GREENWOOD COMMONWEALTH, GREENWOOD, SATURDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 22, 1939. PAGE FIVE PLAY CRACKERS HERE SUNDAY 1939 OFFICIAL COTTON STATES LEAGUE SCHEDULE HOT SPRINGS PINE BLUFF HELENA CLARKSDALE I GREENVILLE GREENWOOD I EL DORADO MONROE AFTERNOON WHITES DEFEAT REDS IN SPRING GRID GAME The Whites evened the score last night by taking the fourth game of the spring football practice series at the Greenwood High Senool from the Reds, winning last night by a 20 to 7 score. It was Bobby Nader's passing that gave the Whites their win last night. Nader passed for two touchdowns and scored the other on a running play.

When the game started looked bad for the Whites. On the first play of the game, Charlie Parker took the ball on an off tackle play, cut back and galloped sixty yards down the field for a touchdown. The Whites retaliated by scoring with Bobby Nader flipping a twenty yard pass to Billy Dowdle, who ran forty yards, for a touchdown. In the second period Nader passed to Juchheim for another touchdown, this pass being twenty-five yards in length. Nader made the final score in the fourth period.

The running of Parker and Ernest Wynn for the Reds war outstanding, while Nader, Juchheim and Tominello did some good ball carrying for the Whites. Ben Merriweather, White halfback, showed up well, and Pierce at tackle for the Whites, and Cobb, Red tackle, looked good. The opposing centers, Eugene Simmons and Homer Creswell, played bang up ball and both starred defensively. The lineups: Reds Whites Farrish Thomas Cobbs Harris White Bidwell Simmons Creswell Weir T.
