A Fine Football Spirit
(Gastonia Gazette Editorial.)
It is in order to say that the Shelby high school foot
ball team playing here yesterday was one of the best
teams that had been seen here this season. Furthermore,
they are to be commended for the very fine spirit of
sportsmanship displayed throughout the game. Not once
did we discern a discordant note or a kick from the Shelby
players on official decisions, which, it must bg admitted,
looked as if they were going against the visitors. Again,
the attitude of the Shelby players to the Gastonia players
was that of good will and friendliness. Titne after time, a
Shelby player, tackled hard and ferociously by a Gastonia
boy, would rise and congratulate hjs opponent on the clean
tackle. Frequently they would assist each other to get
up after having been hit.
The spirit and atmosphere of games like this are so
much more refreshing than that which has attended sonu
high school contests here that we feel it is worth men
tioning in these columns.

Tin will to win won it foot
ball game for Shelby high last
week In the season’* (Inale at
Gastonia—a game that Shelby
was doped to lose from one to
two touchdowns or more. And In
winning the Shelby eleven drew
unstinted praise from Gastonia
fans and writers for the sports
manship shown.
High school football Is « thing of
memories now for at least seven of
ihe Shelby team. Their performance
Friday was their swan song, and
what a swan song it was for Capt.
Wilson, Jimmy Shepard. John Cor
bett, Alf Eskridge, "Rad” Brown the
first, “Red" Brown the second, and
Short}»McSwain. Five or six other
’ lads played their greatest game of
the year to enable their teammates
to make their last contest one of
victory, and the entire team played
in such a manner as to w in the
applause of opposing fans by fight
ing on back to win without criti
cising the repeated breaks that were
going against them.
“One of the outstanding features
of the game,” Bill Tomlin wrote in
the Gastonia Gazette. “was the
clean playing and sportsmanship of
the Shelby bunch in the last half.'
Nine times Shelby was penalized,
not for dirty playing, but for being
off aide in their eagerness to snap in
to play. And not a single time did
a Shtlby player kick at the penalty.
Casey Morris made a goo* year of
It, Not only did he bring a mediocre
team about In such a manner that
It won Its big game of the year, but
somehow he Instilled In that team
the idea that the officials are right
nine times out of ten, Football
games are not won by fussing and
kickiug, especially when the offi
ciate instead of the ball are being
booted.
Other features of the game as
viewed by The Gastonia sport writ
er follow: “McSwaln, Shelby left
half, did g majority of the passing
and was the direct cause of the
Shelby victory’ .... McSwaln, Wil
son and Barren were shining lights
in the Shelby backfield, Wilson
making both of the touchdowns .. .
Brown, Shepard and Putnam play
ed stellar ball In the line.*'
All members of the Shelby eleven
were high in their praise of the,
play of Johnny Corbett, who per
formed at guard for half of the
game and at center lor the remain
ing half. It was Corbett's last game
and he lived up to his reputation
of being about the most dependable
line player. Next year Johnny will
go to Davidson and unless he
changes very much those Davidson
Wildcats will have something resem
bling another Thud Brock in a year
or two.
Reports have it that three
former Shelby football stars may
gallop together again next year
and for sevrral years thereafter.
Ralph Gardner. Zeno Wall and
Milky Gold, once teammates at
Shelby high, are headed for the
Carolina freshman eleven next
year—anyway, that’s the talk in
athletic circles.
Such being the case, Shelby fans |
within a few years wil be travelling
far and wide to see Carolina In ac
tion. Young Gardner, playing this
year at Woodbetry Forest, has de
veloped into one of the best center
in prep school football. He is a'
husky youngster with all manner o£
ambition and sportsmanship in him
and some day should be an out
standing performer at the school
where his dad whs a star. Of the
trio, Gold Is the most versatile. At
Shelby high he played tackle, end
halfback and fullback. At Oak j
Ridge, where he Ls captain this year,
he has played both Quarterback and |
fullback. A neat runner, a goodj
parser, and an excellent punter,!
Milky's long suit is his pass recelv-!
ing. If in his sophomore year at j
Carolina there is an abundance of j
triple threat halfbacks, he can be
readily transformed into an end j
who should go places and do things !
It was at an end berth he was piac- i
ed on the all-Southern high School
team, although he was once on the:
all-state team as fullback. However

not many college coaches will make!

Some of the critics content! that
young Wall is too light for college
play. That's all tommyrot. Size
counts on some occasions, but no*
when a player, especialy a quarter
back, has the goods. Quality, not
quantity. Is the main thing. Knute
Rockne has a 155-pound guard on
his great Notre Dame eleven. Two
of his famous Pour Horsemen did
not weigh over 160 pounds. By next
year the wiry Wall will weigh be
tween 150 and 180, and in college
games this yekr he has shown more
ability in tearing through opposing
lines than have some of the husky
hacks. When he gets into a broken
field—well, it’s just too bad. He har
a smart football head, one of the
cleverest ever seen In directing a
team in this section, according to
college and high school coaches, and
he can punt with the best of them.
Take it or leave it—if that trio
enrolls at Carolina next year, tarn
and three years f rom now the names
of Gold, Gardner and Wall will ap
pear regularly In the Carolina line
up. The same goes for whatever
school they do decide to attend. And
to top It off, we have a sneaking no
tion that by 1935 one or more of
them will make an all-Southem
team. Put that in your diary tor fu
ture reference.

That Wake Forest-Davidson
turkey day scrap in Charlotte
tomorrow should be the best
game of the year In North Car
olina. Scores of Shelby and
Cleveland county fans will leave
the birds, rabbits and turkey
dinners go hang to see the fray.
It's right amusing at that. Just a
few years ago the wire boys were
shaking their heads and saying that
Davidson and Wake Forest should
drop out of the Big Five. Carolina.
Duke and State were becoming too
powerful, they said, for the two
church schools. Well. Isn’t that too
bad Both the Baptist and the
Presbyterians wiped State off the
slate, Davidson licked Carolina.
Wake near did it. and then did tie
the great Duke eleven which licked
Navy, Kentucky and Virginia. To*
morrow's game between the two
giant ktllers is most anybody's game.
Take either team and seven points.
If you want to make money. That's
our ticket—perhaps you have other
ideas. The Deacons have the most

Rackley Team \
Can Win Title
For Juniors
Boiling; Spring;* Faces Weaver In
Asheville. Giant Killers
Play.
Grid (an* of this section will
head tomorrow for the curtain
games of the football season in
sofar as this immediate territory
is concerned. Those closing tus
sles are the Davidson-Wake For
est clash at Charlotte and the
Boiling Springs-Weaver game at
Asheville.
The junior college game will de
cide the state championship for the
.smaller institutions as both elevens
have an equal record to date. Boll
ing Springs has not been defeated
by a junior college this season, and
neither has Weaver. Both, however,
were tied by Campbell college, al
though Rackley’s Bulldogs gained
considerably more ground on the
Campbellites than Weaver did. Wea
ver will have the advantage of play
ing in home territory at Asheville,
but the Boiling Springs aggregation
has done considerably rambling this
year and the Bulldogs are not like
ly to be effected by stage fright of
a stage audience. For that matter
all the enthusiastic Boiling Springs
followers will be along the sidelines
in Asheville tomorrow afternoon.
They have a hunch that Rackley's
Rough Riders will win a champion
ship, provided young Zeno Wall’s
twinkling toes are not bothered by
powerful line. The Wildcat line
swept Carolina back but the Dea
con line hit a harder snag In Duke
yet moved It. Wake Forest lias the
best manpower and a well trained
team, thereby holding a slight edge,
but one never knows what Monk
Younger has up his sleeve. He kept
his team on the ground to beat.Car
olina right through the line. He
knows, for he Is a cunning old cod
ger, that It will be hard to go
through Pat Miller’s forward wall.
That may mean a bit of passing.
Anyway, those of you going down
should see a game which Will not
send you back to the gate mumbling
about being cheated.
Bobby Dodd, this great Tennessee
quarterback, Is the smartest foot
ball player we’ve ever seen In ac
tion. He is a coach on the field,
thinking a couple ticks ahead of the
others. He Is also famous as a pass
er and a punter. Jack McDowell
and Jim Magner are. or were, bet
ter passers. McDowell was a better
kicker, and so was Warner Mizell at
Georgia Tech—but for footbal'
brains, see that Dodd in action if
you get a chance.

"When I would get consti

"When one feels this

after I read of Black

it. I did not have the
headache any more.
"When I have the slug

carry off the poison and I

the cold weather. It will be the last
game at Bolling Springs for the
wiry quarterback, a 8helby boy, who
has developed into the greatest
gridder produced by the baby col
lege, and he has high hopes of leav
ing a record for the others to shoot
at. It will also be the last game for
Capt. Howard (Doc) Moore and
several of the other Bulldogs.
Hoover Report.
Several days ago there was a re
port that President Hoover might
witness the Junior college title go,
but such is not likely. The report
had It that the President would
come to Asheville to spend Thanks
giving with his son, who is recup
erating there, and would perhaps
take In the game. Had the report
been accurate Boiling Springs would
have played before the largest
crowd In the school’s history. As It
Is th« mountain city will In all like
lihood turn out a good crowd for the
turkey day game.
Down At Charlotte.
Standing room will be at a prem
ium in Charlotte tomorrow after
noon when North Carolina's Giant
Killers, Davidson and Wake Forest,
hook up unless a blizzard sweeps the
section. A Wake-Davldson game is
a real battle any year, but this year
there is more color to the contest
Neither team can win the state
title, although Davidson has a
chance to tie with Carolina provid
ed Carolina defeats Duke. But the
Wildcats have bgen snarling around
in the limelight since they licked
Carolina, and Pat Miller’s Demon
Deacons have been the toast of
North Carolina Baptists since they
tied the Duke eleven which de
feated Navy, Virginia, Kentucky and
VUlanova. The Wake team is one of
the best, and likely the best, since
the days of Hank Garrity. The Dea
con line Is undoubtedly the strong
est In many years. The Wildcats
[have their customary’ scrapping out
fit, and it is one of the smartest,
\ heads-up eleven the wily Monk
Younger and Tex Tilson have pro
duced. But the Wildcats will need
their cunning and their quick spin
ning plays for the Deacons are not
only powerful but trained to perfec
tion. The two backfields should offer
plenty of color. Jumping Joe Mc
Call, the Davidson flash who
matched his speed with Johnny
[Branch, Carolina's chunk of dyna
mite, may get the attention of the
big turkey day crowd, but he will
[have plenty of rivals in Eustace
Mills and Quillen, of Wake Forest,
and in Capt. Fraley, McQueen and
Brohard of his own eleven. The line
play should be more interesting
than usual. Wake Forest has a pair
of tackles as good as they make
them, and a center in Jack Parker
who is rated the best in the state
by Monk Younger, the Davidson
coach. The hero of the Wildcat line,
of course, Is none other than Thad
Brock, the little ex-captain who
played end last year but Is at guard
this year. Brock has a battling line
on each side of him, one that hasn’t
the weight of the Deacon wall, but
one that has some brilliant per
formers In Brown, a husky end, and
Buddy Gardner, the blonde center.
Down In Alabam’
The third contest that will hold
the interest of fans at a distance is
the Alabama-Georgia game at Bir
mingham. This game promises tc
be the 1930 classic of the South.
Alabama stakes her chances of go
ing to the Rose Bowl, and many be
lieve Alabama is a pretty certain
winner. But remember that Geor
gia defeated Yale, Carolina and N.
Y. D. in a row although losing to
Tulane. No eleven is a certain win
ner over that Georgia team.
The Carolina-Virginia classic isn’t
attracting so much interest this
year, and neither is the Duke-W.
and L. game. The Carolina and Duke
fans are waiting for their big game
at the hill on December 6.

Team Talked Out
Of Winning Game
News and Observer.
“I’m afraid we talked Woodberry
out of the game,” said Governor
Gardner who was back in Raleigh
after attending the dedication of the
new Woodberry Forest footfall field
and seeing the Woodberry team, on
which his son plays, loce a 13 to 1
game to Episcopal high school. Gov
ernor John Pollard was also pres
ent. “They made the Woodberry
team come out and listen to th°
dedication speeches while the high
school stayed in the dressing room.
My boy said Woodberry was talk
ed out of the game and I think
there is a lot in what he said."
But then the governor added, “I
talked only a few minutes, myself."
