MURPHY DEFEATED' IN DOUBLEHEADER BY CLAY CAGERS The Murphy Invasion of Hayesville last Friday was a complete failure as the locals went to a double defeat at the hands ol the Clay countians. In the opening contest Murphy sorely missed the services of a regu lar forward and as a result dropped their, second contest of the season to the Hayesville girls to the tune of 34-24. Nina Jones was unable to ac company the team due to illness and her rebound work was greatly missed. Hayesville grabbed an early lead and were never headed although brief flurries by Murphy gave faint hopes new and then. Murphy's boys started off like a house afire to run s 6 to 2 lead before Hayesville could get started. The first quarter found Hayesville with a 7-6 lead and thereafter the game was all Hayesville. Many substitu tions were employed by the locals and the game ended with the second stringers of both teams fighting it out for the honors.
