Big Crowd Collins, SmithOn All-Confeaence Team The 1937 football season closed in (faynesville Thanksgiving Day with the" Canton Black Bears trimming jie Waynesville Mountaineers by a jjore of 250. Approximately 1,700 'jus were present to witness the an nual affair. The Mountaineers put up a good jjhf until the last .quai-ter of the puie. L anion iiiaue iiuee scores m jiis period and could not De checked sy the locals. The Mountaineers had their first dunce to score in tne early minutes f the pame when Canton fumbled on he ;!0-yard line and Hancock car ried the ball to the six-yard line where Canton held for four down. Canton ticked out of danger, and on a fumble by Milner on the first play recovered the ball. Flynn, Black Bear full back, opened up with an air attack, completing three successive passes, 'a put the ball in a scoring position. The Waynesville boys showed their color by holding Canton on the one- yard line, and immediately kicked out d danger. The first score of the game came about after Holland, Canton back, dashed off tackle for 14 yards and a score. k sr Waynesville had another chance at toe goal in the second quarter, when they advanced to the three-yard line, where Smith fumbled and McClure, of Canton, recovered, The beginning of the second half was more or less a punting duel be- tween Smith and Sams. Both teams wmed to be playing for breaks. The Canton Bears advanced to the yard line where they fumbled and Waynesville recovered to put them in jthe scoring position for the third time in the game as the quarter end- At the beginning of the last tarter Canton plugged up all holes pd Waynesville failed to score. Sams, Canton's kicker, .standing behind his own goal line got off one of the longest kicks ever witnessed on the local gridiron, his kick was good for yards from the line of scrimmage. After Sams' long boot, the Canton tam opened up and during the last few minutes of the game managed to make three scores, completely tramp- the Waynesville boys. The statistics: Waynesville Canton 2 9 UPORT MARION BRIDGES The curtain fell on football last week and it fell with a bang on the local team. The locals really got the socks walloped off them in the Can ton game. It was the opinion of I some of the fans in and around ! Waynesville that the locals would ! win but they didn't. My hat is off to Canton, they had a mighty good team this season, in fact the best I that has been produced in many years.' ... All-American All-E very thing! If any title might adequately cover the accomplishments of Byron "Whizzer" White, senior at Col orado university, it would be "All American All-Everything". Be sides being the nation's leading scorer and one of the most sensa tional football players of all tune. White Is president of his student council, a Phi Beta Kappa, an all-A student, Rhodes scholar and still finds time to work himself through school ! The Waynesville boys put up a splendid scrap up to the last few minutes' of the game, but some signs of weakening were evident, and Can ton really took advantage. of that. One thing out of the ordinary in the game was to see the Mountaineers get past the ton yard stripe four times and not score. This is some thing that seldom happens to any team that Weatherby produces. They may fail once in a while to cross the double line, but to fail four times straight in one game is most unusual. And to think this happened in the Canton-Waynesville game. The fans, of which there must have been between 1,700 and 2,000, were orderly with the exception of two men that had to take a crack at each other along about the last of the game. One thing that impressed me was that very few people paid any attention to the affray. In days gone by it was not much of a ball game between Waynesville and Canton un less there were several fights on the sidelines. Chafin Lands On Second Team Of B. K.
