LANT ON PORTU MARION BRIDGES Two seasons open this week in the sports field squirrel season for the hunter and the football season for the gridiron fans. Both of these sports are headliners in this community, and both will have plenty of followers for the next two or three months. The squirrel season opened this morning, and the football season opens tomorrow (Friday) with the Waynesville Mountaineers journeying to Asheville to try and even up a 4D to u score 01 last season THE MOUNTAINEER'S PORT PAGE Completely Co The Local v Field Ports Page 10 Edited By Marion T. Bridges THRpATsFMgg Mountaineers Open With Ashevill Whether the Waynesville boys will live up to their pledge to beat Ashe ville cannot be determined until the ast whistle is blown and the game is over. The local boys are in the pink of condition, but the reserves are scarce. Asheville has a good team this year, having such a large number of prospective players to select from. No matter how the score goes in the Asheville game, the fans of Waynes ville are backing the team 100 per cent, and will be on hand Friday, the 23rd to see the first home game of the season with Andrews. This county was brought face to face with one of the unsolved mys teries of life this past week, when the grim reaper stalked in and snatch ed a promising young athlete from his loved one. Andrew Robinson, a likeable Can ton student, had donned a football uniform, and was getting ready to enter practice, when stricken with a fatal heart attack. The young man died on the athletic field, as newspapers have headlined, and too many people perhaps stopped with the headlines and read no furth er, but eagerly and freely comment ed on football "the dangerous game," Hunters Take To Woods As Season Opened This A. M. Reports On Squirrels This Seas on Are Conflicting; Bag Limit Is Ten A Day To have one of their members snatched from them so suddenly, and under Such conditions, will at best, pray upon the members of the Black Bear team. Yet, such will not be shown when the team takes the field if anything, they will have the mem ory of their departed comrade at heart, and will put forth more de termination and effort to win. Black Bears And Wildcats To Scrap In Night Game C. C. Poindexter's Canton Black Bears are all set to tangle with th An drews Wild Cats Friday night under the arcs. According to reports coming from Canton, the Bears have a stronger team this season than the one last year that took the Blue Ridge Con ference. The 19,'57 Black Bears suf fered only one defeat. The team is in good condition for the game Friday night, and will' give Andrews eleven plenty of competition. The squirrel season officially open ed this morning, with a number of local sportsmen out in the woods try ing their luck on the little fuzzy tails. Pie-season reports from the best hunting grounds are conflicting some report plenty of squirrels, while others say there is a decided scarcity. The hunters of the county find this sport satisfying, and any morning at the break of day any number can be found in some wooded spot waiting for the squirrel to arise and start their day in search of food. It has been known in Haywood that some of its less sportsman-like hun ters, pay no attention to the size of the nut gatherers, or to the bag limit, and stay in the woods until they get all the squirrels they can see. The bag limit of ten a day will make the squirrel last a lot longer and give everyone a chance to try his skill with the gun. At this time it would be timely to give caution to hunters. Hunting is dangerous, especially where there are several in the party, a wild shot can sometime be disastrous. Some hunters are so anxious to get a shot, that even if a bush moves they will shoot. Also a lot of domestic animals roam the wooded areas, these should be looked out for. If a landowner gives permission to hunt on his property, the hunters should take care of that property and not destroy it in any way. If a little common sense will be used in hunting, everyone will enjoy the sport more. Tearful Parting For This Boy Gridiron Season Opens On Saturday Two of North Carolina's big five football teams will open their season Saturday, along with several minor teams.

Hunters Required To Carry Positive Identifications Cleveland man's life was saved when a robber's bullet was deflected by a metal cigaret case in his pocket. This, possibly, shows the trend of times. Similar news items have ap peared in the public prints for many years, but always in the good old days, the bullet was deflected by a Bible. Hunters who fail to carry positive indentification as to their residence, in addition to their hunting license, may be subject to considerable diffi culty in the field this fall, according to John D. Chalk, Commissioner of Game and Inland Fisheries. Commis sioner Chalk said that every attempt will be made during the coming hunt ing season to catch those individuals who have for years secured their hunting license under false pretense. Every officer in the field has been instructed to ask for positive iden tity, failing which steps will be taken to prohibit hunting until proper iden tity is established. North Carolina sportsmen do not go hunting or fish ing without first equipping them selves with proper licenses, but all hunters and fishermen are not sports men; therefore, it is necessary for game proctectors to check licenses clearly. The manufacturers are experiment ing with rubber made from potatoes. Why not make it from sweet potatoes, hen we could use the old inner tubes for chewing gum?
