; Two Good Football Tilts Here This Week Highs And Boiling Springs Both Hays Here During The Week. * Local followers of the grid- j iron game have two home tus t ales on for this week with the ffhelby highs meeting Mt. Holly here Thursday afternoon and Boiling Springs college playing the High Point college reserves on Saturday. The high school contest, tomor row, will give Shelby fans their first opportunity to see the Morrismen In action in several weeks. At the city park this week the Shelby coach has chased his squad througn intensive drills with the hope of breaking the losing streak with a win over Mt. Holly, Baptists Good, Fans who haven't seen Boiling Springs in action since last year, or even since the game this year with Gaffney, are in for a surprise when they see the big white-helmeted eleven Blainey Rackley, the old Wake Forest star, sends on the field Saturday against High Point. The Baptist team is hefty from end to end and the backfield has a lot of weight as well as drive and speed. It has been coached for spectacular, flashy play because Rackley learned his football under Hank Garrity, who put Wake For est on the map, and Rackley is teaching his Boiling Springs boys the same system. Unexpected, trick passes will be mixed with straight line-driving play, and Rackley has r real line-smashing group of backc. Chetty to Cecil is the basic ground gaining aerial attack of the junior Baptists, and this boy Cecil, who will be seen on the receiving end of the passes, is quite an attraction in himself. In addition to being a good end, on offense and defense, he has one of those educated toes which usually gets the extra point for the Rackley eleven. In fact, Cecil's toe licked Mars Hill college this season with about one-half minute to go rs he booted a 25-yard field goal squarely between the uprights. Plenty Of Action. Both games should be productive of action in gobs. Casey Morris will strut everything in his repertoire to get his eleven back on the winning side, while Rackley will of course attempt to show everything he has with his eleven appearing for the first time in Shelby, the town which supports his school and team more =. GRIDIRON GAB By Renn Drum A local football fan. in a com- j municalion to The Star today,, blames Shelby's long list sif foot ball defeats to a lark of fight upon ' the part of quite a number of thr l youngsters who wear the new golden jerseys. \-— It's a right serious charge he places against a big portion ot the! eleven, but in doing so he praises two or three of the boys who have continued to fight a losing light and he hopes the others wiU J'stv.p out of it.” This fan doesn't say the boys me i yellow. He doesn't even use the i nasty word despite the fact that a.j pun about town ha., it that the! new yellow jerseys might ha nr something to do with it. The fan's statement, he says, is to ‘‘wake the eleven up” before it goes through an entire season of defeat. He believes that one game won will start them going, and he wants to make them mad and about the only way they can an swer the fan’s critical statement is to show him and all the other fans here Thursday and in the remain ing games. Watch Them Thursday. Just how the boys on the eleven^’ can loaf in their tackling and block- j ing wc fail to understand in that most of them can rejnember ‘he underdog Shelby eleven which once fought the greatest Asheville high eleven off its feet and won, and then on the following year kept blocking Charlotte punts and smear ing Charlotte plays until it licked Charlotte's greatest team. The boys on the present eleven should re member that it is up to them to uphold the record of those famous Shelby elevens. Somehow this de partment believes they will do it Thursday. If the charge this fun hurls at them docs not make them fight, then there will be those who will have to agree with him. Saturday’s Game. ..Take our word for it and see that Boiling Springs-High Point ila«li at the Shelby park Saturday. It should be one of the best grid games ever seen here, and by that. If you <-are to go, we mean that Raekley's Bap tist boys are going to win. Last year Oak Ridge, king of foot ball teams out of the college class in North Carolina, ran away with this county's Junior college eleven But this year when Blaincy RiO'k ley, the old Wake Forest star, left for the Cadet clash at Winston he was very positive that there woo'd not be a one-sided score. And ar it was Oak Ridge won by a break and two points—the closest game given the Cadets reports say, in three years. The Winston-Salem Journal credited the fleet-footed Boncy and the charging Stroud with being the best backs ever seen in action there not to be on a major college team. And for the benefit cf the yo-.vo boys who do not go in for football there are as many good-looking girls at Boiling Springs as there are good football players, and they'll all be on hand Saturday raising whoo pee lor the team. Wake Forest Champions Last week Grid Gab proved by comparative scores' that Davidson had the football world by the nape of the neck and was twirling it, but this stanza is for the fellows who j secured their philosophy and what- j not at Wake Forest. Listen close- ! ly. Wake Forest licked Davidson. Davidson beat Citadel, Citadel downed Oglethorpe, Oglethorpe trimmed Georgia. Georgia shutout Yale. Yale ran away with Army— and if the Army didn’t win the war, who did, and where does that place the Demon Deacons? Helps Educate Youth. New York—Titc faith of Floyd L.

Shelby High Eleven Shy On Fighting Qualities, Says Fan Fan Says Team Well-Coached And Heavy Enough, But Is Not Scrapping. What is wrong with tlie Shelby high football eleven? That question has been passed to j and fro about Shelby for over -a I month as the local eleven has taken I more lickings than was ever ten i dcred a team in Shelby jerseys. A local fan, who has followed the eleven from game to game and has always watched every Shelby high game he could get to. in a sport letter makes a charge against the team which should cither make the golden-jerseyed lads fight their hearts out here Thursday, or lose another game just as this fan says they have lost five in a row. "The present Shelby eleven." he writes, “considering that it was very green at the first of the year is one of the best coached Shelby teams I've ever watched. Worried by two defeats I know that Coaches Mor ris and Palls have worked overtime to show and teach those boys foot ball. And it isn’t any little team, no matter what you say. That line is one of the two largest Shelby has ever had. Ills Charge. “If they’re well-coached, if they're hefty, and if they’re speedy, and they're all that, then what’s wrong? I'll tell you: They're not scrapping. They haven’t shown that fighting spirit, which is known by another name on the gridirdn. They may not be that way naturally and it may be: because mest of them are new to j football and do not realize that it's a game where every inch must be scrapped for. Anyway, they're not scrapping. If they had been, at least two of the games lost would have! been won. But that's not what gets my goat. Shelby football ejevens, up; until this year, were known and' feared all over the state. Shelby for years has been booked by the big gest, schools. Asheville, Charlotte, and so on, and those elevens always considered the Shelby game with their major contests such as Tech high. Columbia, and Knoxville. Not because Shelby had the habit of winning, but because Charlotte and Asheville fans as well as players and coaches knew for a fact that there I--—- - 1 ■■■ .. .; i would be a scran every time Shelby | came to town even if the Cleveland I boys were outweighed and were the I underdogs. A fellow always felt I proud after one of those games, for ! win or lose the feature of the game ; was the Shelby scrap. But this year something is lacking. The big | elevens are already relegating us to | the small school class; Shelby Is j just another of those *o-so football | schools. And 1 can't see why. The i boys could hav e won every game but | (lie Charlotte game, nnd they could j have held that score down. "I'm writing this to The Star mainly for the benefit of those boys on the team and their coach Two or three of the lads have fought [nobly this year; they've carried the lond all alone, . . almost. In the Hickory game one of the boys was hurt and had to be taken out. He came out crying, and his Injuries did not bring the tears: he couldn't get the idea why he and one or two others had to put up what fight there was. Just to be frank about it., some of the boys on the eleven are not ‘putting out.' There are sev eral games on the schedule yet, they may redeem themselves, and they might start against Mt. Holly Thursday. They have the stuff and can do it, IP they will. Shelby is going to write a label on the eleven after Thursday's game And it's up to the boys to show Thursday just what that label will be, I hope It’s something different from what It would be for games gone by. I be lieve it will.” That's a pretty stiff challenge to the Motrismen—one that should make them a scrapping bunch of terrors Thursday. flood For 'Em, Eh? New York,—The Right Rev. Fraivk Theodore Woods, lord bishop of Winchester. England, is not sorry that the big break in stocks caused distress to innocent persons if "it has administered a severe blow to that gambling spirit which attempts to get something for nothing, to ob tain larger profits at the ruin of others.'* He preached at Grace Protestant Episcopal church.

Reporter Visits Standard Refinery Motor Furl Being Manufactured By New Process Under Very Heated Temperatures. Some of the most carefully guard ed areas throughout the past year have been the 2.850 acres compris ing the greaf refineries of the Standard Oil company of New Jer sey. Guards patrolled the gates be tween high barbed wire fences. Every visitor to the plants wa“. carefully questioned. Photographers and newspaper reporters could gc' : no further than the main offlc" j But lust before the Standard Oil of j j ficlals were ready to divulge their | plans, one reporter did manage to elude the guards at the Bay way. N J. riant. He found that three giant-slued double units of cracking coils had been erected there and that, alreaoy a new processed “Standard'’ gaso line was being refined and releas ed to selected localities for practical experimental purposes. rhe gasoline is manufactured by forcing heavy oil through a fire box with high pressure pumps. The oil, heated to a vol vanic-temperature, passes from the coils to a “soaking drum," in which the “cracking" reaction takes place,! and then into other drums where the heavier oils, kerosenes, and teis are entirely separated from the ! gasoline. The result Is an entirely pure, higher-test gasoline, which may be ; sold at no advance in price because this new process extracts a greater amount of gasoline from the exude oil. The new coils give a higher yield of gasoline stocks than the old. have a much greater capacity, ' and make possible the manufacture j of many intermediate by-products. | Prom a laboratory standpoint It had already been proved That thi-l new-processed gasoline gave st\ • distinct advantages to motor cpv- i The proving cars at the "Standard testing grounds hRd been running on this gasoline for months. But it was decided not to sell this new processed gasoline to the public un til performance reports came in from actual users.
