It was the season's open ing game for both teams and proved to be one of the most thrilling tilts ever witnessed cn a Sylva field. For fully three quarters Sylva drove from their T-formation deep into Hayesville territory but al spring. The second and third men on the Marion pitching staff also turned out to be former Legion aires and Catamounts. They were suuthpuw Odell Griffin with an 11-10 won, lost record and ri^M .;nnder Warren Deyermond with wins and twb losses. ways mired down before they reached the payline. Once in the third quarter, Syl va's Ernest Bumgarner broke thru ire line on a 20-yard run that .rought the crowd to its feet but e driving Hurricane back was verhculed and brought down from ;enind on H. yesville's 45. | The game was filled with punts with Hayesville's Bobby Cunning >.m nc.aing a big edge on Sylva's oo-ers .n getting off five long distance kicks. It was Cunningham vho d d the damage for Hayesville ?he nit the line, passed, ran,; icked, and played a whale of a .ail game. v'.Yh tnree minutes to go, Hayes i e tcok a Sylva punt on their own 20 and began their march for the touchdown. Cunningham hit Sylva's nne, found it unyielding ..t swe.n around end for ten yards ai.a Hayesville's third first down o. :he :ne. Twice more he hit he line, and deciding that he ou:dn't ^o through it, he took to the air. Three desperate passes brought the ball up 41 yards to Sylva's 29. then Sylva threw in a Lve-man line and stopped the passing cold. On three runs Cunningham car Hurricanes By 6-0 ried the ball to Sylva's 15 and an ot'isides penalty against the Hur ricanes rested the pigskin on the 10. Cunningham tossed an aerial n:o the arms of White in the flat, ^nd the speedy little end was stepped on. the two-yard-line. On the next play, Cunningham picked up a three-man interfer ence and raced across the goal line for the winning tally. An attempt- j ed pass for extra point was no good. j Time ran out before Sylva could' threaten after the kickoff. Sylva's T-formation smoothly sparked several drives as the Hru-1 ricanes played the greater part of, 'he game in Hayesville territory.! Sylva rolled up 102 yards rush-: ing to Hayesville's 47.
