As far as the panthers are concerned this will be tire “big one’’ of the season. Most of the panthers have played under Coach Bob Thomas, now the .bead coach of Harris High. And they all “have it in” .for him. Coach Tubterow, head coach of the panthers, Has completely changed his offense from what Coach Thomas ran last year. And he has his defense adjusted to what he thinks Coach Thomas will run at Spruce Pine this year. In past years. East Yancey has defeated the blue devils one time (last year), while Harris High has taken two from the panthers. Last ■ year was a very close game at | 7-6. From the opening kick-off un til the final knocked-down pass, the game was a thriller. This year promises to be even more thrilling. Coach Tutterow announces the following as the starting offensive team for the panthers: left end, Charles Jarrett; left tackle, Ron nie Allen; left guard, Basil Mc- Dougald; center Benson Tyner; right guard, Byron Zuver: right tackle, Charles Chrisawn; right end, Charles- Willis, quarterback, Gordon Banks; left halfback, J. D. Silvers, right halfback, James Hoover, and fullback, Normin Ray. These boys, when they tangle with the blue devils, promise to give the fans a real thrilling ball- - eame. ; * NOTICE Yancey -Used Furniture and Yancey Upholstery will be open for business at the new location in the basement of Yancey Pharmacy, Monday, Sept. 3. nie Murphy, Vernie Murphy, Oscar Simmons, Roscoe Westall, and Ed Wilson.
