The Whiteland Demonstration Cross Country Team Will Run For Its Dinner Banquet Is Planned For Team Members At Close Of 1956 Season It has been said that a starving man can do anything and local fans will find out if the adage is true when the most unusual race in the history of Cross Country is run near the close of the 1956 season by the Franklin High School Cross Country (cam. The Kentucky Derby is called the "run for the roses" so this race can lie called the "run for the turkey," because that is the first prize. Second prize in the race is a nice fat chicken and for that poor, tired last-place finisher, lie re is the consolation prize, an egg. This entire business seems pretty funny, but the innovation by Cross Country Coach Robert Claxton is expected to establish an event that will become an annual affair at the mm Guinnup Places Eighth In Open Local Golfers Fail To Place At Lebanon Professional golfer Jim Guinnup, of Lafayette, who is no stranger to Franklin golfers, finished the second 36 holes in the Indiana Open Golf Tournament at Lebanon Thursday with a total of 288 which gained him eighth spot, nine strokes behind the winner, Joe Campbell.

Dr. Lennis Murphy and Bill Campbell, Franklin's contribution to the open match, both lost ground on the final day and failed to place. Golfers with totals above 312 were not listed. Is Consistent Guinnup, ho coached basketball at Center Grove in the late 1940s, showed consistency as he finished the tourney last year nine strokes behind the first-place Campbell. He was the same number of strokes behind the defending champ when the tourney came to a close yesterday.

But Purdue's amateur found the competition plenty tough this year as he capitalized on the last 36 holes to come from behind to beat pro Noel Epperson. Campbell had a total score of 277, which put him three strokes ahead of Epperson, who cooled eff in the last half of the tourney and wound up with a 280. Epperson scored a 146 on the second 36 holes as compared to his fantastic 134 which he registered on the first 36. By Irene Duckett The attendance Sunday was 31 and the offering was $5.70. Mr.

The youthful halfback has shown up as a bright spot, especially on defense, this year and with age, experience, and good work could become a pretty good prospect in a couple of years. school, a banquet for the Cross Country team just as there are banquets for basketball and football teams.

To Be On Menu The winners of the turkey and chicken will return their prizes to be prepared for the first Cross Country banquet. The winner of the egg gets to keep his prize. It is hoped tnat a couple of additional turkeys and chickens can be added to the menu so that there will be enough for everyone on the team. Coach Claxton's idea in the "turkey race" is to develop a "fun to run" attitude in Cross Country. It is a hard job to go out every day and run.

work, and strive to bring honor for both the persons running and their school. All of the loys out for Cross Country enjoyed a picnic at Prince's Lake last night where the team took a "day off" from the regular practice grind. Activities like this make work into fun. Coach Claxton also announced that new uniforms which will be used for both Cross Country and Track this school year have been purchased. The uniforms have blue pants trimmed in white and the jorscys are also blue with a three-inch white sash across the chest.

Coach Robert Claxton hit upon the idea that could blossom into an annual postseason banquet for the Cross Country team. It will be a lot of fun and competition within the team and will provide the meat for the banquet.

Also, a picnic for the team was held at Prince's Lakes Thursday night. Both events, and others like it. will help to develop the idea that it is fun to work and compete. Many people do not understand the great amount of work that goes into training and working out to excel in a sport. Local Grid Team Will Have Dress Drill On Monday Franklin High School football fans will get their first look at the 1956 edition of the local gridiron team Monday night, August 27.

when the "Blues" play the "Whites" at the local field at 7 p.m. Admission into the intra-squad game will be either a package or two of chewing gum or a cake of soap. No cash fee will be charged, just the chewing gum and soap, which will be used by the team throughout the season. To Use First Stringers Coach Jesse "Doe" Lash will probably put a first string backficld against his best defensive line in the game to give both units a good, tough scrimmage before their first game with Edinburg on August 31. The starting backficld and defensive line put up Monday night will not necessarily determine the starters for Friday night's game with Edinburg in that the players on the high school teams may switch jerseys and play for both teams.

It is Coach Lash's idea to mix up the players so that everyom can get a chance to play both defense and offense. K- V- V.

State Tournament. Franklin High School grid hopefuls will get a chance to exhibit their wares to Coach Doc Lash Monday evening at a dress scrimmage. The local footballeres have been working out for seven days now and have only one more practice (tonight) before the full-dress affair. In order to make it more work and an evener game. Mr.

Lash will put a first-string backficld against a first-string line, thereby giving the second-string groups better support. But. the starting 1 lineups won't tell much because before the game is over, most of the boys will probably have plnxcd for both teams. Afier the Monday game, there will be three more practices to go over the mistakes and iron out the kinks that show up in the game. Then comes Edinburg, the first game be fere the local team goes off on a four-game conference jaunt that will pit Franklin against Columbus.
