The Ellaville Sun Friday, November 18, 1938 SCHLEY GIRLS EXTEND STREAK TO FIVE; IDEAL HERE TUESDAY Ellaville Clubs Conquer Richland In Doubleheader Schley county high school's basketball forces move against Ideal high school in a doubleheader here Tuesday night in their only program of the holiday week. The Ellaville girls sought to extend to six games their perfect record for the season and the boys were gunning for their fourth conquest when they engaged Cusseta here last night. The locals captured a twin bill at Richland Tuesday night, the girls winning by 33 to 25 and the boys emerging on top of a 26-22 decision. Ellaville's girls were forced to get in there and scrap for the edge for the first time this year. Ahead only 15 to 13 at halftime, the locals had trouble protecting that margin in the free-scoring final half. Lillian Purvis paced the pointmakers with 14 and Christine Allmon shot 12. Displaying marked improvements, the boys assumed an early lead and maintained it. 14-9, at the intermission. Carl Hobbs and Roney Jordan shared scoring honors with eight points. Ellaville divided with Oglethorpe Friday night. The girls badly out-classed the visitors and took the decision handily, 26 to 7. The Jackets lost 34 to 18 but cheered their supporters with an improved game. Geraldine Williams' 15 points led the girls while Junior Harden's seven was high for the boys. Derrick, Oglethorpe boys' forward, hooped 20 points. NEGRO HELD FOR MURDER Joe Lockhart Awaiting Trial in April Joe Lockhart, Schley county negro, was in jail here Thursday, awaiting trial at the April term of superior court for the confessed slaying of P.J. Brown, also a Schley county negro. Sheriff E.C. Rigsby said Lockhart admitted shooting Brown with a shotgun about 3 o'clock Sunday morning as the out growth of a quarrel started at a barbecue earlier in the night. Brown tool Lockhart's pistol from him at the barbecue, Rigsby said, and refused to return it. After going home to get his gun, Lockhart shot Brown through the shoulder, took his pistol from the body and fled, the sheriff stated. Later in the day the negro came here and surrendered.
