Boiling Springs Wins Junior
College Title; Deacons Beat \
Presbyterians; Carolina Wins
Wall And Jolley
Lead Rackleyites
To Junior Tide
Center And Quarterback Star For
Boiling Sortngs In 6-0
‘ Win.
Asheville, Nov. 28.—Bolling Springs
Junior dbiege yesterday afternoon
won the North Carolina Junior col
legiate football championship by
vanquiching Weaver college, 6-0, on
Asheville Memorial stadium’s frozen
turf before a band of several hun
dred onlookers. A biting wind raked
the frigid gridiron throughout the
fumblesome encounter.
Pass Yields Score.
Boney, Boiling Springs halfback,
snagged a seven-yard pass from
Quarterback Zeno Wall and raced
25 yards over Weaver's goal line in
the first quarter to give his eleven
the championship.
An old-fashioned "lay-out” pass
on the third offensive play of the
Invaders took Weaver by surprise
and netted the Rackley machine a
score of precious yards. The Boiling
Springs club had played once from
scrimmage when a red-Jersey sneak- j
ed off to the opposite side of the
gridiron and took a pass unmolest
ed. The receiver waltzed across the
goal, only to be called back to the
30-yard stripe where he had step
ped out of hounds.
Placement Smeared.
An erratic punt by Jackson. Wea
ver halfback, paved the way for the
only score of the contest. Tech’s
forward wall halted a Bollfhg
Springs drive on the Weaver 15
yard strip and Jackson kicked out
of bounds on the 35-yard marker.
Stroud ripped two yards off tackle;
Boney gained three around right
end, and the touchdown play fol
lowed. Wall’s attempt for a place
ment was smeared by Barden, Wea
ver center.
A sunsutute toacK lor me uoiaen
Tornado, Atwell, led his team’s at
tack, ably assisted by Simpson, both
of whom slashed off a good amount
of yardage through the Boiling
Springs forward wall. Neither of
these boys, however, were able to
piece the visitors’ secondary de
fense, and Weaver failed to drive
Inside the enemy’s 25-yard strip on
offensive thrusts.
Boiling Springs owes credit for its
victory to Jolley, 17-year-old certer,
who repeated broke through Wea
ver's line to smear Tornado plays.
Zeno Wall, tricky quarterback, seem
ed to borrow the snake hips of his
illustrious coach, Blainey Rackley,
lor the contest, feinting in and nit
among the Tech tacklers at will.
Stroud and Boney also proved good
ground gainers
Fumble Is Costly.
Weaver got a lucky break during
the second period when Wall boot
ed a bad kick out of bounds on his
own 35-yard line, but Flinton fum
bled the pigskin on the third play
for a Boiling Springs recovery.
Simpson gave a beautiful exhibition
of punting when on three occasions,
he booted the ball out of bounds
inside the Cleveland county team's
10-yard line.
Coached Baker’s eleven stormed
onto the field after intermission and
returned the kickoff 45 yards to its
opponents’ 30-yard line, but an in
tercepted paes halted the drive. A
few plays later Weaver again drove

Those who celebrated did ao
very mildly, as only six or eight
arrests were made in the coun

ed having taken on too much
spirits for the occasion.

Cleaners End
Price War Here
Five C'leauers Agree On Cash And
Carry >rices. Three of Deliv
ery Service.
A truce has been reached between
the dry cleaners of Shelby, thus
ending a price war which has been
raging for six months or longer.
New prices are announced that art
somewhat of a compromise between
the wan ing elements, the cash and
carry prices being raised, for in
stance on mens suits cleaned and
pressed, from 50c to 65c. Men’s suits,
pressing only, under the new agree
ment are set at 35c. Other prices are
In proportion.
Five Cleaners Agree.
Five dry cleaning plants have
signed the trace agreement and ef
fective Monday, December 1, will
adhere to uniform prices; the
Whiteway Dry Cleaning, Shelby Dry
Cleaning, Beck and Pratt‘, Quality
Cleaners and Shelby Tailor shop.
These five will continue, however,
to collect and deliver garments—the
Whitewav, Shelby Dry Cleaning and
Beck and Pratt, but there Is an ex
tra charge for this delivery service.
Men’s suits will be called for, dry
cleaned and pressed and delivered
for 90c but the terms are cash on
delivery. Men’s suits are pressed
under this delivery schedule for 50c
Therefore, all five dry cleaners
are on a cash basis to everybody and
a customer can receive the bene
fit of the cheaper prices from three
cleaners if he wishes to do his own
"toting'’ of garments to and from
the pressers. He may phone one of
the three who waintain a delivery
sendee and “pay the freight” which
ranges from 15c to 25c per gar
ment.
