Shelby Defeated 33-0 In Initial Football Tussle Hickory Tornadoes Too Strong for Locals: Smith's Tunting Is Redeeming Feature Too much Hickory led the Shelby high school football team to a 33-0 dofrat fYiday afternoon in the first game of the season for both schools. Five touchdowns and three extra points were made in the last three quarters by the charging backficld mru after Shelby had held the Tor nado to even terms the first session and had held them for downs on the one-yard line. Hickory Hits Hard Although the score was decidedly in favor of Hickory, Shelby's line play was almost up to par with the more experienced boys, but fell far short on blocking and ball carrying. The Tornadoes were heavier and more seasoned than Shelby's rep resentatives. Ointy Smith’s punting was one of the features of the game, as the stocky halfback got off several 40-yard kicks during the afternoon. Teeter, Beck. Abernathy and Cline made some well-executed long runs during the game, Teeter traversing almost the entire field for 80 yards and a touchdown. Gets Penalties Hickory was penalized 30 yards for holding; Shelby lost five on extra time-outs. There were com paratively few injuries for a first game. The winners made 12 first downs, Shelby five, and strangely enough, all five were on forward passes. Blanks Oashion and Smith did most of the tossing. Fluffy Watts and Thompson, Hickory guard, were taken from the game the first of the third quarter for personal contact and the Shelby backfield sadly missed his heavy drives. The Scoring The first quarter and almost all of the second breezed along like a good football game until a fumble by Shelby allowed Hickory to get possession of the ball and Beck, full back. went through left tackle for the first score and flipped a pass to Kanupp, end, for the point. Teeter made the second score by his sensational 80-yard run after re ceiving Smith’s 40-yard punt. Beck scored the third time on an Intercepted pass and two subs, Cline and Abernathy, scored In the fourth quarter, as the Shelby forward wall g»ve way to strong Hickory reserves.

"Third, in order to put through the whole program, the county may put up 45 per cent of the cost of the high school building; the local community the 55 per cent. “Fourth, the local district may have to assume the whole responsibility.

Rated as one of the biggest achievements would be the record of Tommy Bridges, Detroit's famous "iron man” in the pitcher’s box has won 21 games and lost nine for the Tigers this year, helping the club to Its league championship and winning the right to try to lick the Chicago Cubs lri^the World Series which begins Wednesday. Tommy is a county lad, a native of the Boiling Springs area and who has many relatives there now. He lists his home now as Qordonson ville, Tenn., where he spends quite a little time when he is not at work for the majors and his career. Closer home, football fans were delighted lo see Shelby coming to the front again as Helds young, jr., took (lie field with Davidson’s first team which held State college to a couple of touchdowns and put one over themselves.

Diving .Bell For Firemen Given First Successful Demonstration Down, down, down! Ten, twenty a nd even 35 feet into the deepest part of PinevieiK lake with adequate equipment to see objects on the bot tom and to be able to stay from live minutes to half an hour is the ! object of members of Shelby's en terprising fire department. The first successful experimental test of an amateur diving bell, fully equipped with air pressure regula tor, fresh supply of oxygen and with telephonic connection from the diver to the surface, was made yesterday by Clyde Wilson, of Shel by. inventor of the apparatus, in charge. A few preliminary experiments have been made from time to time by members of the local department i who conceived the idea of con structing a diving bell after six per sons in Cleveland county have lost their lives by drowning this year. They feel that If such a piece ot equipment is in hand, it is very like ly they may be able to rescue a body fihm less than 40 feet of water at, some future time. - The apparatus is simple, but atte nuate. The bell part is made from the upper part of a tank cut to fit over the head and shoulders and | padded for the diver to carry. On (the sholders are a number of valves for equalizing water and air pres sure, and hose connections to the surface. Eighty pounds of lead are bolted I to the bell to enable the diver to l remain on the bottom. Mr. Wilson, who is quite a tech nician has constructed a number o! juseful features for the instrument. | A secondary tank keeps from 20 tc i 100 pounds of air pressure available. 'A coil box and two transmitters •furnish the communication, i Making successful trips to the i bottom of the lake yesterday were Buck Coble, Red Lankford. Chief McDowell, and Tom Harris. A j number of other firemen aided with surface work. j From time to time members of the crew will do other work on the •apparatus and expect, to have it in j perfect working order by next ; spring. . Two Kinds Of Hunters Listed As Season For Renard Opens The first, cool nights of early au ! tuirin always bring a revival of that ' grand old American sport—fox hunting—and this fail is no ex ception. Meetings are being scheduled in many states and hounds have eclip sed the weather as a subject of dis- j mission wherever devotees of the chase assemble. There are two schools of fo hunters in America. One conform; to the English style, with its red ! coats, fine horses and field courtes ies. The other 99 per cent wear any ! thing, they possess, cuss when they feel like it, hie themselves to a ridge in the night-time and "listen to the music." The folks in the fancy get-up have formal hiuit breakfasts, stir rup cups, and they follow the I hounds during the day. The others eat a hearty supper, grab a jug. and go to the field and wood after dark. It's great sport either way. There’s something mighty sweet about the baying of a fox-hound, or (he full throated melody of the .pack on a hot trail. And the pur sued, if he be a wise old dog-fox. lias just as much fun as the pursu ers. | Sly Reynard will run atop a rail fence wade or swim water courses double and redouble and try all his tricks In an effort to confuse the dogs. If hard pressed, he'll take cover. Then he's safe, I Contrary to popular belief. the >fox is seldom, if ever, lulled. Some intes the hounds may get one. but ot often, as the sharp-nosed deni en of the countryside usually nows a hole or den where "he can . rke refuge in a hurry. The brethren consider it bad arm to take a fox — they need 'em • the fun of the chase. Fox hunters take great pride in ’heir hounds and their breeding Most, of then h \c the hr t [lye I’icnr can iw< Many at: .•}->.'• on ^conduct bench xijows during then , regular meetings.

There is a story going the round - about a fox hunter of the rough and-ready school who visited Eng land and was invited to ride to c 'famous pack in the shires. Anxious to acquit himself with dignity in the presence of his host he appeared in all the gay trapping and took the jumps with the best of the Britons. However, to assure himself that he had followed all the rules of the chase, he questioned one of the hunt servants.

From The Sports Box Hail to the progress of sports in Cleveland county in the past, 10. | 20, 50—96 years—since it first be came a county, and even before that ’ time when few people had time to play, according to the standards we now call play! We take time today to pause and recall or review and ap praise in this historical edition just a brief sketch of some changes that have been made in the recreational life of the people of this county. A dozen well-built “tin cans" or gymnasia at as many high schools in the country take the eye at the first glance; the $15,000 Clevecloth base ball park, a new ball park grounds at Kings Mountain, and athletic fields of all descriptions over the country, the race track at the fair, a skeet gallery, and numerous well ligthed tennis courts for either night or day playing are bold headlines telling that the county is making way for better health and stronger competition in a varied line of sports. Time was when those things were unheard of. People didn’t even play baseball, basketball or football, but unraveled the worn out socks of dad and the big boys and made a yarn ball to use in playing “round-cat,” and other games. Tennis and golf were still to be invented so far as the early settlers were concerned, and a night bail game would have been a miracle. This is not saying they didn't have a lot of fun—they did. Perhaps as much real fun as fans do now. However, crowds were not so large. There was footracing, high and broad jumps, rope-pulling, rail splitting, and barn-raising. Then | there were the corn-shucking con | tests, heavy-set and other games | of strength. Boys would chase the '"fox” and run another fellow for ; miles through the woods and over | the fields. I Most of the games many years : ago were of a nature to require jstrength aiwl endurance, and now i they require skill, experience and speed. • ——--—— A long gun and a gang of hound dogs was one of the chief sports many years ago. It still is for that matter, although game in the county has shown quite a decline with the fading of timbered lands. We knew of one old hunter who wore a coonskin cap and carried a muz zle loader, and who disdained to bring in a squirrel shot behind (he ears, so keen an eye did he I have, and so true his aim. I Pishing, thrashing birds, trapping, ,and all kinds of hunting took much of the place the modern sports of skating, tennis, basketball, baseball and football and other outdoor amusements we now have. * • • * I Both conditions have their advan tages and disadvantages. Time was ,when spirit at contests ran so high chat fights, really tough encounters, were seen at almost every occasion. Losing was hard. Now people win and lose so frequently and see so i much of each other that, in our I opinion, a much cleaner brand of I sportsmanship is displayed. * * * I This county has always been a j leader in producing sports leaders land stars in other places. The clean, I wholesome mode of living and the comparatively few temptations to dissipate have produced real men. The county furnished sev eral men on Wake Forest, Old Trinity, Davidson and the Uni versity’s athletic teams from the nineties on down to now. And they are still growing up here. It has been only a short time since Shelby led the state in football and baseball, and the Conference in basketball, and these county high schools have teams each year that make the state cage officials take notice. It is highly modern now. Even the girls are in it, and 50 years ago. •mast of the girls were afraid to go jin bathing. Now they play every* thing to be played and do a splen did-job of it. Some of the best en tertainment of a whole season is to see the lassies in' their trim uni forms flashing up and down thy •scene of contest, showing an un believeable amount of skill. Coaches know more, they have seen more, experiences are. broader, and mean a lot to a team. The old-timers were good, plenty good, but here's a salute ’ to the hundreds of younger sportsmen and athletes in the county now. More power to you as you play hard, work hard, build strong bodies to house keen minds. Vse ail the equipment available. Absorb all the coaches/tell you, and have a good time In It all, A little pep ami away, Dusty, with tills copy. Catches Big Fish.
