Hayesville Edges
: BOBBY CUNNINGHAM SCORES WINNING
|TALLY IN LAST THIRTY SECONDS
2,000 Fans Witness
Game; Sylva Boys
Greatly Improved
BY BOBBY TERRELL
(Herald Sport* Editor)
With 30 seconds to go ard the
ball on Sylva's two-yard-line
Bobby Cunningham raced around
end to pay dirt behind some beau
tiful interference to give his
Hayesville high school team a 6-0
victory over Sylva high's Golden
Hurricanes before a jam-packed
Crowd of approximately 2,000 fans
un Mark W:fcson Field Friday
night. 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

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.

Our Policy
Deliveries
Despite the fact that Pontiac has built over a half
million cars since the resumption of production after
the war, demand still exceeds supply. In the face of this
production record, those who place orders now
will still experience some delay in delivery. If you
are among the many people who feel that Pontiac
represents an outstanding value?and wish to order
a Pontiac for future delivery?you will be interested
in the following policy on retail distribution which
we, as Pontiac dealers, will observe:
WE WANT YOUR ORDER
And the sooner you place it, the sooner you will get
delivery. So if you want a Pontiac, order it now.
WE WILL ESTIMATE DELIVERY DATE
Due to conditions beyond our control, we cannot
give you an exact date of delivery. But based on
anticipated future shipments from the factory, we
will, when you place your order, give you an honest
estimate of when you may expect your car. Such
estimates will be reviewed any time on request.
ORDERS FILLED BY PRIORITY
A definite proportion of the cars we receive from
the factory is set aside for preferential delivery to
users whose work is in the public welfare and to
others with certain occupational requirements.
Otherwise, all orders will be filled on the basis of the
time when they are received.
YOU PAY FACTORY-SUGGESTED PRICE
Due to changing economic conditions, we cannot,
when' you place ybur order, tell you exactly how
much the car will cost when delivered in the future.
But, at the time of delivery you will be charged
only the factory suggested price on your model?
which will be shown in a published list of local
prices.
YOU SPECIFY ACCESSORIES ~
While most of our customers order their cars
equipped with accessories, we do not force acces
sories as a condition of sale. You specify what
accessories you want wheo ordering your car, and
these are the ones (and the only ones) it will carry
when delivered. Some items may be lacking due to
current shortages; but none urill be added.
REGARDING TRADE-INS
Naturally, if you have a car to trade, we would
like to have it in order to take care of our regular
used car customers. Our appraisals are fair, based
on current conditions. But if you do not *have a
car to turn in, we still want your order and will
accept it for delivery based on the conditions out
lined above.
Since this is our "home town", our business and its
future is based on our good relations with the people
of this community. We are most happy that so many
people here?as all over the country?have made
Pontiac their number one choice as a new car.
Nothing pleases us more than to turn over the keys of
a new Pontiac to one of the many people whose
Orders we have, because we know they have chosen
well?for Pontiac is always a thoroughly good car, and
a thoroughly good value, this year, next year, arty year.
