game in Waynesville
The line opened holes that en
abled the backs to go through, and
display the fine open field running,
featured by Bill Milner and James
Knight, which resulted in Waynes
ville's three tallies.
The first score came in the first
quarter when Bill Milner skirted
left end on a reverse to gallop
thirty yards across the goal line.
The extra point was made by
Knight over guard.
The scoring took a recess until
the last period when Inman, local
back, intercepted a long pass from
Sylva, and after a steady march
up-field with Milner galloping 25
yards to the 10-yard strip. Knight
drove off-tackle for the second
tally. Milner converted the extra
point through the line.
Another break came when Way
nesville recovered a fumble on their
own 25-yard line. Only a few
plays were required to convert this
error into another score for the
Mountaineers with Milner having
the honor. Knight tried through
the line for the extra point, but
was stopped short of the three-
yards necessary.
Sylva only made one real threat
and that at the closing minutes of
the game, as the game ended,
Sylva was on the one-yard line,
second down and goal to go.
