(Staff5 Mountaineers Eattle Tigers li 6 to Score In Fourth Quarter; Fail To Gel Extra Point V By HANK MESSICK Despite heartbreaking failures at critical moments the Waynes 'VIlTe Mountaineers refused to give up and fought their way from be hind, in their opening game against ,the Valdese Tigers in the local sta dium Saturday night, to score in the fourth quarter, and tie up the game, 0 to 6. It was a tight kicking duel in the first quarter with the largest opening night crowd in Mountain eer history, around 5000, watching with the teams for the first break. It did not come until the second quarter when Pons kicked for Val dese from Waynesville's 48 and Wllliaams recovered a Mountaineer fumble of the kick -on the 5-yard Hne Three plays later Passmore handed off to Temple who plung- pver to make it Valdese-6, Waynes-ville-0.

His brother, Terry, went through the right side of the line for a first and ten on the 38, and the crowd was yelling. DeWeese lost a yard, however, and an off-sides penalty made it five. After a loss of an other two vards the drive was halt. LO&Mm Mountaineers swung Jed and Terry Swanger kicked. into action then, with less than four minutes remaining in the half. Their threat fizzled out, however, on the Tiger 16 when four suc cessive passes dropped incomplete. Another threat in the third quar ter ended with the Mountaineers out of downs on the Tiger 1-yard line. The last quarter began with a new Waynesvilie drive that finally carried to pay dirt when DeWeese. who played an outstand ing game throughout, ripped through his right to score. The at tempt to run the ball over Tor the extraa point was no good, and the score stood and stayed at 6 to 6. Waynesvilie won the toss and decided to kick. Temple brought . Gilliland's kick back to the 22. Passmore advanced the ball two yards, and Williams ran it to the 30 but a backfield in motion pen- alty took it back t0 the 20.

At this point not a pass had been lattempted; Waynesvilie had the ledge on running plays, but Val Jdese had offset that with its kick ing. The crowd was tense but still confident that It was only a mat jteri of time until a Mountaineer j!bacx,0uld get loose and, with the laid of a little better blocking, go f orthe goal line. It was. In the fnert, quarter, however, that Val dese Was to More. It was then that the Tigers set up their break. They advanced the ball from their 41 to Waynesville's 48, and, after the first pass at tempt of the game fell Incomplete, Pons punted. The ball hit about the 20, was fumbled, and, after a confused scramble, was recovered by the Tigers on Waynesville's five yard line. Three plays later they scored, but the extra point try was unsuccessful,, Valdese kicked off; the ball was almost fumbled again but the Mountaineers retained possession on their own 31. After a time out. they opened up with a combined aerial and ground attack that show ed promise. Terry Swanger tossed to DeWeese for three; DeWeese picked up six to the 40; Carroll Swanger made it a first down on the 44, and DeWeese tossed the ball to Owen for another first and ten on the Tigers' 41. Ross cut loose and ran to the 28, but here hard luck struck. The Mountaineers had a man in motion too soon and the Tigers were off sides, Thua the- play was nullified, and the1 ball returned to the 41. However, after two incomplete passes, Ross threw one to Terry Swanger who caught It on -the 25 and kept going to the 16. Time left in the half was only seconds so the Mountaineers filled the air with passes, four of them, and all In complete. The Tigers, taking over. had time for only one play which aginea nothing, and the half end ed with them ahead, six to nothing. Hairume activities featured a ten minute show by the Waynes vilie Township School Band that was well received. Such formations as "The Schoolhouse," the "HbIIo, and the "School Monogram" de lighted the large audience, but the formation that attracted the most applause was "Inflating the Foot ball ', The band in two lines, gradu ally began to bulge In the center as the drum major pumped furl ously. The climax came when the "football" became J oVer-lnflated and popped loudly. Valdese got a bad break on the opening play of the second half.

Those Bums knocked them off the other day and set the stage for the final duel between Brooklyn and the Giants.

PLAY-OFFS excepted, the World Series will open on Oct. 3rd if the Yankees win the pennant, and a day later if the Indians do. Tickets are going to be expensive as usual- why!

De-Tigers took time out to catch their breath, but In three Plays Terry Swanger, DeWeese and Ross made another first down on the 10. The crowd was sure now that lightning was striking and cheers rolled back and forth across the field. DeWeese didn't change their minds as he bucked to the five. Ross carried to the one, but an offside penalty put the hardwork In Mountaineers back to the ten. DeWeese, spark-plugging the at tack, went around left to the six and had his jersey torn off. Time was called as it was replaced, and the crowd sat tense and expectant, With third down and goal, the Mountaineers lost a yard. Fourth and seven to the goal line saw De Weese pile up one yard short.

THE GAME in Asheville the other night indicates sever al things.

Canton Bears Win 14-0 Over Asheville Hi The- Canlon Black - Bears" went into Triple A competition Friday night and soundly licked the Ashe ville High Maroon Devils at Mem orial Stadium, 14 to 0. Charles Carpenter threw the passes that enabled the Bears to score In the second and fourth periods, but the game was actual ly more lopsided than the score would Indicate as the Bears prov ed themselves, better in almost every department Canton made eight first downs to Asheville s five aid completed eight passes to none for the Dev. lis. The Bears gained a total of 227 yards to Asheville's 142 Had the Devils been In better shape the Contest might have been much closer, but It was clear that they were not ready to play and WE HAD a rare chance the other day to talk to a big time coach about big-time sports. Everett Case of N. C. State, head basketball coach there, was the man. Of course basket ball is a little out of the limelight right now what with the baseball season sliding in and the football season kicking off, but there was still a lot to talk about. COACH CASE said that he sometimes becomes a bit tired by the sensational manner in which sport stories involv ing (Jishonesty are handled. He maintained that there were iar more crooks and unethical actions in everyday lite than in sports. "In fact," he said, "it is because unethical conduct is the exception in sports that it gets so much attention." - CONTINUING, he stated that commercialization of sports is the direct result of the over-emphasis placed upon the im portance of money in everyday life. He believes.and tells his players, that ai athletic scholarship is not the end in it self but is a stepping stone to a complete education. "You can't eat basketballs in ten years," he tells his players. AS FAR as preventive measures, Mr. Case suggested that fear should be used along with an appeal to honor. "Make il quite clear what the consequences are at the same time you try to reach their better self, and you'll get results." Case feels that the boys at Bradley Were to blame, and should be punish ed, but he added that "The fixers were the really guilty ones." "A GOOD COACH," concluded Mr. Case, "looks over a prospective player with three things in mind: his academic record, his personality as revealed by his record and his ac tions, and last, his athletic ability. Regardless of how good a player he may be, he must first pass inspection oh the other things."'-:- Says Big xiiicau Hi Basketbal Coaah Everett N, Cr College looks more like player than a baskeilJ and lie talks like a pi philosophy. He talks however, and once start, freely, Case spent Friday ni:l guest of -the local Stsi Alumni group.
