E2-?SKT3-?ASZ X,? TEE WHTTTSTklXH MUu.f.Wuj Tuesday, September 23,-4947 Mffli Swamp SPEARHEADING With SPORTS By ED SPEARS WELL, WE'VE got another good football team. Their first appearance was all that anyone could expect, and more, although it was such a one-sided game that it didn't require the best the Mountaineers can offer. Tougher days are ahead, however. Brevard will be more difficult than Sylva . . . and then comes Elizabethton . . . and Canton. The Betsy eleven is another sausage grinder outfit with the big boy Spergeon back in at fullback, and out to revenge that 7-6 loss to the Mountaineers in '46. AS FOR what will happen at Canton the night of October 10, who knows? The law of balance says that this is supposed to be Canton's year. Poindexter has a good team with strong reserves, with possibly a better passing attack than last year. Whether the Black Bears can beat Waynesville or not, it seems to yours truly, depends a lot on what conditions the Mountaineers are in after Elizabethton leave here. If our first team backfield sur vives the Tennesseeans without injury, Waynesville should be able to hold its own at Canton. THERE SEEMS to be some doubt as to the final score at Sylva. The radio announcer asserts it was 45-0, while we stick to the 44-0 version; not giving Waynesville credit for the extra point when Howard Liner caught the pass in the end zone. . A penalty was called on the play which threw the point out from the way it appeared to us. NEW RULES regarding substitutes were in effect at Canton Saturday night that will speed up the game a bit. One or two subs may go in at any time between plays without reporting to the referee. BROOKLYN is having a bad time trying to get that win to make the National League pennant a mathematical cinch. Sunday they lost another to Boston, while, the Cards had their doubleheader postponed by rain. Either a Brooklyn win Dr a Cardinal loss will ease the pain . . . Haywood county will have to keep their eyes on Wake Forest triis season to follow a native son in the big college arenas. Don Hipps is playing his fourth year for the Deacons as blocking back . . . Six bear hunts will be staged during October arid December in the Sherwod Wildlife management area. ) -tit 14. Ulfe -Would you go to Europe, Japan or Korea? Or would you stay near home?

Ervin Shook started things off early in the first period by tak ing a punt on his 40-yard strJpe, picking up interference and streak ing to a touchdown the first time Waynesville touched the ball. Rlehard Powers, halfback, and Kenneth Gaddis. substitute full back, went to work in the point makiiiff department; adding: five more, and Powers lateraled to Hugh Caldwell after catching a forward from Shook to turn the speedy tackle loose for the final touchdown in the closing- minutes of play. Shook's toe accounted for the two extra points on the record with one other pass con version canceled by a penalty. Sylva, outweighed and unable to crash the Mountaineer forward pinned their attack on aerials; the Jones to Cunningham combination connecting on many of the short ones. Pressley's running also was hard to stop, but Sylva missed the few opportunities they had to score and never offered a serious penetration into Mountaineer ter ritory. The center of the Hurricane line gave few gains to Waynesville, however, and it took passes and end runs to loose the backs. Waynesville's second touch down drive began after Pressley punted to Shook, who returned it 27 yards to the Sylva 35. Atkin son, hitting hard in his fullback assignment, and Noland added six yards; then Shook passed over center to Powers on the 15, and he broke away for No. 2. Shook's conversion made it 13-0. Another drive was begun before the quarter ended, Powers and At kinson bringing the ball to Sylva's 25. Two passes to Powers made the third touchdown and the score 19-0.

DeVries' Aggies found themselves on evn terms with the Bear third string and plugged away until they scored their lone touchdown during the third quarter. Canton's second team then wont in to receive the kickoff, and Jimmy Howard took the ball and raced 79 yards for a touchdown. Poor punting set up the first two Bear markers. After receiving, the Aggies were held and forced to punt. Ivester, Miller, Smathers and Ted Stiles alternated in pick ing up ground and Ivester went over for the last two yards.

Canton's third quarter offense got to a quick start, and Miller passed to Rhodarmer for 22 yards to set the ball on the four. Ivester went through for the score. Coach C. C. Poindexter then sent in his Cubs. The Aggies drove from their 38 to Canton's 4, were stopped, but held the Cubs until they punted and drove back again to score: Wood hitting center for the touchdown and dropkicking the extra point. After Howard's return of the Aggie kickoff for another Canton touchdown the first team got an other chance at Warren Wit snrv Blalock Hits Homer And Shuts Out Sayles 3-0 Shaughnessy Playoff Begun Sunday With Finals On Deck This Afternoon Another Hazelwood-Beacon Mills clash is on deck this afternoon as the two top ranking teams in the Western North Carolina Industrial baseball league meet to decide the Siiaughnessy playoff championship at Asheville's McCormick field. Hazelwood earned their finals berth Sunday as Bud Blalock oitched a three-hit shutout to Sayles and slammed a homer be. hind the scoreboard in the Ashe- ville park to account for two of the three Hazelwood runs. Green River was the first round victim of Beacon in the second of Sunday's double bill, losing 3 to 7. The Blalockmen have lost only one game of seven played . witn Beacon during the last two seasons, but that loss was in the playoff finals last September one which Hazelwood will seek to avenge to day. The teams meet again after the preliminary between Green River and Sayles, which starts at 1:30. Sayles retired the Hazelwood batters as they came to the plate during the first two innings Sun day, and threatened as Moston and Case got safeties their second time at bat. Blalock however struck out Riddix to retire the side. Zeb Swann, playing first base, made the first connection for Haz elwood, getting a double in left field; and Stan Henry smacked him in for the initial run during the third inning. Henry led off in the sixth with another safety, but was played out at second as Dudley rolled o.ie to short. Smith hit another to the in field, and Blalock came to the plate with two men out, and Dud- day, and threatened as Morion and the. one he was waitine for and Bud walloped it high and fast be hind the scoreboard for an ea trip around the bases. Excellent field play on the part of both teams kept the score 3-0 the remainder of the game, with Troutman, Yount and Lane hand ling most of Sayles connections, and Clark, the shortstop, leading the Sayles hustle.
