Out on the city park about 35 youngsters, green in football tactics, are being driven hard in daily prac tice by Coach “Casey” Morris in the attempt to bring forth an eleven that will uphold Shelby’s reputation of big teams in the past. This year’s outfit will not be big in stature, or experi ence in the game and that’s a certain ty. about the only one, at the outset. (Iiowever, their lack of experience and size will almost be made up in fight, it being one of the hardest scrapping squads Shelby has seen in several years. There’s no one out with the experi ence and ability to step in ”Buck>’* Connor’s shoes, nor is there a fight ing hulk to set ip the place of “Big ’ Beam, and all along the line and through the backfield there are none 1 to equal stars of last year’s flashy eleven. But for every berth there are two or three youngsters, knee-pants boys last year, who are fighting like demons to make up for their other short comings, in the line the team will he built around Vernon Grigg center, Laymon Beam and Elliott, tackles, all scrubs of last year. In tno buckfield Melvin Peeler is the only experienced candidate although a few of the others have at various times performed in the scrub line-up. Out of the array Coach Morris has already assembled a first and second eleven, both possessing a drive ant; plenty of fight, but ignorant of the in side game. In Gillespie,,‘Tom Ken, Ed Harris, Peeler and “Dutch" Whig nahl! he id developing a fast-moving little backfield, with Wilson, Bill Harris, Rippy and others running them a close second. On the flanks he has Cline Lee, brother of Glenn Lee, Anthony and Hoyle; Elliott and Lay mon Beam, understudy of his big brother, are at tackles with Gardner giving them a merry scrap for their places. Singleton and Goble are being used at guard with Black and a num- ] her of others in the running and Ver non Grigg, experienced passer, at center. In a short scrimmage held Wed nesday afternoon the first eleven used was: Lee and Anthony, ends; Beam and Elliott, tackles; Singleton ana Coble, guards; Kerr, full back; Gilles pie, Ed Harris and Whisnant, half backs, and Grigg and Peeler alternat ing between center and quarter. In the scrub lineup Gardner, fighting foi | a berth on the first string, tore up I play after play by the first eleven, in I Gillespie, who is also a star baseball i player, Coach Morris has what ap ! pears to be one of the fastest bacKs I ever seen on the park. Beam, EUiotv ; and Lee are also showing up well In the line. First Game Soon. The first regularly scheduled game is booked for a week from Friday with Mt. Holly and if either of the youngsters being used at quarter set tles down and gains the confidence of his teammates, stopping the little out fit will be no easy attack although it will be the first game for more than half of the eleven. Fans are still discussing the prob ability of “Coon” Magness’ return to school, and if the speedy little half should get back this week Shelby football stock would advance several points. Notice..

John \\. t'uttle has been moderator, estaidi hml :i record f< ? the South in that there are 15 stan dard Sunday Schools. With all of these achievement: . however, the total contributions for till purposes were found to he $3,1100 short ( f last year, according to the church di gest handed by the delegates to fleck G. G. Page. The lo s in cor.! i ibutnms was a shock to many of the leaders whose explanation however, was that its the result of a re-actidn. from the 75 million dollar campaign which bar, closed, the contributions apparently taking a "rest” spell from giving. Feed 1500 People Some fear was expre: vd that tile First church would not have an abun dance of fowl for the visitors and delegates, but ifhen the table was spread and the baskets emptied, 1500 were fed and enough was left to feed as many more. Extra tables bad t • be erected to provide tables space— the housewives having prepared tuth bountiful basketn, vising with the country churches where in the years gone by the tables have been so gen erously and munificently spread with good things.

Figures on Sunday School enrollment and attendance had not been compiled yesterday. Fine Sunday School Record. The association is proud of having established a record among Baptist Associations in the South. Fifteen Sunday Schools have attained the standard of excellence and this rec ord has largely been made through the untiring efforts of A. V. Wash burn, the energetic Sunday School worker who was put on last year when the association met at Double Springs* In all probability his servic es will be continued. The fifteen Sun day schools which attained this stand ard are: Boiling Springs, Casar, Doub le Shoals, Double Springs, Fallston, Kings Mountain First, Kings Moun tain second, New Bethel, New Hope, Pleasant Grove, Sandy Run, Shelby Second, Union Waco and Zoar. Rev. G. P. Abernethy spoke on the Sunday School report, delivering a masterful address on the fine work that is be ing done in the association. Banners had been made by Mr. Washburn and displayed in the church showing that in the teacher training courses which had been conducted during the year closed, 492 S.

Tan ner handled the subject of foreign missions in an able manner, after which Walter M. Gilmore represent ing the state board substituted for l>r. f. K. Madry who was unable to be here. He paid a tribute to Rev. Rush Padgett and Mrs. John Wacan ter who are doing a great mission work and called attention to Mission Sunday which will be observed over the state next Sunday. The churche. of the Kings Mountain Association are $.‘ifi,000 behind on their pledges to missions and Mr. Gilmore pointed out the causes to which all mission money is apportioned in the co-op erative plan. J. C. Newton, an enthusiastic lay man spoke on church finances and lent weight to the other missian talks by stressing tithing and more liber al Christian giving.
