You might have expected fumbles and mixed-up signals from a team running from the tricky T-formation for the first time, but the way the Mountain eers were moving, you'd have thought they invented the T. During the entire ball game, WaynesviUe backs fumbled the ball only one time and that hap pened in the fourth quarter when reserves were in the lineup. Even that lone bohble was recovered. Sam Lane, lirst-string quar terback. did an excellent job in running the T-formation, show ing good timing in h<s handoffs and some deceptive faking. Sev eral times Lane was hit before he had completed his handoffs, but each time he got rid of the ball. Reserve quarterbacks Jock Hold er and Wayne Pruett also turned in a creditable job while they were in the game. It's just one man's opinion, but it seemed to us Friday night that the Mountaineers were tackling better than we've ever seen them in an opening game. It's an unusual thing to see Waynesville start a game by re ceiving the opening kickoft. but it didn't seem to hurt because the highlanders scored in only three and a half minutes. Waynesville's only weakness against Bethel was in pass de fense. !?' the Mountaineers can improve against enemv air raids, they should he hard to handle this season. Yankees Get Around CHICAGO iAPi ?
