Pupils Request Art Classes —o “Teacher, Teacher, Teacher, Teacher!” sang the cloen-bird, en couragingly and persistently, as it pecked the berries on the dog wood tree. Interpreting, this as a friendly reminder of the “call” from those pupils of our public school who had requested a special art teacher. The committee again bestirred itself. The name your own Miss Jessie Stockard having been mentioned as a possibility, an immediate call was made.

Art has been Miss Stockard’s avocation and hobby for years. ! She has had many pupils and is | now teaching in Montreat. Inter i ested in every “school” of draw ing and painting in recent years, Miss Stockard has made a special study of the “modern schools.” And now, our cloen-bird sings out exultingly in his triumph and approval: “Teacher!

Byrdmen Win Fifth Straight Victory, 27-0 o By Richard Capps On a muddy, rain soaked field Coach Eugene Byrd’s Black Moun tain Darkhorses pounded out a 27 to 0 victory over the hard fight ing Mars Hill eleven here Thurs day afternoon. It was the fifth straight triumph for the locals. Every man on the squad saw action with the exception of first string halfback L. D. Turner who is out with a bad knee. Mars Hill stayed on the defen sive throughout the game. Through a series of kickbacks they man aged to hold the Black Mountain gridders scoreless for the first quarter but in the opening minutes of the second canto the locals began a march which carried them over the double stripe. Sparked by Everette Stephen son and Cecil Fortune, with a series of off tackle slants by Med ford, the Darkhorses stayed on the Mars Hill side of the midfield stripe throughout the quarter and held a 14-0 lead at the half. Luke Medford scored both touch downs—the first on a ten yard off tackle gallop and the second on a five yard plunge. Marett tallied the first extra point and L. Barnwell the second. The only threat by Mars Hill came in the third quarter when Bennett intercepted the pigskin and ran 70 yards from the Mars Hill 20 to the Black Mountain 10 before being knocked out of bounds by Reese. This threat was short lived and Mars Hill was compelled to punt. Here the running trio of Stevens, Fortune, and Barnwell got rolling and behind the remark able idocking laid down by the line headed for paydirt. After Stephenson had carried it over for Black Mountain Coach Byrd called on Jack Ramsey, the big boy with the “golden toe” and he connected for the third extra point with a beautiful end-over end kick that sailed directly be tween the goal posts. The qurr 4 :: ended with the Byrdmen lea ’1 ig 21-0. The fourth quarter was score less until the closing minutes when good team work again spoke and the score became, 27-0. Out standing during the period was the fact that the actual touchdown play was a pass from brother to brother. Ossie Osteen doing the tossing and brother Roland the re ceiving. It was a 30 yard pass which the receiver caught in the end zone. Lineups: ■ Black Mountain Mars Hill Brown L. E. J. Edwards Morris L. T. C. Edwards Padgett L. G. Buckner Brittain (C) C.

Member North Carolina Press Association 5 Cents Per Copy. o Teams Primed For Renewal Os Grid Rivalry 0 One of the oldest rivalries in Buncombe county will be renewed here tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 when Coach Eugene Byrd's fast stepping Darkhorses take on the ■Swannanoa Warriors on the local field. Black Mountain will be shooting for their sixth victory of the season. Although Swannanoa has yet to dent the victory side of the ledger, past performance shows that when these two teams come together records are left in the dressing room and matter but little in the final outcome. As an example. Darkhorse followers re member all too well the 1945 sea son when the team was sailing along at top speed and seemed headed for a sure championship, only to have the boys from Swan nanoa come along and cut them down, 7-6, thus spoiling the sea son’s record and knocking the hopes of a championhip right out the window. Judging from records alone, Black Mountain should win but Warrior supporters are quick to point out that they have played some of the toughest competition in this section. And while they haven’t won a lot of ball games, they have played some close ones which could just have easily been decided in their favor. Both teams will shoot the works and fans are sure to see plenty of good hard football before the timer’s gun ends the battle out at the high school field tomorrow. A capacity crowd is Expected to be on hand.

The Key City gridders arc un beaten in five games this sfeasoru. They disposed of Warren> WilSon* college in their initial : encounter, and proceeded down the viet irryj lane by taking games f*@nv Weaverville, Hot Springs, atid Mars Hill. The Warriors have lost to Canton, Hendersonville, Sand Hill, and Brevard, but past per formances go for naught when Black Mountain and Swannanoa collide. The Swannanoa and Black ’ Mountain teams have always dis ’ played fine sportsmanship in i their games of the past. YOU Be A Good Sport, and I’ll see you at. this same spot next week.
