Grading System
Discussed At
Murphy PTA
A panel discussion regarding
tin methods of grading primary
students was held at the first
meeting of the Murphy PTA Mon
day evening.
Mrs. Frank Forsyth directed the
discussion. It was agreed among
teachers and parent* on the panel
that the traditional method of A,
B and C grading gave the students
more incentive and the parents
a better knowledge of how their
children ware progressing. For the .
past several years the method of ,
S for satisfactory" and U for
(unsatisfactory) has been used in
the Murphy Primary schools.
Also the classification of children
according to their ability level and 1
having a teacher for each group 1
is being tried and so far is proving ?
to be very satisfactory. It gives 1
the keener child more competetton ?
and makes him work harder and <
the slower, one mere emcouiage- i

Bull Dogs Lose To
Maroon Devils 21-12
By Robert Potter
Murphy's Bulldogs had what it
takes in its feature game of the
season, Friday night at Brysoa
City; but Swain bad that, and
more? and thus sent Murphy's
brave team home on the unhappy
end of a 21-12 count.
The Maroon Devils of Bryson
fielded a well-knit team: smart,
facile, in handling and running the
ball, weO-drilled In fundamentals,
moving with power and dispatch.
In some departments the Bulldogs
were a match for them; but Mur
phy was outweighed in the line
about 18 pounds per man.
The Bulldogs surged into the
game like hounds unleased for
their first seasonal hunt, and haa
the heavier Maroon Devils rocking
on their heels soon after the kick
off Swain received. Bryson fumb
led and recovered but West and
Amos broke through to give Swain
men a decided loss and forcing a
punt.
Taking the ball at mid-field, Mur
phy picked up a few yards on one
play; and then O'dell electrified
the Cherokee fans with a fine off
tackle thrust that took him to the
Swain 4-yard line. There .Bryson
City buckled, giving a foretaste of;
things to come; but Jones finally
smacked over for first blood. The
extra point was missed.
A fourth down pass by Swain
later in the quarter when the Bull
dogs and on-lookers were expect
ing punt? from L. D. Hyde to
"Spud" Hyde help set up the first
Swain touchdown. The pass car
ried -22 yards to Murphy's 24 as
the quarter ended. Bryson City
gains and a 15 yard penalty a
gainst the Bulldogs carried to Mur
phy's 3 from which point "Spud"
Hyde ran over. Randall, whose
punting and extra-point kicking,
was ably done through the entire
game, booted the point that sent
the home team ahead. \
But not for long. On Randall's
kick to Murphy's five, Bobby Mor
ris thrust back to the 38; and Mur
phy went on to advance the ball
almost to midfield. Then on a
pitchout "Red" Jones, accorded
good protection, eluded Swain
tacklers and raced 53 yards for a
touchdown. Again extra point was
missed.
On the next kick Bryson aided
by passes, drove down field, Hall
carrying from the 31 yard line of
Murphy to the 18. But on the next
play Norris West pounced on
Hall's fumble on the IT. Hie Bull
tegs were hnable to gain, and a
short pant pat the Mama Devils
dangerously date again, but half
time Ait short scoring chances.
' Early fat the secood half Swain
surged ahead to ?tay. After Jim
Hendrix had ran back the kick-off
to hit 35, Murphy was farced to
punt. Ike Maroon Devils, taking
the ball on their 31, in a series of
well-executed plays, went all the
way, to Murphy's yard line. In two

<K Ike Maroon Devils gained to

a 15 yard penalty. "Stub" Hyde]
ran elusively for 20 yards, how-:
ever; and from this point Swain
moved on down to score again,
Hall bangiag over.
Unable to gain noticeably
through the big Swain line, and cut
down on attempted end runs by
Bryson tacklers crashing through
more than once, Murphy resorted
to passing; and, with an end run
by Jones, - worked the ball to
Swain'* 40, but there the Maroon
Devils held. After making gains,
Brysbn was forced to punt, Ran
dall sending the ball out of bounds
on Murphy's 10. Jones made a
first down on his 20, and Birchfield
carried to the 25, but time ran
out.
Late in the game the No. "77s"
of each team left the play a little
while apart amid the well - deserv
ed plaudits of the crowd. Bryson's
"77" was Hall, the smashing full
back; and Murphy's, Don Amos,
who played a bang-up game on de
fense that reduced greatly Swain
yardage.
The Bulldogs were hard at prac
tice early this week under Coaches
McConnell and Olson, unhurt by
the bruising Swain encounter, and
in good spirits for the Hayesville
game on the Murphy field at 8
o'clock Friday. The match should
not be a hard one for Murphy and
should provide opportunity for oth
er members of the squad to ?et in
the game. The Bulldogs merit our
cheers not only for the four games
they so handily won but also ?
and even more? for the match
with Swain which they so bravely
lost. They had what it takes; no
discredit to them that Bryson City
had more.
