murphy whips strong sylva team friday Fourteen to 6 Victory j Makes It Eleven In A Row For Boomers By Hubert Adams, Jr. Trailing 7 to 6 in the last quarter, j Murphy came from behind and on a short off tackle play, Jr., Barnett, raced 15 yards for the winning touchdown to defeat a hard fiehting Sylva eleven, 13 to 6 Friday. This was the same score that Waynesville had defeated the Sylva team earlier in the season. It was in the last quarter that Murphy showed the benefit of their pass defense, which they have been working on for the past week. Sylva tried 10 passes in the last quarter, but did not complete a one. It was a hard fought victory for Murphy, but their first downs as compared to Sylva's first downs should have given them the victory. This was the first time that Murphy had been behind in the score in the last two years, andn they showed the spirit to win, by never giving up. Some of the men giving favorable account of themselves are as follows: Smith, right tackle, gave a good account of himself by being in on every play, Johnson fullback, is showing more driving power; Mauney, halfback, is a shifty broken field runner; Barnett, halfback, is a hard driving back and hard to stop; Taylor, quarterback, a splendid pass receiver, and a man who can always pain ground when it is needed; Townson, halfback, fast and hard to stop in the open. The line charges hard and low, and a very few men have found it easy to penetrate in the last two years. To Moot Copperhill Murphy plays Copperhill here this Friday, at 3:00 P. M., and fans will recall that it was Copperhill that came near marring Murphy's perfect record last year. The fans will also remember that Millsaps tossed Henderson a lateral in the waning minutes of the game and Henderson raced 75 yards for a touchdown to defeat Copperhill 7 to 0. Copperhill would call it a successful season if they lost all their other games and defeated Murphy, so this Friday should be a very interesting game from the \ spectators view point. Coach O. W. Deaton said that he intends to pull a surprise play over the boys from the basin this week, if necessary, otherwise, he is going to save it for a certain Thanksgiving game later on this season. \ THE GAME PLAY BY PLAY k By Mildred Hill I First Quarter 1 Leatheerwood kicked off to Sylva i who kicked on the first play.

Several Sylva players were hurt during the game and the Boomer's first accident on the field this season occured at the end of the third quarter when Hayes Leatherwood was knoked out but not seriously injured.
