Murphy Fights Strong Sylva
Hurricane To 12-12 Draw
Murphy' ? Bull dor* showed in
creased power and gained stature
last Friday though they were de
nied victory when they battled the
Sylva Golden Hurricane to a 12-12
tie.
The gam* ? played before a large
crowd on the Sylva field ? was fUP
ed with thrills, including a spectac
ular 60 yard touchdown run by co
capt. Burke Moore of Murphy, in
the first quarter.
With the score tied the Bulldogs
made powerful thrusts in the final
! quarter toward another touchdown.
Two costly fumbles ? one within a
yard of the Hurricane goal snuffed
out the surges.
Murphy's first score came early
in the game. Sylva received the
kick-off and' were forced to punt.
The Bulldogs took the ball on their
own 48 yard line, and with good
opening plays went deep into Sylva
territory.
From the 19 yard line co-captain
Hubert Sneed, end took a pass from
Burt Birchfield and scampered in
to the end zone. The try for the
extra point was missed ? the first
of four of the night with the same
result.
After an exchange of punts the
Hurricane opened & sustained
drive with Fullback Tommy Mason
featured, that carried far into Mur
phy territory. A pass to Queen,
Sylva end, tied the score.
Later In the second period Moore
slipped off right tackle, and, aided
by a good block, raced for the 60 ?
yard pointer. Mason made a 30
yard kick-off return for Sylva be
fore the half ended.
The Hurricane returned with
greater drive in the third period
and broke through the Bulldog de
fense. Neither team scored, how
ever, but late in the fourth period
Sylva recovered a Murphy fumble
in mid-field that gave the Hurri
cane another chance.
The Sylva eleven punched and
scurried the distance in a welldi
' rected thrust, including a notable
broken field by Shannon to Mur
phy's 12 yard line.
Mason battered across for the
score.
John Morris returned the kick
off to the 87 for the Bulldogs; and
