was resumed. Carroll Swanger
again made a long run, 30 yards, to

Lenoir, 0
The Mountaineers play Lenoir
Friday, and they can expect a
battle for revenge , Why?
Waynesville battled Valdese to a
6 to 6 tie here-aweelt ago, but
Friday the same Valdese team
humbled the same Lenoir team
by a score of 12 to 0.
Reports from Lenoir say that
it was a rough battle and closer
than the score indicates. The los
ers found it difficult to crack the
Valdese line. Bill Dickson, star
Lenoir quarterback, received' a
back injury that wilt keep him
out of action for some time.
Coach Weatherby of the Moun
taineers, when told the outcome
of the Lenior - Valdese game,
grinned broadly and repeated: "I
told you that Valdese had a good
team." He agreed that the Lenoir
team would probably be in a
fighting mood when they arrive
here, and added, "It'll be a good
game, but we'll be ready for
them." '

THERE were a lot of penalties called against the Mount
aineers in the Sylva game Friday night, some of which clip
ped another touchdown from the scoring column. The score
was big , enough, already, so that doesn't matter, but it. is in
teresting to note that when you train a big man to react
against another big man and put him against a small one, he
ys.likeJx(Jo.seejn.aJit.rpugher than ordinary. I'm not protest-
ing any oi tne caus, you understand, ana a lot oi tne penalties
were for Backf ield in Motion and Too Much Time. However,
if the weights had been a bit more equal, I'm sure some of the
penalties would not have been called. The officials, all from
WCTC, did a good job. '
Legion To Hold
District Meeting
Here Monday
The regular monthly meeting of
Haywood Post No.' 47 of the Am
erican Legion was held Monday
night at the Legion HalU , An
nouncement was tnade of a , Dis
trict meeting to be held here next
Monday. -' - ';'
. The District meeting will, be at
tended by both Division and Dis
trict Commanders. The Legion's
part in the Crusade For Freedom
will' be discussed as well a the
current membership drive. Plaits
for the 1952 Legion baseball teams
will be made,' and refreshments
will be seryed. :
At the meeting last Monday It
was decided that: during the- Win
ter months; meetings' witt begin at
7:30 p.m. instead of the Usual
eight, it was' also decided t6 show
movies at Both business and social
meetings.
The Legion went on record as
endorsing .the national ( "Employ
Tne Physically . Handicapped
Week,", and - members pledged
their cooperation with the local
employment office to make the
"Week." a success. :
, WE HAD quite a chat with Miles Stamey, Mountaineer
guard who was out with a broken finger. Miles surely seem
ed to be a swell fellow, and we were especially interested in
his viewpoint as a lineman regarding why boys play football.
The linemen, you know, seldom get the glory that comes
naturally to a back. Their play, while just as vital, is not so
spectacular. Miles pointed out that a good player must like the
sport intensely, and be more concerned about doing a good
job than getting his name in the paper. "We always feel," he
said, speaking as a lineman, "when we see a back's picture in
the paper well, we opened up the hole and blocked out the
man that let him make that run."

OUR recent suggestion about letting prize fights continue
until the winner is clear and unmistakable, seems to be borne
out by the recent Randy Turpin-Ray Robinson fight. The
bout was ended in the 10th round with Turpin taking a ter
rific beating. It had been close until then, however. Turpin
had opened a cut under Robinson's eye, making him desperate
lest the fight be stopped for fiim. He threw caution to the
ringside and sailed into Turpin with both fists. However,
since it was an international fight with tremendous backing
tor lurptn in England, it should have continued until even
the loser would have to admit he was licked. As it was, Tur
pin was dissatisfied, claming that with just eight seconds left
m the round, he could have continued. Some British news
papers felt the same way.
SPEAKING of the way the British felt we were interest
ed in hearing how a commentator on a radio world news
roundup began his broadcast from London. "Oh somewhere
hearts are happy, and somewhere children shout, but there
is no joy in London, mighty Turpin hasbeen knocked out."
With apologies to Casey, of course. '
TURPIN and the British were not the onlv rjeonlp un.
happy about the fight, if for different reasons. A lot of folks
m this country were sore because there were no open broad
casts or television of the fight. It was "piped" bv TV to spIm
ed theatres, 13 of them across the country, who paid well for
the privilege. In several places, after the theatre sold out, the
people broke windows and raised a lot of er, cain. There Was
tremendous interest in the fight, but onlv a favored fW WAm
