ALMOSTI-Eric Weber appears to have caught a pass (above) in the end zone but was unable
to bold the ball. This was felt by many to be a key turning point in the Bulldogs' loss to Sylva.
Many fans felt that there was pass interference on this play but this Scout photo shows that
there was none. In the bottom photo, Hubert Wells racks ig> six points for Murphy.

54-19 Rout Of Bulldogs
Bv Red Schuyler
Striking with lightning like
power, the Sylve-Webster Gol
den Eagles ran roughshod over
the Murphy Bulldogs to hand
them their first defeat of the
1966 season. I When the final
whistle blew, S.W. had racked
tg> 54 points to 19 for the Bull
dogs; It was the most points
scored on the Bulldogs In any
one game In many moons.
It was also a game that will
go In to the records for the
most passes ever thrown In a
game played this side of Ashe -
vtlle and even In the State In a
high school game. ?A total of
54 passes were thrown by both
teams. The Bulldogs connected
on 22 out of 43 or a little
better than 50$ while the Eagles
completed 5 out of eleven which
Is a Hole less than 5056. This
was also the first loss to Sylva 1
on the local new field. 1
The 22 completed passes by 1
the Bulldogs netted them 252 '
yards while the Eagles were 1
getting US yards via the air- <
lanes. While the Bulldogs were I
grinding out 26 yards on the '
ground the Eagles amassed a 1
a total of 282 yards. <
The high flying Eagles pres- !
en ted to the Murphy fans one of 1
the best schoolboys teams ever '
to play on the local field. The 1
Eagles put 28 points on the
board before the BuUdogs could 1
hit paydlrt. I

Phillips, Sylva-Webster pres- 1
ented two backs that were ss e
good as any that have appeared j
In this area. Love was a threat '
every time he handled the ball.
Not only could he carry the
mall, tut he could also heave It
through the air. He passed for
two TD*s and ran for thfoe
more. He personally accounted
for 11 points and had a Mg hand
In another 12. A combined total
af 30 points. Before the season
Is over, these two boys will
have many colleges trying to
recruit them.
Phillips was a terror on de
fense and also accounted for two
touchdowns. One a scamper
through the middte of the line
gotag for savant) yards and
another, a pass from Love that
covered 37 yards.
Tyree Riser's magic toe was
good for six out of eight tries
for extra points.
Murphy's first TD was the
result of a pass from Wayman
to Walls that covered 11 yarda.
Wells added another TD on a
yard gallop and a pass
Wayman to Weber that
25 yarda accotanad for
- Bulldog TD. The same
combination picked up the only
In getting on the scoreboard.
On the third play from scrimm
age after receiving the opening
Idckoff Love scooted 26 yards
for the first TD with only one
minute and seven seconds el
apsed time.
Murphy failed to pick up a
first down on the ensuing kick
off and Wayman was forced to
kick out. His kick went for forty
yards took a Murphy bounce and
ended up on the S-W 7 yard line.
On the first play from scri
mmage Phillips picked up 14
yards but fumbled and Hoyt
Roberson pounced on it for a
Murphy recovery. The first
break of the game with Murphy
in possession on the S-W 20
yard line, first and ten.
On the first play Wells pick
ed up five yards, then Shields
lost five, then Shields picked
up the five he lost. With fourth
and five Wayman tossed the ball
to Wells and it was good for
eight yards and a first down
jutting the ball on theSW 3 yard
line. Stiles lost a yard. Wells
lost another three. With third
ind three, Wayman let go with a
itrlke to Weber in the end zone
xit Weber could not bold on to
t and it fell to the ground. This
ras in all probability the turning
joint in the game. Had Weber
nade good on this pass andMur
ihy made the extra point good,
t is the opinion of many fans
hat it would have been a dlff
rent game from there on. But
o me times that's the way the
tall bounces. With one down
-emaining, Wayman's pass to
Veils was no good and Sylva
Vebster took over again,
ileven plays later and with the
elp of a fifteen yard penalty
-W posted another TD on the
oard.
Receiving the ttckoff once
gain, the Bulldogs (ailed to
aln and Waytnan once more
ooted the ball to the S-W
0 yard line. On the first play
nom scrimmage , Phillips
roke through the line and out
en the Murphy secondary (or
le third TD. Tlie play covered
9 yards. The Bulldogs managed
1 hold the Eagles to two TD's
i the second quarter while
JSting six points on the
>ard for them.
In the third quarter, the
ulldogs tightened things ig> a
ttle by posting another score
aking the score then 34-12.
In the fourth period, the Bull -
igs let the Eagles fty high
;ain and they rackad up ano
20 points while the Dogs
Way?villa
at the Robb
insvllle Black Knights last
Friday by the tune of 31 to 13.
After losing to S-W by such a
one sided score, the Bulldogs
will be all fired up and the
prediction from this comer is
that when the final whistle is
sounded Friday night, the Bull
dogs will be once again on the
victory trail.

People & Issues
C.B. DEANE...Speaking to *
group of some 60 friends and
party leaders one evening sev
eral days ago former Congress
man C.B. Deane of Rockingham
had this to say concerning his
defeat for renonnnation as con
gressman In the 8th N.C. Dis
trict in 1956: "If Ihadtogoback
over it I would not sign the
Southern Manifesto."
Topeople who may not rem
ember. ten years ago this past
spring, a group of Southern le
gislators in Washington got up a
manifesto which was called the
"Southern Manifesto" which
spoke out strongly against the
U.S. Supreme Court's de-seg
regation decision. Most South
ern congressmen and senators
signed it. Two from North
Carolina refused?Rep. C.B.
Deane of the 8th district and
Rev. Harold D. Cooley of the
4th district Their refusal to
sign the "Southern Manifesto"
brought forward opposition.
Paul Kitchin of Wadesboro ran
against Deane, and won, 23,802
to 19,658. W.E. Deb nam, then
a radio commentator for WPTF
ran against Cooley and lost,
20,650 to 34,903.
C.B. Deane rallied to the su
pport of Harry Truman in 1948
when other party leaders were
dragging their feet. Today, he
says that Lyndon Johnson's un
popularity is kindred to Tru
man's in 1948.
VIETNAM....All our people
and particularly the people with
boys of military age are
interested and concerned with
the U.S. position in Vietnam.
Many of our experts can see
no early end to the shooting and
figure that it may take years be
fore the smoke of battle is
cleared away.
With this situation con
fronting us by a people who
many feel are not capable or
ready for democracy as we know
It, It would seem to us that the
better part of wisdom and valor
would be to move towards de- <
escalating the war insofar as
American participation is con- <
cerned rather than escalating it,
as has been the practice during i
the past four years. i
ATLANTA MAYOR....Our |
hat is off to Mayor Ivan Allan,,
Jr., of Atlanta for the manner ,
in which he has moved in to
crush StokelyCarmichael'seff-'
orts to stir up race against race'
in that great Southern city. 1
TOM WOODARD...The State 1
lost a valuable citizen and a le
ader in county and state gov- \
ernment with the passing of for- '
mer Rep. Tom Woodard of Wil- '
son. Tom Woodard was a states- '
man and stood for what he'
thought best for the State during '
his four terms in the General1
Assembly where we came to'
know him well and respect his 1
ability and decisions. '
HENRY BELK...Henry Belk I
has long been one of our fav
orites and it made us feel good
when the big, new dormitory
at East Carolina College was
named the Henry Belk Dor
mitory. Although Henry Belk
has been without sight for the
past several years he has been
able to keep up with whats going
on and maintain a clearer vision
of the future than most of his
associates with 20-20 vision.
While Henry Belk travels a
great deal he does not move
at the rat-race gait that too
many follow and in so-doing
fail to think matters through.
Henry Belk, prolific editorial
writer for the Goldsboro News
Argus and contributor to the
editorial page of die Greens
boro Daily News has long
been a leader for East Caro
Una College as a member of
the board of trustees and an ar
dent promoter af quality edu
cation not only In the colleges
but In the ptitlic schools of
North Carolina.
In the newspaper and writing
field where he has served so
loqg and so ably no one stands
taller or speaks with a clearer
voice In North Carolina than
Henry W. Belk.
GARLAND GARRISS....
Former Sute Senator Garland
Garriss of Troy is Ul and is
now a patient in Moore Mem
orial Hospital, Pinehurst. While
visiting him a few days ago we
were discussing with him edu
cation and government in gen
eral. Senator Garriss who is
i member of the Sute Board of
Education said that if the Fed
eral government would hand
>ver to the State the great sums
which it is spending on pub
ic education that at least three
times the benefit could be had
From it.
Because of the manner in
which the Federal funds for
education have been made av
ailable, they have uken from
the classrooms some of the best
qualified teachers for jobs less
important than classroom work
naking it necessary in some
nstances to employ second rate
teachers for the most important
work in the whole educational
jrogram--teaching.
