Smoky Mountain Conference
game last Friday night on the Andrews
field, in a game that
the Jackson County team pile up
a tremendous advantage in yardage
and firt downs, and let the
Andrews eleven cross the midXitld
stripe but once.
Smashing to 3b5 yards rushing,
the Hurricane found the going easy
out in midfield, but sputtered away

goal line.
Two big Andrews linemen, plus
tight defensive secondary, had a
great deal to do with the impotency
of the Hurricane attack in p^yterritory.
Bob Mulkey at center and
Jimmy Marr at guard, were thorns
in the Sylva running game all
flight.
The Sylva lads, led by the
sparkling running of ''Grease"
Cunningham, were able to move
the ball almost at will until they
-came within the shadow of the
Wildcat's goal post. A fumble
erased one scoring threat, two passes
fell incomplete to halt another,)
*nd at times the Andrews forward
wall rose up and smacked the Hurricane
attack back on its heels.
Fincannon, Henry and Queen
led the big Sylva forward wall,
lhat allowed very little to get by. |
Only twice were the highly touted
Andrews backs able to break loose.
Once in the first period, Parker
went for 8 yards, and in the 4th
period, Webb swept around left
end for 30 yards.

Then Bumgarner did what
he has come so near to all season?
he smashed up the middle, cut
slightly to the sidelines, and raced
45 yards to paydirt with a convoy
Of blockers going along for the
trip. The buck for extra point
was no good.
The Hurricane had to be content
with that narrow 6 point lead
for two and a half quarters as
they pushed Andrews all over the
field but couldn't move the Die
skin into paydirt.
Late in the first period Cunningham
put the apple in scoring position
again with a weaving 45 yard
dash to the Andrews 13. The Wildcat
defense held however as two
running plays and the same number
of passing attempts went for
naught.
Again in the second stanza, the
Hurricane put the ball near the
double stripe but couldn't cash in.
Hoyles sprinted 25 yards to the
Wildcat 20, but Bumgarner fumbled
and Andrews took over at
that position.
3rd Period Score
With the Wildcat defense bottling
, up Bumgarner's smashes down the
middle, the Hurricane cut Cunningham
loose for 15 yards to start
the second TD drive. Rhodes followed
with a 10 yard jaunt and
Hoyles added 10 more. Rhodes
then took the ball, swept around ,
left end, and went over standing .

the tally stood at 13 to 0.

W.C.T.C HITS "TOP OF
THE WORLD"!
Saturday night's impressive victory
over the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears
climaxes the lon? road up for the
Western Carolina Catamounts.
They've hit the "top of the world",
as any 6 year old at Cullowhee
can tell you. Serving all these
years as the doormat for the North
State, this year the Catamounts
rose up and smacked the big boys
right off their perches, and are
resting atop the pinacle themselves?giving
fair warning that
they aren't sure they want to come
down anytime soon!
It's true that Guilford has a
chance to tie the Catamounts for
the Conference title, but its unlikely,
and until we hear different
?its congratulations to the Western
Carolina Catamounts for letting
folks down in the cotton country
know that there IS something up
in "them thar hills"!
HURRICANE BLOW6 ON!
Andrews had been regarded as
a possible stumbling block in the
way of the onrushing Sylva High
eleven, who have designs upon a
conference title or two themselves.
It didn't turn out that way however.
The Hurricane went over,
under, around, and through (especially
through) a fighting bunch
of Wildcats last Friday night, with I
a 13 to 0 score failing to tell the j
true story of the game.
20 first downs to 5, and 365 yards
rushing to 69, spell in more com- i
plete terms the domination the!
Hurricane enjoyed over the An-1
drews team. The fact that the
score wasn't a great deal higher
resulted mostly from the inability
of the Hurricane to get "ye ole
pigskin" into "ye ole endzone".
The same trouble was evident
against Asheville-Biltmore two
weeks ago, when the Hurricane
found itself perched on their opponents
10 yard line THREE times
in the last quarter, but unable to
punch over a touchdown. That one
cost!
Barnwell seems to be working on i
the situation however, for against i
Andrews, the Hurricane did some
"experimenting" down on the goal
line, sending flankers wide, and
flipping passes. They didn't work
Friday night, but when they do,
the Hurricane will have solved
that problem of winding up drives
with 6 points.
OTHER SCORES
With one big eye probably focused
on the Sylva-Andrews clash,
Bryson City found no great trouble
in tramping over little Tryon
25 to 0.

played and played and couldn't
seem to win a game, finally did

Cats Win Conj
As far as 5,000 homecoming spectators
were concerned, the Western
Carolina Catamounts won the
North State Conference last Saturday
night as they rolled over
Lenoir-Rhyne 14 to 0 at Cullowhee,
completing their conference schedule
without a loss. All the Cata
mounis nave 10 ao now 10 win tne ?
title all for themselves, is to sit
tight and wait for one of the conference
powers to dump Guilford
from the unbeaten ranks.
Striking with smooth precision
in the 2nd and 4th quarters, WCTC
sent McConnell over the goal for t
one TD, and paved the way for 2
Phillips to score the final tally, t
with a pass from Hamilton.
After a first quarter that saw J
the Catamounts stop a sparkling I
Lenoir-Rhyne running game and f
