A MARTYR TO LAW ENFORCEMENT

Joe w UlldhCl was q ~ ~ Ae' ~
forcement in Henderson county"
The words were spoken to The Times
News by one of Hendersonvile's leading
citizens; who proceeded to point out that
Whitaker was good citizen, conscien-
tious and active officer, who had made an
honest effort to do his duty and to enforce
the game laws in the territory under his
supervision He was slain by an outlaw
and, no doubt, as the direct result of his
efforts to enforce the laws.
The citizen referred to lamented the
fact that such tragedies as the killing OF
Joe Whitaker meet so much apparent IN
difference among the people of the county.
There is seemingly little reaction against
such outrages even among law-abiding citl-
zens. Of course they condemn this and all
other crimes against the laws, but their
condemnation does not crystalize in senti-
ment and action calculated to aid law en-
forcement and to make Henderson county
a more law abiding county.
The Times-News agrees with the views
of this citizen and this newspaper has of
ten spoken along this line to the people OF
the town and county.
OF course it is not expected that citizens
of the county shall actively engage, except
in limited numbers, in the work Of running
down and Furnishing the slayer of the game
warden. That is the business of officers OF
the law, cooperating with limited num-
Der Of citizens who may be called upon to
aid them. The Times-News is not making
reference to general man-hunt, to an up
rising of citizens, or anything of that ma
ture.
What we have in mind is active senti-
ment against lawlessness that leaves no
doubt about the position of any good citi-
zen; and unanimous determination on the
part of all such citizens that this crime
and other crimes shall be punished and
that this determination shall be made
clear to our own lawless group and to out
laws coming in from other sections.
Our law-abiding citizens manifest en-
tirely too much Indifference and corplac-
ency in the face of conditions which have
been steadily growing worse. e" '''+'
This body of citizens appreciated Joe
Whitaker as faithful and efficient officer
and every individual deeply regrets the
tragedy which removed him by violence
from our midst, but The Times-News re-
grets that it has observed no reaction to
this killing which indicates the building up
of sentiment in the county which may
serve to aid law enforcement and to bring
about conditions in the future which vii
prevent such tragedies as the murder OF
Whitaker.
Crime must be punished, we assert, but
we do not say it in way-and back the
assertion by our actions, in a manner ttc
convince law breakers. What we Should be
primarily interested in is the prevention Of
crime and all good citizens should be &C
tive at all times in bringing about condi
tons which will be somewhat of suaran
tee against lawless conditions.
The law abiding citizens of Henderson
county, constituting an Overwhelming ma
jority of the population; should make the
county so unpleasant and unhealthy fol-
the .lawless minority that ultimately crime
conditions may be greatly improved.

Sunday, zeher played a leading
role.
Sundays game will mark Barry's
first appearance here in foot
ball uniform in four years, but
he has not lost any Of his old

by his brilliant performance as
the Washington Pros and Balti-
more Orioles battled to a scoreless
tie Sunday.
Playing it's first game under
the direction Of Gene Augusterfer,
the Pros seemed to have more
spirit and better cohesion than in
their previous games when they
tied the Arrows. Besides Murray
Kanner'S attempted placement
kick from the 3O-yard line, which
would have given the Pros vic
tory over Richmond, was so close

To Play In
BaCkfie|d

Maryland is mastering it's shat
tered football forces for the game
with the Richmond Spiders in the
Virginia capital Saturday, but is
certain to go into the contest great
ly shy # its full power.
The TerpS went into the game
with Florida with three "one-
legged" men in the backfield and
came out of the clash it lost, to 6,
with the casualty list increased.
Bill Guckeyson, with pulled groin
muscle, and Jim Meade and Cole
man Headley with bad knees,
Marylend's three best offensive
backs, were far from tops starting
the Gator battle and only the last
named came out in as good shape
aS he went in.
Guckeyson played only a little
more than quarter when forced
out by accentuating the groin
muscle injury while Meade got
second bad knee and neither
should see &C against the Spi-
ders this weekend. Headley, with
q rest this week, should be better
by Saturday than he was last week.
Blair Smith, rangy regular end,
has been last for two weeks or
more, suffering two cracked ribs in
being thrown after catching pass
in the Florida game. Otherwise
all the linemen who began against
the Gators should be ready to start
against Richmond. John McCar-
thy, a big. rangy wingman, will
take Smiths place.
Ba,xs Offer Problem
However, it is the backfield for
Saturdays tilt that offers ire
mendous problem for Coach Frank
Dobson. He'll have CT lie Ellin-
ger, his smart, hard-fighting quar-
terback, and John Gormley, ace
blocker and defensive player, but
he'll have to give lot Of time and
thought to the two halfback berths.
Charlie Weidinger. a Soph who
is a fine pasSer and runner, and
Waverly Wheeler, a junior, doubt
less will be called upon. Weidinger
did some clever work in reserve
role against Florida.
It is seldom that a team gains
367 yards in running and passing
to it's rivals 161 and loses a foot
ball game, 7 to 6. That is just what
befell Maryland in its battle with
Florida in Gainesville last week.
The Terps picked up l18 yards in
running rlays, 153 in forward
passes, and 96 in laterals to have a
20O-yard edge on the Gators. Flor
ida ran SO yards from scrimmage,
forward passed for 80 yards and
gained "a yards on the only lateral
it made good.
Slowed by Injuries
Bill Guckeyson twice, and Cole
man Headley and Jim Meade once
each, were in the clear but were so
slowed by leg injuries that they
were Taught by men they ordin-
arily could easily outrun.
Figures on the Florida game be-
speak the value of Bill Guckeyson
to the Maryland football team.
During the 20 minutes he was
in the game, before being forced
out by a renewal of a muscle injury
in his groin, he ran 95 yards on 10
plays, passed to Vic Willis for 81
yards and intercepted a Florida
pass when the latter was threa&en-
ing.
He gained 54 yards on Mary
lands touchdown march and his
pass to Willis came during the
scoring drive. He toted the ball
the last four yards for the counter.
He was forced out on a play a
few minutes later after running
80 yards to put the ball in Florida
territory and appeared certain to
go all the way to a score when his
leg gave.
