Bradford, 18-year old negro of Girard. sustained a fractured skull and sevi re intestinal injuries. Bradford was carried to Vicksb and admitted at the Street's sanitarium at II o'clock Saturday night.

At the present" writing the negro 's still alive, but acording to latest reports from the sanitarium he has slight for recovery. 2 It was stated that Bradford, tn company with his brother, both to this section, employed on the Myrick plantation, were walking across the trestle and that when the train approached, the younger negro, realizing the danger, hung onto one of the crossbeams of the trestle while the other started to run to beat the train across. He was not quick enough to get out of danger and Ihe engine struck him, hurtling him about 40 feet to the ground below. Conductor Berkely was in charge of the train and engineer Sam Graham told an employee of this paper that he did all in his power-to avert the accident and proof of this is attested in the fact that when the train was brought to a standstill the rear coach was still on the trestle. According to Mr.

Graham he was running on schedule time and halted the train as quickly as possible. The lucky negro to escape unscathed on body was lunatic following the accident and was unable to tell the injured negtot's name at the time being. He is stiil suffering from the scare and may possibly lose his mind.

When-everohe saw a player with a fault, no matter how small it may have been, Blue: always took time out to help correct t. After completing his intercollegiate careei, Hogg was offered a luring professional contract by an Eastern town. Blue, however, felt that he could do more good and gain more personal entertainment out of coaching youngsters. His first job was at Bernice where he installed football for its first time. Naturally, few victories were scored by his proteges, but they all were embedded with that typical winning spirit which is so characteristic of Blue Hogg.

Last season, his second, found the popular star at Rayville where he turned out a North Louisiana class championship but lost the title in the playoff at Baton Rouge to Kentwood He has repeated this season, which is all that could possibly be asked of a coach who is working without assist- ants and must divide his time between the line and backfield. Sport-O-Meter. ABOl TIIE NEW YEAR'S DAY GAME Coaches Paul Neal and Blue Hogg deserve unlimited praise for their achievement with the class aggregation of stars. On the first day the players reported for practice was evident that there were many boys on the mythical eleven which had no place there. The backfield talent was plentiful, but the line players lacked both size, fight and experience.

There remained only one logical move to make to convert backfield boys into linesmen. Looking over the squad the mentors picked Tom Witt, Winnsboro, and Tom Spiers, Delhi, both halfbacks, for the ends. George Mitchell, Rayville halfback, was stationed at guard and Big Jim Richards. Winnsboro fullback, shifted to tackle. This quartet of rugged.

Now that this point seems to be fairly well established, shouldn't something be done about it? Of course, everybody realizes that this separation of the state into two classes is done for the purpose of aiding the smaller schools, those with only enrollments of a hundred or so students.
