(involvement in the Haiti crisis).

Excel edges Lyeffion 15-8:
Lyeffion High’s Yellow Jackets lost a close one to the Excel Panthers in Excel
last Friday night.
The Jackets scored first when
Mack Dailey intercepted a pass and ran it back 81 yards in the second quarter.
Ardell Taylor ran for two points to make it 8-0.
Sparta slips past Patriots:
The Sparta Academy Warriors kept the homefolks on the edge of their seats most
of the night before scoring late in the final quarter to come from behind and
edge Fort Deposit Academy 8-7 here Friday night.
The Warriors finally got
their offense untracked in the last half and moved in for their only score.
Ronny McKenzie drove across from the two for the touchdown. The winning two
points came on a nifty pass play with Terry Peacock hitting Andy Hammond in the
end zone.
(Other top Sparta players in
that game included Jeff Baggett, Scott Baggett, Robert Bozeman, Ira Cook, Greg
Crabtree, Gaylon Griggers, Jeff Johnson, Robert Johnston, Bobby Mason, Mike

Wild, Johnny Thornley, Jeff Scott, Mike Bethune, Elliott Quarles, David

in the final seconds of the game to defeat Camp Hill, 20-13, Friday night at
Lyeffion.
(Top players for Lyeffion in

Evergreen Aggies Win First
Game; Best Tough Thomasville Tigers 6-0: The Evergreen High School Aggies
pushed across a touchdown late in the final period last Friday night to defeat
the strong Thomasville Tigers 6 to 0 in the opening game of the season for both
teams. Right halfback Ed Hooks bulled across from the one-yard stripe to
culminate a 34-yard drive with the lone score of the ball game.
The game was played in Brooks
Stadium here before a large opening night crowd estimated at better than 1,200
paid attendance. Heavy rainfall late Friday afternoon and threatening skies
probably kept hundreds more away from the game.
Coaches Wendell Hart and John
Lockwood were well pleased with the overall performance of their Aggies but
found many weak spots.
(Other standout Evergreen
players in that game included Bruce Johnson, Jim Ryan, John Greel Ralls, Dickey
Bozeman, Jack Cunningham, Jeff Moorer and Shelton Craig.)
The Repton High School
Bulldogs downed a valiant but inexperienced bunch of Lyeffion High Yellow
Jackets 32 to 0 last Saturday night in the opening game of the season for both
teams. The game was played in Brooks Stadium at Evergreen High School.
The heavier, more experienced
Repton gridders were too much for their cross-county rivals where were playing
their first game. Football was revived at Lyeffion this year after a lapse of
more than a decade.

Hunting License To Sell For
Same Fee: Game Warden I.E. Adams was in The Courant office in the first of the
week and called attention to a rumor that has been circulated the past few
weeks among hunters. He says that many hunters have got the impression that
when they buy their hunting license they will have to go to the post office and
procure a stamp for duck hunting and attach to it. Mr. Adams says that this is
not necessary except for those who expect to hunt ducks. Persons who do not
engage in duck hunting are not required to buy the stamp. They may buy their
ordinary hunting licenses for the same fee as in former years, $1 for county
and $3 for state. However, if one expects to hunt ducks, it is essential that
he procure the duck stamp from the post office, which will cost $1.
Hunting season on the various
types of game are the same as last year and dates of same may be found on the
back of hunting license. The new license year begins Oct. 1. Hunting licenses
may be procured from the office of the judge of probate.
