Blue Demons Are Full Of Turkey Stuffed With Pride
Girls Beat
Rosman
Fines Creek went over to Rosman
Friday night, and wtre half suc
cessful. The girls made it two vic
tories in a row by winning 54-32,
but the boys couldn't keep up the
pace and the 44-65 defeat leaves
them evenly divided.
E. Rathbone was high scorer for
Fines Creek. Her 22 points were
better than any player on the three
other teams could manufacture. Of
the Fines Creek boys Bill Rogers
was best with 16 points.
Play was consistent in both
games with the winners maintaining
the margin of victory through most
of the battle
On Tuesday the Fines Creek
teams come to Waynesville to en
gage the Mountaineers.

ESPITE the many basketball games and the Bowls still
tit is difficult at 'this season of the year to fill sport
lithout lighting up "the hot stove of baseball. Just take
erat some of the dailies and you'll see what I mean.
ases, for example; based on the question: "Is big-league
fl a sport or a profession?" Way back yonder after the
i, or infamous, 1919 World Scries, Chief Justice Holmes
was a sport and not a commodity in trade or commerce.
ppinion has been working on that opinion ever since,
if the fact that thousands of people make good or in-
lit livings from it. What raises the issue, of course, is
that baseball is so well organized that a player must
it at the discretion of the league owners, and some play-
atain that they are deliberately restrained. Seems to
time legal' authorities took another look at reality.

jHILfe on the subject of the baseball, it is interesting to
iat the major and minor leagues are taking measures
down the competition ,of the radio (or television) and
ir combination. The .new Baseball Commissioner,
nek, is agreeable, and has suggested that the question,
food for baseball?" be used as a measuring rod. The
p are cutting out a lot of broadcasting and televising,
illy of home games. The majors, say the minors, by
of radio have made people bored with small-town stuu.
Fing. at any rate, has caused the minor leagues to lose
0,000 fans in two years. Once again, however, 1
omebody is being unrealistic. Radio and television is

If the Blue Demons football team
of Bethel High can play next year
as well as lis mothers can cook,
then Waynesville, as Blue Ridge
Conference champs, had better
look to its laurels.
The above statement is based up
on evidence submitted by the
mothers at the annual football ban
quet Friday night at Bethel. The
mothers took it upon themselves to
prepare the food which the fathers
had supplied, and the results were
superb. Equal in interest, however,
were the remarks of the principal
speaker, Uoy Abernathy, who play
ed football at UNC in 1905 and Is
rated by the University as their all
time great fullback. Abernathy
now a successful business man in
Asheville, quoted Browning, "We
fall; to. rise again." told about his
first 'college'' ..football game. "We
played in a cornfield with the
slalks just cut," and discussed the
fabulous Jim Thorpe as he knew
him, "He wouldn't play unless they
cave him his two pints after every
game,-';.
Some idea of the variety and In
Iciest of the talk cannot,, however
do justice to the serious purpose it
conveved to the 1951 Blue Demon
sound. "Things that come too easily
don't help. It is not good for a team
lu win every game. A constant win
ncr Is in the snme position, and
condition, of the over-privileged in
this country: both need help bad.
Iv. Defeat builds character while
ton" much victory destroys it."
Abcrnalhy paid tribute to Belhol
coach C C. l'oindexler as "one of
the best coaches and one of the
best men In the slate. Continuing
ic told the players about (he "big
shots" of his college days. "They
are nil dead now while we fellows
who were taui'.lit to lead a clean
mid healthy life lire still going
strong." ;
Poindexter thanked the players,
the managers, the faculty, the press,
the cheer leaders, and various busi
ness concerns for making "my first .
year at Bethel such an enjoyable
expei tence."
Awards were then announced.
