Forced To
Take To Air
By BOB CONWAY
The Blue Ridge champion Hen
drrwnvillr Bearcat*, famed for
their crush ire ground attack, had
t# take to the air Friday night to
tome from behind and edge a
firhtinf. determined band of Way*
nesvilia Mountaineers. 7-6.
Waynetvillc scored first in the
game by taking the opening kick
off on their own 27 and powering
73 yards for a touchdown, made by
Car:wll Hooper who went over
from the three. A pass from Lane
to Jack Lewis for the extra point
looked good, but the WTIIS end
couldn't hold on to the pigskin.
Although much of the yardage
In Wayaasville's drive was made
on the ground, two passes from
I*nne to Sparks helped the Moun
taineers when the going got rough
against the big Bearcat line.
Hendcrsonville's touchdown came
midwav in the third quarter on a
drive from the Bearcat 34-vnrd
line. After picking up one first
down on the ground, quarterback
T>on Elmore rifled a 3B- vard pas?
to end Hall Hunter, which carried
to the Waynesville 15.

Although Waynesvlllc's barks j
performed well on offense against
the biggest and most experienced ,
line In the Blue Hidgc Conference. !
it was on defense that the Moun
taineers looked best Friday night
against Hendersoi ville
In all other games against North
Carolina opponents, fullhark Bob
Elliott of Hendersonville. has run
v\ lid. usually scoring on long gal
tops. but the Gold and Black de
fenders really i*d the brakes on
Mr. E Friday night. His longest
of the game was u 10-yard (

He carried the hall many times,
hut uanallv found his frame drap

Wavnesville's performanee
arainst the bie and talented Hen
dersonvilie club seems to prove
?hat the Mountaireers' 45-8 loss to
fanton was something of a freak,
hut the elash between the Black
Bears and the Bearcats on October
19 will shed more light on that
matter
Hendersonville once tried a criss
cross on a punt return?seeking to
emulate Canton's auccess with that
trickv maneuver?but It didn't
work with the Bearcats?their ball

went 10 feet.

4 Haywood Hunters Help
Track Down Wild Sow
(EDITOR'S NOTE ? The fol- I
lowing article on a wild sow
hunt In Cleveland County, in
whlrh four Haywood County
hunters participated, is reprint
ed from the Shelby Daily Star.)
By BOB CHESSMAN
In thick swampland of Cleveland
County, usually considered small
game country, a vicious wild sow
was brought to bay early this morn
ing on Beaver Dam Creek to end
a two*year search for the maraud
ing tusker
A hand of seven hunters led by
Ben Clary of Beaverdam Commun
ity and including some of North
Carolina's top wild hoar hunters
from WnynesVille raptured the
maddened wild sow alive just after
daylight this morning with 14 dogs
tn on the seizure.
Still dangerous though ripped
open in three places by the dogs'
teeth, the sow squealed, squalled,
and snapped viciously at anyone
or anything within range with its
gleaming red eyes. Sixty-seven
stitches were taken to sew up the
animal
E* A ... #. ll At ? . %

with two razor-sharp tusks on its1
lower jaw.s has destroyed corn
crops and menaced dons and farm
animals in the Poplar Springs Com
munity,
Quay Bridges, who had offered
a reward for the animal dead or
alive, gave a long sigh when thev
brought the news to him at his
farm. "I'm glad U'a over." he
said. "Maybe T ran get out a corn
crop at last." The wild sow, over
300 pounds, had destroyed over an
acre-and-a-half of corn in Bridges'
fields this season. It had also killed
a thoroughbred Collie dog and
severe I v maimed another

Accompanying Clary, who led the
capture, were four experienced
hunters from the mountains of
Havwood Countv near \V ivnesvllle
? Billv McCracken. Bill Moore.
Fred GJavich. and Vensnn Kerning
?-and two more Clevelanders ?
Bud Noblitt and Bill Anthony of
Boiling Springs. They used 14
dogs, five airedales. four Red hone
hounds and seven Blue Ticks One
of the mountain hunters, who had
tusks in his belt to nrove his hoar
hunting orowess. said this was the
"meanest hog he had ever seen
hrnuirht in dead or alive "
Over 1.000 hunters in an approxi
!
mate 160 hunting parties have!
made a try for the "wild sow of j
Cleveland" in the past two years
Some had even doubted its exis- |
tence though ^hown erop damage
and told of attacks on farm ani-,
mals.
Amazingly fast, the solid black
I tusker knew how to keep to the
! thickets, elude dogs, and invariably
> hid successfully.
Just before its capture, the wild
sow was seen to bite ofT a pine
|.sapling two inches thick at the
base and rub its belly against the
stob in fury.
Local hunters were obsessed
with getting the bog Ben Clary
even had domestic trouble when
hunting the bog stretched into
months. His wife Julia eame home
for simper orv> evening and supper
was "waiting". She asked if there
was anv meat to go on the table
since Ben was an unusually good
hunter "Not today, honey," said
Ben "There's no hog meat vet."
He wiselv fled to the back porch
when a frying pan sailed through
the air at him.
In captivity now. the hog may
be seen at the hom^ of the Clarys
in Beiiverdnm by anvone curious
to seo a wild sow. But don't get
too close

shutting out the Reynolds Rockets,
8-0.
After a scoreless first quarter,
Bethel went into the lead when
halfback Billy Burress took a Rey

I and sprinted 86 yards to the Rock
ets' four-yard line. On the next
play Daryl Cant plung"d over for
the six-pointer.
In the third quarter, the Blue
Demons added two insurance points

Bethel held a marked edge in
the statistics department?rolling

four, and gaining 120 yards by
rushing to the visitors' 52.
Neither team had any luck on
passes. Reynolds completed only
one of 15 passes, and Bethel was
