PHONES 49 and 419 Sport Shots ' BY CHARLES CARPENTER, EARLY FOOTBALL The story in last week's Herald about the first footbal team here, the 1922 high school squad, has cre ated much interest, at least with this department. We've been digging in the file co pied of 1922 Heralds and find much of interest ? just can't stay out of those files. Last week's story carried a reprint of the first story we could find in the files. Probably the funniest thing about the write-up was the "nick-names" ? including such beauts as "Betcha" Boone and "Liquid" McDaniel. Writing style was amusing and enlightening to us. Evidently, formation of the squad was not accorded too- much appro val here. Bill Baker, who says that "those weer my boys" and recalls that, though green and Inexperienced, the Kings Mountain boys played rugged football* * Bill said that Sam Suber was one of the biggest backers of 'the team ? he'd have a pot of coffee along 'he team up side lines and would v'arm the team up during rest periods with a cup of his famous brew; We're looking for more Informa tion about the team ? record of games played, wins, losses, and so forth. Our correspondent back then didn't give full coverage abvUt the new-fangled st>ort ? baseball was king. And the Kings Mountain-Shel by baseball news was making the front page of the Herald, as well as the Charlotte dailies, the previous summer. We never did find mention of the 1922 outfit. as the "first" team here. D10& ? 1 Next mention of the team in our file copies was on Oct. 5, 1922, and the headline "Kings Mountain 'Foot ball Team Cleans Up Gastonia .In ,A Dog Fall" was clever but mislead ing. The game was a tie, probably scoreless. The following week mention was made that the team was sorry it had no game the previous Friday but announced that they would play ML Holly next day (the Herald wis pub lished Thursdays then). Captain "Lefty" Matthews, the quarterback, had an injured knee and Lovell a broken nose. ?Front page story that week con cerned formation of a Mountain Lake Fishing Club, a movement that resulted in building of Lake Mon tonia. The probable starting lineup for the Mt. Holly game was givej: as follows: Housor, re. Woodward, rt Hayes, rg Fulton, c - Hord, lg. . ? McGinn is, It OJ. M.) C.

Mountain beat Bessemer City 31 to ,15. ? _ Also In the Feb. 15th paper it was reported thta the late Ira H. Patter - j son had been elected president of the Cleveland county chapter, North j Carolina Game and Fish Develop ment League. Paul M. Neisler was named vice-president. Much "hotel building" talg was in the Sept. 20th edition and on Oct. 6 it was anounced that Camp Bragg soldiers would box a local team dur ing the Battle of Kings Mountain celebration Oct. 6. The local team: 6. A. Smith, Jr., M. A. Ware, Archie Saunders, and P. M. Neisler. Next mention of football was on Oct. 11, 1923, and the headline read: ! "Celebration Game Saturday Hat- i I ched Goose Eggs Only." Gaatonia , j was the opponent, well as we re- I membered from the hasty reading. j On Dec. 6, 1923, Supt. J. Y. Irvin wrote a story about the football team. Team captain was Woodward and other stars included Wright, Morris and Jake Hord. John Floyd was coach. ? op ? ?
