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.

County Athletes Hit Spotlight !
As “LocalBoys "ReallyAre Good
Cleveland county htt the .spot
light in sports the past week-end
in a fashion hard to be duplicated
by any county of like size in this
vicinity.
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.
In the Deacoh-U. N. C. game
Max Putnam was- a strong-eon
tender, and appears to have a berth
on the team now, even over letter
men.
At Mars Hilt Mai Spangler, Jr
was with the Mountain Lions ns
they licked A S, T. C. freshmen on
which team O C. Connor is helping
punt and spiral the pigskin.
Another Shelby boy who played,
for Boiling Springs last year was
with the Appalachian varsity which
held Lenoir-Rhyne’e Mountain
Bears to a standstill and promises
to be one of the best tackles on the
team. He is Somers Collins.
A Kings Mountain youth. Hank
Wilson is kicking and running and
passing at Lees-McRae, and will
likely cause plenty of comment fn
junior college circles this year.
Likely there are others who will
be set'll in action before the year

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

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

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

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
