:
Here And There
Sir nge things do happen. But
they don't always have to come
in bunches like bananas. Take for
instance, Jackson county's two
football clubs, the Western Caro
lina Teachers and th Sylva Golden
Hurricane. As long as one was
w.nning, so was tne oiher. But
when one lost a game one night,'
tne otner lost a game the next:
night . . . and by the same 7-6!
score. Also, the winning team in
both cases scored in the same quar
ter and the los.rs scored in the1
same quarter./
We're referring, as no doubt you
know, to Sylva's 7-6 loss Friday )
night to Robbinsville and Western ?
Carolina's 7-6 loss to Maryville
Saturday night.
Another tunny thing. Both los
ing club led in statistics, with Sylva
doubling Robbinville in first downs
14 to 7 and outgaining them on
the ground 134 yards to 118, and
the Catamounts more than doubl
ing tne Scotties in first and ? tens
at 12 to 5 and rolling up 142 yards
on the ground against 91.
It's going to be interesting to
watch these two clubs attempt to
get back into the win column this

Coach Wt llace Hyde sports one
v the be^ teams in the Smoky

observation. He got off to a slow

hut his boys have finally hit

victories where it hurts the most.
At any rate, when they whipped

We'll give Coach Hyde credit for

BLUE DEVILS TAKE MEASURE
OF SYLVA IN 7 TO 6 BALL GAME
Hurricanes Drive
To One, Bog Down
By BOBBY TERRELL
(Heraid Sports Editor)
ROBBINSVILLE?After rolling
up a string of >ve straight vic
?i ies, the Sylva Golden Hurricane
finally lost part of its velocity and
dropped a 7-6 football game to the
Blue Devils of Robbinsville High
here Fr.day night.
Despite the fact that Sylva mark
ed up twice as many first and tens
s Robbinsville and outgained them
on the ground by 16 yards and
through the airways by 68, the
Hurricane failed to hold Big Ted
Jordon, the driving Devil fullback,
who gained 84 ofKobbinsville's 118
yards on th. ground.
Topping off the last four minutes
of the second quarter with a 75
yard march, Robbinsville punched
over their touchdown and game
Winning extra point with only a
minute to spare before the half.
Beginning on tileir own 25 follow
ing a 15 yard kick return by Jor
don. the Blue Devils, with Jordon,
Elliott, Atkinson and Phillips car
rying the ball, marched to th? Syl- !
va 20: From that point Jordon
circled left end on a beautiful
oroken fielcKrun and showed his
eels in gobbling up the 20 yards
to pay dirt. The same play with
^i-don again packing the mail
resulted in the extra point.
Sylva tallied their touchdown in
h closing minutes of the gafhe.
Beginning on Robbinsville's 41
following a bad kick by Jordon!
which traveled only 16 yards, the
Hurricanes went into a surprise
spread formation and found their
power. Ernest Bumgarner went
through the middle to the 29, Jack
Cunningham passed to brother,
Charles on the 20, and Bumgarner
again hit the middle for 'another
yard. Jack tried two more passes
to Charles, both incomplete, then
with 3rd and 10, Jack flipped a
long aerial which right end Car
toI Ashe hauled in the the end
one for the touchdown. A line

In toe l..sf of the first quarter
and the first of the second, Sylva
ma report 74 yards from the r 25
to Robbinsville's one and fail d tc
push the ball across. Again at
the beginning of the second half,
the Hurricanes drove down to the
Blue Devils' 19 and lost the ball
on downs as the powerful opposing
line bucked up and held them.
The loss probably knocked Syl
va out of the Smoky Mountain
conference crown.
Jordon was by far the outstand
ing player for the Blue Devils al
though Patton, the left guard, and
quarterback Buck Atkinson both

Cherokee Boxing Meet
Set For Friday Night
The Cherokee American Legion
boxing team will square away at
the Gatlinburg belters here Friday
night. Eight, three round bouts
will be held.
The last meeting between the
two teams was won by the In
dians by 2 points. It's a safe bet
that the boys from across the
Smokies will be out to avenge that
defeat.
Out of seven fights, the last meet
>vas featured by three knockouts
?something that is seldom seen in
an amateur show. That's an ex
ample of what to expect when you
go to the Cherokee Community
House Friday night to see the two
teams level off.
