' ' V "4, 'NT f v.- i on w T fe p O R B L MARION BRIDGES Basketball is hitting its stride all over the country as well a la his community, but football con tinues to break into the routine. Last week the football squad of the Waynesviile high school presented Coach Weatherby with a co ache's trophy. This is the first time that .We can remember that such a pro cedure has taken place here, and ft is a symbol of what the 1940 football squad thought of their Mountaineers Arid Clyde Divide Two PITAS S03C NEEDS ...

It aa been the custom for several jyears to give the coach a present af some description, but never a trophy of this nature. The trophy , Its highly prised by Coach Weath-i arby, and in return he made the stateoMot that it has been a long since he has had as pleasant group of boys to work with. W wander what happened to the bowling league that was started here some time ago. It started off j with a bang and ended as far as we can find out also with a bang. Bowling could be worked out to be one of the leading sports in this eommun ity. We still believe that If the dubs would get together and properly organize the league could k -mnrVcA tn nerfertinn. but with- mr& - J ' 1 - j eut organization there is little hope ( for it to last very long. Bethel Trounces Fines Creek In Double Attraction Bethel took a double header from Fines Creek last Tuesday night, January 14th, on the Bethel court. The Bethel girls won over the Fines Creek girls by a score of 36 to 20, a margin of 16 points. Long was the high scorer for . i i . ill n A A ttemei wun a iouu oi ii puinuj w t her credit.

Bowling is coming to the front as a winter sport, more and more towns and cities are taking bowl ing serious, and if this community is to have a bowling league now is the time to start Next year may be too late and there is no time Eke the present. Bowling is one of the best forms of recreation that any town can put before its people, Line up for boys: Fines Creek Bethel F Kirk (Capt 11) ....Sales (2) F Messer . ....... ........

Think the matter over and then lets have action. f!ATSW,7ER 75&. fd&Z. mm tS4 1 VbulL VAN EVERY START WllH eS EXTRA BOXER OF HJ AMCENT GREECE, if SCORED 41 1400 V k s PUT MUSCLE There is another sport that Is open to some of the younger set and that is boxing. The Golden Glove Tournament will open- soon in Asheville, and the chances are that there will not be an entry from this community. Some peo ple do not approve of the fistic pastime, but taking it from all angles it is not as bad as it seems, and there are plenty of youngsters that can handle their "dukes" in this community. Canton has sev eral fine boxers and many pros pects coming on, why shouldn't Waynesville? Of course there is the question of a place to work-out and to practice. We believe this could be worked but if enough in terest is shown in the sport. Local Girls Win; Clyde Boys Victors In Two Hard Fought Contests ; tThe Waynesville Mountaineers divided two close cam eames here lat Fridav niirht with Clyde: with thee local girls taking their game 25 to 19, while the local boys went down in defeat to the tune of 17 to 15. These two games were the closest games played so far this season, and the fans were in an uDroar the whole of the time. The local lassies were in the trailing position until the last period when McElroy began finding the basket to sink 6 field goals or 12 points to cinch the game for the Mountaineers. McElroy led the girls in scoring, totaling 20 points to her credit Donaldson, of Clyde, came in second place with 7 points. The boy's game was filled with thrills from start to finish with the ead changing hands numerous times, but when the final whistle ended the game the visitors-had a two point lead to win 17 to 15. Henry, of the locals, and Brown, of the. visitors, tied for scoring hon ors with 6 points each.

Subs Waynesville: Ledford, Wyatt (2). Clyde: Sizemore. The local basketeers have started off with vim and vigor this year, with the local lassies haying won three games in a row and the boys just the opposite. It is believed that both teams wfll improve as the season progresses.
