Charlie Carpenter Back
Ih Groove For Wake Forest
The Raleigh Times in a recent
sports column pointed out that
Charlie Carpenter, Wake Forest
quarterback from Canton, is
' Healthy and Sharp."
In the first game of the season,
against W'lliam and Mary, the ac
curate firing quarterback, proved
the Raleigh Times right.
The column is as follows:
As long as Bill Barnes and
Charlie Carpenter are healthy, the
Baptists will be explosive. Those
gentlemen happen- to be two of
the best backs in the- entire At
lantic Coast Conference and they
won't go down without a fight.
There has been great concern in
V.'inston-Salem about the condition
of Carpenter's passing hand, which
he severely cut in a dormitory ac
cident last spring.
He vows it has fully recovered.
"The hand is fine," the T-quarter
back said the oher day. "F.xcept
for a little stiffness in the joint
of my thumb, 1 can't tell it was
ever hurt."
Chunkin' Charlie may be the
best passer in the Conference. As
a sophomore last season, he threw
52 aerials, completed 24 and gained
478 ya|^^ He connected for three
touclu^B^
He ^s especially effective
against Carolina when the Deacs
won by an overwhelming 25-0
margin. That afternoon in Baptist
Hollow, Carpenter completed seven
"out of 10 tosses for 187 yards and
two touchdowhs.
There has also been concern
among Deacon followers over the
shift of Barnes to fullback from
his old halfback post. But Amen
assures everyone that the Landis
flash will be just as effective in
his new job.
"He certainly will carry the ball
as much at fullback as he did at
halfback," Amen declares. "And
he will be used in our pass pat
terns.
"A lot of people think a fullback
should be big enough to run over
a man if he gets in the way, hut
we don't have that type of bov
on our ball club. In the Army T
style of offense, we rely on quick
hitting and Barnes possesses the
speed to handle the job in grand
style."
Team Will Surprise Somebody
Amen admits that Barnes won't
be in a position to catch as many
passes. Last year, the blond whiz
snagged 31 aerials to set an At
lantic Coast Conference record.
Ironically, none of the passes went
fcr touchdowns.
Wake Forest won five, lost four
and tied one last season. The four
setback* came at-the hand* of some
of the best teams in the South?
Maryland, Clemson, West Virginia
and Duke.
The Deacs heat William and
Mary. 13-7, and also scored tri
umphs over Virginia Tech. South
Carolina. Carolina and Virginia.
The tie was with State.
We certainly admit that the road
appears rocky this time for the
Baptists. But we don't think they

Skyline Spotlight On Clyde, Marshall
>
Game May
Decide Loop
Champions
The Clyde Cardinals have bowl
ed over four straight opponents,
have scored 112 points while al
lowing their opposition a measly
six, and now lead the Skyline-A
Conference with a perfect record.
However, Coach H. B. Griffin
is taking a pessimistic view of the
big game coming Friday night at
Marshall which will pit his squad
against the Tornadoes, who are
now second in the conference with .
a 3-0 mark.
Although pleased by his team's
showing thus far, the Cardinal
mentor remarked Monday: "1 don't
j see how we can beat Marshall."
He said that the teams are ap
proximately, equal in size, but sees
Marshall as having greater speed
| ?paced by their two leading backs,
fullback Clarence Edwards and
i halfback Elzie Wild.
Until they met up with Owen
High's Warhorses last week and
went down. 48-7, the Tornadoes
had blown over all opposition and
went unscored on. In their first
three games, the Madison Squad
toppled Leicester, 20-0: Walndt,
38-0, and Spruce Pine, 33-0.
Clyde opened by whipping Hot
Springs. 33-6. then conquered Mars
Hill, 19-0, and Bakersville, 20-0.
and last week flattened Spruce
Pine, 40-0.
Clyde has a well-balanced squad j
this year and five backs?Johnny '
Rogers. Bob McCracken, Ira Mar

and Ray Seay?have shared in the :

following the play on television'
Saturday afternoons will either |
find the commentator's descriptive i
dialogs helpful or as confusing as
the swarm of strangely costumed
gladiators on the screen, depend
ing on our familiarity with the;
game.
Assuming some neophytes will
be experiencing their first, exposure
to the great fall spectacles this
year, we are providing a glossary j
of terms which will help clear'
away some of the shrouds of con-!
fusion that might otherwise pre
vail:
SINGLE WING?This has noth
ing to do with wounded birds or5
crippled airplanes; it's an offensive
formation built around a halfback
who stations himself four to five:
yards behind the line and is flank
ed by file three other mem tiers of
the backfield.
T-FORMATION ?another offen
sive formation built around the
quarterback who stands directly
behind the center and either passes
or hands the ball off to one of the
other performers who arrange
themselves in a horizontal row be
hind him, thus giving the appear
ance of a "T".
STATUE OF LIBERTY ? a de
ceptive, though age-old play, in
| which a back or an end takes the
ball from another back who has
assumed a passing stance. The next
time you get a chance to see the
old cirl with her torch aloft you i
might recall her likeness to a fran
tic halfback looking for a friend
ly campaigner who will take the
pigskin off his hands before he
becomes bloodied by a determined ,
foe.
FLAT PASS ? a short pass to
either side of the field which trav
els a greater distance laterally than |
it does beyond the line of .scrim
mage
BELLY SFRIF.S?No connection
with "Mddic". This is a scries of
T-formation plays built around
the fullback who tried to create i
the impression that he has the ball
on every play. -SomeUems he does
until the other team get.s a belly- 1
ful and bends his suit.
MOUSETRAP _ An offensive '
maneuver in which a defensive j
tackle or guard is lured across- the ;
line of serimmaee, only to he up
rooted from either side by o:*- j
fensive liivmen This gentle touch
of humor i> probable the mosl
"down-to-earth." literally speaking,
of- all practical jokes known to
man.
Of course this doesn't answer all
the questions that may come to
mind during a football game. It's
a complicated sport and seems to
be getting more so each year.
Of course, if all else fails there
are two other alternatives open tj
vou: give up the whole thing as a
had business or ask your ten year
old son to explain it all to you.
And don't think h-? can't!

Canton
Waynesville
(Continued from Page fit
tion against the bruins last year:
fullback Hugh Grasty and lialf
back Ncal Palmer.
Canton has played one more
same than Waynesville and has the
advantage of bavins met two top
opponents in Erika and Brevard,
while the Mountaineers have not
yet been extended.
The Black Bears opened their
season by defeatins Bethel 25-0.
and then went on to conquer the
Jets. 24-0 and the Blue Devils,
10-6.
WTHS beat Bethel 53-6 in its
opener, and then flattened Rey
nolds High of Buncombe County
last week. 38-0
Coach Bruce Jayne's. who taw
Canton in action against Bethel
termed the Black Bears "a well
coached club with as fine a back
field as you'll see anywhere,"
He added: "Some people sai
the line is Canton's weakest point
but I believe they have an exce'len
line and notice that they havi
had only one touchdown scorer
against them."
Coach Jayne's said that except
for Hooper, his cluh will be a
full strength for the crucial clash
which will have a major hearlni
on the Blue Ridge Conference race
and may produce the chief chal
longer to Hendersonville.
Coach Jaynes disclosed he wil
depend on the same starting lineiq
he has used in the Bethel nn<
Reynolds game with the possibli
exception of right end where hi
has three execellent prospects
Bobby Hill. Jack Lewis, and Jimm;
Fowler. All three have played i
lot thus far and all have sliowei
up very well.
The long series between the tw
county rivals now stands at 29 win
for Waynesvllle, 19 for Cantor
with three ties.
Last year. Canton won. 14-13, ii
a game played here on a water
logged field.
In that lilt. Charles West o
Canton provided the difference b

Something Had To Give 1
BROOKLYN, N. Y. (APt ?
Something had to snap when Mil
waukee's Bob Buhl opposed Brook

their National League series in
Ebbetts Field. ? !
Buhl had won five in a row a
gainst Brooklyn and Craig had
been unbeaten in 10 Ebbets Field
starts since joining the Dodgers a
year ago.
Neither pitcher was around at
the finish but Buhl got credit for
his sixth straight over Brooklyn
to make his record 14-4. Craig lost ;
his sixth game of the campaign.
He had won 10.
pass of six. good for 20 yards.
In 1954, Waynesville won a 14-12
