Team Shifted For Try on Gami
Local Golf Course Played
9,000 Times In 5 Months
Outstanding: Events Held On
Waynesville Country Club
Course This Year
Hy Gordon Hendricks
During the past five months, the
Waynesville Country Club Golf course
has been played approximately 9,000
times, according to Mr. and Mrs. J. M.
Long, owners and managers. Besides
the large number of games played,
some other outstanding events includ
ed: Three tournaments, each drawing
a large list, the course record was
broken by .tack Toomer, pro, and sev
eral exhibition matches were given by
high ranking golfers.
In the Rotary tournament, I'aul An
derson, of Canton, defeated Luther
Curtis, of Waynesville, in the finals
of the first flight, and in the finals of
the annual invitation tournament,
Aaron Prevost, of Waynesville, de
feated Robert Hendricks, also of Way
nesville. The ladies' tournament was
won by Mrs. Cooke, who defeated Mrs.
Mabel Gill.
Jack Toomer added his bit by shoot
ing a 64, which is 8 strokes under par,
to break the course record which he
held. Mr. Toomer also competed in
the Southern open at Charlotte, and
took third place.
It would be difficult to estimate how
much the caddies who worked' for
these golfers were paid, but the base
pay of lit) cents for 9 holes, and tiO
cents for 18 holes was paid each time.
Many persons have the idea that the
caddies work for the Country Club;
they do not, they are employed by
a golfer, to work only for the nunv
ber of rounds which the golfer wishes
to go.
Mr. Long, and his group of workers,
are to be complimented on the excel
lent condition of the course through
out the year, even when around 150
persons a day were playing on it.

Waynesville's defeat at Asheville,
and Canton's victory overy Murphy
has all ('anion talking now . . . and
predicting a Canton victory on Oc
tober lfith . . . there was, however, a
slight difference in the opposition the
two teams faced.
This corner received a letter from
head coach O. C. Roberts, of Mars Hill
college last week, which said in part:
"Athletics in Mars Hill are a 'racket,'
we have no paid players," . . . wonder
how long it will be before all the
colleges in this and other sections can
truthfully say this?
M. II .Howies was elected president
of the Blue Ridge Conference last
week . . . congratulations, Mr. Bowles
. . . Hendorsonvillo and Canton are
going to have the track meet and
basketball tournament again this
year.
The Mountaineers face their first
onference foe this Friday afternoon in
Saluda-Tryon . . . Canton's Black
Bears go up against Mars Hill next
Friday night.

Making Good In
Other Schools
There are several Waynesville bovs
who are making the grade in college
competition on the gridiron, among
them are Cecil Yount, who played a
leading role in the Cu'dowhee-Boiling
Spring contest at Cullowheo last Sat
urday, and James Liner, Fagg Sawyer,
and Joe Shipley, who are alsu at Cul
lowhee. Liner was a reserve on the
Catamount team last year, and is
making a strong bid for a regular
berth; Sawyer has been shifted to
the backfield and Shipley is also a
back.
At State, Bob Wag nfeld is a candi
date for an end position on the varsity
eleven, and Garrett Reeves, a back,
and Joe Cathey, an end, are trying
out for the freshman team.
Yancey Bridges, a former Waynes
ville High star, is out for the New
port News Shipbuilding team, along
with Rufus Summerrow and Harry
Brendle.
Stepping now from the gridiron to
the diamond, how many of you have
been following the career of Lefty
Melton, of Black Mountain, who is
pitching for the New York Giants, and
who is one of their most valued play
ers . . . Lefty has a personal hate for
New York Yankees . . . he'll probably
get his chance for revenge during
the world series.

Poteat's first boxing-wrestling show
last week was a success . . . Just to
make sure that Chief Ropetwister
would be here, Poteat went over to
Cherokee after him , . . it was cer
tainly a relief to see men, and not a
few skinny kids putting on a show.
No Wrestling Or
Boxing This Week
The weekly boxing and wrest
ling show will not be held this
week, according to a statement
made by manager Lester Poteat.
Mr. Poteat gave as his reason
that the show would be moved
to a new location, now that cold
weather is approaching, and that
there would not be sufficient time
to make arrangements for the
type of card which he plans to
put on.
With the added time, the 1 tan
agement hopes to erect lore ring
side seats, and to present an out
standing card.
One of the most enjoyable aspects
of the entire program was the way
that matches were arranged . . . a
local boy against an out-of-towner
the 10-round match, alone, was worth
the price of admission.

a flash of color seemed to reflect

crowd poured into the Asheville Me

Waynesville-Asheville game -
as the orange jerSied Mountain

it certainly was a clean game, and
at the rate Asheville is going, they

MASS1E WINS
In the 10 round boxing spot, Kid
Massie, of Roanoke, Va., had little
trouble with Watson, a member of the
Roundbottom CCC outfit, winning the
match when Watson failed to answer
the bell in the sixth round. Massie
had taken every round up to this
point, and had floored his heavier
opponent in the fourth with a jolting
left to the face. Massie weighed 144,
and the CCC employee 152.
The first wrestling match between
two local boys, "Wolf" Mehaffey and
"Bad Bill" McCall, went to McCall
in 2 minute and 5 seconds of the third
fall. McCall won with a body press

Stamey, local puncher, losing to Dixie
Walker by default after the third

DIKE-DAVIDSON
Duk? plays Davidson at Davidson,
Saturday. J.ast year's score was 13-0,
in favor of Duke.
By Gordon Hendricks.
The Asheville High Maroons found
the opposition very much to their lik
ing in Asheville last Friday afternoon,
as they swamped the Waynesville
Mountaineers before 2,000 persons,
45-0. Led by Hampton, Reid, Jones,
C-oman, and Carter, the Maroons em
ployed a smashing line attack and a
series of passes to cross the goal line
seven limes.
Asheville kicked off to open the
game, and Smith was stopped on his
own. 20 yard line, where three plays
later, he was forced to kick, Hampton
returned the punt to Waynesville's
20 yard line, where Jones carried the
pigskin over on an end run.
In the second quarter the Maroons
scored twice on a forward pass, fol
lowed by a lateral, and once on a
slant off tackle.
LOCALS IMPROVE
The Maroons found a stronger line
awaiting them at the whistle for the
second half, and were stopped in their
tracks in line plays following the
kick-off. The teams exchanged punts,
and Asheville gained 50 yards on the
exchange. The Mountaineers again
stopped the Asheville running attack,
and the Maroons again took to the
air. A pass placed the ball on Way
nesville's 1 -foot line, but Hampton was
thrown for a four yard loss on the
next play. After holding the Maroons
for three down, the Mountaineers
missed Reid as he plunged over tackle
to score.
Asheville scored once more, follow
ing a steady advance down the field,
and neither team was able to do much
the remainder of the game. The
Mountaineers did open up with a pass
ing attack, however, which at times
appeared to be dangerous.
The best individual effort turned
in by the Mountainers was the sur
prisingly fine job which Truitt did at
tackle, Reeve's able handling of the
left half position, and a 30 yard re
turn of a kick-off by Willian McCrack
en in the third quarter.
