Editorial ; ,
For the first time in years Athena
Hi's football team beat the jinx and
turned the tables on Touchet.- - For
years past Athena has never - been
able to turn the tide of victory in her
favor. The inferior complex of the
losing team aids to develop a jinx.
Before starting the past games the
attitude has been that they couldn't
be beaten and Athena has fought with
this , in mind. -However, this year,
Athena was determined to win and
the results show that this new atti
tude was better than the other. There
is no such thing as a jinx, but it is
possible for a team to be influenced
greatly by a supposed existing jinx.
The players who consider they are
jinxed go into competition with a
feeling that they are the "under dogs"
and the opponents are insurmount
able. . In every walk of life from the
farm to the office, if you make up
your mind you cant win, you will
lose; but if you make up your mind
to win, it will go a long way to
wards winning success. Pershing
never lost heart when he started his
march on Berlin. William Pitt,
famous English leader, was very con
fident that he could defeat the French.
Many other examples go to prove that
it is best to be determined to win.
Over confidence is probably as great
a fault as under confidence and it
often leads to failure but the truth
of the proverb, "If you have a will
to win, you will find a way" is psycho
logically true.
V Athletics
The Athena High school boys fought
their way to the first victory of the
season last Friday, against Touchet,
defeating them thirteen to nine. The
first touchdown was scored by Ath
ena in the first quarter, with only
four downs needed to carry the pig
skin across the line from a kickoff.
Myrick made a beautiful end run of
about twenty yards to' put it across.
In the second quarter Touchet made a
splendid place kick scoring three
points. The half "ended six to. three
in Athena's favor.
Touchet made a touchdown in the
third quarter but Athena was a
smashing whirlwind from then on and
couldn't be stopped. Athena scored
another touchdown in the last quart
er and made their try for a point.
The game was well played by both
teams.
The line-up was as follows: right
end, Emery Rogers; right tackle,
Stafford Hansell right guard, Bob
Campbell; center, Fred Singer; left
guard, Cecil Pambrun, left tackle,
Walter Huffman; left end, John
Kirk; quarter, Art Crowley; right
half, Ralph Moore; left half, Jack
Moore; fullback, Eldon Myrick.
Solista Pickett and Herbert Reed
er were the only substitutes used.
