The World Series, between the
Chicago Cubs and the New York
Yankees, was short and sweet this
year, with the Yankees taking four
straight games from the Cubs.
The Yankees did not fool around
with the Cubs in either of the four
games, which makes them the cham
pions of all champions in world se
ries. This is the first time in the
history of the series that a team has
won the title three times in a row,
which makes them more than a series
winner, but a champion winner.
The Yankee catcher, Bill Dickey,
made the statement that he was going
home and get the old birddog and the
shot gun and spend some time in the
fields hunting quail. That is a good
idea, and if he is as good with the gun
as he is behind the bat, we pity the
little feathered creatures.
With the series over the nation will
become football minded and attend
ance at football games will undoubt
edly increase, The attendance at
several of the games played this past
week were not so small, as over 30,000
witnessed the Fighting Irish take the
trimmings off of the Rambling
Wrecks from Georgia Tech; about
24,000 attending the game between the
Duke Blue Devils and Colgate in
Rochester.

Quarterback Croom, For Green

Speed; Score 13-0
This past week's college games
were some of the closest in the his
tory of football. Duke won their
game by a 7 to 0 score, with the last
few minutes of the game were en
tirely in the favor of the Colgate
eleven, as they started to march in
the air down to the very shadow of
Duke's goal posts. Here is where
the Blue Devils really strutted their
stuff when they held the Yankees
from Colgate from scoring.
Another close affair was between
Columbia and the Cadets of the
West Point. Here Columbia man
aged to take the Army by a 20 to 18
score. Wake Forest managed to nose
out South Carolina, 20 to 19, while
the Tulane eleven took the Tar Heels
at Chapel Hill 17 to 14 in an upset.
Back to the local side of the foot
ball picture, the Mountaineers seem
ed to be at a loss as to what to do
without their star fullback, Bill Mil
ner. He was missed, both on the of
fense and defense. The Grcenie's of
fense could not be stopped.
The coming game of the week here
next Friday is the first of a two
game series for the county champion
ship, this is the game that has long

The Green Wave from Christ
School smeared the Mountaineers and
their new jersies of orange and black
all over the local athletic field here
last Friday, as a small crowd looked
on.
The Greenies from Arden put 13
points in the bag and went back home,
while the Weatherby and Ratcliff boys
were left holding a big goose egg,
and longed for the early return of
their plunging fullback Bill Milner,
who was out doctoring an infected
foot.
The visitors brought with them a
flashy quarterback in Croom, who was
ail over the field, and who tallied all
the points of the day.
It was Croom who led the march
in the first period from his 20-yard
to the goal. Early in the last quarter,
this same pig-skin toter shot around
his right end for 65 yards and an
other six points.
Early in the third period, the Moun
taineers mustered up strength to
threaten a score, but when they reach
ed the eleven-yard line, the Greenies
set up a concrete wall and put up a
"no-crossing" sign and held for downs.
The Mountaineers put Knight in as
a backficldcr, instead of guard, on the
the hopes of getting places, but other
than gaining a yard or two, he served
as a blocker, and showed fairly well
in the place.
The Waynesville line just could
not stand up under the terrific pound
ing and hammering of the powerful
Greenies, and on several occasion, the
second team was sent in while the
regulars tried to regain their pace.

The Canton Black Bears will be on
hand with an undefeated team, while
the Mountaineers have won two and
lost two, but this cannot be considered
much margin, as no matter what the
previous scores of the season have
been, these two teams put everything
they have into the game when they
meet.
The betting odds vary, but Canton
is given the edge over the locals.

Black Bears Take
Forest City Down
In Nightcap Fray
The Canton Black Bears, trounced
the team from Forest City in a night
cap gam on Canton's field last Friday,
with the Black Bears scoring at ran
dom against last year's Western Con
ference title holders. The usual large
crowd was on hand, despite the fact
that the weather was a little chilly.
The most spectacular play of the
game came when Hamlett, substitute
halfback for the Black Bears, with
only a few second to go in the last
periodintcrccpted a pass and gal
loped 56 yard before he was overtak
en, just short of a tally. The final
whistle blew before the score could
be completed.
This Friday the Black Bears leave
home the first time this season. The
Canton team will be on hand at Town
ship Stadium here in Waynesville to
take the Waynesville Mountaineers in
a county classic game, as well as a
Blue Ridge Conference tilt.
The Black Bears have won all the
games played so far, and the game
Friday night saw a string of substi
tutes that put up as good show
against the opposition as the regu
lars. This fact was very encouraging
to the coaches of the Canton team,
as they are trying to get material in
shape for next year's team, as most
of the regulars graduate.

W. C. T. C. FACES MARS
HILL LIONS SATURDAY
(Special to The Mountaineer.)
Hard drills have been held at Mars
Hill college this week as the Lions
prepare for their game on Saturday
with W. C. T. C. at Mars Hills. This
game will be the feature of the annual
Founders day program.
W. C. T. C. will have a good team
to take the field for this week's game.
In their first game they defeated Bre
vard by three touchdowns and their
second game was against Emory and
Henry, it ending in a scoreless tie.
Last week Lenoir Rhyne handed W.
C. T. C. a defeat but the result of the
game might have been different had
the five first stringers who were on
the injured list been able to play.
On last Saturday the Lions defeated
a much heavier and more experienced
Wingate eleven, 6 to 0.
