Good One You might say the man was angry It was after the lorence Columbia football game riday night and Coach Jim Wall exactly happy He displeased at the outcome of the game Quite the contrary It was some fans that got him a little upset We have known Jim Wall for just about a year now and ri day night we saw him angry for the first time He had been berated and slightly scorned by some of the lorence spectators for allowing the Columbia Caps to score two touchdowns in the waning minutes of the game Jim knows all fans have a right to express their opinions biased partisan or whatever But when it comes to telling the coach how to run the team well more than expressing an opinion You just cant tell the other fellow how to run his job Wall is thinking about next year This is not the last year of football for lorence The Yel low Jackets will be playing again It was a wise coach that put in reserves riday night to get some most valuable exper ence against a good Columbia team when the score was 27 0 SOME ANS seemed to think that the more soundly lorence whipped the visitors the higher the Jackets would be rated in the high school standings this week Thev were sixth in one and tied for third in another Here are the facts No mat ter how badly lorence beat Co lumbia the outcome of the polls would be the same With the score 27 0 and with five min utes to plav why not let tne get
