Franklin Takes Sylva in
Football Tussel 26-0
Sparked t>y halfback Larry Cabe
who scored two touchdowns in the
initial period, the Franklin * high
Panthers routed the Sylva Hurri
canes 26-0 last Friday night on
Mark Watson Field. The TD's
were Cabe's 9th and 10th of the
year.
In the opening minutes of the
first period Cade romped 20 yards
for his first marker and a few
minutes later went 30 yards for
the other. In the second quarter
Mason, halfback, cut off tackle
from the 30 and scored Franklin's
third tally..
The third quarter -found Sylva
on the comeback trail as they bat
tled it out even with the Panthers.
But the last period saw Franklin
again scoring on a pass from Flan
nagan to Ed Angel in the end zone.
Joe Pressley's kicking proved a
considerable help to the Sylva
boys and smothered several Frank
lin drives.
SHOOT THE MOON
By BOBBY TERRELL
This Saturday the Catamounts
of Western Carolina will face an
other tough North State Confer
ence for the Appalachian State
Teachers at Boone. The Cats will
go into the game with a two weeks
rest under their belts and should
prove stiff competition for the
rough and rugged Mountaineers.
Appalachian is favored by sev
eral points but what does favor
mean in this season of upsets? The
Mountaineers may have a slight
edge in the backfield but it takes
quite a team to break that Cata
mount line.
We're looking forward to a good
game?a different game than the
42-6 affair that all but disgraced
the Cats on their home-coming
last year.
As for prediction we would
sentimentally take the Cats over
the Mountaineers but logically
we'll take Appalachian over West
ern Carolina and say no more.
Also we like:

option of the applicants, Capt.

Western North Carolina, out of
which 341 are currently qualified
for this duty.
Men selected for these duties

2O0-T0N FLYING
BOAT TAKEN INTO
AIR BY BUILDER
Howard Hughes, millionaire plane
builder, took his huge 200-ton,
$23,5000,000 plywood flying-boat
into the air Saturday at Long
Beach, Calif.
Hughes had taken the huge boat
out on a taxi run Saturday to de
termine if its leaked with no inten
tion of trying to take it into the
air. But, when on the taxi run, be
fore 1,000 or more on-lookers the
builder of the big plane suddenly
took it into the air and flew at 70
feet for over a mile, making a per
fect landing on the water.
In shirt sleeves during the
flight, Hughes was jubilant over
the success. Many people had said
of his 700 passenger "Hercules":
4,a monstrosity which never will
fly."
It was the first time a 32 pro
I peller blades had beat the air at.
the same time.
As Hughes ran the big ship down
the first 10-mile course he got the
speed up only to 45 miles per hour
and the mighty boat took a ter
rific beating from choppy white
caps, blown by a 16-knot wind. On
the second run he picked up speed
to 60 miles then 90 and at 100
miles he decided that it felt so
good he just lifted it into the air
for the mile flight at 70 feet up,
then glently set her down on the
water.
Hughes made the flight just
three days before he was due in
Washington to go before a con
gressional committee in hearings
on his huge war contracts.

Cumberland county farmers of
Fayetteville, Route 5, recently
