Anderson imsiiaimiMaiiniMiiiaamaamiiii i(iaiitinitaaaaaataaaaaiiaaetaaiiaaaMil«J * Rambling With The Sports Editor BEAT HENDERSONVILLE >. . . “Beat Hendersonville” is the cry you hear around Brevard this week, especially at Brevard high school. And after watching the Blue Devils roll up 90 points in two games, many local sport fans actually believe Brevard can win the game. However, the Bearcats are favored by 13 points. The game should be a free scoring one, since both teams have much offensive punch. Defensively, the Bearcats appear to have the edge, since they outweigh the Brevard line 20 pounds to the man. In the backfield, Hendersonville is built around one man — Bob Elliott, who carried the ball three fourths of the time against Enka last Saturday night. Brevard, on the other hand, has four good running backs, and our kicker, Wayne Babb, is head and shoulders above our Friday night opponents. Wayne probably ^et some ^ort of a record last Friday night when he kicked eight straight extra points. And should Bre vard’s running and passing attack bog down, Wayne can split those uprights with field goals, ’Nuff said. HUNTING IN THE AIR . . . The recent cool spell caused hunters in Transylvania and throughout Western North Carolina to get out their guns and start making plans for the hunting season. The US For est service and the NC Wildlife Resources commission have mailed out application blanks for the big game still hunts, and they can also be acquired at the ranger’s office here in the Pisgah National forest. The season opens on November 19th. with advance application not re quired after the first day, and it closes on December 1st. EXPECTING GOOD SEASON . , . From all reports deer hunting should be good this fall. Signs point to more and larger deer in the forest this year than in many, many years. Preparatory to the hunting season, the wildlife resources commission has published a pamphlet concerning the management areas and ,much space is giv en to the Pisgah. Our preserve here is said to be the forerunner of all other western wildlife management areas. Two paragraphs in the article are worthy of reprinting and are as follows: “When George Vanderbilt bought the preserve in the late 1800’s, the western part of the State was practically devoid of deer. Mr. Van derbilt imported northern stock to build up the remnant residual herd, and his careful protection was continued by the United States Forest Service and subsequently by the Wildlife Resources Commis sion. The intensive logging conducted during the 1920’s resulted in literally thousands of acres of dense forest reproduction which con stitute excellent deer range. This, in turn, was the basis for the build up of the tremendous deer herds in the late 30’s. The black ton gue disease cutbreak which struck in 1938 and 1939, together with growth of the forest beyond the deer browse stage, has resulted in a substantial decrease in the population from its peak years. Cur rently, systematic logging followed by timber stand improvement cut ting by the Forest Service iand browse cutting by the Wildlife Resour ces Commission, together with the many acres of supplemental foods in the form of pasture plantings contribute to sustaining the popula tion at as high a level as possible. In addition to deer hunting, which still constitutes the major at traction of the Pisgah area, there is also provided good squirrel, grouse, raccoon and opossum hunting. Peer hunting on the Pisgah area is different from that on most of the others in that the hunter is also allowed to take bear. Another outstanding feature of the Pis gah is wilderness hunting on Big Creek pnd Cantrell Creek. These are relatively remote sections which attract those who prefer hunt ing under primitive conditions. Camping facilities for those who wish to hunt on a daily checkin basis are available near the checking sta tions on Davidson River, North Mills River, Bent Creek and Pisgah Ledge. t 1 Brevard Bowling League Gets Underway.

Head Coach Wayne Bradiburn used “every man on the bench”, and the score could have been much larger than it was. In fact, two touchdowns of the Blue Devils were called back because of pen alties. Brevard led 28-0 at halftime, and racked up 28 more points in the second period. Larry Pickelsimer, who played a beautiful ball game at the quar terback slot, handed off on the second play from scrimmage to Captain Cecil Lowery who scooted 55 yards to score. Reynolds fumbled in the open ing moments of the game and Bre vard recovered. On the first play Pickelsimer handed off to Charles Winchester who ran from there for the second touchdown. Brevard drove to the eight in the second quarter and Winchester carried a handoff the remaining eight to score. Later in the period, an intercepted pass resulted in Brevard’s having possession on the Reynolds nine. A penalty carried back to the 21 but Jack Thomas ran across from there. Lowery carried the second half kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown to open the third period. Iryban Low ery recovered a blocked kick a few moments later on the Reynolds one-yard line and Phil Moody plun ged for a score. Later in the period, Winchester intercepted a pass and returned it j 15 yards to the Reynolds 10. A five yard penalty moved the ball back to the 15 from where Wayne Babb scored. Pickelsimer plunged one yard for the final score. Babb highlighted the game by kicking eight straight extra points.
