can for Copperhiil.
' ach Lingerfelt has been putting
the local boys through some inten- '
?ive training this week in an effort I
to whip them into shape for the game '
I iia> night.
The t< native line-up follows:
Hen Palmer, center; Frank Fergu

Word has gone abroad that Cop

this section, and the boys are e\
ng to have a rather rough road
to travel when they go up against it j
K- -lav night. However, it is a cinch i

? sledding. The local boys are I
ex, ting to make a good showing, j
ami a large delegation of Murphy I
fan- are planning to follow them t
t h? Tennessee city.
To Play Hayesville 3rd
I he next game for the local boj- :
; ? heduled with Hayesville a: ?
Hayesville on October 3rd. The j
* Haye.-ville team last year swept ev
erything that got in its way. winning |
a perfect victory score for the entire I
season. Hayesville has also had one j
ganu* ;his season, with Bryson City
and came out with the best end of the
score.
An interesting feature of the match
with Hayesville will be centered in
and around Coach Lingerfelt and his
leading a new team up against his old
eleven. Mr. Lingerfelt coached the
Hayesville team last year and the
year before, and developed it into a
machine for team work second to
none in this section. It downed all
comers and registered a perfect score.
And the way Hayesville handled
Bryson City one day last week, that
machine Lingerfelt built up is still
registering strongly. Hayesville
beat Bryson City 38 to 0,
Yet Mr. Lingerfelt has some good
material on the Murphy team and he
believes in it. However, he says its
going to take some hard work, but he
hopes to develop it into a strong ag
gregation. And those who have
seen the boys working out this week
agree with him.
Basketball Games at Fair
A number of basketball games
have been scheduled for the Chero
kee County Fair between teams of
this section.
The Ogden boys and girls are to
play the Murphy boys and girls in a
double-header, while games are ex
pected to be scheduled also between
the local boys and girls and Hayes
ville and Andrews.
The games will take place on the
fair grounds and definite announce
ment as to the time will be made
later.

were made by acclamation.
