no action was definitely taken. Som
of the matters brought up consisted
of charging a small admission to the
games, and installing a public address
system to be used at each game. The
different colors for each team was
also discussed but was left up to the
team representatives to decide what
his colors will be.
The league went on record as fav
oring paying the umpires for their
services, and thereby getting an offi

so that the number of disputes can
be cut down to a minimum. This
will also assure the presence of the
umpire at each game.

The Waynesville Mountaineers hung
up their suits to dry until next sea
son after losing their lust game to
Canton Thanksgiving Day by a 9 to
0 score in a driving snow storm. The
game was played at Canton with only
a few fans on hand to witness the
last game of the season for the locals.
The game was filled with fumbles
due to the slush and snow that made
the field very slow. Despite the fact
that Canton made ten first downs as
compared to Waynesville's three, the
Mountaineers showed that they could
put up a hard fought game by stop
ping several goal line threats.
The game was close up until the
last period of the game when Jack
Hipps broke away for a 30 yeard
dash through center to tally the first
score of the game, Shortly following
the score with Schenck making the
extra point, Waynesville attempted to
boot from behind the goal line which
was blocked and bounded over the end
zone for a safety for the. Black Bears.
In this game eleven Mountaineers
played their last game for Waynes
ville, and they played the game hard
and clean. Although they have not
won all of the games they have played
the team is to be congratulated on
the way they have played the game
and not by the number of games won
and lost. These eleven players that
will not grace the local football field
again are: Davis, Shook, Keeyes, W.
MeCracken, Messer, B. Milner, Tay

Phillips, and Hancock.

game will decide the Blue Ridge Con
ference title.
The Canton Black Bears went
through vigorous practice during the
first of the week in preparation for
the game Friday. This is a post
season game for both of the teams,
and' is unusual in conference circles.
Neither team has lost a conference
game although the Canton eleven
battled the Asheville Maroons second
string to a C to 6 tie in a game sub
stituted for the Brevard game that
was cancelled. '
Only one team has penetrated
into the twenty-five yard ter
ritory of the Marshall team, that
was nendersonville but were unable
to score the threat.
Marshall is confident of the game,
but are expecting a hard fight to
keep their record clean this reason.
The team is practicing enthusiasti
cally and are in high spirits.
The Canton Black Bears are de
fending their championship of last
season and will .present their team
in full strength as none of the play
ers received serious injuries in the
Way nesville-Canton tilt last week.
If you are a football fan and wish
to see one of the best high school
games of the year, see Marshall and
Canton tangle in Asheville Friday.

and held their opponents scoreless in
five games.
