Bulldogs Crush Sylva's Hornets 26 To 0 Friday Coaches Yow and Raper's touch down-happy Bulldogs invaded Sylva last Friday and drubbed the host gridders under the lights 26 to 0 at the Sylva high school ath letic field. The Bulldogs scored in all periods and held a constant command of the game from the opening kick off to the final gun. The Murphy gridsmen lost the toss and kicked to the Hornets who took the ball on their own 20 and returned it to the 25 yard line. The first play, a sleeper pass, caught the Bulldogs napping and rolled the Hornets into Murphy territory and rested the pigskin on the forty yard marker. At that point, after one pass attempt and two smashes, the Tiost team kick ed to the Murphy 20 where it was downed. Three power plunges by David- j son and an off tackle ramble by . Hughes rolled the ball to the Bull dog 45, where Brendle. on an end run. accounted for the Black and Gold's first touchdown. The at tempt for extra point was no good ! The Bulldogs' kickoff was short j and the Hornets carried back to their own 40 yard line. Two off tackle drives clicked off a first down as the quarter ended. A basketball pass over center was ^ood for five yards and a stall on the Murphy 45 proved to be the last threat the Hornets could must er for the rest of the game. The Hornets punt was grounded on the Murphy 20. A series of line power plays by Hughes and Davidson and an end run by Brendle drove the ball to the hosts' 20 yard line. Alexander ambled over for the second counter and Brendle's place ment was good for a 13 to 0 lead. Murphy kicked to the Sylva 10 and i he kick off was returned to the 15. where the runner was swarmed ..nd smothered by hustling Bull dogs. Again, the Hornet offensive failed to function and they were forced to punt The kick was tak n by Brendle at midfield and re turned to the Sylva 30. Davidson find Hughes carried to the 15 where their touchdown march was halted by halitime. Begining the second half. Mur j phy received and Hughes took the kick off on the 19 and returned kick to the 30 yard line. Another i drive carried the Bulldogs to the Sylva 40. where the Hornets line held and a Bulldogs' attempt to nuke four on the fourth down callapsed. Sylva's first down hopes fell after two line plays and a pass attempt netted no gain. Anderson, who had replaced Brendle. took the Sylva kick and on a nice runbaok, romped to the Sylva 30 yard marker. Two line plays rolled the ball to the tor where Davidson crashed over fo the third Bulldog touchdown Lumber For Sale Oak - Pine Flooring Finished Lumber Roofers Drop Siding Mouldings Subflooring' MURPHY LUMBER & MFG.

The Murphy kick off was re lumed from the 30 to the 40 as the third period ended. Play re sumed as Sylva slanted another basketball pass over center and rolled to midfield. A fumble, whicfr was recovered by Burch. gave the Bulldogs possession of the ball and halted the Sylva at tack. Two off-tackle plays and a pass netted G yards and another fourth down and four attempts fell short of its mark. Sylva grid ders took to the air but the three trys were not completed. The punt, taken by Brendle on the Murphy 30. was returned to mid field. Davidson and Brendle, sparking another march, rambled to the Sylva 20. A Hornet penalty for fighting placed the ball on the 5. Hughes crashed through for the final tally and set the count at 26 to 0. The point was not good. Murphy, again kicked off. Hampton's boot was low and tipped i Hornet guard. Hampton recover ed and the Bulldogs took over on the Sylva forty yard line. It was but a few plays until Davidson broke into the open but stumbled over his own interference on the 12 as the final gun sounded. Davidson and Hughes sparked the Bulldog assault in the back field. while Burch's defensive work was outstanding in the line. The greatest weaknesses are defi nitely at the tackle positions since the injury of Dalrymple, who is ex pected to be back in the starting line-up within two weeks. Charg ing. tackling and blocking are also among the stressor points for the scrimmage sessions in preparing for the Hayesville encounter Fri day. It was reported, that the Hayes- j ville gridsmen had definitely im proved since defeating Sylva by two touchdowns, and speculating with past performances, and con sidering the fact that the Bulldogs will be playirig on the Hayesville Athletic field, it is believed that both elevens will enter the game on an even basis. The contest should prove to be one of the closest grid battles of the Murphy schedule. It was also announced, the Bull dogs may make the trip in the bus as last week's transportation prob lems did not prove to be adequate for all members of the squad and staff. Game time for the Murphy Bull dogs-Hayesville encounter has been scheduled for 3 p m. Unaka The Rev. Mr. Lunsford and the Rev.
