BOOMERS AND ' WILDCATS TO MEET THIIRS. i Teams Appear On Equal Footiner for Turkev Day Classic , With both teams primed for victory. 1 the Murphy Boomers and the Andrews 1 Wildcats will meet for their annual Thanksgiving day classic on the Murphy field Thursday. \ The game is officially called for 2 < jr. m- Central Standard time. One of the largest crowds that has 1 ever witnessed a football game in ' Cherokee county is expected to turn out for the Turkey day battleBoth teams have played up and ' down football all during the season and a close contest is in sight. It is expected that the breaks of the game will largely determine the winner. In view of past performances this season the "Tuckennen" and the "Pit- j zt'rmen" seem on about an equal foot-?] ir.g.

No Boon - 1 rr player appears to have suffered j ' any injuries during the year that will ! keep him from playing his best game, j' The Wildcats started off the season I with a bang, either winning their first games or holding much stronger opponents to a surgrisingly low score. The Andrews team was beset with several slight misfortunes, however, and have taken part in several mediocre contests during the latter part of the season. The Thanksgiving day game, nevertheless, is expected to see both teams at the height of their offensive and defensive strength. Andrews appears to have an edge on experience, while ' both appear about even on weight. \ As far as comparative scores are ' concerned, nothing definite can be ; ascertained. The Wildcats held Canton to a two touchdown victory margin, and won from Franklin by a 25- ^ point margin. Murphy lost by a huge score to { Canton, and only defeated Franklin by one touchdown. t Then Murphy won from Cherokee t and held the Western North Carolina champions, Sylva, to a scoreless tieAndrews lost to Cherokee and Sylva. Murphy lost to Copperhill by one Touchdown in the Basin, and the following week Andrews won from them ^ by one touchdown at Andrews. Thus the seasons went; and whoever ^ wins Thursday will have some sort of : unique record to paste j^p in the administration hall along with the pic- . tures of their squads of other years.
