Speaking
Of Golf
BY JOB HAPUS
We are receiving entries daily
for the tenth annual Blue Ridge
Pro-Am which is scheduled for
the local course Sept. 11 and 12.
Some of the outstanding pro
fessionals from the Carolinas
Section who have entered are:
Tom Case, Greensboro; Avery
and Larry Beck, Whispering
Pines; Ken Folkes, Kinston;
Hampton Auld, Raleigh; Cliff
Collins, Hendersonville; Al
Goodrich, Goldsboro; Joe
Cheves, Morganton; and of
course local favorites Bill
Greene from Wilkes boro and
Bruce Sudderthand Larry Gragg
of Blowing Rock. As of Monday
evening, we had received en
tries from around 25 profess
ionals. We expect a full field
of at least 36 teams by early
next week.
As of now, we have what
would appear to be enough lo
cal amateurs signed up for
this tournament. Ifcwever, if
you would like to play, put your
name on the standby list which
is posted on the board. We al
most always have one or two
drop-outs right up to tee time
and welcome people on standby.
Last week was “eagle week”
on the local course or so W
would seem since four were re
ported. Glenn Cottrell and Mack
Stroupe made eagle three’s on
the par-five sixth hole and Al
lan Wagner did likewise on our
second hole. Then along came
“big*’ Charlie Robertson with
a huge tee shot followed by a
flip nine iron into the hole for
an eagle two on the par-four
13th hole.
Qualifying for our Club Match
Play Championship really pick
ed up over the weekend with the
number of players more than
doubling during that time. With
the qualifying round runnir*
through Sunday, Sept. 15, there
is still plenty of time for every
one to enter. Allan Wagner is
the new early leader for medal
ist honors with rounds of 75
73 for a total of 148 with other
scores running all the way to
188 and we can expect some
better and some worse before
it is over.
Next week, the North Caro
lina Open at the Maggie Val
ley Country Club and the Boone
Golf Club will be represented
by Sam Adams and myself. To
tal purse is expected to run
around $5,000.
Largest Purse Being
Offered In Pro-Am
The largest purse in the his
tory of the Blue Ridge Pro-Am
Golf Tournament will be of
fered at this year’s event
scheduled for Sept. 11-12 on

the purse to celebrate the tour
nament’s 10th anniversary. The
total purse, including entry fees,
will be approximately $3,800.

man teams to constitute a dif
ferent format from last year
when the tournament operated
with four-member teams.

champion, Bob Galloway, is
slated to seek his second
straight title.

More Boys Needed
For Midget Football
Jim Hastings, Boone Recrea
tion Director and Commissioner
of the intent Midget Football
League, said that some 45more
boys are needed to fill positions
on team rosters.
He said that individual teams
have not been selected as yet
and that when the number of
registered boys reaches a work
able figure, assignments can
be made.
Boys must be in the sixth,
seventh or eighth grades and
must not have reached their
14th birthday by Oct. 15. There
is no weight limit in the league.
All equipment is furnished with
the exception of shoes and
mouthpieces and these may be

phone at the recreation office
(264-9511) or stop by the office
located upstairs in the bus ter
minal.
TENNIS HOPEFULS—Bob Light, coach of the local junior
tennis team, feels that these two boys have a lot of potential
as tennis players and their showing in the recent State Junior
Tennis Tournament played in Wilmington may well back up his
hopes. Bob Light, left, made it to the semi-finals in age ten
and under play, and teamed with a Charlotte player went to the
finals in doubles competition. Also pictured is Mike Owen, who
made it to the quarter-finals in this tournament. In the Western
North Carolina Junior Singles Championship played in Hickory,
Mike swept first place for the second straight year. Coach
Light said, “Both boys are sure to be rated high when state
rankings are released later this year/*

27 ASU Lettermen Will
Meet For Grid Practice
Twenty-seven lettermen will
be among the largest number of
players ever to assemble for
the opening of fall football prac
tice when pre-season drills
commence Monday at Appala
chian State University.
Head Coach Carl Messere
expects about 125 players for
the opening session—a marked
increase from the number he
inherited in 1965 when only 17
showed up for spring drills.
The 65 varsity candidates, in
/ addition to the 60 hopefuls who
will be seeking berths on Ap
palachian’s first freshman team
in history, will undergo twice
a-day drills from Monday up to
the opening game at Newberry
the night of Sept. 21.
The Mountaineers, who won
seven of 10 battles a year ago,
will be welcoming the return
of star tailback Jack Roten,
who missed eight contests in
1967 due to injury. Also re
turning are ace quarterback
Pat Murphy, hard-running full
back Dwight Kerr, speedy end
Bob Agie and rugged offensive
guard Bob Russell. All five
gained All-Carolinas Confer
ence honors before Appalachian
withdrew from the league last
spring.
Two additions to the coaching
staff have been made since
last year. BUI McDevitte, form
er Catawba College quarter
back, will serve as head fresh
man coach. Jim Daye. an ex
graduate assistant for the Appa,
"111 be defensive line coach.
The returning assistant
coaches are Jack Groce, who
handles the offensive backs; Bill
Church who tutors thedefensive
backs; and Richard Tickle who
I
lectures the offensive linemen.
Messere, whose three-year
record stands at 15-14-1, ex
pects to have an explosive
team which should at least
match the 34-touchdown total
produced last season.
“The real key to our success
in 1968 will lie in the improve
ment of our defense,” he notes.
“We are hopeful that various
changes of personnel will make
the defensive unit stronger.*’
