Kannapolis flashed a surprisingly strong team and never at any stage of the game did they let the local team have a look in. Grice, Leonard, Sigmon, Jonas, and Beal stood out in Lincolnton’s losing play. Ed Johnson. Wlolve stellar halfback, was out erf the game due to a cracked rib suf fered in scrimmage last week. Lenoir-Rhyne—A. S. T. C. Journeyed up to Hickory Friday night and witnessed the owl battle between the Bears and Mountaineers. The game ended in a scoreless tie, but at times both teams flashed bits ot spectacular play, notably in the first quarter when Carl Trippany, Appalachain’s star backfield ace, took a punt on his own 25 and gallop ed through the entire Bear team be fore being hauled down on the Bear three yard line by Jess Bumgarner, bear end. Lenoir-Rhyne’s forward wall rose to the heights at this stage and held for downs. Trippany, later had to be removed from the game due to a head injury and this hurt tlieir chances for a victory. Buck Mauney, local boy, was easily the outstanding offensive threat tho Bears offered the Mountaineers. ■Time and time again Buck ran around the flanks and off tackle for sub stantial gaink. Buck also did some flashy passing. If Lenoir-Rhyne had another running mate of Mauney’s calibre the game might have told a different tale Friday night. Cecil Sigmon, another of our boys, played the entire game at fullback and look ed good despite three fumbles he made during the game. This was Sigmon’s first college football game qnd he showed signs of nervousness. But, he’ll go places, just watch his smoke. "Goat” Lockman failed to get in the game, for some unaccountable reason, but Pat Shores, Bear coach, informed our party that he would start the game at Cullowhee next week. A marked increase in the produc tion of horses and mules on the farms of McDowell county has been noted by the farm agent. A number of brood mares from which colts are being raised. | U. S.

Tells World She Is Ready to Go to Limit; However, Will Not Tie Up With France London, Sept. 29.—Great Britain told France and the world tonight she means business in her willing ness to go the limit to prevent wan ton Italian invasion of Ethiopia or positive acts of “unprovoked ag gression” elsewhere. But at the same time she made it equally clear she is not going to tie herself up in advance with France to take similar drastic action if Ger many or any other country further violates Europe’s treaties. A comprehensive statement of British policy, written by Sir Sam uel Hoare, the British Foreign Sec retary, assured France that Great Britain is true to the principles of the League of Nations “and not to ally particular manifestation there of ” Yet it disclosed these three points which will have a profound bearing on future Franco-British relations: 1. Mere failure of Germany or ar.y other nation to fulfill the terms oi various treaties regarding arma ments or boundaries of Europe does rot call for application of sanctions under the league covenant; 2. Sanctions only “apply to posi tive actions of unprovoked aggres sion and even then, “the nature of the action appropriate to be taken” may vary; 3. Great Britain’s open-minded attitude toward the demands of Germany or other undefeated powers for the revision of treaties was shown in the insistence that “elas ticity is a part of security” because nations must recognize the “world is not static.” Authoritative sources declined to speculate on the effect the publica tion of Sir Samuel’s note will have in relations with France and Italy.
