CATS, COMING
FROM BEHIND
BEAT BREVARD
Lift Armistice Game Here
1912; Quarles, McCray
Blake, Bates Star

Coming from behind twice, the
Hendersonville High 'Bearcats
scored in the final seconds of play
yesterday afternoon to defeat Bre-
ward High 19 to IL.
Brevard started rolling early in
the first period and drove 81
yards, mainly on power plays to
score early in the second quarter.
With Ashworth gaining consistent
ly the visitors pushed the Cats l l.
yard line where they were stopped
for three plays but league passed
to Ashworth on the 1-yard line
and Ashworth went over on the
first running play. A pass for the
extra point missed fire.
The Cats came back with rush
to tie the score. After the kick
off Quarles quick-kicked to the
Brevard 30-yard lire where Bates
dropped league in his tracks. Two
running plays lost 8 yards for
Brevard and league punted to the
Cat 45-yard line where Quarles
took the kick, started to the
right and reversed the ball to Bert
Miller who took out down the left
side of the field and crossed the
goal line on his 55-yard jaunt
without being touched. The entire
Brevard team was pulled to the
right and the Cats blocked out
every possible tackler as Miller
easily outdistanced the field.
The try for point was blocked
and Quarles picked up the ball
and tried to run it over but missed
by inches.
Brevard scored again in the sec
ond period after Ashworth had in
tercepted a pass on the 45-yard
line and run to the Cats 19-yard
line where Quarles stopped him.
Again the Brevard running attack
was stopped but a pass to Ash
worth netted first down and Ash
worth went over. The try for
point was no good.
Shortly after the third period
opened league punted to the
Hendersonville 22-yard line and
Quarles returned to the 29. NC
Crary and Quarles picked up a
first down. A penalty set the
Cats back but Quarles passed to
McCrary and added first down
and then passed to Drake and VIC,
Crary for another on the 29-yard
line. A running pass to DRAKE
over the goal line brought the
second touchdown and the extra
! point failed to bring the score 10
12-all.
With both teams trying to score
Ashworth produced the last bre-
ward threat with 35-yard run TO
the Cat 25 and Brevard pusnleo
on down to the Cat 12-yard line
but three running plays failed TO
gain, a pass grounded to the emo
zone and the locals took over on
their own 20-yard line.

BOGOTA, Colombia. May 5-Edu-

His friendly reproof was delivered

President Santos. who was unop-

Benefit Seen From Unions.
But he said that strong unions in
Latin American countries, creating
greater purchasing power and new
markets for manufacturers, will bene-

the exploitation of Latin American
natural resources with the cheap labor
provided by dictators.

If the cost is oppression and die

For example, although there are
exceptions, American industrialists

the cruel and oppressive regime of

because Gomez has outlawed labor
