Mountain Lions
To Play Biriom
The Undefeated Orphanage
Eleven Will Tackle Lions
Here Friday Night
An epidemic of colds bowled
over the first string line ot the
North Wilkeeboro Mountain Li
ons early this week to hamper
their chances against Barium
Springs here Friday night, but
conditions today were more
promising and it appeared that
most or all the varsity players
will be ready to tackle the strong
Barium Springs eleven.
The squad emerged from their
thrilling 7-7 tie with Spencer
Friday night without serious in
jury but during the week-end
Church, Shook, Porter, Hudson,
Steelman, and Stoker had severe
colds.
Barium Springs is one of the
strongest teams in * the South
Piedmont conference . and is un
defeated in conference play. The
team from the orphanage insti
tution is always good and this
year is no exception.
Kickoff time Friday night will
be eight o'clock and the game
will be broadcast over station
WILiX. The contest should draw
the largest crowd of the season.
Spectators will be glad to know
that they will have seats for the
Friday night game.
Coach Howard Bowers praised
the play of his team Friday night.
Davis and Caudill looked good at
fullback and defensive play.
Shook played a wonderful game
at tackle and Steelman was es
pecially good at end.
A win for the Mountain Lions
Friday night against Barium
Springs would certainly put
North Wllkesboro on the foot
ball map and if the boys recov
er from colds and get in condi
tion for the contest they will
have a good chance to upset the
favored Barium team.

Ramblers to Play
Jonesville Here
Wilkesboro To Take On
Jonesville Under Lights
On Saturday Night
Wilkesboro Ramblers will play
Jonesville high school's big team
under the lights at Memorial
Park Saturday night. The kick
off will be at eight o'clock.
Wilkesboro had an open date
this week, and so did Jonesville,
and the game for Saturday night
was arranged Monday to com
plete the schedule of both teams.
The teams will meet again on
their regularly scheduled date
October 31 at Jonesville or under
the lights at Elkin.
Coach Eddie Adelman found
many of his boys injured follow
ing the 32-13 rout of Cleveland
Friday. Johnnie Glass, fullback,
has a bad shoulder injury and
may not play. Pete Glass, guard,
has a dislocated knee and is defi
nitely out for Saturday's game.
Whittington, quarterback, has an
arm injury and may see limited,
if any, action. Garwood, quarter
back replacement, is also hurt.
Prevette, shifted from tackle,
and Linney, second string wing
back, have been running at the
fullback spot in practice this
week and are showing up well.
Jonesville will be the biggest
team to date for the light Wil
kesboro squad. Jonesville has
two tackles over 200 each and
a 200-pound fullback. Last week
Jonesville pasted a 20 to 0 de
feat on Mocksville and appears
to be a greatly improved team.
Saturday night's game will be
a battle of two "T's". Both teams
are using the "T" formation as
prescribed by Coach Plucie Ste
wart at Appalachain, and the
contest should be a thriller for
spectators.
The word mess comes from the
Latin "missum," meaning sent or
placed in position, according to
the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Thus, the word came to mean
a dish sent to the table, and
eventually to describe the dining
parties into which a ship's com
pany or a regiment is divided.
Grid Conference
Results Given
iBarlum Springs, Sept. 30.—
The South Piedmont leader,
Spencer, ran into a tough oppon
ent last' Friday night in North
'Wilkesboro and managed to pull
the game up into a tie by one
of those rare breaks that you
dream about. The game was 0-0
when a ball bounced off from a
North Wilkesboro player into the
hands of a Spencer boy who ran
nearly the length of the field for
a touchdown.
The Concord and Children's
Home game was almost a jtie,
7-6, the Children's Home being
the winner. The pre-season dope
made these two teamB tops in
the conference, but Lexington is
acting up like they may have an- j
other one of those old time world
beaters. Week before last they
trounced Statesville by a big
score and last week Asheboro by
an even bigger one—61-0, if you
please. We had thought that
Statesyille was weak but the way
they handled Hickory last feeek
gives another picture—they de
feated Hickory 19-8. The other
conference game was between
Mooresville and Kannapolis with
Mooresville winning 7-0. The
other game8 out of the confer
ence beside Statesville were Al
bemarle's defeat of the Lenoir
Rhyne B team 13-0, and Bar
ium's loss to Morganton 12-0.
The Children's Home and Lex
ington are out in front in the
South Piedmont and that makes
their game this week a "natural"
—it is the big game in the South
Piedmont, and may possibly pick
the champion as the winner of
this game will be hard to head
off.
The other games are States
ville at Conoord, with Concord
favored; Kannapolis at- Spencer,
with the odda on Spencer; Thom
asville at Asheboro should be an
other defeat for Asheboro; Bar
ium at North Wilkesboro is any
body's game—North Wilkesboro
after a slow start is proving her
self to be one of the strong
teams in the conference while
Barium-'s defeat by Morganton |
« •
shows her to be a little stronger
than 1946 but not very much,
