The Waynesville Mountaineer's
girls and the Canton Black Bear
boys took the honors in the fifth

21 to 17. The finals found the
locals parred with the Canton las
sies and the game ended 14 to 6
in favor of the Mountaineers. The
Canton boys had Tather smooth
sailing to take the crown in the
boys division, with the finals par
ing Sylva with the Black Bears and
the final score being 33 to 26.
The Mountaineer boys were
eliminated in their first contest
by the Tryon quintet after a tough
battle from start to finish by a 17
to 12 score.
This year's tournament play was
classed as one of the best years so
far as all the teams that were
present were fast and gave the
spectators their money's worth.
Hendersonville withdrew from the
conference last year and did not
enter any competition. Brevard
also did not present their teams
for some unforeseen reason, al
though they have not withdrawn
from the group.
After the finals an all-torune-ment
team was selected of which
waynesville was well represnted
in the girls division, The first
team for the lassies were: Press-
ley, or Canton, Rathbne of Way
nesville, and Penly, Swannanoa,
forwards; Calvin, of Canton, Phil
lips of Waynesville, and Watson,
of Swannanoa, as guards. The
second string composed of Mc
Clure, of Waynesville, Edwards, of
Swannanoa, and Reeves, of Can
ton, at the forwards, Plot.t, of
Waynesville, A, Jones, of Sylva,
nq woodruff, of Canton, at the
guard positions.
Making a place on the boys all
tournament squad were, first team:
Rhea, of Canton, Carr, of Mars
Hill, as forwards, Price of Can
ton, center, R. Henson, of Sylva,
and Hipps, of Canton, at the
guards. The second string was

Mountaineers Are
Ready To Start
Track Practice
Now that the basketball season
has ended, the Wavnesville Moun
taineers will turn to track and will
put full time on this sport. As the
local high school does not spon
sor a baseball team the runners
and jumpers will have full sway.
The local boys and eirls have a
host of talent in this line of sport
and in previous vears have marie a
good showing in all meets that they
entered, and it is expected that
this year will be no exception.
It was not decided as to wheth
er the teams would ene-asred in
any outside competition other
than the Blue Ridge Conference
meet this year.

There seems to be a little unrest
among some sof tball players, in
that the managers of the resnec-
tive teams have not issued calls
for practice. The wise manager is
waiting for warm weather before
taking chances of having cold set

Other, than annealing to proud
fathers and mothers, and by-gone
track stars, the attendance at
track meets is usually made up of
students.
Track is fine for individual de

solutely lacking in merit when it
comes to teaching co-operation
and the idea of working together,
such as football, basketball, and
all other forms of team competi
tion.

From a financial standpoint,
track has never been a paying

whether in high school or In col

rounded athletic program In that
a certain amount of individual de

The fact that track comes just
before school closes is an imnor.

exercise is usually undertaken by
all students.
