Murphy Tops
Bryson City 19-0
By WALTER CARRINGER
Under beautiful October skies
the Murphy Bulldogs ran rough
shod over the Bryson City eleven
here last Friday. Coach Smith's
reorganized and rejuvenated team
took the lead at the opening kick
off and had their own way 'till the
closing whistle. Not once did the
visitors seriously threaten to score.
Every man on the team got a
chance to play, and the fellows
you usually see on the side line
proved they had the stuff it takes
to make a good ball player.
Bryson kicked off to Murphy and
after an uneventful first period,
the quarter ended with Bryson in
possession of the ball on their own
20. The Big Dogs held the visitors
and they had to kick from about
their own goal. The kick was bad.
and Brendie too* it on riryson's
30. Proving his ability as a real
scat-back, Brendie shook loose
from two would be tacklers and
scampered down the side line to
score standing up. Green passed
to Alexander for the extra point.
Murphy kicked to Bryson and
after an exchange of plays the
bulldogs drove the ball down to
the Bryson 35. Davidson faked a
lateral to Green, and skirting left
end, ran through the whole oppos
ing team to score the second tally.
The try for extra point was short
and the half ended with the Bull
dogs ahead 13-0.
Murphy kicked to Bryson to
open the second half, and the
Bryson back made a brilliant run i
to the Bulldogs 45. Millsaps made |
the tackle stopping a sure touch
down run. Pieklesimer intercept
ed a Bryson pass on the Bulldogs
30 Davidson and Green drove
the ball down to the Bryson 5,
where Green shot a pass to McDon
ald in the end zone for the third
score. Try for extra point failed
and score stood 19 to 0. Third
quarter ended with Murphy on
visitors 40 yard line.
ai beginning of last quarter
Murphy drove to Bryson's 30
where the visitors took over on
downs. Here they put on their
major threat of the afternoon driv
ing down to the Bulldog 25. Anx
ious to score they began passing
and one pass was intercepted by
Brendle. Murphy held the ball
until the end of the game.
The line up was as follows: Right
end, Hughes, right tackle. Row
land. right guard, Warner, center,
Picklesimer. left guard. Millsaps.
left tackle. Johnson, left end
Brendle. full back. Davidson, right
half. Lovingood. quarter back.
Green. Substitutions: Anderson.
Keener. R. Lovingood. McDonald,
Pricks, Harden, Hendricks. Howell,
Dockery, Dalrymple, Maxey. My
ers, Arrowood, Stalcup, Clark,
Hampton, and Hall.
Warner at right guard and
Picklcsimer at center turned in
top performances in the line. John
*<?!? who plays left end on defense
and left tackle on offense, has
greatly improved with experience
and played an excellent game as
did Hughes at right end. who has
keen shifted from the back field to
'ill that position.
The Bulldog fans want to con
gratulate Coach Smith on his im
proved team. By getting some of
Jest players off the bench he now
as what looks ,o me like a "dream
team" in high school circles. The
> Democratic rallies will be held
al Andrews and Murphy next Tues
day and Wednesday evenings, re
spectively, with Monroe M. Redden
of Hendersonville, candidate for
U. S. Congress and Dan K. Moore
of Sylva, candidate for solicitor of
this district, speaking, according
to announcement by H. A. Mattox,
j chairman of the Democratic exe
cutive committee.
The speaking wil be held at the
city hall in Andrews on Tuesday
evening, October 22, at 8 o'clock.
The two candidates will speak at
the courthouse in Murphy on Wed
nesday, October 23, at 8 o'clock.
The meeting is open to everyone
who wishes to hear these two can
didates.
Murphy Has
A Blackout
A "hot wire" on an essential part

? Fire swept the planing mill,
lumber yard and cement block yard
of W. G. Phillips, between Murphy
and Marble, early Tuesday eve
ning, completely destroying the
buildings and stock and leaving
the machinery a useless wreck.
Guy Barton, who operated the
plant, noticed smoke from the dry
kiln, which was followed by an
explosion. Spontaneous combus
tion is thought to be the reason for
the fire. Except for the night
watchman there was no one else at
the plant.
Murphy's fire truck made a fast
run but was of little use because
the flames quickly spread out of
control.
W. G. Phillips owned the plant,
i There was no insurance on any of
the property. With no fire protec
tion in that area the insurance rate
is prohibitive. The mill manu
factured flooring and all kinds of
finished lumber and was valued at
$6,000.
