Shelton, Football Great, Our Neighbor, Member When in 1915 the great Walter Camp selected his All American football eleven, a gentleman, now residing in Black Mountain, then a resident of Dunkirk, N. Y., Murray N. Shelton of Cornell University’s team was chosen one of the two finest ends in the nation. In January of 1973, Mr. Shelton was given college football’s most prized possession membership in the National Football Hall of Fame. Thus did he join the se'ect group of American football greats, such as George Gipp, Red Grange, Jim Thorpe, Knute Rockne and scores of other famous players of the game. Mr. Shelton was called out of the stands at his alma mater at Ithaca during the half time of the Harvard Cornell game October 20, 1973 and was presented a plaque by Joseph D. Tooker of the Football Hall of Fame. A graduate of Cornell with a degree in civil engineering, he served his country in World War I and returned to take up practice of his profession. He is now retired and he and Mrs. Shelton reside in Charmeldee Acres in Black Mountain. We visited Mr. Shelton at his home last week. He is a gracious, charming gen tleman of the old school. It was very difficult to get him to say very much about himself. He was a lightweight by today’s College team stan dards weighing only 170 lbs. "They probably wouldn’t even consider me today,” he said smiling, "They want a man 6’4” or6’5” weighing well over 200 lbs. for ends now.” oTeve rveener Tapped By Phi Eta Sigma Steve Keener, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert P.

He attended Phillips Andover, a prep school for one year prior to entering Cornell. While there he played with the great Ned Mahan. He later played against him when Mahan was playing for Harvard. He listed as the highlight game of his career as one against Harvard. They (Harvard) were THE team. They hadn’t lost a game in three years. They played everyone who would play them — Michigan, University of Pennsylvania and other teams large and small. Handing them their first defeat in three years was a never to be forgotten thrill. Mr. Shelton recalled playing against such greats as Knute Rockne and Jim Thorpe and Lon Little a coach of the University of Pennsylvania. The Owen High School teams broke the jinx that had been dogging their footsteps for nine winless games with a victory over Drexel. The Warhorses trampled their opponents 51-44, the Lassies took their game 72-36 and the JV’s came through with a 55 50 win to make it a clean sweep. Bobby Stafford scored 12 points and pialed down 10 rebounds to lead the Warhorses. Arthur Howard, the Warhorse standby and most consistant player had 10 points as did Carl Moore.
