Approximately , 2,500 fans watched the Golden Arrows of Sullivan High score twice Friday night to tie a strong Brazil eleven under the , lights here at Sportland Field.

Carter passed to Russell for extra point after this score. Brazil scored both of their touchdowns in the second period on running plays. The first score climaxed a drive from their own 41 to Sullivan's one-foot marker where Max Kidd, hard-hitting halfback, plunged t over right tackle for the six points Another drive later in the period took the pigskin from Brazil's 46 to the Arrow one-yard stripe where Thomas bucked through right guard for the touchdown. A pass from Kidd to Thomas was completed for the extra point, tieing up the game at 13-all. The Arrows halted another Brazil threat in the second quarter on their own 5-yard line. The half ended one minute after the second Brazil score with Sullivan in possession on their own 20-yard line. The third period was marred with fumbles and penalties on both teams. About halfway through the quarter a Brazj.1 drive was stopped by the locals after Kidd and Thomas alternated in driving the ball from the 50 down to' Sullivan's 22 where the Arrows took over on downs. Both clubs showed spotty play throughout this period on offense with the Arrow's defense line showing decided improvement over first half play. Early in the fourth quarter Turpen fumbled on the Arrow 20 where it was recovered by a Brazil guard. On the next play, Kidd was thrown for a 10-yard loss by Byron , Thrasher, Arrow left end.

Three plays later Russell booted the ball to the 50 from where Kidd brought it back to the 34. From this point Kidd and Thomas again alternated in driving down the field with fine blocking to Sullivan's : 13 where the Arrows dug in and held them for downs. Russell, after three downs had placed the ball on Sullivan's 20, stepped back and sent a beautiful punt down the field to Brazil's 40. Kidd gathered it in and with good interference, ran it back to Sullivan's . 35 . before being run out of bounds on the west side. After a line play and pass had failed to gain, Kidd faded back and tossed a perfect
pass to Finley, right end, who was brought down on the Arrow 17. Three plays later the game ended when Kidd completed another pass to Anderson on Sullivan's five yard stripe. The visitors completed seven out of sixteen forward passes while Sullivan tossed seven with three completed. In first downs, the Arrows had five and Brazil fourteen.

Make Concessions 14. (UP) President Truman The meat shortage is creating I a political crisis for the administration. The Democratic Party must fight for its control of Congress in the general election three weeks from tomorrow. Meat is the spectacular short item but shortages in general have become a powerful factor in the Congressional campaign. Short of removing price control from meat Mr. Truman could undertake otherwise to ease the shortage, he could authorize price increase or a bonus to move beef into meat markets. Slaughtering quarters could be readjusted upward. Import of canned and frozen meat could be fostered or-a certificate system might be proposed to assure the raisers and feeders of cattle that they would be protected against any future increase in prices.
