PART 111
(Coach Bill Burns arrives in
Glendale to coach the girl’s athlet
ic teams. He finds that he has a
difficult job ahead in a town that
is divided into political factions.
Some of his team members, head
ed by their captain, Teresa Mar
lowe do not seem to wish to co
operate. However, Bill finds an
unexpected ally in R. L. Marlowe,
a leading business man, discovers
a prospect in attractive young
Rosa Jordan, and confronts his
avowed enemy, Randy Smith, who
just now is advancing upon him
with “blood in his eye.”)
As Randy Smith advanced, Coach
Burns had an opportunity to size
him up. Randy was not a bad
looking chap; he was probably
considered handsome by some peo
ple, but his face showed lines of
dissipation. Likewise there was
a spoiled, petulant expression on
his face that betokened that Mr.
Smith was used to having his way.
Bill opened his mouth to again
express his apologies for his un
intentional bumping, when a half
punch, half shove caught him in
the teeth, and he found himself
sitting on the sidewalk with a
taste of blood in his mouth. Then
he barely rolled aside, as Randy
Smith leaped at him with flash
ing shoes hoping to stamp him
while he was down.
Bums came to his feet, a little
white around the mouth and an
intense anger in his heart. A
great lover of fair play, a man
who insisted on sportsmanship on
the part of his teams, he hated a
“dirty” fighter. Considering
Smith’s rugged build, Bums in
wardly thanked his lucky stars
that he had gone out for boxing in
college and under the tutelage of
old “Pop” Satterwaite had ac
quired some pugilistic tricks of
his own.
“So, you want to play dirty, big
boy,” grated Bill as Randy confi
dently made another pass at what
he thought was an easy victim.

To Smith’s surprise, his round- :
house punch encountered only thin
air. and he received a left in re- j
turn that brought blood from his ;
nose and a foul curse from his
lips. Now it was the young coach
moving in, dancing around the
bigger man, probing his defense
with a rapierlike left, and throw
ing the right with all the abandon
of a “fireball” pitcher. All the
frustration of the past weeks, all
the non-co-operation that had held
him in suspense found na outlet
in the blows that Bums now di
rected at Randy Smith. He con
centrated on his opponent’s face,
converting it into a bloody mess
that was far from handsome. To
the credit of Randy Smith, he
kept on fighting though some of
his bull-like rushes had lost their
enthusiasm.
By this time a small crowd had
gathered and this made Randy
Smith all the more unhappy. He
saw his reputation as the bully of
Glendale rapidly being dissolved
at the hands of this cooly smiling
stranger. He redoubled his ef
forts when suddnley a voice was
heard to say: “Why that’s Coach
Bums.”
This seemed to galvanize Smith
to frantic action. Noticing a
short club lying near the side
walk, he reached down and grasp
ing it in both hands rushed at his
opponent.
This time instead of stepping
aside and probing his victim’s
face, Bill stepped in and threw his
“Sunday” punch, a short jolting
punch that caught Smith right
“on the button.” Down he went
like a poleaxed steer, twitched
and lay still, completely “out.”
Leaving instructions to the
slightly awed crowd to revive
Smith, Coach Bums continued his
homeward walk.
The next day at school, Coach
Burns noticed a new look of re
spect in the eyes of the students
as he came in contact with them.
When he passed down the halls,
he could hear lowa voiced conver
sation following his passing. It
was not hard for him to surmise
the topic of their whispered con
ferences.
When the time for afternoon
practice came, all the squad mem
bers with the exception of the
first team had dressed in record
time and were on the court eager
ly awaiting instruction. Since the
second team was composed in
large part of freshmen and soph
mores, Coach Burns was devoting
I a goodly amount of time break
ing them into his system of play
figuring that by the time another
year had rolled around that he
would have a group that would
repay his patience. Already in
practice, he could see that his
zone defense bothered the first
string forwards. However his sec
ond string forwards were unable
to score enough points for the
second team to outscore the vars
ity. They just lacked the finish
that experience gives to a team.
“If I just had one more good
forward,” Bill thought. “Say,
where’s the first team, today?”
Just then the dressing room
door opened, and he saw his en
tire first string dressed in street
clothes advancing toward him. In
the lead, was Teresa Marlowe, a
curious smile of triumph on her
lips. Each girl had a package in
her left hand. These they solemn
ly laid at the young and aston
ished coach’s feet.
Teresa spoke, “Here’s our uni
forms, Coach Burns, we’re QUIT
TING!”
(In next week’s installment,
Coach Burns finds himself look
ing for a new first string with
the season’s opener with Gracelyn
High only three days away.)

Sports Chatter

Congratulations to our local
softball team. They made their
debut in the Moore General
League a successful one by de
feating their first opponent by
the somewhat lopsided score of
18-4.
Everett Stevenson turned out to
be quite a softball pitcher, thus
solving one of Manager Rudisill’s
worries. That home run wallop
by James Brittain with the bases
loaded was a highlight of the
game.
The American Legion Post in
Asheville is trying to get an in
dependent league started in W- N.
| C. composed of returned veterans.
It sounds like a good project. Why
couldn’t Black Mountain get in on
this? j
Talking about good hitters, ty
Cobb the old Georgia Peach,
played in the American League
for 25 years and when he retired
his lifetime hatting average was
.367. That, brother, is hitting.
A little early but here is a fact
about football. Walter Camp
probably contributed more to mod
ern football than any other man.
He played six years at Yale, four
of these years while in college,
two while in Medical School. He
dropped out of Med school with
the statement, “I can’t bear the
sight of blood.” He captained the
1878 1879 and 1881 Yale teams
and after graduation coached Yale
for many years. He was a mem
ber of the Intercollegiate rules
committee for 48 years, and in
1891 wrote the first book publish
ed on the sport called Ameriacn
Football.. He inaugurated the
practice of picking All American
teams and made his selections
from 1889 until his death in 1925.
Local fans will hear with re
joicing of the comeback that
‘‘Lefty” Cliff Melton is making in
the Pacific Coast League. We
have been informed that he has
now won five straight games. It
appears that the operation on his
arm may be a success. We are
pulling for him to continue his
comeback and to make an early re
appearance in the majors.

Monroe Redden Urges
Development of Smoky
Mountains National Park
0
Monroe Redden, candidate for
rthe Democratic nomination for
congress from the twelfth congres
sional district, urges North Caro
lina and Tennessee to move hand
in hand in the development of the
’ Great Smoky Mountains National
Park.
! “ In opinion, The Great
Smoky Mountains National Park
is the most valuable national at
traction in Western North Caro
■ lina. More publicity on a national
scale is given to Western North
Carolina by reason of this park
than any other attraction we pos
sess.
It is up to the people to exploit
the possibilities so this treasured
possession. It fits into the life
of this section. We have long been
a tourist center of wide attrac
tion. Our mountains are famous
for their scenic beauty. The time
has come when we should now—
not two years from now—call to
gether our congressional leader
ship of North Carolina and Ten
nessee in order that a program
of progress and development of
this park may be inaugurated.
“There is no reason why North
Carolina and Tennessee shoul ’
not move hand in hand in urgiim
the development of this park. Tl
people of both states have a com-
mon interest in its development. J
“I helieve this generation is
entitled to enjoy the beauties and j
advantages of this park in sub- 1
stantial completion. There is no,
| reason why its development should,
be postponed for the pleasure of
j other generations. While Amer
ica moves forward industria ly,
agriculturally, and on all other
economic fronts, we should not
lag behind in this section because
of our failure to take advantage
of our present opportunities.
“The completion of this park
will mean that millions of dollars
and millions of people will pour
into our section annuallj t a
otherwise would go elsewhere,
suggest that we join in a united
front and demand action now.
