SHELBY GRIDDERS END SEASON WITH SPECTACULAR PLAY Gold and Bridges Pulled A Game From The Fire In Closing Minutes (The following article appeared in Monday's issue of The Cleveland Star, and graphically describes Fri day afternoon's football scrimmage between Shelby and the Forest City High teams.) Capt. Milky Gold, Shelby high fullback, and Guy Bridges, veteran half, Friday afternoon inscribed their names in the role of gridiron immortals as far as Shelby is con cerned by pulling the most spectac ular play ever seen here -to defeat ► - A Year of Progress By HENRY FORD "The new Ford car embodies the best results of our experience in making 15,000,000 automobiles. We consider it our most important contribution to the pro gress and prosperity of the country, and to the daily welfare of millions of people." It has been just a year since the new Ford was introduced. At this first anniversary, it is interesting to review the record of the months just passed and see what has been accomplished. Since December 2, 1927, nearly 750,000 new Ford cars have been built. Production has been gradually increased from a few hundred a day to 6000 a day. We expect to make 2,000,000 au tomobiles in 1929. These are impressive figures. But they are only that. Figures of themselves are unimportant. ► The big thing is that the new Ford has delivered a service ► beyond all expectations. The promise of a year ago is now an I accomplished fact. ► r V New Ford is the Expression of an Ideal lOur policy has always been to regard ourselves as charged with making the best automobile it is possible to make at a low price. That is our mission. We have done it for more than twen ty years. The public expects us to keep on doing it. That obligation includes good design as well as good ma- terials. We hold it our duty to permit nothing to stand in the r way of progress, yet we do not make changes simply for the sake ► of making them. First, it must be demonstrated that what seems ► like an improvement in theory is an improvement in practice. t The new Ford has made a high place for itself because it is built ► on sound principles. There is nothing of an experiment about it. ► The whole effort has been toward simplicity—to give you outstanding service with as little machinery as possible. That is where experience counts. Built into the new Ford is every thing we have learned in making of fifteen million automobiles. The Motor Has Made a Remarkable Record Take the motor. It has made a remarkable record because it combines every essential feature of good performance—power, acceleration, smoothness, speed, reliability, economy and long life. Not just acceleration. Not just smoothness. Not just speed. But the most of all of these features that can be built into a low-priced car without cutting corners or sacrificing quality any where along the line. We were building more than a motor when we did this. We , were fulfilling the public's trust in us to make the best selection for their use. Had any other type been better, we would have chosen that. Vajjte of Simplicity Shown in Performance Daily, in the performance of the new Ford, you can see the value of its sound simplicity of design, its balance, the care with which it is made, and the quality that has been put into it. It will do 55 to 65 miles an hour, which is fast enough for anyone. You know how quickly it accelerates. You have seen how it climbs the hills on high. If you drive a new Ford you know its economy of operation and low cost of up-keep. From every part of the world come reports of its reliability and endurance. Many of the new Fords have been driven 50,000 miles in the past year. Some more than 100,000 miles. There is no telling how far they will go. The average life of the Model T was seven years. We believe this new car will do even better. The engine is the heart of the motor car, of course. Yet there are other features almost as important. We refer partic ularly to the safety of the fully enclosed six-brake system of the new Ford. To its really remarkable smoothness and stability at all speeds and its easy-riding comfort. To the beauty of its lines and colors. To the ease of control. To the triplex shatter-proof glass windshield. To the electric welding that makes it such a 1 strong and sturdy car. In a word, the quality of the new Ford goes clear through. Nothing has been done for show. No one part has been given un due prominence at the expense of anotheif. Constantly Making A Better Automobile The new Ford was a gcfod car when it was first introduced. We made sure of that before we asked you to/buy it. It is a bet ter car today. ' Constantly we are finding new and better ways of doing J things. As soon as we are sure of them we put them into the car. ► There is no such thing as a yearly model. Why should there be? ► As we make improvements, they are so planned that owners I of previously built cars may take immediate advantage of them. k Everything that has been done has been done with one pur f pose bring the benefits of lijpdern, economical transportation k to all the people. | Our mission is to make the best automobile that can be made ► to sell at a low price. In ever-increasing measure, the new Ford i is the expression of that ideal.—Henry Ford. [ Doggett Motor Company ► Forest City, N. C. I r ..,. « . .-r . r , r> ; • . ' Forest City 7 to 6 in the last three minutes of the game. The game—a game in which it should be said in fairness that the best eleven lost —-incidentally wHI go down in the records as the most thrilling of all Shelby's • gruelling football tilts. Which is to say that in the years to come the j Bridges and Gold pass in the For- j est City game will be talked along with the detour Asheville made via Shelby to Chapel Hill and never arrived, and the Charlotte game which Fred Beam, Caldwell and Fur- , ches pulled out of the fire. , Merriwell | The winning play of the game ex- ; I celled any fiction ever produced by . j Frank Merriwell in his dramatic t | victories. j Outplayed and rushed to death all afternoon long, the final quar- j ter, and the final minutes of the final quarter, found Shelby with the short end of a 6-0 score. With; three minutes to go it was Shelby's ] i THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1928 ball on her own 20-yard line, third down £nd about 15 to go. Shelby fans were already filing out the gates as the big Shelby fullback dropped back to make his antici pated punt. But standing on his own 10-yard line he did not kick. For a second or two he eluded tacklers ( and then heaved thp pigskin far down the field. Weaving in and out of the Forest City backfield was ' Bridges, the halfback, and just as he passed the Forest City safety man on the 50-yard line he looked back and the ball settled in his arms. From that point on the crip pled Bridges stepped off 50 yards for a touchdown. The score was tied. Bridges dropped back to kick for the extra point. He even went so far as to brush off a place on !the ground where he intended to 'start his kick. The ball came back from center, the Forest City eleven : rushed Bridges to break up the at tempt for point only to have Bridges toss the ball over their heads to the waiting arms of Gold across the ; line. That was the game 7-6. I Of course, Lady Luck played an important part in the completion of the 40-yard pass and the 50-yard run, but the dramatics were there and the crowd was in an uproar. Nothing else could have saved the game. Only superhuman shot in desperation could have turned the trick; Bridges and Gold turned it i to the delight of hundreds of shriek- j ing Shelby fans. Forest City Good It was the only time during the day, however, that Shelby looked like a winning team. Those who go by the final results may say that the best team won. It didn't. A desper ate play carried to completion, one of those things seen only a few times in a lifetime, turned a victorious team back in defeat and made winner of an outfit which was outplayed from whistle to whistle. It was a typical Forest City-Shel by game—rough, hard-fought, and interesting at all stages. The Ruth erford outfit started off with a heavy drive at the beginning of the game and kept driving. Without doubt it was the best charging and most powerful backfield to oppose Shelby this year. ! There was no Funderburk in it such as Charlotte has but there were four backs any of whom could smash a line as can no Charlotte back. Play after play the ripping Forest City backs tore through the Shelby line. * Casey Morris' forward wall was weakened by the absence of Ralph Gardner, plucky center out with an injured shoulder, and Zeno Wall, the brilliant little quar ter, was in bed with the 'flu.' The bulwark of the Shelby defense was. missing and the pilot of the offense was also absent. Which isn't in the nature of an alibi as it is likely that Forest City would have ripped on j through with all the regulars in, ] but with Wall out the Shelby of fense was some two or three touch downs shy; the fleet backfield with the little field general gone just couldn't get going and flashed only one bit of form that the Gold- Bridges pass for a touchdown and j victory. Several of the Shelby boys were singing their swan song both in the line and the backfield, but up in the I line it fell to the lot of Gene Black, not a full fledged regular, to be the youngster who could stop the hard hitting Forest City backs when the remainder of the line couldn't.

Ap proximately two hundred and fifty cases were reported in Spindale Monday, and school officials of sev eral county centers are seriously con sidering closing the schools. Ellen boro and surrounding community has a number of cases while Forest City and Rutherfordton also reports a large number who are confined with the 'flu.' j The number of cases of 'flu' re ported over the county recalls to mind the uneasy days of 1918 and 1919 when the nose guard was part of apparel of every well dressed person appearing in public. As we recall it, the days of hiph cost of living began about the time patched pants went out of style. The election has come and 'went.' Football season is nearing the close, and Hoover will soon return from his trip to the south. Pity the poor newspaper men; what will they write about now? Since agricultural extension work began in North Carolina the value of all crops, livestock and livestock products produced by farmers has doubled in face of a steady decrease in farm population. Remember towns loyal to their local merchants always have the best stores.
