The questions go like this: “Are you a member of the church? ’ “Where?” “Are you a member of the Sunday school?” “Where?” “Are you a trained leader?” “Do you sing?’” and others. You will assist the cause great ly by planning tor someone to be home Sunday afternoon to give us this information. At least seventy five people will join in this project. All those taking part are asked to meet at the Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon at two o’clock. We will go out from there and report back when the task is com pleted. Let’s make it a success! Warriors Scalp Sand Hill, 13-7, In First Start o The Swannanoa Warriors, after trailing most of the way, pushed over a score in the waning mo ments of the third period Friday afternoon to take a 13 to 7 victory over a heavier and favored Sand Hill high team. It was the first reularly scheduled game of the season for the Swannanoa boys who are playing this fall under the direction of Coach J. J. Wal den. Sand Hill was leading, 7 to 0, in the first period when McClure, fleet half back, took the leather on a perfectly executed reverse and scampered 18 yards for the first Swannanoa touchdown of the year. Bailey failed to convert and the home team held the one point lead until late in the third quarter. The warriors counted the win ning marker on a break which came when Sand Hill fumbled be hind the goal and Ray Tipton, alert end, pounced on the ball for six points. This time Bailey’s try for. point was good. The fourth quarter was fought out near the center of the field with neither team threatening ser iously.

Darkhorses And Oakley Battle To Tie o Playing with only one veteran in the line, Coach Eugene Byrd’s 1947 Darkhorses opened the season here Friday afternoon by fighting a stubborn Oakley eleven to a 0 to 0 deadlock. The Byrd crew cross«d the goal in the early stages of the game but the play was called back and the locals penalized 15 yards from their own eight yard line for clipping. The Black Mountain Backs showed flashes of good form but were handicapped by the weak offensive play of a green line which stopped the enemy defense but was never able to open holes consist tly. Morris, left tackle, was t.. only veteran left from the 1946 county championship aggreg ation. Morris, Lindy Fortune, R. Osteen, and Stevens all played we'l on defensee. Although Oakley never serious- | ly threatened, the locals were not j able to gain through the line. They gained fairly well on wide end 1 sweeps and off tackle slants but it was always the same at center and at guards—the inexperienced Black Mountain boys just couldn’t open the holes. It was plain that the locals missed Brittain, Brown, Sarti, Willoughby, Pence, and Pad gett from the last year’s outfit. The backs are fast, the passing and kicking will do, but if the Darkhorses are to win this fall, the line must develop and do a ioi better job on the offense. Lineup for Black Mountain: R. Osteen, le Morris, It Thomas, c Reed, rg Bryson, rg Fortune, re 1 Henderson, qb A. Osteen, lh Barnwell, rh 1 Reese, fb Subs: Stevens, Morrow, and Gregg. e f ( SWANNANOA OES i MEETS OCTOBER l 1 Swananoa Chapter OES 132 will, \ meet Thursday October 9, at S r p. rn. at the Masonic hall in Swan- { nanoa.
