Apps Lose To Quakers In Final Seconds Of Play A tight defensive secondary allowed Guilford to explode a seemingly impossible bomb last Thursday at Greensboro for a 16-13 victory over Ap palachian’s stunned Moun taineers. As had been the case in four previous games this sea son, the Apps appeared to have locked up a win. But again the foe was able to con nect on the big play which turned a looming defeat into triumph. Coach Carl Messere’s Apps held a 13-9 advantage with just 15 seconds left to play. Guilford owned ball posses sion at the ASTC 42, thanks to a 15-yard penalty against the Mountaineers. Everyone in the stadium knew that the Quakers were going to try to connect on a long pass. When the ball was snapped for play, Guilford halfback Tommy Grayson found no trouble in running past Appalachian’s defensive backfield which had set up a scant distance from the scrim mage line. Grayson, all alone at the ASTC 10, easily hauled in Ed Brockwell’s towering pass and danced across the Apps’ goal with seven seconds show ing on the clock. The mean ingless extra point kick up ped the final margin to 16 13 as the dejected Mountain eers again saw an apparent victory slip from their grasp. Grayson had scored the in itial Guilford touchdown early in the first quarter on a six-yard rip through the middle. The score was set up when ASTC was able to re turn the opening kickoff only Sports Quiz 1. Who won the Harvard Yale game? 2. Who won the UCLA Southern Cal. game? 3.

Guilford’s other two points came on a second-quarter safety which was the result of a bad center snap on an Ap palachian punting attempt from its own six. The loss ended ASTC’s sea son with a record of three wins, six defeats and one tie. The tie game and four of the losses were games which Appalachian should have won. In each of those five contests, the Mountaineers gained more yardage from scrimmage and led their opponents late in the fourth quarters. Newberry scored late for a 15-14 decision, Catawba eked out an 18-17 verdict with a field goal with three seconds left to play, Carson-Newman gained a 14-14 tie with a touchdown and a two-point conversion pass with 37 sec onds left, Presbyterian hit on a fourth-down pass for a 21-17 win in the final moments, and then Guilford rally met with success with only seven sec onds showing on the score board clock. By the games’ statistics, on ly Lenoir-Rhyne and Emory & Henry were better teams than the 1966 Apps. A final record of 8-2 would more re semble what should have re sulted this fall. The 3-6-1 record was the third worst over Appalach ian’s 37-year football history. The 1952 team was 2-6-1, and the 1945 club was 1-6-1. / ECHOES OF THE BLUE RIDGE Watauga’s Winter Sports Drawing National Notice BY HERMAN W. WILCOX Watauga County winter sports are drawing national attention. Many outstanding speakers are referring to our mountains and what this area is doing to promote year round entertainment. John Harden Speaks Mr. Harden, President of John Harden Associates of Greensboro recently spoke to the North Carolina Travel H. W. WILCOX council, ana brought some most reveal ing informa tion — “There is a dire need for better food all over North Caro lina, this goes for motels and service stations, too; re member people come where they are invited, but they stay where they are entertained. Remember that a bad 10 cent cup of coffee can wreck a million dollar advertising bud get.” Harden spoke of the im portance of training your help so they will know all about your attractions. They should realize that part of their job is to make everyone welcome and want to stay longer. Every service station operator should take pains in educating their help so they can help sell the entire area to those they wait on. Skiing In The Mountains Mr. Harden went on to tell the Council about some out standing attractions in the State. These attractions should be promoted through local or ganizations. “Do all you real ize that North Carolina is the southernmost state in which skiing is possible? Those of you, who haven’t done so should go up for a look at our ski slopes during the win ter. Bus loads from as far away as Atlanta, Birmingham and Jacksonville come to North Carolina to enjoy win ter sports.” You can see this principle at work all around you in the North Carolina travel picture. Look at Tryon Palace, Grandfather Moun tain, Tweetsie Railroad, etc. The key to success of the travel industry, as elsewhere, is cooperation. All phases must work together. There’s strength and success in unity. “What these remarks add up to is an effort to point up the need to light a new spark of unit; of purpose in the North Carolina Travel Council — More unity than has been pre viously displayed. North Car olina has a good press agent; need of financial assistance is hampering this organiza tion and something should be done to lend them a hand. What About Watauga Are we found wanting in our co-operation? Everyone wants prosperity, but every one is not ready for complete dedication in building our county travel and recreation facilities to meet the demand. One example is our failure to build an airport that will handle commercial planes. If such an airport were avail able it would not be long un tfl we coma nave passenger carrying plane* landing tee, at least on a seasonal beats Rutherwood 4-H Qub Holds Meeting *'■ The Rutherwood 4-H Clab met Not. 14 at Rutherwood Baptist Church.
