MARSHALL RED TORNADO TO
BATTLE WALNUT fflGH FRIDAY
'BIGGEST CAME OF YEAR
FOR BOTH HIGH SCHOOLS
The most important game of the
year, to bof the participating ath
letes and the fans, will be that next
Friday, Oct. 25, when the Marshall
High school Red Tornado and the
Walnut High School football team
meets on the Walnut grid." These
two teams have had a friendly rival
ry for many years that is unsurpass
ed in tfhia section of the country, and
this rivalry is not always friendly a
mong the spectators. Each school
believes that an irrepislable force
will meet an immovable object.
Coach Wilkie, of Marshall reports
a full team of Veterans, and the hard!
driving ability of Tweed, the end
running of Worley and Bradburn,
the uncanny passing ability of Rob
inson, coupled with the hard driving
of a well balanced and not too light
line, should give Marshall an edge
over the opposition. According to
statistics of games with Spruce Pine
and. Mara fell, Maxtftiagl had fva
edge there.
The largest crowd to witness a
hisrh school name in this section. is
expected to see this game..

Committee Appointed To Take Matter Up With
Interested parties
COUNTY AGENT TO COOPERATE
(At the last meeting of the (tivitan Club, Friday of last
week at the French Broad hotel, khe matter of a canning plant
for Marshall was brought up and discussed and received the
hearty endorsement of the club. jPrevious to that meeting, Mr.
Galloway, of Tryon, N. C, was ini Marshall and consulted some
of the leading business men with reference to operating such a
iaiit m luaiaiiau m ,ine summer ana lau as a branch of a simi
lar concern now being operated ill Florida. Jt was brought out
that Mr. Galloway seemed favorably impressed with Marshall
as a location for such a plant provided a suitable building could
;e outaiueu. a discussion iea to tne statement that such a
building is already in Marshall. !A live committee of the club
rw(a, niamed to take the matter up with the interested parties
and do all in their power to bring this industry to Marshall.
Such a plant would be used to can tomatoes, corn, beans, ap
ples, and other products which can asily be produced in Madi
son County, and some which goes to waste for want of such a
plant. Moreover, by the cooperation, of the county agent, who
neanny endorsed the idea, the larders would be instructed
ana assisted in planting such crops to would supply the can
nmg plant for the. season of the year desired. It is hoped that
before another issue of this paper! something definite along
tnis line may nave developed. ' ;

With two conference victories to
thejif credit tbs Mars Hill Lions are
determined to make it ifrree in their
with Belmont Ally next Satur
day! at Charlotte.
e Lion defeated Lees-McRiea
in their game Saturday by the score
of if to 0. A faulty , kick which
trawled only 13 yards out of bounds
onf flteiBulldo 30 set the stage for
thetaly ,corft oitiAllMtmA T
Lions drove the ball up to the 9 yard
line in five plays before Wlrtz, star
back, waa thrown for a 10 yard loss
to put the ball back on the Lees-
McRae 19. On the next play Carter
dropped back and tossed a pass in
to the end zone to Hurst who made
a leaping catch on the run to give
the Lions their margin of victory.
Weaver's try for extra point went
wide of the uprights. 1
The score of the garme does not
truly indicate the superiority of the
Lions. They made 279 yards on
running playp and 44 yards through
the air. Wirtz also brought back
punts for an average of 22 yards per
try during the afternoon. The Lions
threatened on four other occasions
driving inside the Bulldogs 20 yard
line on each occasion, once to the 15
yard line and again to the 2 yard
line.
This week's drills for the Lions
will be of the same nature as last
wuek's. The Robertsmen have look
ed woefully weak in blocking all
saeson. Saturday's game was no
exception. The backs practically had
to make their gainst by themselves as
they had very little assistance from
their teammatJes. The passimr at
tack will also be polished up in work
outs this week. '
The game with Belmont this week
is an annual affray. The Lions were
victoiious in lapt year's game by 13
to 0. ' ".t3t

IN MEMORY OF ALICE
Dear Alice, your placa is vacant, and
we miss your smiling face; But we
know that you are at rest in a fr
better place.
Although we cannot help weeping for
We loss of a -dear beloved mend ;
But we know that you wsre faithful
until the end, and so must we be; If
ever your ' smiling) face again- we
wish to see. '
Tour friends gather and have their
fun; But now you are not with them
your race has been run. - -
Gobs are yon, my friend; and lonely
is our lot bat m our hearts abiding
you will not be forgot.
xou can not come to us dear. Nor
