It was quite a battle of the "T formation." The Ramblers are ably coached by Eddie Adelman and Appalachian enjoys the cleverness of Coach Qnincy and members of the Mountaineer eleven of Appalachian College. Plays for both teams originated from the Appalachian . college system of play, so, naturally, the game was largely a defensive contest, and one ending with a close score. Captain Jack Groce of the Ramblers won the toss of the coin, and elected to receive. Immediately following the Appalachian kickoff, which was a short one and caught by Tackle Malcolm Gam bill, the Ramblers marched down the field for 70 yards and their first touchdown of the game when Ray Titplett went over for the score. Scrimmage play for the extra point tailed, and the score was: Wilkesboro 6; Appalachian 0. The remainder of the first quarter, as well as the second, saw both teams enable to mark up any worthwhile gains, and the half ended with the Ramblers in the lead by the slim margin of six points. ; • To open the second half, the Ramblers kicked to Boone. Again a defensive game with tm punting to the other. Ramblers, however, pushed ADDalachians back to near line, and then cam* a the game. An Appapunted, one of his own men went over to protect {the kick. As the ball left his toe it struck the player on the back or shoulder and was deflected into the arms <51 Rambler Bill Craig who raced ten yards foi Wilkesboro's second touchdown. Jack Groce, who has a good record for placement kicks, kicked the ball squarely between the goal posts for the extra point. The score being: Wilkesboro 13; Appalachian 0. In the fourth period, AppaI lachian threatened to score, <iarrying the ball to the Ramblers' five-yard where they lost It on downs. This was their most serious scoring threat of the game. The game was one of the best played here this season and attracted one of the largest crowds to wltnes8 a gridiron contest in Memorial Park. Appalachian brought its combined college and high school band, which added much color to the sports event. Pos. Appa. High Wilkesboro LB—Miller —,—. Lowe LT—P.

MOUNTAIN LIONS DEFEAT CHINA GROVE 20-0 IN MHO HERE FRIDAY > * ' North Wilkesboro'8 Mountain Lions, playing valiantly despite a series of Injuries to key players, defeated China Grove 20 to 0 in the mud an<i rain here Friday night. The Lions ran up three touchdowns la the first half and coasted during the second half while the reserves held the visitors from Rowan county scoreless.

The meeting, which was attended by citizens of Wilkes, Surry, Yadkin, Forsyth end Anson counties, was called by the Yadkin Valley Flood Control committee, which voted to enlarge the organisation to lnclode all residents of the Yadkin valley and asked cooperation of all other groups Interested in flood control and proper land use.

Williams, Chamber of Commerce president, and John & Justice, Jr., of North Wllkesboro, | committee chalrmaOi presided, j Motion plotnres were shown by forestry and toll conservation men, each picture showing that flood control should Include proper soli use. The pictures showed that cultivating of steep ; slopes, overgrazing of pastures I on slopes, skinning the land of timber and forest fire8 all have their part in breeding disastrous floods. Three speakers who emphasized these points were Milj ton Bryant, of the Forestry Division of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.; Harvey J. Loughead, "former |lood^i^gol^e^^rt^on Hurst, ' scientist In charge of water research management for the national forest experiment station. *Alan Browning, Elkln newspaperman, showed the meeting some films of flood conditions in Elkln following a heavy rain during the past summer.

Coach Bowers used every available man on. the squad during the latter part of the game and gave hie regulars a well deserved rest. Line play of the Mountain Lions left little to be desired and the way the reserves played must have been pleasing to Coach Bowers. Steelman was in the game part of the time In the backfleld and showed promise of developing into a splendid runner. His defensive work all season has been outstanding. Davis continued his powerful running and blasted the opposing line for many gains. Lineups and summaries: Pos. N. Wilkesboro C. Gpot® Li£—Hadley ..... .
