El lil OCT. 23-L. H. S. vs. CAMDEN Vtfith due determination to win Lanier journeyed to Camden and de- feated the gridders of that town Z0-l4, in a very fast and hard fought game. ln the opening of the game Camden kicked to Lanier and we returned the ball to the forty-yard line where we were held for downs. The hrst quarter went rather slow but in the second quarter Lanier scored two touchdowns but won only one of her trys for points. The second half showed Camden coming back with lots of iight and they scored two touchdowns in quick succession. and made both of their trys for points good. Score at third quarter. Camden 14g Lanier l3. ln the last quarter Lanier outplayed Camden in all departments and in the few minutes of the last quarter, George, halfback of L. H. S., recovered a ball off a broken drop kick and scored a touchdown. Klepinger's try for point was good. The final whistle then sounded and the score was Lanier 20, Camden l4. NOV. 6-OXFORD vs. LANIER After the Lanier gridders had recuperated from the victory they scored over Camden the preceding Friday, they played Oxford on the opponent's field. This game was rather slow on Lanier's part due to the absence of Captain Suggs from the lineup in the backfield. But we succeeded in hold- ing them to a scoreless tie O-O. This was the third game out of four we played to a scoreless tie. The first quarter found Oxford outplaying Lanier on offense but Lanier put up a good defensive game. The second quarter Lanier pepped up a lit- tle and held Oxford to very few substantial gains. VV'e were doing fairly well on end runs which was our mainstay. The third quarter Oxford was twice within six inches of a touchdown but our line held and threw them for losses. This quarter Oxford again outplayed us on offense. The last quarter was just a seesaw back and forth and the game ended in a scoreles tie. NOV. 20-EATON vs. LANIER This game was played at Lanier.

The graduating class of 1925 took with them four members of the Var- sity basketball quintet. Their absence no doubt was noticed in the first few games, but the reserves of last yearys squad Filled each vacancy very well. Coach Hoerner issued a call for basketball men, and nineteen responded. The brightest prospects were Captain Suggs, Suman, Klepinger, Meyers, Baughman, Miley, Hamm, and Bell. There were also a few yearlings out for the team. The season was very successful in that only one game was lost up to the semi-finals in the County Tourney.
