This was considered by local laus ns? rather unusual for the high school youngsters as the Cullowhee outfit llnd a decidedly great advan tage both in weight and experience. The single, touchdown of the game was made by a pass from Morgan to Henry. Morgan made the princi pal gains through, the line, while Henry, Queen and Keagan made sev eral gains around the end. In one instance IJeagan intercepted, a pass and van (v> yards for a touchdown but was called back because of a foul p??y made by Queen while running interference. Cuttowhee did not threat, en to score during the whole game, the ball remaining most of the time in Sylva 's territory. Sylva will meet the Franklin squad on the local gridiron today at ff the games played by the two teauw prior to this can be considered as any evidence, Friday's contest wiil be the best match of the <-eason, i> ia suggested.
