After this uncalled for delay, Coypean and Crondier sailed to Central Africa where their ex- plorations for Indian reservations were to commence. One day while walking' through the woods, they happened upon a deserted Indian reservation. This was better luck than they had hoped for since In- dian reservations Were few and far between. But the minute they stepped into the open, they found themselves surrounded by Indians. They jumped back into the shelter of the woods, but to their great horror, they landed at the feet of a wild ant. Crondier ran, but Coy- pean was so terrified that he could not move. As Crondier looked back over his shoulder, he saw the ant leap on tContinued on page 3341 An Interview with Mrs. Duval Hudson Jones I'm a Widow with 5 Children . . . . and I can't afford to take chances with CHEAP BAKING POWDER-I!

THE WEAKEN WEAKEN 3 ALL E IOR C UGHTI SIXZZTQZ Shipbuilders Defeat Crabbers By Close Margin In Thriller Newport News Wins Annual Contest By Score of 1-0. Fighting valiantly and playing better football than they have shown this year, the Gold and Blue Typhoon eked out a 1-0 victory over the Hampton Crabbers in the annual grid battle which was held on the Newport News high school gridiron December 33. The Ty- phoon scored first on a lateral pass on the kickoff when Captain Ivers received the pass from Captain Hayes and raced across the line. A few minutes later another pass, from Captain Hudson to Captain Baker was completed for the sec- ond touchdown which gave the Ty- phoon a 0-0 lead . Here the Crabbers rallied and started a drive which carried them to the fifteen yard line where a bad pass from center halted the march. The Hamptonians could not be denied, however, and a pass placed the ball deep in Newport's territory. A combination forward and lateral pass, Krab to Jones was good' for a score. Smith place-kicked the extra point. The score stood at the end of the first quarter: Newport News, 03 Hamp- ton, 6. Newport News scored again in the second quarter when Captain Ashby intercepted a Hampton pass and ran through the whole team for a touchdown. The half ended: Newport News, 7, Hampton, 5. In the third period' the Ship- builders were driven back to the shadow of their own goal where Captain Lewis downed the ball to give Hampton two points on a safety rather than risk having a punt blocked and a possible score. In the last quarter, Captain Cater snatched a Hampton fumble in mid-air and ran about forty yards to cross the line for the final score. Newport News, stall- ing for time, kept the ball for the remainder of the game which end- ed, Newport News, 1, Hampton, 0. The lineups: N. N. H. S. Pos. Hampton Saunders ........ LE ..............

Jane Saunders: If we go about the game in a geometrical manner and take advantage of the 'breaks', then I am sure we will 'Crush the Crabbers'. Frances Lewis: I have nothing to say except that 'It wasn't told to me I only heard' that Hampton is using the claw system which consists of a double reverse back- field. I wonder if double reverse means to go in the same direction twice. Rebecca Wlilliams: Remember that I like 'Jello' after the game in its six delicious flavers of or- ange, chocolate, vanilla, tuttifruit, walnut and raspberry.
