There weren't renlly any Okln- <
lionia players in those gold and I
black uniforms at WTHS stadium .
Friday night, but you might have j
an awfully hard time convincing]
Owen lligh of that fact.
Even if the Sooners had been in
action, the Warhorses from Bun
combe County could scarcely have j
done any worse In four quarter1- ]
of play the backfield of the Blue
Ridge Conference's No. 3 team
picked up a grand total of 17 yards
rushing! That, according to our
grade-school arithmetic, figures
out as an average of four and a
fourth yards per quarter
At the same time the Warhorses
uiln> going nowhere, the Moun
taineer bark1- were rutting the
Owen line into confetti for 16 first
downs and 250 yards rushing. The
visitors were able to manage only
two first downs during the pigskin
fuss
Waynesville scored two touch
downs in both the second and
third periods. Owen never got
Closer to the Waynesville goal
than the 27
The first quarter was scoreless
although both teanis threatened
once. On the second play of the
game Waynesville fumbled, and i
the Warhorses recovered on the
VVTI1S 34 One play went for no
gain, the next one lost one, and
Owens W'ville. j

But on fourth down, the visitors
punted in to the end zone and
WavnesviMe took over on their j
own 20
From that point, a jump pass f
from Sam Lane to Tom Sparks \
and runs by Neal Palmer, Hugh j
Orasty, and Caroll Hooper took
the ball to the'Owen 9. However.,
after a penalty for backfield in :
motion, an incomplete pass and
two runs failed to pick up enough i
yardage for a first dow n and the ,
Warhorses took over on their own j

Unable to gain. Owen punted to
Waynesvtlle on the visitors' 44 and
the Mountaineers started another
drive which carried all the way to
the Owen 4
Unable to get out of the hole,
the Warhorses punted (o Hooper ;
who returned the ball to midfield. I
On the first play from sci'tmmagc,
sophomore Jack Holder found a
big hole over left tackle and
scampered 45 yards before be'ng
pulled down on the six Two plays
later. Holder shot through another
hole and went Into the end /one
for Waynesville's first touchdown^
Orasty's plunge for the extra
point was no good.
After taking the kickoff, Owen
again found Itself stalled and
punted to Hooper, who ran 50
yards through the entire maroon
clad team for a touchdown, but
the run was called back and Woy
nesvillo penalized.
The respite for Owen was only
temporary, however, as the Moun
taineers cranked up their offense
and started goalward again from
the OHS 47
After two first downs had been
picked up on the ground, Lane hit
Sj-arks with a pass which carried
to the one-yard line Two plays
later. Palmer split the line for the
second WTHS touchdown and
Holder plunged over for the extra
point
Owen took the kickoff opening
the second half, but the Warhorses
found their luck had not improved
any during the halftime and punt
ed to Wavnesvtlle. After Palmer
rammed through the line to the
Owep lfi, end Jimmy Fowler
caught a pass down to the five On
the next play. Palmer went right
up 'he middle for the touchdown.
Orasty's plunge for the extra point
was stopped short.
Owen took the next kickoff and
fumbled two plays later, with end
Jack Lewis recovering for Way

looked like the WTHS drive would

Mountaineers back temporarily,
