The panging arm of little Steve Oabriel and a couple of true placement boftts by Bill Cross, gave Appalachian's Moun taineer* a. 20-18 North State con ference victory over the Lenoir Rhyne Bears last Saturday night. It was a bruising trade of touchdowns all the way with the lead changing four times before Jack GrocCs lashed off tackle to wrap it up for the Apps late in the fourth quarter. Gabriel, the Lincolnton lad who until tonight's game was a third-stringer, pitched strikes all night long. Two of his tosses, one to End Tom Hendrix and the other to Fullback Lester Hardin, gave the mountain boys their first two touchdowns. Jack Groce, a Wilkesboro pro duct whose terrific speed has earned him the nickname of "Jackrabbit," headed the App runners. He personally engineer ed their last tally with quick ex plosions over the middle and some fancy cutbacks. The losing Mountain Bears al so had a passing hero in Tailback C. A. Frye. Sometimes rushed hard by the highly mobile Appa lachian line, Frye still managed to connect on the majority of his pitches. His slingshot arm accounted for all three of the Lenoir Rhyne touchdowns, one to Don Kirk patrick and the other two to Gene Robinson, a swiftie at wingback. The victory keep* Appalachian unbeaten in the oonferencc, only a >4-14 tie with Eton marring an otherwise perfect record. Coach Clarcncc Staiavich's Bear* drew ftr?t blood, racking up their initial score with the gjfne but five minute* along. Starting from their own 43, following Frank Snyder'* pounce on Whitey PropaC* fumble, the home club moved quickly. A 21 yard circle of right end by Fryc and an 11-yard Fryc to Frank Little aerial ate up the moat yardage, Fryc toning the filial 20 to Kirk patjick for the acor*. 8Ulve Trudnak miaaed the point after, paving the way for Appalachian to Uke the load with one minute gone in the aecund quarter. Gabriel ftred 20 yard* to Hendri* and the Char lotte bay took it all alone iii the end zone. Bill Crosa toed the point and the fclUinen led, 7-?. fu And that'i the way the find half ended, aa both ctuha, con centrated on defenae the re mainder of the aecund quarter. (Continued on p?ge four) HEALTH GROUP CITES REED OF GOOD POSTURE DURIHG WEEK ? . National Posture Week Draw* Attention and Comments of District Hea(th Department; Posture Particularly Im portant Now. "Mind and body are closely re lated, and thinking straight about standing, walking and sit ting straight is the first, step to ward the bettor health, appear ance and efficiency that can re sult from better posture," Dr. Mary B. H. Michal, health of ficer said as she announced that Waiauga county was Joining with hundreds of other communities from coast to coast in the 12th annual observance of National Posture Week, October 16 to 21. The yearly call to better pos ture, widely emphasized by special programs in schools, col leges, "Y's", maternity centers, public health groups and other community organizations. is sponsored by the Samuel Hlgby Camp Institute for Better Pos ture, founded by the late S. H. Camp of Jackson, Michigan. Millions of children, and adults arc reached through the Insti tute's posters and booklets, which are distributed without charge through physicians snd other authorities. ? "Make up your mind that you want better posture and your body will coopMate," Dr. Michal said. "This is particularly im portant in this time of national emergency. Of course all wo men and most men are interest ed ih their appearance. The slump, sag and slouch of bad posture are unsightly. But good posture means more than ap pearance. In the cramped posi tion created by poor posture, the lungs find it harder to get the normal quota ot oxygen which the body requires to create ener gy. Unnecessary fatigue can be oM of the results. Normal func tioning of circulation, digestion, elimination and other vital body mechanics can contribute to your health and well-being. "The 'ramrod school' of good posture is long since passed. To day the very essence of good posture is case and grace. Stand (all, walk tail, and sit tali while working, excercising or relaxing. Raise your chest and straighten your back. Mike sure your knees are straight but not stiff and your weight distributed evenfo on both feet. Draw the abdomen in, pulling it back and upward. Keep these things in mind dui ing National Posture Week and every week until they become a habit. In a short time the im proved habits Will produce good results for you. Sec your physi cian if you suspect anything abnormal, and follow his advice."
