Strong Second Half Gives Waynesville
Win Over Bethel; Belles Repeat
Bv BOB CONWAY
The second basketball meeting
of the season between Bethel and
Waynesville produced the same re
sults at Bethel Friday night as the
first games at Waynesville except
that the Mountaineers won by a
comfortable margin of 10 points?
st 48-38?instead of by the one
point hair-raiser played here Jan
uary 13.
The Bethel Belles once again
demonstrated their mastery of the
Waynesville Mountaineers, who
;ave an appalling exhibition of
foul shooting by missing 17 free
throws and connecting on enly
five.
In the boys' game, here,
the Mountaineers were
red hot in the first half, leaving
the floor at the intermission with
a 16-point lead, but they never hit
their early stride in the second
half and Bethel finally cut the
margin to 48-47 at the end of the
game.
Friday night, however, it was
their good second-half showing
that brought the Gold and Black
cagers home under the wire. Al
though Waynesvtlle was ahead at
the end of the first quarter, 12-11,
the Blue Demons forged ahead In
the sefcond period and were on top
at the half. 20-18
At the start of the third quarter,
Tom Sparks of Waynesvllle scored
a fielder to tie up the game and
Tony Davis sent the Mountaineers
ahead with a one-hander at 22-20.
Bethel deadlocked the count again
on Singleton's jump-shot, but Car
roll Hooper connected for WTHS
and the Mountaineers held the
lead for * the remainder of the
game.
Waynesvllle was ahead at the
end of the third quarter, 32-26.
Don Jordan was the big gun for
the highlanders with 19 points,
while Tony Davis. Tom Sparks,
and Bobby Ballance each caged
eight.
Dean Reese, a smooth, cool
guard, was the whole show for the
Blue Demons with 2.1 markers.
The girls' game turned into a
scoring duel between two sopho
more sensations?Agnes Roberson
nf WavnesvHttf and Shirlev Smith
of Bethel?with the former fin
ishing with ? 34-point total to
Miss Smith's 31.
However, Bethel's ace got a lit
tle more assistance from her
teammates and the Belles prevailed
once more. At the same time that
Waynesville missed the mark at
the foul line 17 times, the Bethel
girls calmly dropped in 13 free
throws and missed on only six at
tempts.
Between the boys' and the girls'
games. Mary Kay Phillips, Bethel
guard, was crowned as the school's
basketball queen and will repre
sent the Belles for county queen
in the tournament next week.

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy
Phillips of Retreat on the Lake
Logan Road, was elected by a
secret vote of her teammates.

Haywood's
Other Teams
On The Road
An important Blue Ridge Con
ference clash between Henderson
ville and Canton at Canton and a
major county game between Bethel
and Clyde at Clyde wil be the only
two high school basketball games
played In Haywood County Tues
day night. /
On the road Tuesday will be:
Waynesville at Reynolds, Pines
Creek at Valley Springs, and Crab
tree-lroc Duff at Spring Creek.
The Canton Black Bears turned
back Hendersonville on the Bear
cats' home floor January 11, but
the bruins may be hard pressed to
repeat their victory. In their last
three games, the Canton dribblers
have dropped two?to Bethel and
Enka?while winning over Ashe
ville School.
Tuesday night's scrap in Cardin
al town between Clyde and Bethel
is more important than usual be
cause it may offer a preview of
what's to come in the annual Hay
wood County tournament, which
opens next week at Bethel.
Last year, with the Canton boys
out. the county title was mostly a
matter of a playoff between Bethel
and Waynesville, but thsi year the
Cardinals are also flyiag high and
the tournament has turned into a
triangular affair.
Clyde has dropped five this sea
son. but has been beaten decisively
only once and that was b^ Bethel,
50-29, in Pigeon Valley December
2. The Cardinals were right on the
heels of the Blue Demons at the
half of their first meeting. 18-16,
but the Pigeon pointmakers got
hot in the second half at the same
time the Maroon and Gold cooled
off.
In that game. Dean Reese led
Bethel with 22, while David Mc
Cracken topped Clyde with 14.
In the girls' contest, the Belles
stopped the Cardinalettes, 65-44.
In their last start, the Fines
Creek teams scored their only
clean sweep of the season over
their major rival, Crabtree-Iron
Duff. The other three games were
split affairs, with the Fines
Creek boys winning two and the
Crabtree girls capturing a pair.
Florida State's new assistant
coach, Hugh 'Bones* Taylor, form
erly starred for the pro Washing
ton Redskins.
Nobody can say the sacrifice fly
rule helped Richie Ashburn of
the Phillies win the 1955 National
League batting title. He hit only
one sacrifice fly in batting .338.
\WE NEVER FORGET\
Unfortunately,people do!
They say that elephants never forget. However it's a well known fact that
people DO! That's why it pays the business man to keep on reminding
people who he is, where he is, and what he has for sale. Best place to do
this reminding is where people look when they are planning to BUY some
thing. That's in the advertising columns of this newspaper, where most
shopping starts. All of which is to remind YOU that this might be a good
time to talk to us. Just pick up your phone and call GL 6-5301.
