Waynesville Girls
Win Tournament
Of B. R. Conference
Playing a consistent game of good
basketball, Waynesville's great sixtet,
represented by Welch, Burres-s, Rog
ers, Milner, Phillips, and Jones,
marched to the head of the first Blue
Riuge conference basketball tourna
ment at Canton and brought to their
school Saturday night one of the most
beautiful trophies to ever be won by
a Mountaineer team.
Winning two games in their natural
stride and playing under wraps,
Coach Weatherby's girls found them
selves facing their ancient rival
Canton for the final game Saturday
night. Led1 by Captain Welch, the
Mountaineers piled up thirty points to
the opponents three in the first half,
and went on to win an easy game by
the final score of 40-15.
The local girls reached the finals by
defeating Swannanoa 39-5 and Saluda
Tryon 2ti-13.
I Coach Weatherby's team scored 105
points while their three opponents
1 made only 33, thus stamping them
i selves as one of the greatest outfits
to ever wear the Mountaineer uni
! forirus.
j Captain Sara Well h, clearly the out-
standing player in the tournament,
was high scorer with forty-seven
points.
Messer, Raines, Wyatt, and Winkler
played in all tournament games and
deserve much credit for the splendid
showing made by the Mountaineers.
To win the tournament in the boys'
division, Swannanoa cored forty-six
points to their opponents thirty
three, defeating Waynosviile 19-3,
Saluda-Tryon 17-9, and Canton 10-15.
The Mountaineers were eliminated in
their second game after they had de
feated Biltmore 12-7. guttles with
twenty points was high scorer in the
boys' games.
Receiving outstanding mention in
the tournament were Welch, Jones,
Phillips, Burress, Smith, and Cathey
of Waynesville, Suttles and lioitzclaw
of Canton, Jackson and Griffith of
Biltmore, Patton ami VaUineourt of
Swannanoa, and Davis of 'Mars Hill.

By JEAN AAJLEN
International Illustrated NtHci Writer
ALTON, 111. Now towering eight
feet four Inches, Robert Wadlow of
Alton, 111., who recently celebrated
his 18th birthday, la assured of be
coming the world's tallest man In
history before his next birthday.
Wadlow's nearest rival for the
distinction is the famed "Irish giant",
Charles O'Brien, who measured eight
feet four and one-half Inches In
height before he died in 1783 at the
age of 23. If Wadlow reaches a
height of eight feet five inches, which
is almost certain before his next
birthday on Feb. 22, 1837, he will
I have established a new record.
', Youth Studying Law
I Yet it is not a distinction to which
the youth aspires. lie is a shy re
' tiring sort of chap who shuns the
curiosity aroused by his height. lie
; has refused numerous attractive
offers from vaudeville and circuses
although his family are only in
modest circumstances.
Wadlow's ambition is to be a law
, yer and live a life as near normal as
! his size permits. He is now a fresh
man at Shurtleft college in Alton and
has an excellent scholastic record.
His choice of law as a career was
determined by his belief that his size
would handicap him least in that
field.
Although he weighed only nine
pounds at birth, Robert began to
grow rapidly before he was a year
old. Ills growth had been .steady and
gradual. During the past year he
shot up four inches and is expected
to grow two or three inches more
before his next birthday.
Wadlow Weigh 390
His proportions are in comparison
to his height. He weighs 390 pounds,
wears a size 39 shoe, an eight ami
one-half hat and takes a coat with
a sleeve length of nearly U0 inches.
His wardrobe Is far from a minor
item in tho Wadlow family budget
since even a pair of shoes for Robert
costs $85. ' .
Despite his size, however, young
Wadlow lacks the strength one might
popularly associate with a giant.
His rapid growth has not been ac
companied by normal muscular co
ordination and development. As a
consequence, he must guard himself
from undue exertion, severe strain or
hazardous falls which might cause

grave complications to his physique
while not disturbing an ordinary
person.
Relative All Normal
His appetite Is almost as much
above normal as his size. Half a
dozen eggs, generous helpings of
fruit, cereal and toast constitute a
normal breakfast and his 'food '-consumption
for a day runs nearly three
times that of a normal person.
His size Is attributed to over
activity of the pituitary gland
which lies at the base of the skull.
His parents and brothers and sisters
are of normal size and no other
members of the family on either side
have shown any tendency to ab
normality. History records numerous instances
of individuals growing to great
height, some even having been re
ported In excess of nine feet, but
there is ho authentic instance of
anyone taller than the "Irish giant"
whose skeleton is preserved In the
Royal College of Surgeons in London.
