Atlanta Meets Linden
Friday Night
(Continued from Page One)
luck last week in scrimmage and
broke his arm. His loss to the
team will be felt, his spirits will
still lead the team on. Come on out
tomorrow night, you'll see a fine
game between two good ball clubs.
Personally, I think we will win by
at least one touchdown, but as you
know the games with Linden are
always toss ups—SO—come on out
and cheer for our boys, help them
by being that 12th man, and come
away with our slogan, "Played Lin-
den, Beat Same."

batted away from its intended re-

Rodessa 42. Johnson picked up 12
yards and a first down, as the third
quarter ended. Score, Atlanta 13-
Rodessa 6.
Failing to make the necessary-
yardage, Johnson kicked over the
goal, giving the ball to Rodessa on
its own 20. Two running plays
failed to gain. A completed pass
was good for !) yards, another 4th
down run failed to make that need-
ed yard and Atlanta took over just Davis
inside the Rodessa 30. Gaining 3
yards by runs Johnson passed but
the ball went incomplete. On 4th
down Johnson, pointing for the
coffin corner, punted a beautiful
ball out of bounds on the Rodessa
3. Three running plays failed to
gain, and Rodessa kicked out to
the 27. Atlanta was again stopped
for no gain, and Rodessa kicked
out to the 27. Atlanta was again
stopped for no gain in three downs.
Again Johnson kicked, and out it
went on the Rodessa 2. Rodessa
picked up 3 yards in the same num-
ber of tries, and on 4th down the
Atlanta line surged through and
blocked the Rod^sa attempted
kick.
Johnson recovered on the Rodes-
sa 18 and plowed down field to the
8 yard line. Howe picked up two
yards, Johnson 3. Next an incom- i
plete pass, to break up the Rodessa j
defense Johnson raced over the,
goal for Atlanta's third and final
score. Howe went off tackle for i
the point.
Atlanta kicked off to Rodessa, _ „ . , „

aided the Rabbits, and Howe went' Grogan Mfg. Co. vs. Clem Davis

his high school career, not only ,, minora Lerry vs. Floyd
directing the team, but ran for two divorce granted plaintiff,
touchdowns and passed for the oth-
er. Again he turned up with a
nice kicking game, punting 6 times
for an average of 35 yards per
try, from the scrimmage line. We
can not overlook the outstanding
play of the other ten boys. Hard
tackling and blocking was shown
by all, with Toby Thompson lead-
ing the way. Perhaps it gets old
for me to say that the boys are
improving rapidly with every game
played. We had a championship
club on the field last Friday and
from all indications the team will
be in fine shape when we play Lin-
den here this week.
All will be ready to go, with the
exception of hard-playing Henry
Johnson. Henry had a bit of hard
pounds per acre, and good agri-
cultural practices got this result.
