Game With Hamlin
\ I he Aspermont Hornets last night
showed a great improvement over
their game here last Friday against
the Peacock eleven.. After suffering
a 38 to 0 defeat from the Peacock
squad, which was a heavier and more
experienced team, the Hornets bat-
tled to a scoreless tie with the Ham-
lin 'B' team on a wet field. The lo-
cal teani lacks experience, chiefly, to
be rated as one of the best of their
class, however they are showing rap-
id improvement and Coaches Perkins
and Strawn have indicated that the
Hornets-will be a changed team at
the end of the season. The boys play-
ed a defensive game against the Ham-
lin eleven and discovered an educated
foot on I key Dent, who plays at a
center position, on offense, and backs
the line on defense. Bill Dent also
played a fine defensive game against
the Hamlin team.
Next Friday, the boys go to Jay-
ton to play and your guess is as good
as anyone's as to the outcome. The
boys say they are going to win fit. Let
us all lend them moral support and
attend the game if possible. The in-
terest of the citizenry mean much to
the team. Let's back them!
Selectees Advised
To "Travel Light''
* Selective Service registrants enroute
to Army induction centers should
travel light", taking nothing but
essentials so as to avoid inconvenience
to themselves and to the armed forces
General J. Watt Page, State Select-
ive Service Director, cautioned today.
Onc small bag should be sufficient
to carry the things a selectee needs
until he is given his equipment in the
Army, the Director said.
"If you wish, take a small bag
with a few clean clothes, a few socks,
handkerchiefs, soap, towel, and other
necessary toilet articles. These are
not essential, for you will be issued
necessary equipment by the Army,
but they niay come in handy should
there be any delay in your induction.
"Leave jewelry, large sums of
money, and Other valuables at home,
for they may be easily lost. If pos-
sible, take a little spending money
for such needs as you may have before
your first pay-day. Take some postal
cards or stationery and stamps, n
fountain pen, and an inexpensive wat-
ch if you have them."
Selectees were warned by General
Page to leave automobiles and mot-
orcycles at home. Commanding oiii
cers will tell the men on their posts
it tliev may have these vehicles and
thc soldiers then will have an oppor-
tunity to get them from their home*,
lie pointed out.
' Unnecessary articles taken to in-
duction centers must be returned to
his home by the selectee at hi- own
expense or otherwise disposed ot, the
General:; said.
