BULLDOGS WIN 42 TO 0 - Opportunity Knocks, But Panthers Don't Answer By TODD REECE "Opportunity knocks but once," the man said, and when Frank lin's Panthers failed to cash in on a scoring oppo:tunity Friday night at Murphy, the Bulldbgs marched on to clinch the Smoky Mountain Conference champion ship arid AA title with a decisive 42 to 0 victory. Murphy scored first on a freak ish fumble play early in the first period. The Panthers chance to tie the game came with the block ing of a Bulldog punt. Franklin moved to the one foot line with first and goal. Clarence 'Red" Seay hit the line for no gain and quarterback Jim Williams cl.o'o to try twe pass plays which fail ed. Seay tiled again, bufc Mur phy's rock-; ibbed defense held, and the Panthers never recovered. Attack Folds The tent fell in on Franklin's "aerial circus" as the Panthefs vaunted pasting attack folded up like Aunt Bessy's accordlan. Murphy scored again In the se cond quaiter, taking the ball on the one after holding Franklin for fbur downs, and punching out a S9-yara mareti with their ball control method of powering out three yards at a time. Tlie drive used 17 plays and five fltst downs. Franklin did complete 10 of 25 attempted parses for 124 yards. but none of them came at crucial + + + j TO IIAYCSVILLE Franklin High's footballing Panthers head across th1.' mountain to take on Hayesvfllc tomorrow (Friday) night at 8 o'clock.

Eirhth Victory Murphy's victory was the eighth straight of the season and mark ed the third straight year the Bulldogs have won the conference championship. It was Franklin's second lots in a r;w after five, straight virtori:s. Though behind throughout the game.' the Panthers fought game ly to the end But, after losing, the scoring opportunity early In ! the wme, the Franklin lads never j warned able to regain the spark J necessary. score. Rurner-up Honors With two conference games left in the ? awn for Franklin, against a so-far winless Hayesville team and penalty-bound Andrews,- the Panth?;s seem assured on runner up honors in the conference, but) the second spot in the AA stand ings is still undetermined. Frank lin also has a final game resche duled with Clarkesville. Ga.. for November 11. but the Peach State boys are undefeated thus far and may be involved In state playoffs, cancelling their game with the Panthers. Injunction Death Blow At Railway? The final death blow might well have been .struck this week at the, old Tallulah Falls Railway by Southern Railway through the U. S. District Court. In Gainesvile, Ga.. Judge Boyd Sloan approved an Injunction against the 'Tallulah Falls receiv er. H. L. Brewer, ordering him to stop using Southern Railway funds to operate the 57-mile freight line from Cornelia, Ga., to Franklin. The Injunction filed with the district court by Southern Rail way claims the receiver is operat ing the line with $180,000 that Tallulah Falls owe6 Southern for freight cari-ied Jointly by the two lines. Judge Sloan said the court could not authorize the use of funds belonging to Southern to keep the Tallulah Falls in opera tion. E. D. Kenyon, attorney for the Tallulah Falls, said the in junction might result in the clos ing of the old railroad, which is owned by Southern and has been in receivership since the 30's. Southern contends the Tallulah Falls has been losing money steadily for years and the injunc tion is apparently another step to end operation of the line. Last year, Southern was unsuccessful in its move to get the district court to enforce an abandonment paper issued in the early 30's. The Interstate Commission then ruled in favor of abandonment of all or part of the line, but its ruling was appealed by commercial firms ser ved by the line. Bundy Is Reelected Chairman Stephen A.
