Darkhorses Stampede Past Biltmore Bulldogs, 19-0 Einstein Calls For World Understanding 0 In the following letter received by Mrs. C. E. Keith. Albert Ein stein, the famous scientist, makes a plea for greater understanding of the problems of foreign peop ple, in order that we may better work for world peace. “Dear Friend: I am writing to ask your help at the suggestion of a friend. It is a difficult moment in which to write. All about us we see the wreckage of great hopes which mankind held for the building of peace. The gulf between East and West which men of good will have worked to close is widening daily. Some people believe that no re conciliation is possible and that another World War must decide the issue; we scientists reply that it is no longer possible to decide any issue by such means—an atomic war will bring no real de cision but only unprecedented death and devastation on both sides. Such a time in history breeds defeatism and despair. But there are those among us who believe that man has within him the cap acity to meet and overcome even the great tests of our times. What we must not lose, or we lose all, is our willingness to seek the truth and our courage to act upon the truth. If we maintain these, we cannot despair. We scientists believe upon amo le evidence that the time of decision is upon us—that what we do or fail to do within the next few years will determine the fate of our civilization. That is the gisc of the enclosed statement of this Committee which was published on June 30, 1947. We call for a “high er realism which recognizes that . . . our fate is joined with our fellowmen throughout the world. Great ideas may often be xepress ed in very simple words. In the shadow of the atomic bomb it has become apparent that all men are | brothers. If we recognize this as truth and act upon this recogni tion, mankind may go forward to a higher plane of human develop ment. If the angry passions of a nationalistic world engulf us fu ther, we are doomed. The task of the scientists, as we conceive it, is untiringly to explain these truths, so that the American | people will understand all that is at stake. We believe that witn such understanding, the American people will choose from among many paths to reach a peaceful solution and that they will move toward such a solution and not toward war. As we believe that, in the long run, security for all nations demands a super-national solution. We will strive unceasingly to bring this understanding to the American people through all the avenues of public discussion open to us. If we are to have any hope of influencing the Russians and convincing them that the Ameri ca wants peace and security for all peoples, we must understand the reasons for their profound dis trust for eveything foreign, whicn has become the sickness of a stub born isolationism. We will work for understanding, not abject appease ment. Each of us, whether as scien tist who worked to release atom ic energy, or as citizens of the nation that applied the knowledge, stands accountable for the use we make of this tremendous new force. To our generation has come the possibility of making the moso fateful decision in the recorded history of the human race. By an act of the collective will, we can ensure that this great and painful achievement of man’s intellect, in stead of turning upon humanity may be secured for the benefit ot future generations.

The backs were running hard and the the blocking of the backs on run,, passes, and kicks was greatljjriiHt proved on defense. The line vsas charging harder and again arid again threw the Biltmore ba«> for large losses. ( The game opened with Black , Mountain kicking off to Biltmore. Co-captain Reese got off a nit* , boot and Biltmore was held for . downs. The first break of the | game came on Biltmore’s punt; the Darkhorse safety man fumbled [ the slick ball and an alert Bilt more end pounced on it. Uiitmim began a march that looked as if it ’ might reach paydirt. Reese tbm altered the complexion of things by a beautiful interception of s Biltmore pass and a runback of about thirty yards. As the quarter ended the game was still scoreless. The Darkhorses managed te open the barn door in the second! quarter. “Shoulders” Osteen hit little brother "Brutal” Osteen watt* a neat pass which brought the bad to the Biltmore eight where Pad gett and Morris opened a nice hole for Reese who bulled his wsiy across the goal line standing up.. The attempt for point failed an* the score at halftime was Biart Mountain 6—Biltmore 0. Roaring back after the half the Darkhorses salted the game awas in the third quarter with twe touchdowns and an extra point. Kicking off to Biltmore to begirt the second half proved to be gooJ strategy since Biltmore immediate ly fumbled. Max Morris, who play ed a brilliant game at left tacklf. for the Darkhorses plopped down on the ball. The Darkhorses start ed advancing. The march was fea turedby a 15 yard run by A. Os teen that brought the ball down to the one yard line. There Stevens and Bryson opened up and Reese broke through for his second touchdown of the evening. On the try for point, Reese booted the ball squarely through the up rights only to have the point nul lified —Black Mountain was pen alized 15 yards for unecessary roughness and the play had to be run again—this time from thel7 yard line. A long pass A long pass to the endzone was dropped and thr. score now became 12-0. Black Mountain kicked off, Bilt-- more received and soon had t® Lie ~ the ball took a crazy roH and the Darkhorses started kick ing up their heels. Barnwell dash ed thirty yards around left end, Reese who did some beautiful blocking on the play was injured and had to leave the field. How ever, the Darkhorses continued * drive that ended when Gregg ploughed through center for the score. Barnwell went off tacldte i'or the extra point and the score became 19-0. During the fourth quarter, both teams threatened; play became rough and penalities were fre quent. Black Mountain substituted freely and the subs showed up well.
