
By Wayne Rodgers


This has been a season of out
standingly furious football battles
in Holmes County. First there
was the earth-shaking dual bet
ween Durant and Tchula with
only a seven point differnce be.
ing the outcome. Then a meet.
ing between Lexington and Tchu-
la in a game to match all games.
Two extra points decided this
one. Now to finish the season in
high-flying, blood boiling style
comes the traditional drama pair
ing Durant's Tiger Greens, and
|Lexington's Hornets of gold.
Each year this game carries
much at stake and this match
will be no different. This sea-
sons battle will present a battle
for third place, or possibly a
tie for second place for Durant.
Ia Tiger win would place them
in a tie with McAdams for Sec
ond place in the Mid-State Con-
ference standings, or a Hornet
win would make Lexington sole
|posseSsor of third place.
Durant carries into this game
|of games a Sill conference re-
cord. This includes wins over
Walden, Ethel, North Carrollton,
"a loss to conference champion,
Alderman. and a tie with Nc
Adams. In other games the Tig-
ers defeated Bonneville and Kill
michael, and lost to Hollandale
by one point, and Tchula. Their
losses have been by a total of Is
points. The Greenies have scor-
ed 2o8 points to their opponents
Y. This is an average of 23.1 to
8 points per game.
Lexington has compiled a five
win, four loss record for the
season and a 80 record in con-
ference play. Their wins include
victories over Walden, North Car
rollton, and Ethel in conference
play, and Drew and Kilmichael
in other games. Losses were to
Alderman and McAdams in con-
ference games and to Tchula and
Ruleville in non-conference tits,
The Hornets have compiled a
total of 169 points to the opposi-
tion's SO for an average of 1873
per game to the opponents 80.
During the days of the old
original Big Black Conference,
of which both Lexington and Dur
ant were charter members, the
Tigers piled up a decisive edge
in this long time series. However.
since the formation of the Mid
State Conference, things have
been fairly even with Lexington
holding the edge. Last years
contest was a wild affair with
Lexington finally coming out on

Having set first thought on this
county of Holmes only some ele-
ven months ago, / don't feel too
guilty about not realizing the
seriousness taken in local ath-
letics and the prestige held by
schools of the county.
This season, while the two
teams usually in the llmellgnt
CDurant and lexington are bat
Ting tomorrow night for second
place in county rating and pos
sibly second place in their con-
ference, and a somewhat better
overall record, the other two
teens (Tchula and Goodman
are resting on their enviable per
feet and near perfect records
with a combined record OF ~
wins for only one loss.
HAAAC
The Tchula Panthers are rlo-
ing on their highest crest with
one of the few perfect ten game
records in the state. In addition
thew are holding the champion
shin honor and leading in almost
M ~ Il
every division in their Cen'rai
Delta Conference.
Billy Bell and Wayne Self have
scored more points this year
than many entire teams; a totai
of 1871 between them. And the
the team ended the season with a
total of 262 points to their oppo-
nents' GA. Now that's an aver,
ace of 26.2 to ga for each ana
every game, and, might | say
"Can you beat that?"
That bunch of go-geters at
AHs will take no CUFF off any
one either about their piggy anil
titles. They got going after the
opening loss by a wee margin
and won the last nine straight, an
identical record to last year one
of the boys said they could nave
made it ten in a row if they
could have played HJC the last
week in some sort of bowl game.
Yes, the spirit is there.
Lexington and Durant, both
under par recordwise this year.
will be putting their every eS-
citing trick into the pit tomorrow
night for the annual rivalry, but
more than a grudge battle is at
stake. A Hornet loss would mean
a break-even season Is won, 3
LOST for Woodson Earle, one OF
the few, if any, during his ID
wears as coach in Lexington. For
Durant, it could mean near the
same for first year coach Billy
Swindle who now has a 5-3-1 re-
cord.
Overall, county schools now
boast of a combined 1851 re,
clrd. We challenge any of the
other 81 counties over the state
to match it.
