SHELBY BACKING LOCAL
BOYS TO LICK ASHEVlLLE
George Blanton. Banker of That
Town. Writes J. c. Skies That
He Thinks Monroe Can Do Ii
NO REASON WHY LINE CAN'T
HOLD FAMOUS CHACKLES

Shelby is with Monroe and expects
the local boys to win over Asheville,
according to letter received by Mr..
John c. Skies from his friend, Mr..
George Blanton, a Shelby banker. He
thinks that since Shelby held the fa-
nous Chackles last year that Mon
roe, by playing an offensive game,
can trim the Asheville boys by COM
Portable score.
The letter was turned over to
George Beasley, Jr, captain of the
Monroe team, by Mr.. Skies with the
following comment: "As captain of
the football team, | am handing you
a letter just received from George
Blanton of Shelby that is self-expla-
natory. just wanted you to know
that Shelby is anxious for Monroe to
win the game Saturday. | hope that
you have got Strengthened out and
that the team is over the struggle
with Shelby sufficiently enough to
put pep in the Salisbury game to
beat Asheville. Monroe is depending
on YOU"
Mr.. Blanton's letter reads:
Dear John: | thought | would
write you a few lines in regard to
our athletic contest in football
From comparative scores it seems
that Asheville would have the ad-
vantage of Monroe. In reality, | be-
lieve Monroe can win if she will
fight and hold her morale. | would
not minimize the danger from Chack-
les. He is wonderful player. Few
teams can hold him, however, Shell
by held him last year most of the
time, though he made a great many
gains on our team but we have
much better team this year than we
had last year. There is no reason in
my mind why Monroe's line should
not hold Chackles at all times if they
will stay in the game. | believe that
if Monroe will play an offensive game
using the delayed passes, forward
passes and end runs that she will
win. Go in the game for Asheville
to make points but let Monroe make
more points.
81 do not mean this as any criti-
cism on your management, as | feel
sure that they do not need it. | am
just giving you my opinion as saw
the Asheville team last year and
your team this year. Shelby. is with
you and expects to see you win.
with very best wishes.
"Nours very truly
George Blan.on."

HE EXPECTS MONROE TO
WIN OVER ASHEvILLE
Monroe Physician Isn't Worrying
About the Greek-He Says Mack
and Wick Are Wrestlers, Too
DISTANCE But FIFTY-FIvE
MILES BY WAY Dr. CONCORD

Not less than FIVE hundred support
ers OF the local football team should
make the trip to Salisbury tomorrow
to root for Mack. Yates. Jada. o. c.,
Wigs and all. DR.. H. ID. Stewart
writes. "You will see a great fight.''
he adds. ''as good as any college
game" II is only 20 miles by
Albemarle or by Charlotte and 55 by
Concord. he finds.
DR.. Stewart is the champion pep
artist when It comes to boosting the
high team. He has kept the local
papers full of cheer for the home
boys in their scrap for the champion
ship. His last communication, which
is given below, is the very essence
of confidence and optimism over
the outcome.
Fall on those fumbles.
Block those kicks and passes.
stop that Greek. Keep up with
the ball and get your man.
"The defense seems to depend up
on four things: /. Blocking or inter-
cepting forward passes before they
are completed: 2. Holding the line
against plunges or penetrations: 3.
Stopping those backs from end runs
or. line penetrations: 4. Blocking
kicks.
The offensive seems to depend on
five things: /. Executing and COM
pleting passes quickly and accurate
ly; 2. Going through the enemy's
line for gains; 3. Running around
the ends. This requires speed and
interference; 4. Fine punting and
goal-kicking; 5. Bewildering plays
and trick plays.
Don't wait for the other man to
get him-get him yourself, everyone
of you.
Keep the enemy out of your
territory.
They say that boy Wigs Is as
strong as mule. And o. c. is so
strong in the arms and shoulders
that he nearly hurts the ground when
he throws player. They say the
Greek Is a wrestler. So are Mack
and Wick.
IF you want to see the best foot
ball game you have ever seen. go to
Salisbury Saturday. The Monroe
boys are in fine shape. and will fight
all the way through without weaken
ing"

with keen eye for thrills by Ber-

So fast does the action move that
one has a hard time keeping up with
the thrills. When the play was first

thrill, one dare devil stunt after an
other, until the audience gasps.
Charles Jones, who plays the role Of
the hero, Walter West, claims that
he has no nerves, and this picture
will surely uphold that statement.
II is a melodrama pure and simple,
but remarkably. well done. Of course,

POU EXPRESSES KEEN
PLEASURE AT CONDUCT
Action of Marshville Man Starts Talk
OF a Pardon For Him in
the Early Future
MANY NOW THINK I5-YEAR
SENTENCE WAS TOO HARSH

Raleigh, Nov. 30.-Lee Hail.
man of Marshville, serving a
flfteen-year sentence in the
State prison and stationed as a
trusty at Mount Holly, yester-
day notified George Ross Pou,
Superintendent of the State
Prison, that he had identified
and effected the arrest of Thom-
as johnson, a negro life-termer
who escaped from the prison on
September 10.
According to the details
that were received by Superin-
tendent Pou, Hallman, who
knew the Johnson negro, saw
him at Mount Holly and secured
his arrest.
Mr.. Pou expressed keen pleas
ure at the conduct of young
Hallman, who though he has
served only six months of his
fifteen year sentence, has been
made trusty. Hallman saw
service with the American Ex-
peditionary Forces in France.
Johnson was sentenced to
serve a life term for burglary
committed in Rowan county.
Young Hallman's Identification of
the negro life-termer and his part
in effecting the arrest was hailed
with satisfaction here yesterday by
his attorneys and friends, many Of
whom entertain hopes of securing
for him pardon in the early future.
His action, they say, together with
the growing sentiment in the county
that the 15-year sentence imposed
upon was, too harsh in view of GER.
tain developments during and after
his trial, considerably enhance his
chance of being freed with a year or
two.
A few months ago it was reported
that Hallman, while at work near Mt.
Holly, had his foot SO badly injured
by falling rock that amputation was
necessary. The Sunday following the
circulation of this report, Sheriff
Clifford Fowler, together with num-
Der of people from Marshville, went
to Mt. Holly to visit Halman. The
report, they ascertained, was untrue,
Hallman having become confused
with some other prisoner. Even then
it was reported around the camp at
Mt. Holly that the Marshville man
was to be made trusty, though he
had not been in servitude but few
months.
Judge Walter +. Brock, who pros
ecuted him while solicitor of this dis
trict, upon hearing the report of Hall
mans alleged injury, was quoted as
saying that if it proved to be true
he intended recommending his par
don to Governor Morrison on the
grounds Of being sufficiently punish
