By Bob Terrell
Hats off to one of the best coaches
ever to fit Id a football team at
dear old Sylva High. By that we
mean Coach James Barnwell. He's
doing a magnificent job with the
players and most of all, he's win
ning ball games. It's been a long
time since a Sylva team won fourj
straight ball games and this 1948
version of the Golden Hurricanes
has done >ust that and still have1
a whule of a chance to run that,
streak through several more games.,
Some critics said the T forma-j
tion wouldn't go in Sylva, but'
they've changed their minds yfter
seing Sylva run over lour teams
with it At first the critics said it
takes a quarterback to run a T
and that Barney didn't have one.
But it's turn.ng out that Jack Cun
ningham and Roy Elders are do
ing a bang-up job behind the pivot
man. So far, Cunningham has
scored a total of 44 points and has
had a hand in every Sylva touch
down th.s season with the exception
of two scored Friday night. "Lard"
has either run them himself, hand

ed off for them or passed forj
them. The only two that he wasj
not involved in was when Elders
handed off to Furman Dillard fori
one in the last quarter and when
Kent Hoyle intercepted the pass
and ran it back 60 yards to score
Friday night.
It looks as if though Barnwell
has found a place kicking special
ist in Charles Cunningham.
"Grease" booted three out of four
Friday night and was as sur
prised about it as anyone on the
f.eld. They say practice mak.s
perfect ,and Charles has been prac
ticing his kicking at home.
There's no reason wny the Hur- 1
thanes shouldn't keep on winning.!
They've certainly turned up with
a contender for the conference1
championship. If th.y continue to
play ball as they played for -the:
last four games, they may windi
Lh.ngjj up witn their first Smoky
Mountain coni^rence champion- I
ship in years, possibly in history. I
So much for the Hurricanes, now
let's take a look at Cullowhee Cat
.mounts. Coach Tom Young's boys
1 really pasted one on Eastern Car
olina last Friday night. 39-0 is a
jig score to _run up in any ball
Tame. But it hurts most when a
team's reserves play the greater
part of the game and still beat you
hat bad. Coach Young played
mostly his reserve strength thruout
the last three quarters of the
game, and when the lowest string
on the club keeps scoring, there
n't much that can be done.
The game, despite the over
whelming scora^cost Western Car
olina a great deal. By that we
mean that A1 Capeiila, the Cata
mount's flashy tailback, was taken
from the game with a dislocated
'uiee and may be out of action for
the remainder of the season. Cape
.rila was a valuable cog in Coach
Young's machine. He had speed,

HURRICANES TAKE FOURTH STRAIGHT

(Herald Sports Editor)
The Sylva Golden Hurricane,
rapidly spreading a destructive
trail throughout Western North
Carolina, unleashed its fury on the
Franklin Panthers here Friday
night and swept them off
their feet by the score of 41-6. A
capacity crowd filled Mark Wat
son Field to see Coach James
Barnwell's touchdown minded
Hurricanes tike their fourth
straight win, their most impres
sive one since before the war.
Not since W.tynesville handed
them a 19-0 defeat on September
17 have the Hurricanes tasted de
feat. Only two touchdowns have
been scored against them since that
night while they have pounded
over 15 times.
Sylva was in trouble at no time

Robbinsville?With fullback Ted
Tordon accounting for five of their
seven touchdowns, the Robbins

outclassed Copper Hill, Tennessee
^leven by the count of 47-0 here
Friday night.
Jordon turned in scoring jaunts
of 40, 25 and 20 yards and took
oasses from Buck Atkinson for
two more.
Spider Cook and Atkinson scored
the other two Robbinsville mark
ers.
In first downs Robbinsville ex

Yet, you car not completely
overshadow one m:in's glory with
another's misfortune. The ECTC.
game was a fullback's dream. Ev
i ry Western Carolina touchdown
was scored by a fullback. Paul
Monroe tallied three times, Joe
font twice and Paul Rogers once.
Frank Hardin, who ran at fullback
in 11)45 for the Cats and later spe
cialized in kicking, booted the ex
tra points.
We know the Cats had a field
day?let's hope they have another
at Lenoir-Rhyne Saturday night.

The Bryson City Maroon Oevils,
sparked by Mack Hyatt, who-scored

Bryson City's first tally came in
the second period when end
Charl s Woodard blocked a Hayes

Yellow Jackets' 30. The Maroons
pushed the ball down to the nine

in the game Friday night. They
scored every time they took pos
session of the ball but two when
Franklin's b<-cks intercepted pass
es. Sylva did not have to kick
throughout the game.
The fireworks started just after
the opening kickoff when Ernest
Bumgarner ran the ball back to
Sylva's 48 yard line. A pass, Jack
Cunningham tu his brother, Chas.
was good for 7 yards but on the
next play the Hurricanes received
a 15 yard penalty which set the
ball back on their own 40. Jack
Cunningham, running from punt
formation, reeled off a 42 yard run
which set the ball on Franklin's 18.
Ernest Bumgarner hit the line three I
limes for gains of 11, 6 and one
yard which netted the first TD of
the game. Jack Cunningham
sneaked the extra point.
Franklin'.N Muggins took Sylva's
kickoff on h;s goal line and ran
.t back to the 38 where he fumbled
on the next play and Wesley War
' /en recovered for the Hurricanes.
Jack Cunningham t )ssed two in
:omplc?ed passe.;, then handed o f
io Ken Hoyle who raced off tackle
?o the 14. An offsides penalty
: gainst Franklin placed the ball
on the nine from where Jack Cun
ningham pulled a quarterback
sneak from T formation for the
second touchdown. Hoyle took a
handoff for the extra point and a
14-0 lead.
The second quarter was score
less until minutes before the half
when - Sylva staged an 85 yard
drive following Lewis Welch'
punt which went out of bounds on
Sylva's 15. In 11 plays the Hur
ricanes drove tiie ball over with
Jack Cunningham chalking up the
touchdown On a 12 yard run.
Charles Cunningham booted his
first of three extra points through
the uprights for a 21-0 lead which
ended, the first half.
Sylva marked one more TD in
the third period when Charles
Cunningham topped off a 62 drive
by going over from the one on a
nandoff. Charles kicked the extra
point for a 28-0 lead.
- Then came the action filled
fourth quarter. Early in the quar
ter Sylva's Furman Dillard plunged
over from the one following a sus
tained drive from the 50 and Chas.
kicked his th\ird point.
With Sylva's reserves playing
the largest part of the quarter,
Franklin's Huggins took the kick
off on his goal lin$ and returned
it to the 18. Franklin marched
steadily downfield rolling up their
only 6 first downs of the game and
70 of their 83 yards on the ground.
Frank Henry swept off tackle from
:he six for the touchdown. Henry
missed, the try for point-after.
Shortly before the game ended,
Sylva's Kent Hoyle intercepted a
Franklin pnss on Sylva's 40 and
r n it the 60 y?rds to the end zong
leaving t'.-.r e would-be tacklcrs
15 yards behind. Charles Cun
ningham missed the extra point
and the g: rre end*ed w^th Sylva
leading 41-6.
Charles Cunningham was as
surprised as anyone at his kicking
ability, but another fellow who
deserves credit for his kicking is
Ernest Bumgarntr who planted
all of Sylva's kickoffs on the
Franklin goal line.
The line play of tackles Tom
Henry and Clyde Bumgarner and
guard Wesley Warren was out
standing. They had plenty of help
from Dennis Ensley and ^ Perry
Rhodes. Zollie Fincannon proved
to be Franklin's chief scourge from
the flanks.

The modem design far '49
new Hudson
Com* in and in th? n?w Hudson?
tho lowest-built car on tho high
way, with beauty, riding qualities,
comfort and safety only possible
because of a new "step-down'* de
sign, offered by no other automobile!
Only once in a blue moon docs a car
step so far ahead that it is a protected
investment in motor-car value! You are
invited to see just such a car?the New
Hudson with "The modern design for
'49"? and for years to come!
Here is truly streamlined beauty?a
stunning combination of free-flowing,
low-built lines that develop naturally out
- of a reressed floor which is the key to
a basically new and exclusive design
principle. The New Hudson is the only
car you step down into.
The development of a "step-down" zone
in an exclusive, all steel Monobilt body
and-frame* permits Hudson to build the
lowest car on the highrcay?only five feet
from ground to top?while maintaining
more interior head room than in any
mass-produced car built today!
But streamlined beauty isn't the whole
story of Hudson's modern design.
Hudson has a hug-the-road way of going ,
on every conceivable kind of highway.
The way in which this car takes even
the sharpest curves makes it a "stand
out" for roadability in any year!
These remarkable riding qualities are
largely due tq the fact that the New
Hudson provides the lowest center of
gravity in any American stock car?yet
road clearance is ample! It is a widely
recognized jact that the lower to, the
ground a car can be built, the more sta
bility it will have and the sajer it v>itt be.
Such o delightful conformity to the road,
coupled with the protection of riding
encircled by a sturdy box-section steel
frame, gives to everyone who rides in a
New Hudson a grand feeling of safe well
being! This feeling is further enhanced
by the ease with which this car is oper
ated, and by the restful quiet with which
Hudson glides along?thanks to the sup
erb sound control engineered into this
advanced automobile.
See "The modern design for
'49** today! Come in and let
us show you the many advan
tages of Hudson's fabulous
