Thursday, Oct. 29, 193( MURPHY BEATS j CULLOWHEE B' TEAM 14-9 HERE Boomers Play Brilliant Ba'l To Make It 14 In A Row BY HUBERT ADAMS, JR. One of the most exciting and hard* est fought battles was waged on the local football field last Friday, Octo ber 23. 1936. when Murphy High, out-weighed 15 pounds to the man, outfought, outgained, and outscored a more experienced team, which was made up of former high school stars. Cullowhce College "11" team came to Murphy expecting a set-up, but that did not find the set-up that they were expecting as Murphy crushed them by a one sided score of 14 to 0. It was a battle marked with thrills from beginning to end, and j the Murphy boys reached their peak of the season, and should finish undefeated, but there is always some team which would rather spoil a good record than anything else. Murphy has several more gaiucs t" play and not a one of them is a set up, in fact about two of them ha?'e an even chance of beating them. If Murphy could get through this season undefeated it is hoped by Coach O. \V. Doatun that he can get a post season game with some larger high school in this state preferably Asheville High School. This is the thirteenth straight victory for the locnl r-Inh ntwl tTin\? kavn not lost a game in the last 17 starts, being tied once by Andrews at the finish of the 11)34 season. The whole team played the best game of their football career. Luckett, Leathcrwood. Smith, and Hobb Taylor were outstanding in the line, while Mauney, O. Taylor, Johnson, and Barnett played a splendid game in the baekfield. This game was marked by hard clean tackling, and good blocking, the best that has ever been seen on the local field. This coming Friday, Oct. 30, 1936, Murphy meets Hayesville High at 3:00 P. M. This team has improved steadily during the season, and should give the boys a better game than they expect. We are hoping that the team will not let down after their splendid victory over the ' *'B" team of Cullowhee, a team which was undefeated, untied, and unscored on before tackling Murphy High. PLAY BY PLAY MILDRED HILL Humphries kicked 40 yards to Murphy, Johnson returning the ball ] yards. Mauney made a 4 yard gain on an end run. Taylor carried through the line for a gain of 2 yards. Another 2 yards was made when Johnson tried an end run. Barnett then punted, but Cullowhee being offsides, the ball was return- | ed to Murphy.

Poultry Should Be Shut Up Now Ketner Declares Farmers who raise poultry on a? arge scale are advised to shut them . ip in a laying house now in order o insure good production this winer, according to A. Q. Ketner, Cherokee county agent. Chickens are really temperamenal, Ketner says, and for cooH nrn. ~ - ? I. its it is best to put them in the aying houses as they will not lay J luring the damp, cold weather from tow until spring if not penned up. Ketner advises that the houses be * ;ept clean and comfortable to pro note good laying and that the hens ! >e given plenty of fresh water. About J 'ive gallons of water should be used laily for each 100 hens and they J hould be given about as much wet ' nash at noon time each day as they . :ould consume in about 10 minutes. \ Another important phase in fos ering profitable laying is to cull the 1 Hock each fall, he says. Take out ; til those hens thai remain on the < roost a long time after daylight and J valk around droopy. About five or 10 out of each 100 will be found to 1 je bad producers, Ketner declared.
