Oi.e ol the smoothest pass at- j
tacks we nave ever seen was dis
played at Cullowhee Saturday by
t: v Newue.y Indians, and it was
m *.ie on a field that was wet
enough to hamper any team's pas
sing. The passers, D. C. Witt, a
'Charleston, S. C. junior, and Bob
by Horton, a junior from Camden,
S. C., h|ad complete control of the I
wet ball tnrougnout the game. Hor- ,
ton was in long enough 40 spark
a Newberry drive that ended a
bruptiy on the one yard line.
It was Witt who did the dam- !
age. He was the nucleus of the
Newberry squad. He did all the
k 'Ling, all the passing when he
was in t!je game, and more than1
his shar'_? of the running. Cata- !
mou: t Coach Tuck McConnell said
a mouthisJl wnen he stated that |
Witt was one of the best backs he !
h.is seen ?'this year. All those who i
saw ':\j ga";e cjn baVk McConnell

Congratulations go to Coach j
frank Long and his Hayesville*
Y llow Jackets in winning th?
jonlerence cnampionship. After
they lost Bobby Curfningham be
:ause of his ineligibility, it looked
as though they had lost the back
bone of their ^eam. ^laybe they
did, but Coach Long didn't mind.
He just made his boys work that
nuch harder- and continue to win
jail games. You can't keep a good
team down.
More congratulations. This time
to our own coach, James Barnwell,
in being named to the coaching)
staff of the Western team for the
annual Optimist Bowl game to be
played in A^he^ille. Barnwell will
serve alongside Stewart Fanner of
Lee Edwards High of Asheville as
issNtanis to Bill Morris of Sand
Hill.
it is an honor which Barnw 11
justly deserves. He is now in his
is cond year of coaching and hi
tirst at Sylva. He took the mater
ial that won only one ball game
last season, added a few green boys
to tne roster and built a winning
ball club out of it. That took a lot of
hard work on the part of Baivney
and the boys. But everything turn
ed out right and the Hurricanes are
enjoying their best season since
before the war.
Sylva fans are expected to gej
their fill of football this week-end.

Conference Play Ends
With 2nd Place Clinched
By Bobby Terrell
(Herald Sports Editor)
The Sylva Golden Hurricanes
fully avenged themselves for the
drubbing they received by Bryson
City last year by rolling over the
same. Maroons by the score of 18
to 0 last Friday night on Mark
Watson Field before an estimated
crowd of 2.000 fans who watched
the game through a constant driz
zle of rain.
Coach James Barnwell's Hurri
canes were not in hot water
throughout the game as they kept
the Maroons from scoring distance
all the way. The victory, Sylva's
;ixth in nine starts and their fourth
in conference play against two
conferences d. feats, clinched sec
ond place in the Smoky Mountaip
conference standings for them.
Their conference play has ended.
Sylva tallied tirst at the end of
;he lirst quarter. Bryson City's

Jack ana Ch lies Cunningham took,
..i.i about in pjin.-h.iTg the bali
iuwn to the thr,e from where
.'haries plunged off tackle for the]
scoie. An attempted run tor the1
extra point was no good and Sylva
led -6-0.
The second quarter passed with
no further scoring and no scoring
threats from either team. How
ever, in the tKird quarter, Sylva
marked up their second touchdown
wh.n a DeHart kick was blocked
by Perry Rhodes, Sylva guard, and
covered in the endzone by Harold
Harris, who played a bang up ball
game from left end. Another run
tor extra point failed and Sylva
was out front by 12-0.
The Hurricanes finished their
scoring in the last quarter whenj
I Jack Cunningham passed to Char
les Cunningham from Sylva's 29.
"Grease" hauled in the pass on the
50 and went the rest of the way
with no interference on a beauti

j side stepping as he showed his
iceis on the last 25 yards of his
iin. A pass for extra point this
im^ f.iiled to p;.n out and t'ie gamv
?nded at 18-0.
I he Bryson City squad was in
lury-riddled from stum to stern.
3ut they still showed signs of be
ing a dangerous team. They were
.veil trained in fundamentals,
blocking and tackling, but they
just didn't stop the Sylva attack.
In the last quarter, Coach James
Barnwell gave the fans something
to get their minds off the rain.
He had his linesmen playing in
the backfield and his backs play
ing in the line. Wesley Warren,
playing fullback instead of guard,
pulled off a nice punt return. The
tackles, Clyde Bumgarner and
Zollie Fincannon w^re at half
backs, and Perry Rhodes, the other
guard, was at tailback. Jack and
Charles Cunningham, Earnest
Bumgarner, Furman Dillard, Hayes
Queen and Bobby Gunter were
in the line.
Throughout the game, Sylva's
line held Bryson City to a min
