(Stage Set For Haywood Annual Grid Classic
Waynesville
Canton To
Meet At 8
KICKOFF TIME 8 P. M..
In just a short time from now
Waynesvilles Mountaineers will
come up with an answer to the
question troubling the minds of
all fans of the Gold and Black:
Can Waynesville stop Charlie Car
penter?
Last year "Chuckin' Charlie"
proved too tough to handle, and
the Mountaineers lost both tilts to
their county rivals.
Again this year, Mr. Carpenter is
the big "if" in Waynesville's plans
for a successful season. Expecta
tions are that Coach C. E. Weath
erby's highlanders can conquer
2 BACKS INJURED
The Mountaineers' attack
against Canton will be hampered
considerably by injuries to Co
Captain Tom Cogdill and Bill
Grahl, both backfteld men who
usually see a lot of serried. Ac
cording to Assistant Coach
Jaynes, Cogdill and Grahl will
see only limited action in
Waynesville's important clash
with the Black Bears at Canton
tomorrow night.
' Canton if they can put the brakes
on Carpenter, but that's about as
easy to do as trying to reason with
a Smoky Mountain wild boar. ~
Friday night's clash at Canton
will mark the 48th meeting between
the two strong Haywood opponents
?a rivalry which began Nov. 18,
1922. Sinee that time, Waynesville
has won 26, and Canton 19. IiJ the
matter of points, the Mountaineers
have tallied 621 to Canton's 456.
The highest score ever made by
Waynesville was 34 points in 1941.
Canton's highest total?33?was
posted in 1945.
Last season Canton had won only
one game and lost two when they
surprised 'a favored Waynesville
team 7-6 in their first meeting.
The Black Bears, again paced by
Carpentw, came back Thanksgiv
ing Day to win by 13 to 7.
This'year. Canton is generally
favored, so it'll be the Mountain
eers who have the opportunity to
spring a surprise.
Both teams are undefeated, but
Canton has met tougher opponents
than have the Gold and Black. The
Bears have downed Asheville 19
6, Sand Hill 44-6, and Brevard 33
7. The Mountaineers have beaten
Sylva 27-7 and Bethel 26-0. Last
week's scheduled game with Mur
phy there was drowned out.
Despite Carpenter's all-round ex
cellence. Canton is still not a one
man team: the Bears have several
other backs who would look good
in anyone's lineup. Beefy Hugh
Powell packs a lot of weight in hia
line plunges, and Skeeter Curtis
moves faster than a sailor on shore
leave
While the two grid aggregations
are settling their family feud over
the chalk stripes, the marching
bands of Waynesville and Canton
will stage another of their inter
esting musical duels at halftime.
No matter who emerges on top.

Lwn The
SPORTS TRAIL
f.\nnual Football Classic In Haywood
The eve of the annual football classic in Haywood which
p Waynesville and Canton football teams together ftnH,
tense and just as excited as ever. This .s one sports
it that over-shadows all others?world series, big col
onies. fishing and hunting, come almost to a standstill
u ^ Havwood is concerned when Waynesville and Can
play each other in football. ?
ITith an even break in the weather, the Canton stadium
e bulging at the seams Friday night, with anxious and
I fans. All this week, wherever sports fans happened to
, the main topic was the first of the 1953 two-series
set for Friday night. Predictions were free for the ask
ith?the vast majority passing them out with a profes
"winner picking" attitude.
,e first game of the series between the two taams is
highly speculative, and even more so this year be
e two teams have not to date met the sarr>e opponimts
teams have perfect 1953 records. Canton has played
mes, and Waynesville only twice. The third Waynes
me being cancelled because of ankle-deep mud on the
r field.
ynesville's goal line has been crossed just once, while
inton's three opponents have pushed across one touch
ich.
tudy of the 1953 records of both teams, shows that
/ille has done the majority of their scoring in the last
ile Canton rolled up the most of their points in the
[ of their games. This might be of secondary import
t it does reveal to some degree the fact that Canton
ie their scoring done early, while the Mountaineers
mservative and cautious game.
I The 1953 records show that in two games Waynesville
npted 16 passes, and completed eight, for a 50 per cent
ige. The Black Bears have thrown 19 passes in three
>s, with 13 completed, for an average of 61 per cent.
[n the first downs department, Canton has rolled up 45
eir three games, against Waynesville's 17 in two games,
here, once again, with the two teams not meeting the
opponents, it is hard to make such a comparison mean
fling relative to the Friday contest.
When it comes to rushing, the Mountaineers have travel
19 yards on the ground in two games for an average of
i yards per game. The Black Bears have to their credit
ards in three games for an average of 193 2/3 yards per
!. But included in that was the high mark registered in
land Hill game, which also accounted for many of the
Waynesville's punts have averaged a yard and a half
t than Canton, -with a net average of 3314 gainst 32
I per kick. ,
Is for penalties, both teams have suffered an even 80
I for the season.
Canton has missed making the extra points on nine oc
as this year, and Waynesville three. And there hangs
lie of last year's first game, when the Black Bears de
i Waynesville by a 7-6 score.
Carpenter will be the best passer the Mountaineers have
up against this year. And by the same token, the Way
lie line will be the fastest charging group that Carpen
is had rush him this season.
3ie Black Bear ends are quick on the take-off, and are
at holding the ball once they get their hands on it, but
'aynesvills backs have been strong in the art of breaking
lased on the 1952 and 1953 record, the Mountaineer will
telv go into the Friday game as the underdogs, but woe
fan that under rates their ability to produce in a pinch.
