The Murphy football team proved itself to be one of the strongest nigh school teams an this section Friday afternoon when the regular team ran rampant over the Swanna. r noa eleven during the first half of ? the game and the reserves gained 5 consistently all the while holding the i visitors to no score and a mere two r first downs with the final score being . 26 to 0. c Murphy ran up eight first downs l [in the first portion of the game and r the second team, displaying marvelous possibilities for a "green" eleven, added three more in their half of the game. < Both teams gained at will through, i around and over the visitors and dis played a deceptive and powerful i game that Coach O. W. Deaton was i dubious about being able to whip in- i to them when the season began. < Murplhy is distinctly the most i outstanding team in these parts as j was shown by their play Friday. The i Boomers scored three touchdowns in 1 the first half of the game and one more in the last half. Soon after the game Charles Henderson raced 35 yards around the Swannanoa end and placed the ball on the 'seven yard line where Troy Millsaps bucked it over on the first ; play. Allen Wise cracked the middle of the line for the point after touchdown. 1 ' 1 tale I 1 I .50 YEAR?5c COPY utting lerokee Approval ALL ELIGIBLE RELIEF FOLK TO BE HIRED C. I.

There are 850 people in Cherokee county that are eligible for relief work and Mr. Calhoun said that the county-wide projects would apparently be approved soon and that wcrk would be given to all the eligible partie?. While the nine sanctioned up until Wednesday primarily called for town street and school improvements, the applications awaited here will cover work on Cherokee county roads. Approved but not yet received by Mr Calhoun was a sewing room project that would give employment to 88 women. Although not officially stated, Mr. Calhoun said these sewing rooms would be located at Grand\iew. Culberson, Andrews, Poachtree, Murphy and the Liberty section. All building.- u-vd for sewing room projects must be fire-proof and answer other minor specifications and the community school houses will probably be used.

The third touchdown came near the last of the second quarter when Troy MiHsaps carried a pass from the 40-yard line over the stripe. In the second half Coach Deaton sent in his reserves. The soconastringers held the Swannanoa team, which came here as a strong team favored to win, to very few and very small gains and in the fourth quarter Lawrence Johnson ripped off tackle for another touchdown. Murphy has shown the JBne*t strength and superiority of the game of football that has ever been witnessed in this section. From a bunch nf scrbus that knew absolutely nothing of the basic principles of the ?ame, the boys have been whipped into a fine powerful organization that will rate above the bert in Western North Carolina. \ Lifckett and Hayes Leathcrwoo?d played fine games at end while Henderson and Troy MiUsaps showed exceptionally brilliant work ir. the backfield. Allen Wise played a jam up game as a defensive tackle. Friday the boys go to Hayo*?ville for a return game with the tearu they beat 6 to 0 at the beginning of the season.
