THE EVANSVILLE ARGUS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1939

Guest Columnist The Optic failed to send in his weekly chatter for this pillar, so I will fill out and act as guest columnist... . J. Wendell Holder, editor. My Trip With The Lions Out of the bed at 5:10 Friday morning and after the usual morning procedure, then to the Lincoln High School with the Sports Editor, Leslie “Jingle Bells” Sanders, where we joined several of the young football warriors who made the trip to

Columbia, Tennessee. We had to await the arrival of Coach Ned Niles (who made his appearance at the school about 5:44,) before we could go inside the school building to load the bus that came up in front of the school about 5:40. It was 5:55 and everyone was aboard the bus but the business manager, C. E. Rochelle, the squad physician, A. H. Wilson and one of the players, Hubert Barby. At the stroke of 6, Quarterback Bronson had returned to the bus With “Dock” Wilson

and Mrs. Rochelle had driven up with her husband. Coach looked at his watch and inquired, “is everyone on”, to which the. boys gave out the reply, “all but Barbry» To this he stated, “we will have to be on our way as he was , supposed to i>e here at 5:45.” ' | On Our Way We pulled out at 6:05, rolling through the early morning with very few cars and trucks on the streets. We passed by Dade Park, “Troc” and the toll bridge with still very little signs of early morning traffic. Through Henderson and on to Madisonville where we arrived at 7:35, then on to Clarksville and to Burt Hi., where we | stopped at exactly 9:35. Everybody scampered out and into the school to rest for a few minutes as this was our very first stop since we left the city of Evansville. Yours truly along with Principal Allison, Mr. Rochelle and Mr. Niles investigated and inspected the new addition to the high school there, which housed the elementary department. There we met the principal’s better half who is an instructor in that department. I also met an old acquaintance, Miss Lillian Varnado, another member of the faculty. Just as we were about to reload on the bus, one of the Lions came up with the news that the good ole Tennessee ice cream was retailing for ten cents per pint at a small cafe accross the street from the school, (oh, yes, we bought the place out). Then it was ice cream and cakes for a while until we reached the outskirts of the city, then bar-b^que was added to the

menu.

Stopped By County Clerk Sailing, we were as we neared Nashville, the Athens of the South, and singing a little too, when all of a sudden a black sedan (Plymouth, '36 model) drove up alongside of the bus and the driver waved to the bus driver to pull over to the side of the hi-way where he inquired as to the permit to drive across the Kentucky-Tennessee state line. To this the bus driver replied that he had no such permit but he was willing to pay for the privilege of driving into that state. The County Clerk then added the mileage from the Kentucky-Ten-nessee state line to Columbia, Tennessee, then back to the same line and multiplied the number of miles by the figures, 214 which gave him the amount that he would have to pay to enjoy the privilege of riding in the state. The amount was $5.10-the distance was 190 miles and the fee was 2%e, per mile—and permit fee of 35c—it is l%c pe r mile for non-commercial carriers. When we left this ’ coHector everyone started singing as we were nearing the city limits' \ of Nashville, 161 miles from Evansville We arrived in the Tenn. Capitol at 11:05, just about 43 ml. from our destination. We were directed to the many beautiful sights r ' f this city by Thurman Yates

This keeps the automobiles from running across the tracks when a train is in the block. We left Nashville at 11:45 on Hi-way No. 31 headed toward Columbia and College Hill School. As we neared the Tennessee town, C. E. Rochelle led the group in singing the Lincoln Rousel (alma mater song) until we reached the school at 12:36. On the way to the school I got a chance to peep at one of the new ’40 Chevys. We got lost ere We reached the school

building and we actually contacted three persons who didn’t know just where the school was located and we were within three

blocks of it.

As we neared the school, we were greeted With a loud yell from the student body of the large brick school house occupied by thirteen instructors and 675 students. J. T. Carruthers is the principal of the school—he hails from Mass. State College and Boston University. The coach, H. O. Porter, a young and popular gentleman, hails from Tenn. State College in Nashville, a member of the ’37 graduating class. E. H. Kimes is the businessmanager and hei too hails from Tenn. State. Mrs. J. B. Fulton is the head of the Home Economics Department. The city has a total population of 16,000 Colored. It jumped from an 8,000 populated city to>a 16,000 populated city in the period of three year's, thanks to

as well as Taylor, the head linesman, penalized the Hoosiers time and again. On three occasions, the penalties were justified but on the other three, I do honestly believe that the officials meted out a “raw” deal. I realize that it’s hard for a person on the sideline to judge all the plays, but there was some interference on the part of the Tennessee players that went unnoticed by the men-in-charge (the officials). The men had a tuff job of trying to officiate due to the muddy field, but that does not alter the fact that the Lions received the little end of the deal, but I guess this all goes with games played

away from home.

The game was a honey with a running duel, ’tween “Peter” Rabbitt Barrett of the Lions and Jordan of College Hill. These two lads were the sensations of the day. Peter .Rabbit” played such a whale of a game that eventual

hospitable—in fact I’ve never been any place where the people were any nicer—the entire bunch as a whole, “any better looking” —as the little. boy ' wonld say, “everything was plenty . mellow” and as the optic 8 would put it, “Just My Size”. All the Lions got stuck on those pretty waitresses and from all indicationis “Dock” Wilson didn’t want to leave the dining robm—do believe that the Home Ec. teacher might have

been the cause of it. That Game Was Packed

With Thrills

Everyone was in the dressing room putting on the togs when in walked Hubert Barbry, the lad we left behind. He had caught the 7 o’clock bus and just as he neared the school in Columbia

at 2:27 p.m caught him

and ran true to the form of an All American. That boy Jordan, was sharp, too as to my opinion! he ran a close second to “Peter” in sensational playing. Edwards, another Tehn. back really went to town in that backfield too, as well as Horn. I n the line, Evans the center was sensational. Fop the Lions, Keel was outstanding in the backfield as was Alston and Catlett on the line. As a whole the entire teams

about 5 or 6 weeks.

Hats off to Bramlett of Tuskegee and Lewis of Fisk for the perfect steal of the game. Without a doubt the Lincoln Lions were at least one touchdown better than the Tennessee crew and would have won were it not for the fact that these two officials

After we returned to the school, we showered up and ate, then the rain started and did not stop until about 10 p.m. Yours truly had the pleasure renewing acquaintances with two friends, Misses Estella Bledsoe and Alicia Dobbins, members of school faculty. Later we attended a special dance given in honor of the Lions and College Hill Warriors at the Elks Hall, a large and spacious place with pretty lights on the

LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL Lincoln Choir has a membership this year of fifty. Aside from numerous engagements for the next three months, we have sched ) uled a concert of Christmas music for the thirteenth of December, the proceeds to go toward a fund for new choir gowns. We are using a smaller group for some engagements, composed of sixteen voices. Among many of the Extra Curricular Activities the majority of the girls at Lincoln are joining the N.A.C.G. Clubs, under the supervision of Mrs. Stewart, Miss McClure, Mrs. A. I. Hill, Miss Show, Miss Priestly. The Presidents of the clubs are: Mrs. Stewart, Miss McClure, Mrs. Hill, Miss Shaw, Miss Priestly, Rose Maxie, Catherine Bell, Arietta Vinson, Delores Gamble and Wilma Harding.

actually lived up to their names and swung some mellow times for the jitterbugs. The band was composed of piano (blind pianist), drums, 2 trumpets, guitar and fiddle. The pianist, drummer and guitar player were strictly mellow as was the first trumpeter. The entire band was solid. “Peter Rabbit”, Wilfred Quinn and Thurman Yates gave a little exhibition of tap dancing as a prelude to the dance that caught the eyes of all present. The dance was swell with a number of beautiful young women present and there was some solid jitterbugging with Turpin of the Lions taking the prize as the champ. “Smokey” of Columbia was up in the race in the jitterbugging contest but Turpin was the better of the two. We left at 11 p.m. and reached Evansville at about 5 Sat. mom. I didn’t sleep very much as two Ky. cars followed the bus for about 25 miles, playing tag and putting the spotlight on us. (They reminded me of robbers and I didn’t want to lose that 35c I had in my pocket). The Lincoln High School Football Team, Coach E. C. Niles, Dr. A. H. Wilson and Business Manager C. E. Rochelle reahy represented Evansville in a highly respectable manner, (everyone said so).

start cooking. The members of Boy Scout Troop 15 had their first meeting of the school year, Thursday night at the Community Center. At this time plans were made for re-registration of the troop and also for the annual fah round up given by the troop committeeman.
