Kernel Pigskin Pumters Victors at Homecoming Kernel guns began booming about August 24, with 30 men answering the call to arms. With a full fourfweeks training bee hind them, the Kernelmen attempted their long-planned invasion of the Vtfatertown Arrow stronghold. Buck fever, inexperience, or lack of weight, forced the Kernels to re- turn with the short end of a disputed final score, l9 to l3. The following week, the Kernelmen, grinding hard against the Brookings Bobcats in a game where a lucky break would spell victory for one of the evenly matched elev- ens, lost 6 to O. Dorn, tricky Brookings speed- ster, got that break, when he gobbled up a Mitchell pass and raced 85 yards for the only points of the game. Part of a new stadium and a barrage of Kernel spirit hit the Warriors as they arrived it F October 3, and for one solid half, a bewil- dered, but heavier Warrior crew went where the Kernels led them. But finding their range in the final sessions the visitors managed to push across l2 points before the tired Kernels moved. The Warriors added seven more and then Kernel bravery and stamina began to show. With scarce minutes left in the final canto the Kernels moved downfield carrying Lochridge QU yards for a brilliant punt return, and the most outstanding running and block- ing of the game, but l9 to 6 read the third Kernel setback.
