ORANGE 4 BLACK P«B 8 Orioles Defeat Ledgers 7-2 Charlotte Wins Second Victory of Year Playing under lights for the first time this year, the Charlotte grid- dera defeated the Grand Ledge Comets 7 to 2 Friday night. The first half of the game was mostly a punting duel. Grand Ix dge however, managed to keep the Char- lotte gridders well bark in their own territory. The ledgers were on Charlotte’s four yard line once, but were unsuccessful in getting the ball over. As a result of the closely fought first half, the score remained 0 to 0 at the end of the second frame. At the beginning of the second half, both team showed new deter- mination to push the pigskin over the goal line. The Orioles received the kick-off on their own 40 yard line. Charlotte made a first down but the ledgers tightened up. Char- lotte was forced to kick to Grand Ledge's own 20 yard line. No yard- age was made by the Ledgers and when they attempted to kick out of danger on their third down, several members of the Charlotte team broke through to block It; Lee Wendell re- covering for the Orioles on Grand Ledge's 20 yard line. Becchler then advanced the ball up to about the ten yard line on a nice run off- tackle. On the next play Stringham threw the touch-down pass to Fowler making the score 6 to 0. Beechler kicked the extra point making the score 7 to 0. Grand l edge made several threats in the last quarter but was only able to gain a safety on a fumble by Char- lotte on their own 10 yard line. The Ledgers, after receiving the kick-off after the safety, returned the ball far Oriole leathers Hob Gunnison will lie eligible for only three gameH this season. His birthday in October will prevent his continuation. LET'S The Charlotte line averages 155 pounds which is light. The backfield averages 141 pounds which is lighter. Conclusion: Charlotte has a light team. GO In the game with Lakeview: Charlotte was penalized only twice during the game. Once for off-sides and another time for backfield iu motion. TO Bud Beechler ran 58 yards for u touchdown, after intercepting a Luke- view pass in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter. Speed , as he is called now. was really hoofing it. MASON Although Lakeview outgained Char- lotte 179 to 165 yards rushing, our Orioles more than made up for this in their pass.ng. The Charlotte eleven completed eight out of 16 passes at- tempted for 90 yards: to Lakeview's two completed out of five thrown for only nine yards. TOMORROW Coach Gobel didn't think much of his team's blocking and tuckling at Lakeview. He called the game a poor exhibition of football.’’ Let's watch for improvements of the team in these two fundamentals as the sea- son progresses. Meet the Ends May you become acquainted with: Dwight Haines. Jack Hicks. Robert Klaiss. and Leland Wendell, because they play a very important part on your football team. They are the ends: Dwight commonly known as Pete, and Jack are on the first team, and Rob and Leland arc on the second. Pete, number 33. is 5 ft. 9 in. and weighs 135 lbs. A senior, has one letter in football, and this is his third year out. Hob. number 38. Is 5 ft. Sty in. and weighs 137 lbs. A Junior, and this is his second year out. Jack, number 47. is 6 ft. 1 in. and weighs 157 lbs. A junior, and this is his second year out. Leland, number 50. Is 6 ft. and weighs 159 lbs. A junior, and this Is his second year out. Pete’s smile will be cast on every one of you at some time or another, so watch for It: It's Bob who looks up at you in the corner of his eyes, so you’ll know him: Jack has those uncontrolable legs that seem to al- ways be in the way: and Leland is the big fellow that is usually all tired out. and wanting sleep. These ends are commonly forgot- ten. so the next time the team is out on the field, why don't you look up number 33. 38. 47. 50. Orioles Defeat Lakeview 13-6 In Hard Fought Game The Charlotte high school football team defeated the Lakeview team by a score of 13 to 6. Saturday, Septem- ber 21. The Lakeview gridders gave coach Gobel of Charlotte, the jitters, by scor- ing the first touchdown of the game from the 10 yard line on Weeder’s left end run. Lakeview led by 6 points having missed the extra point. Charlotte tallied early in the third quarter on a 30-yard pass from String- ham to Hicks, standing in the end- zone. tying the score. Charlotte also failing to convert the extra point. Beechler made what proved to be the winning touchdown, running an intercepted pass in the last five min- utes of the fourth quarter, back 54 yards to score. Beechler then con- verted the extra point. The final score was Charlotte 13; Lakeview 6. Lansing Central Defeats C. H. S. Cross Country The Charlotte cross country team was defeated by the Lansing Central cross country team 24-31.

McCall Reporters ..............Rest of Journalism Class Keep Your Motor In Condition Every man has inside of him. the most won- derful motor in all the world. Its value to him and to others depends on the fuel he uses and whether his self-starter is working. After reading the following, you may want to give your motor an overhauling. Should you? Sure. “Dead Motor—Crash—Death . Did you ever see a headline like that? Sure you have, and it usually means the loss of the most precious thing in the world, a human life. It ought to make you think about your own motor. Every man is a self-contained motor. It runs only on mental and physical energy and is ac- celerated by desire and ambition. This mental and physical energy is developed through contacts with people, with their ideas and opinions and their ways of doing things. This desire and am- bition is, to be like those that are admired and famous. Through them a strong ambition may be developed to better one’s self, so that he may do something, so that because of him, others may prosper. He also manufactures the fuel that makes his motor run. and has its self-starter. But this fuel that he manufactures is made with the help of many. Yes. his brain power, which goes to make up this fuel, is almost entirely influ- enced by the writings and sayings of others. Do such motors as these, that are In the hands of millions, go dead? Not on your life. Commonly, the crash you read about is due to speed, un- certainty. or carelessness, and the fault of one person can cause this. But In this motor of the human body's, too many have influenced it and are responsible for seeing that it works perfectly to have one fault cause a crash. This world was not created for Just one per- son to live In. but for millions, who must work effectively, together, and make it a place for every- one to live in and everyone must offer his talents for their benefit as well as his own. He can not become talented without the aid of others, books, and experiences and he must use this talent of his for the betterment of them, if he is able to do so. They all helped to make him and his doings possible. The self-made man has a poor architect. He needs many good friends and excellent environ- ment to corral him and make him part of the world of today. For instance: Everyman is selling something, either his thoughts, desires, services, or merchandise, but he who sells himself usually has poor customers. Don’t always think of yourself, but. take more ol an Interest in others and in return you will find that they are doing the same. Remember everyone you know—helps to make up that motor of yours, and you. yourself help to make up the motors of others and to keep them in good run- ning condition. Co-operate with all those other people, they help all these motors run smooth. Editor’s Life “What have you done”. St. Peter asked. That I should admit you here?” “I ran a paper”, the editor said. ”At my high school for one long year.” St. Peter pityingly shook his head and gravely | touched the bell. “Come in, poor thing, select a harp you’ve had your share of hell.” The Vicksburg Times. We Need You Too! All of us have one weakneas in common. | Abraham of the Bible days had the same weak- ness. It is namely: we like to be urged on. Our school board, teachers, honor students, sportsmen, and even those who only do their best but seem to get nowhere, are human, and like to have someone cheer them on. I do. don’t you? If you do. why don’t you. “do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” and show your school spirit by cheering for all who are doing their best to heap the honors high for good ole C. H. S.” If you do this, you’ll soon find that people are giving the fighting urge you need so much. I Compliment You Our guest artist. Mr. Heaney, when speaking j at the Rotary club Tuesday evening, and later to Principal Harlan McCall said, quote: The stu- dents were to be complimented on their splendid attitude in both morning and evening programs. He liked the enthusia m. but most of all he liked the courteous attention shown him. Mr. Heaney said that the attitude shown to him by many schools and groups, caused him to feel that he would not be welcomed there again. In the assembly Tuesday, the conduct of the stu- dent body was appreciated. It is difficult for young people to keep their disapproving comments to themselves. They all know that no man is superhuman and that these lH-rformances can be given only because some men are experts on drawing the attention of the spectators to one movement, while another is be- ing made.

All the boys that play on the gridiron will tell you that it’s no place for an under average person. Just as quick ns school is out. all the boys run for the locker room to change from their clothes Into the dust beaten suits. After a nice long walk to the field, they begin a long and hard practice which leaves them tired and worn out. but happy. Then they come back to school and indulge in the best part of the practice, the I cool and refreshing shower which follows. The biggest thrill of all is the day when the team goes forth into battle against Eaton Rap- ids. your traditional rivals. All through the game you are tense and nervous until the last minute when Charlotte scores the winning touchdown and your dreams come true. Malcolm Gobel, coach of the football team, is organizing a team to beat this peaky Eaton Rapids squad which seems to come up with a winning team against all. The spirit of the team may give our deserving coach, a team he can be proud of. for It may take large persons to make a good team, but a team with good spirit can’t be beat. Letfs Eat! 12 o'clock! The bell rings and away you go to eat your dinner. Most of you go home to fill j your tummies, but did you know that there are quite a few who eat right here in this very build- ing? The girls eat In the home economics depart- ment and the boys eat up in the agriculture room. Of course, during warm weather some of them eat in their cars. As the bookstore is open all noon hour there is usually a group standing around It. If you should visit the agriculture room at this time of day you would probably find some boys and girls playing ping-pong or participating in some other sort of game. As a matter of fact, I think the rural stu- dents have an advantage over the city students. What do you think? Girls! The boat way to keep your youth is not to introduce him to your girl friends.
