Shoving over both their tallies in the first half, the Catamounts showed some outstanding grid tal ent in backs Tommy Selzer of Hendersonville, Jay Hooper of ? x Robbinsville, Paul Rogers of Mooresville, and several others. The Maroons, completely out classed by the Cats in the first two periods, came back strong in the last half to hold the Jayvees score less. The first Catamount TD was marked by Selzer in the opening period after taking the kickoff and driving from mid-field. Hooper and Rogers plowed through the j line and around the ends to pushj the pigskin up to the 14 yard marker. Then Selzer slipped a round left end for 13 yards leav ing the ball on the one-yard-line. On the next play Selzer plunged off tackle to pay dirt.

Night From the Inside Out" By Dob Terrell About 2,000 fans liked what 'hey Sv.vv lask Friday night at Mark Watson Field. It looks as if Sylva as a football team now that it can be proud of. Coach James Barn Well seems to have done tne impossible in shaping up the team n so iit.le time. Their T-forma-' tion worked smoothly and the line was tight ;s a drum. Huytsv...t lost yardage in their attemp.ed line plunges. They gained it in the air. But we have a feeling that that w.ll be remedied belore long. When Sylva switched irom a 6 to a 5 man line wnen Hayes ville was at tne :>eak ol tr.ei/ pass ing at'ack, it stopped their aerials cold. Hayesville's Bobby Cunning ham (the one man g-ng) proved to be a triple threat man, and a go d one at that. He alone held the team together and sparked it ; long its touchdown drive. He's one ol the best b. cks we've seen in a i small high school in a long wnile But it seems that the Sylva game was his last, sir.ce he comes under :he Smoky Mountain conference inelig.biiity rules.
