MONROE WINS, 46,
IIUNTERSyiLLE, 0.
First Game in Elimination Series
Easily Taken on Charlotte
Field
By Bailey Groom
Monroe knocked Huntersville's
chances into a cocked hat Wednesday
at Wearn field, winning 40 to 0 in a
ragged exhibition of football on the
part of Huntersville team and good
football on the part, of the Monroe
lads, who played rings aTound the up
per Mecklenburg moleskinners. But
for bad fumbles at the start of the
game Monroe should have had at least
3 additional touchdowsn. Three times
in the first period the Union county
invaders banged at the final white
i line, uniy w iuiuuic r.
ball k'cked to midfield" again.
It was a sore disappointment to n
large number of rooters,-about half
oracticallv all of whom occupied fine
places, to witness the game on thjj
playing field." It was a poorly man-
-aired engagement, the field not being
marked off anew for the struggle and
no, police protection vto keep the
crowds off the playing field and out
of the end zones, Referee Vansant
was compelled to halt the game sev
eral times and ask the spectators to
permit enough room for opposition
backs to Dunt or run plays.

The work of, Laney at right-half-back
was of the spectacular and caus-
: aA mnch rnmtnpnt frmri the sidelines.
This fleet back field man played fast
and head?' -'ball, and in addition to
his two touchdowns booted two drop
kicks for the extra points. He made
good in both attempts he tried, Wiggs

field handicapped by sickness. He
really should have not been in the
game at all; but. Monroe -was Tight
much afraid of Huntersville at the
Start of activities so Coach. Beemerj
Harrell hrew his whole experienced
strength into the fray. The whole
Monroe backfield functioned in mag
nificient style and put out a combina
tion of line plays, end runs and off
, tackle' bnishe' that" o team in the,
atate etd have stopped.
They were on their toes t through
out and every pass thrown by Wat
son for Huntersville, was traveling in
dangerous territory, for Monroe, re
ceived about as many of them as did
the men for whom they were intend
ed. Once in the early periods of the
game Watson hurled. a pass toVick
ery for 50 yards and almost a touch
down, the Huntersville man being
downed on the five-yard lino; but
Huntersville was unable to; advance
the ball and lost it on downs. - "
The Monroe line hejd like a stone
wall throughout, and the only chance
the Mecklenburgers had was through
the air route. In this they failed, for
.MoniW outp'assed them and in addi
tion to that covered every pass sejt
out by Huntersville' so we"l that many
werg grounded and numbers were
intercepted and converted into sub
stantial gams.
At thetart of the game Monroe I
was pervous and passed up a chance
to score in the firs.t.two or three min
utes when a switch in tactics caused
the club to lose the ball on downs
within the teir-yard line. Plays
straight through the line had bruoght

Late in the second period, noweve-
er, Monroe managed to push the bail
over Huntersville in the last qiarter,
when injuries to , players had shot
the club to pieces, while' Monroe was
practically intact nd goin strong.
Monroe called no signals: but after
each play the team gathered back of
the ball some five yards and planned
the next attack. Three "hikes", from
the quarterback and the ball was put
into play. It did not give the op
position any inkling of where, the ball
was going and no opportunity to
"dope" out the signals.
On the sidelines as interested spec

. Mayor's Proclamation
to the people of Monroe:1 - 5
Because it has an important bear
ing on civic welfare in Monroe, as
well as on individual welfare in couns
less cases, 1 feel it my duty to call
attention to tha well-conceived plan
for a 'Father and Son Week.'
The purpose is admirable. Any
thing that, tends to bring father and
sen closed together in friendly spirft
canriot but be beneficial, to themsel
ves and to the community. -
I believe that fathers can do more
than any others -to stem the great
and alansin? tide of dropping out
of school, which carried many boys
out into the world unfit for progress
prosperity or public service.
Manvrbovs arrow to manhood vir
tually' ignorant of even the simplest
processes, of governmeent. These
every father can explain "to his son.
The son, in every case, should become
better than his father, for that marks
progress.
The 'Wjeek that is coming will sug
gest many ways in which fathers may
gain more completely the confidence
of their sons, with all that means of
effective .guidance and, unresented con
trol. I, therefore call upon the lathers
of this city and request their co
operation irt this important movement
by-vattending, with their sons, at least
one of the meetings to be held during
the 'Father and Son Week.' ; I hope
the men who have no sons will be.
friend the boys .who have no fathers,.

TO KEEP AUTOS TO, THE
RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD
Adopting a policy now in use in
many of the States in the east having
road .building programs" underway
the state highway commission calls
attention . to the new - system cen
terlining the reads which it is ua.ing.
Down the center of every highway
in the state, according to. comm:s
sion officials, a white or black line
will be painted. The white will be
used on the bituminous surface roads
and the black on the concrete roads
the object of this line is to divide the
road exactly in half with the hone
that traiiic proceeding in opposite di
rections will keep to the right of. the
line.' -'- .
- This method has proven useful in-
other states in keeping automobilistj.
to the n?nt side 01 the road, the psy
chological effect; according to the offi
cial, being great. The lines may be
easily teen at n'sht in the reflec
tion of the headlights and no doubt
will prove a great help to automo
bilista usir s; the roads during the dark
'hburs; k is said. v
Several roads of the state already
have been given the streak down the

ing !Arognomist for the State Colloge
8ndv Department of Agriculture.
Lasl spring through the efforts of
coutity Agent T. J W. Broom,, about
180Q bushels of Mexican"Big Boll seed
j-er introduced into Union county.
Jpr. Vinters recently queried the men
using this variety and found that to
a' nRn. they? were pleased with the

Expressions like' these are seen in
their answers." I will plant my en

Larger, bolls and produces more"
''Heavier fruiter and more compact
growth." "Bolls large and more to
stalk.? "Better than the kind I have
been growing" Nearly every reply
from some forty' growers and state
ments showing that they were fa
vorably impressed with the results
of using improved seed. ..
..As a further indication of 'this in
terest Dr. Williams reports that a
new ' association . for seed improve
ment? has just been organized in An4
son county through the efforts of
Agent J. W. Cameron. Most of the
members will use the ; Mexican va
riety of cotton w'th which to begin
work and such . farmers as U, B.
Bl.alock. J M: Sykes, E. C. Griggs ,and
L. D Robinson are pioneers in the
movement. Dr. Winters ' has other
associations in Edsrecombs, , Halifax
Sampson and Woodleaf Community
in Kowan county All of these are
well organized, ' are selecting their
seeds and are making sales of im
proved cotton varieties. Thfc Edge
combe Association is incorpoorated
under the State Law; has a regularly
employed plant breeder and 13 im
proving cotton, corn ahd.oats at this
time. The association
in Halifax
county is doing some work with pea
nuts. -
According to, Dr. Winters, the
workers in his office ar assisting
about 18 other communities in test
ing the best' varieties for their locali
ties and in selecting good seed each
year that these varieties may be con
stantly improved ,
