Farrar Coach P’rank Davidson Manager Faced with an almost unsurmountable task of building a football team out of green material in less than a month’s time, L. H. S.’s new pigskin tutor, J. B. Farrar, started from scratch the first week of September. Among the twenty-three candidates answering his call. Coach Farrar found three lettermen, Joe Stanley, Jimmie Adair, and Earl Lawhorne. The remainder of the squad was composed mostly of inexperienced recruits. For three weeks these boys were subjected to every phase of gridiron knowledge. On October ist, Lexington eked out its first win of the season over Hot Springs, 13-12, on the home field. Despite the final result it was evident that the game as a whole was ragged and needed to acquire some polish. The following week-end found a vastly improved Scarlet Hurricane eleven bowing to the Clifton Forge Alountaineers, 13-0, in a bitter struggle on the Clifton turf. Lexington threatened several times, but lacked the scoring punch to put the ball over. ( 28 )
