Burnett and the sticky hands ofstamey to set up their first score and to make the second one. The first half of the game was scoreless, but the Wildcats of Cen tral High ran circles around the Bears.

A touchdown by the Wildcats wns narrowly averted in the first hall, when a 15-yard penalty stop ped them after they had reached the Canton ten.

The Indians of Cleveland hurt their chances tremendously. by losing two in a row to the Yanks, but the defeats merely put the Yanks back on top by the split hair. Boston is trying hard to pull up, and might do it yet since they are only three games behind, but attention is cent ered on the Indians and Yanks. I wouldn't bet any money, if I had any, on either one. THE race over in the National League keeps promising firevgrks that may develop yet. , A few weeks ago Brooklyn led by "twelve games and"seemed on their way to making it a . - i . r i ii . i. run over, inow tney re aown to iour, anu anyimng may nap pen.

Acclaimed the greatest safety device for boxers since gloves came into use is the new "mat" for the ring floor. It keeps heads from cracking upon a knockdown. The plastic tombination allows no thud, no bounce you just stretch out and sleep. OP' SOME local interest, perhaps, is this story which we can vouch for. Two young high school ladies were discussing their ideal man. No need to say, of course, that he would be a football player. One of the sisters sneered, nodded to her companion, and said, "Her dream man would have to weigh 600 lbs. be seven feet tall and six feet wide." The other girl smiled and said: "She's just sore because her boy friend is seven feet tall and only weighs 140. They call him ' '."

They're going to do the same thing With next week's bout between Sandy Saddler and Willie Pep. Again certain theatres can pay for the privilege of showing the fight over television, for a price, to those who can get to concede the bait game, however, 'tickets, and later all theatres will have films of the fight. In Recapturuing some of the fire of ether words, unless you pay you won't see or hear. No doubt it makes a lot of money, but I predict trouble that it will lead to something, a Congressional investigation maybe, since everything else is being investigated these days.

AT a student body meeting this week, Coach Weatherby got up and talked at length about the Lenoir and Waynesville bands that will perform tomorrow night about nine o'clock When he completed his remarks, he asked if anyone else had anything to say. Band Director Isley stood up and said: "Lenoir and Waynesyillo vvill play. footbalL before and after the bands perform." CONGRATULATIONS are due Bethel High. For the first time the student body can see their Blue Demons in ac tion on the home field. Now if only they had someplace to sit and a fence around the field. NEWS of Lenoir's loss to Valdese was received here with mixed emotions. Some thought that the logical conclusion was a victory for the Mountaineers, but others felt that Lenoir would be all fired up and eager to show the world they're bet ter than they seemed by tearing down the local lads. Anyway, everybody is planning to go out and see who is right Friday nignt. Alter an, it might work in reverse. COACH Weatherby reports that with the exception pf Miles btamey, the entire squad will be ready for action.

I thought my 287 stood a good chance. What helped me was the back nine of the morn ing round on the final day. After shooting a 40 on the front nine I came buck in 32 with three straight 4', five on the 18th. I might have won if I hadn't taken a five on the last hole. My second shot hit in the rough and it proved costly.

(See pictures, page one, sec. two) The East Pigeon girls and the Saunook boys ended up on top of the CDP Softball Tourney in the finals Wednesday night at Cham pion Park in Canton. The girls defeated Francis Cove by an overwhelming score of 25 to 8, and made it two championships in a row. The boys scored a decisive victory over Center Pigeon, 13 to 6. Between games Wednesday night, the CDP softball queen was select ed and crowned. The honor went to pretty Miss Shirley Jones of the Hominy team. Beauty as well as playing ability were factors in the judges' decision. Other entrants in the contest were Hettie Franklin of Francis Cove, Shirley Rhodarmer of South Clyde, Lyda West of Center Pigeon, Mary Sue Sparks of Saunook, Jean Surrett of Beaverdam, Mary Sue Justice of Upper Crabtree, Jewel Evans of Cruso, Shirley Berry of Aliens Creek, Judy Ensley of Morning Star, Alpha Williams of White Oak, Mary Young of Thick ety, Pauline Bishop of Lower Crabtree, Bobbie Thompson of East Pigeon and Polly McElroy of Iron Duff.- Tension mounted as the second round of the ' tournament began Monday after a long layoff. Cruso girls met those of Morning Star and won 15 to 12. East Pigeon girls took the measure of Thickely 8 to 2."' ' ' Meanwhile the boys were busy with Morning Star knocking Iron Duff out 13 to 4, and Saunook bare ly edging Thickety 7 tp 6. Tuesday brought the semi-finals, and the ladies from Francis Cove won 10 to 8 over Hominy. East Pi geon girls continued toward the championship by defeating Cruso 9 to 5. , Saunook boys were able to beat West Pigeon by one run, 7 to 6,1 and Center Pigeon assured itself of a place in the finals by defeat ing Morning Star 3 to 1. Then came Wednesday, the fin als, the queen, and the end of an other season of CDP softball. The tournament was under the direct supervision of 'Jack Justice and Nazi Miller, with C. C. Poindexter general manager. Full of spirit after their opening win last Friday over Weaverville, the Blue Demons of Bethel are looking forward to a historic mo. ment tomorrow. T,he occasion will be the first game in history ever played on the Bethel field. : Ben Lippen provides the opposi tion for the Demon team that emerged uninjured from their first game. Coach Poindexter predicted a win, but said that it might be a rough experience for his relatively inexperienced team. As for, the game, against Weaver ville, the coach explained: "It was a good hard fight, but they kept pulling in their ends to where their tackles should have been, and our boys took advantage of it." Poindexter particularly praised the work of the line, but remark ed that "The backfield did very well considering the fact that none of them had ever played in a var sity game before. Games in the past that were scheduled for the home field were either played at the Waynesville or Canton fields. Tomorrow marks the first occasion a home game has been played at home.
