Tribute Paid To WTHS Coaches By Sports Writer The hollowing was published in The Citizen, and written by Bobby Terrell, .sports editor A MILESTONE for the town of Waynesville is marked in the banner story on this page this morning. And possibly there is mourning in the town itself for Carleton Weatherby, who resign ed yesterday after many fruitful years as coach at Waynesville High, was something of an insti tution in the town. Weatherby is a quiet, polite man who has fielded some of the i greatest high school football ' teams Western North Carolina 1 has ever known. He has known only one school in his last 27 years of teaching and coaching ?but many other schools havo known him. tasting defeat at the hands of his perennially powerful Mountaineer elevens. Weatherby has always believed that power is best in football. His teams have been noted down through the years for their line busting efficiency and their rock em-sock-em type of defense. Though he always taught sports maaship and clean play. Weather by made his boys lvit as hard as they could, and then perhaps a little harder. AJook at his record of wins and losses at Waynesville High <213 1 -4? tells how well this" system has paid off That and the number j of hoys he has sent on to foot ball fame in colleges and univer sities around the nation. Weathorhv started Hill Milner , on the road to All-America fame I as a guard at Duke and later to more laurels as captain of the professional New' York Giants. I Milner is only one boy out of two generations Weatherby has sent through the channels of collegiate football to emerge on the coach ing scene or in other professions, ; And every one of these fellows j still holds an aura of near-wor | ship for the stout, good-natured j Weatherby. WEATHERBY IS NOT com pletely off the athletic scene it Waynesville High He will remain as athletic director and will h ? on the practice field this fall to give a hand to his coaching staff. I Mis successor, Bruce Jaynes. is j the logical choice. Me is a Weath erby man all the way. He learned his high school football from Weatherby on the same practice field where he will now coach the Waynesville teams. After se veral vears in the Army where be wielded his fists in such a fashion that he became the Army's heavyweight boxing champion of the Aleutian Islands. Bruce returned home and enroll ed at Western Carolina College, playing football under Tom Young and recording grades far above the average. Upon graduation, he returned to Waynesville as Weatherby's assistant and has served in that capacity for several seasons. Me will carry on in the same manner as Weatherby. teaching the same type of fooball and. un less I miss my guess, turning out the same caliber of teams. IT WAS MY PRIVILEGE io be a classmate and glpse friend.to, Bruce at Western Carolina Col lege. It is the contention here j that Waynesville High made no' mistake in elevating Bruce to the position of head coach. Me has a knack of getting alone well with boys and he has tho ability to teach and to be under stood. Mis hand is firm enough to command obedience There will be few problems of discipline un der his eoaebing. Last of all, he is a hustler who isn't scared to put in the extra hours required in the eoaehing profession. The fact that Weatherby has stepped down does not mean that a r egression is upcoming in foot hall at Waynesville High. The town is too good a football town for that and Bruce Jaynes will he too good a football coaeh to let it happen. It merely means that the mile stone has been passed. Weatherby is no longer shaking out the reins But he is still in the wagon and he will be of help to Jaynes in the latter's infancy as a head coach It has been rumored for several seasons that Weatherby would re sign Each year he shook off the A SUCCESSFUL Bt'NT was laid down by this Canton player (dark uniform' in the ?* ^ WJTC Junior Industrial Learue playoffs here Tuesday afternoon, won by the Champion Y over Hazrlwood. 6-4.
