1953 Football Season Opens With Usual Thrill Down The SPORTS TRAIL Mile Of Tape For Grid Ace A mile of tape has been stowed away in the Southern Methodist University in Dallas, football training quarters for one man?Jerry Norton, triple-threat back. Trainer Wayne Rudy figures the youngster with the fragile ankles will need that much by the time the season ends pec. 5 in a game with Notre Dame at South Bend, Ind. Norton has had weak ankles since his high school days. But he tapes them up and plays more than anybody on the SMU team. Last season he got in 450 minutes between going to and from the bench. He seldom has had to stay out of the game long and if they don't run out of tape he thinks he will play even more this year than last. Marilyn Has Neat Form On Golf Course, Too Marilyn Monroe, filmdom's No. 1 glamour gal, is still drawing raves?but this time on the golf links. Boy friend Joe DiMaggio bought her a set of golf clubs. Marilyn supplies her own form, her progress. She plays regularly but is puzzled about the status of "All the men gather 'round the tee to watch me. All of them say I have a beautiful swing, yet I seldom hit the ball." Old Southern Rivalry Continues The Georgia Tech-Auburn football game, annually played in Atlanta, is one of the most colorful rivalries in the South. When the Yellow Jackets and Tigers tangle this seaspn it will be their 56th meeting in 61 years. Tech holds a 28-14 victory edge. Three contests have ended in ties. Moves A Mountain To See Baseball Game Ben Ward, 57, a wealthy mountaineer of Valle Cruris, loves baseball. He loves it so much he paid $15,000 to have a mountain peak removed to make a baseball diamond on this Tennessee border town in the Smokies. Ward bought a bulldozer which leveled the 3,100 foot peak. The time consumed was 3,000 bulldozer hours. The altitude here plays optical tricks. Outfielders with nothing to judge the height and speed of the ball except the spudl grandstand, sometimes charge in for a drive then rue fully watch it sail 10 feet overhead. Outfielders are wary also of chasing line smashes that fall near the fence?4'/a feet high and of the picket type. behind the short fence is a quarter of a mile drop to a river below, , , ? . . Foxes Were Outfoxed Pretty foxy, these foxes. Two of them hung around a large coop until a heavy rain washed out a hole beneath thei wire fence. Then they slipped in and killed 388 pheasants being raised by the Norwalk (Conn.) Rod and Gun club for stocking purposes. Club members proved equally foxy. They hung around the hole until the foxes re-appeared. Two well aimed shots finished the marauders. Georgia Tech halfback Leon I Hardeman will break his own school scoring record every time he crosses the enemy's goal this year. Hardeman scored 102 points in his first two seasons for the Yellowy Jackets. I Waynesville DRIVE IN | THEATRE Children Under 12 Admitted FREE Show Starts At 7:30 P. M.

Cartoon Carnival End Must Be Both Good As Lineman And Back When Brown Coach Alva Kelley writes that an end must be an exceptional pass receiver he means a fellow like Bill Swiacki. Here's Swiacki catching a pass that helped Columbia break Army's unbeaten string in 1917. By ALVA E. KELLEY Coach, Brown University \P Newsfeatures PROVIDENCE. R. I. ? Under 'he new substitution rule the ac ?omplished end Will be a rarity this season. The qualifications required to neet both the offensive and de rensive responsibilities are simply too vast and too complex for the ilatuon specialist to master in a single season. Glaring weaknesses in either the iffensive or defensive phases will he evident. Physical condition will be of oaramount importance. The A end now runs just as fast, but twice is far. The sacrifice of attaining perfect condition is essential. Short of this, the playing pace must be slowed?a most likely develop ment. A good end must have all the qualifications of a better than average back and all the neces sary requisites of a fine lineman So many talents are required ol this hybrid football player that we seldom find an end without one weakness. In no other position are so many athletic qualities'required. The offensive end must'play like a lineman when he blocks a de fensive tackle. He must be capable of blocking the rough and ready linebackers who, experience shows, stop most running plays, and he I must be able to travel full speed downfleld to take a shot at those j "wlll-of-the-wisp" defensive half backs. Haywood Bear Hunters To Meet Here Tuesday Night High school football games in this area for this week-end will in clude: Canton opens the Season at Asheville, meeting the Maroons, who lost 13 to 16 to Wilmington last week.

Bethel goes into the game to ilght favored Xd win over the Bear :ats, a fete performed last year to he tune of 13-0. The Blue Demons have the heaviest line in the Blue Ridge Conference, and stand a good ?hance of getting to the top in con erence play this season. Coach C. C. Poindexter is well ileased with his boys, and while venturing from pre-game predic lons, did say: "We are in a posi tion to make it interesting." The other three football squads 'n the county are preparing for heir opener. The Mountaineers will get down 'o hard scrimmage this week, as 'hey put on the finishing touciies for Sylva on the 11th in the capital if Jackson. Down in Canton the Black Beers ire battling away on plays which 'hey hope will topple Asheville high in their opener of the season. Last year the Maroons went for a 13-0 victory over the Hipps men. The Maroons held the strong Wil mington team to a 13-16 score Fri day night, which means Asheville is a powerhouse. The Clyde Cardinals have until the 18th before their first game with Candler. Coach McLeod is getfing the squad in fine shape for their first contest. The defending champions of the Blue Ridge Conference, Brevard, J barely nosed out the Black Moun tain Dark Horses Friday night. At j the half the 1962 champs wdre trailing by one point. The Dark Horses got to within the three yard line but failed to push across, and s fumble after a blocked kick cost them another chance at victory. I McCrary, Pace and Bishop for Brevard sparked the way for the victors. Waynesville fans who saw the Brevard-Black Mountain game al ' ready foresee potential trouble for the Mountaineers in coping with the heavy, and hard-charging Blue Devil line, and the fast backs. Pace ran every bit as fast as Bryson of last year, and Bishop plunges from the fullback slot like a college play er. while McCrary is cool, and ac curate as he tosses passes. The Mountaineers meet Brevard on October 23rd. and at the open er in Brevard Friday night, the fans and public address system spotted this as perhaps the game of the season. Will E.

(Mountaineer PI Over 14,000 Fishermen In Pisgah Forest This Season Thp fi?hina <u*acnn in tho f 11 ? 1 ? Pisgah National Forest was highly successful, according to Ranger Ted Seely. During the season, which closed on Monday, some 14,000 fishermen tried their luck in the tumbling streams of the Pisgah, and the average catch is expected to be from four to five fish per man, the ranger states. The number of fishermen would have been greater if the legisla ture had not abandoned the one day fishing permits, it is explain ed, and the lake at Bent Creek, which accommodates some 1.000 per year, was closed this past sum-, mer. ? Norman Davis, of Candler, made one of the best catches of the year, Ranger Seely says. His was a 26" German brown trout, which weigh-1 ed six pounds, 12 ounces. Three weeks later he caught a 22 inch brown trout that weighed in at four pounds. C. E. White, of'Asheville, caught another fine German brown In Upper South Mills, which weigh ed three pounds, 1$ ounces. Red Sentelle. of near Asheville, fished for three hours in the Davidson and caught 10 native rainbow trout, which weighed five pounds and eight ounces. George Farmer, another out standing angler of Western North Carolina, caught a four and one half pound German brown in Up per South Mills, and Charles Am nions landed an 18" rainbow on the Davidson. ? Holland Orr. of Pisgah Forest, caught a 10'i stock native brook on Big East Fork, which weighed six pounds, seven ounces. Ranger Seely says an extensive stocking program was carried out during 1953, and the numbers were as follows: 17,135 rainbow. 22.804 brook. 14,530 German brown. Total 54.469. "These averaged 19 inches in* length and ran about three trout to the pound." the ranger declared. Women's League Opens Bowling .
