Friday November 11. at 7:30 at the local field. All proceeds, after ex penses are paid, are to go to the Field Lighting Fund. The regularly scheduled game with Bryson City was played at j Bryson City and might be called the upset of the Smoky Mountain Conference since the Bryson City team sports an otherwise clean j record, having won all t-heir con ference games with comparative ease excepting the Sylva affray which was a nip and tuck battle. Andrews, while not possessing an enviable record in games won and lost, does have to its credi* an undeniably strong defensive team, having limited opponents scoring to one touchdown victory margins. excepting the Sylva game which saw Sylva a 13 point victor. All in all this promises to be an interesting game in which anything can happen. Bryson City, full of confidence at their conference championship triumph over Sylva will be at full strength and eager to ease the sting of their lone tie. \ndrews. on the other hand, seem ed to get their offense rolling to win a 15-0 decision over Robbins ville and will be fighting to score. The lighting of the Andrews field was done on a "faith" basis and the public has responded whole heartedly. The sports public of Andrews are expressing their ap preciation to the Bryson City team tor cooperating in this benefit wainc. % IN* TRAINING SCHOOL? Pfe.
