WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1955 NUMBER FORTY-TWO NUWAY COMMUNITY FAIR FRIDAY & SAT. HOMECOMING FOOTBALL GAME AND BiG STREET PARADE FRIDAY ANNUAL GIRL SCOUT DRIVE FOR FUNDS BEGIN TODAY, WED. 19th Parade At 2:30; Game At 7:30 By RONALD TURNER Cherryville's Ironmen, well-rest ed following an open date last weekend, clash with the first of three straight non-conference foes this weekend in the home coming day feature at Cherryville High. Coaches Bill Link and Em mett Feimster send their forces against Spencer here Friday night at 7:30. The intra-loop battle is rated a toss-up. Both teams have been shoved around quite a bit this sea son with Spencer still winless in five starts. Cherryville has copped but one game in six starts. Last season, the locals traveled to Spencer and blanked the Rail roaders 13-v. Paul Taylor, the romping 190 pound fullback, who 'tallied three times and (joined 101 yards via rushing against Mt. Holly in the season op.ener, is expected to be ready to go Friday. Taylor's re turn gives the locals seven front line back who can turn on the steam. Carroll Carpenter will again be at blocking back with Charles Hudson and Ronald Tur ner at the halves. Roy Dagger hart, Red Morrison, and Larry Kilby, who showed consideraole drive from his fullback slot at Forest City, will be available for iwlief itntv. PAUL GINN Kilby, 220 pound junior, will also aid Co-Captain Paul Ginn and Vance Schrum at the tackle posts with Carpenter moving to guard with Daggerhart at block ins' back. Bob Buff, the transfer from Lincolnton, and Darrell Carpenter will again be at ends with Tom my Moss and Tommy Wilson for relief. The guard positions will probably be again manned by Jerry Goins and Stan Crisson with Jack Hobbs also on hand. Harold Tallant, a 48-minute man, is the center. With Taylor back in the line up, some of the pressure- will be lifted from Turner's shoulders. In. six games, Rocket Ron has ac counted for 1,151 yards. The lo cals defeated Mt. Holly 33-19 and tied Shelby 0-0. lost to Kings Mountain 28-0, Lincolnton 26-6, Belmont 14-0, and Forest City 39-19. SPENCER GOOD Assistant Coach Emmett Feim ster was on hand last Friday night at Lexington, a South Piedmont power, humbled Spencer 33-6 at Spencer. Lexington’s Yellow Jac kets, one of the state’s unbeaten powers, built up a 27-0 lead in the first half and coasted the rest of the way. Tha Railroaders tal lied first in the second half and playing the heavily favored Jac kets off their feet in the second half. ^ Coached by Curt Davidson, the Spencer eleven is victory-hungry. The fact that they haven’t won a game this season plus the 13-0 licking handed them by the Iron men last season will make the vis itors a rough bunch. The Rail roads opened the season with a couple of scoreless deadlocks. They tied Barium Springs and Thomasville 0-0, lost 7-6 to a good China Grove outfit, tied Children’s Home 0-0, and lost to powerful Lexington. Tony Queen operates the Spen cer Split T with A1 Brown and Bill Welch at the halves, Ray Chambers at fullback. Chambers and Brown are the club’s top ground gainers. The Railroaders also boost one of the state’s top lineman in tackle Larry Wagner. A terrific offensive and defensive performers, Wagner is a sure-fire bet for all South Piedmont hon ors.
