Mountaineers Whip. Try on 18 'A
First Conference
Game Of Season
For Local Players
Game Played In Steady Rain.
Improvements Noted In All
Departments Of Team
The Waynesville Mountaineers,
making their 1937 Blue Ridge Confer
ence debut, whipped the Tryon-Sa-luda
eleven here last Friday in the
rain, 18-0. The Mountaineers piled
up a total of 13 first downs, as com
pared to only 3 for the opposition, and
outplayed the visitors in every de -partment
of play.
Tryon kicked off to "waynesville to
open the game, and John Reeves re
turned the ball to the 40-yard line, be
fore Green, the man who kicked the
ball, downed him. Then, on a series
of line plays, the Mountaineers car
ried the pig-skin down the field to
the 1-foot line, where Smith carried
it over on an off-takle slant. ' A pass,
Smith to Bill Phillips, was completed,
but a penalty robbed the Mountaineers
of the extra point.
Truitt kicked off to Tryon on the
next play, and the Tryon back was
stopped on the 31-yard line. After
two futile thrusts at the Waynesville
line, Green punted for Tryon, and
Smith returned the ball to his own
47-yard line, as the quarter ended.
LOCALS SCORE ON PASS
After two attempts at the line,
Reeves dropped back and passed to
Smith, who crossed the goal line
standing up for Waynesville's second
score. Reeves failed to pick up the
necessary yardage for the extra point

Waynesville again kicked off to
Tryon, and for the remainder of the
second period the teams baffled on
about even terms; then entire Way
nesville second team was on the field
when the whistle for the half sounded.
Waynesville received the kick-off
as the second half started, and for a
quarter the Mountaineers threatened,
but never scored A beautiful 22
yard run by Smith, and a 15-yard
thrust at the line by Reeves featured
the play for the period.
The Mountaineers drove to Tryon's
20-yard line, where they were held
for downs as the final quarter got
underway. But on the first play that
Tryon-attempted to run, Parker fum
bled, and Chafin recovered for Way
nesville. Smith lost 4 yard on a re
verse play, but a pass, Reeve to
Smith, placed the ball on the 2-yard
line. Bill Phillips carried the oval to
within 6 inches of the last white line,
and Reeves carried it over on a line
play. A pass, Smith to Bill Phillips
was completed for the extra poin,
but Herman ruled that Phillips step
ped outside on the play. ' ,
TRYON THREATENED
Truitt again sent another long kick
off down the field on the next play, and
after Tryon had opened a futile pass
ing attack, the Mountaineers held for
downs. Waynesville pass was picked
off by Heatherly, of the Tryon team,
and the visitors went as far as the
Mountaineer's 7-yard line before being
halted. Waynesville kicked out of
danger to end the threat, A 55-yard
run by Reeves was called back be
cause of ah off-sides during this final
period.
Outstanding players for last week's
game were: Smith, Reeves, Bill and

Pardon a bit of personal opinion,
but the way this corner looks at it, the
Blue Ridge Conference title lies be
tween Waynesville and Canton this
year. But Mars Hill looks rather
tough .... by the way, which of those
two Canton-Waynesville games count
in the standings, or do both?

be allowed to participate.
The announced hunt is the outcome
of careful investigation by state and
federal authorities which reveals that
the preserve is heavily overstocked
and the welfare of the herd demands
continued reduction to prevent star
vation and disease. The distinct
"deer-line" is in evidence, and severe
losses as well as irreparable damage
to timber and watershed protection
are already evident. The general
public is therefore to be given an
opportunity to benefit by this surplus
supply.
The Pisgah National Game Pre
serve has been under the administra
tion of the U. S. Forest Service for
the past 23 years. The magnificent
deer herd now on the areas is the
result of dilligent and careful man
agement in accordance with the es
tablished policy of the U. S. Forest
Service to manage the national for
ests, not only to produce timber and
protect watersheds, but for other ben
efits to the public, such as hunting,
fishing and recreation, which are de
veloped under multiple use plans.
14,000 acres of wilderness forest
will be open to sportsmen who really
want to rough it. Here they will be
allowed to hunt and camp on their
own. Hunting under these conditions
must necessarily be arduous and
strenuous, and the Forest Service re
commends that only persons in excel
lent physical condition make applica
tion for hunting in these wilderness
areas.
The Forest Service anticipates ap
plications from sportsmen to be well
in excess of the allowable, 2,500 and
early request for applications should
be made. Formal application blanks
and complete instructions regarding
the hunt may be secured from the
forest Supervisor, Pisgah National
Forest, Arcade building, Asheville.
Successful applicants Will be, required
to possess either a resident or non
resident State of 'orth Carolina li
cense in addition to the special co
perative tharge.
A Wisconsin man is dead at the ase
of 102. He was probably one of the
very few men in the world who never
