TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2 I THE WAYNESVHAE MOUNTAINEER Don't Let Our Boys Down Get In Your Scrap! . ' I ; Both Teams Put Up Good Scrap Here Last Friday Mountaineers Held Lead Through Entire Game; Both Teams Made Long Runs. The Waynesville Mountaineers rolled over the Canton Black Bears on the local field last Friday night by a score of 33 to 20. An estimat ed attendance of 3,000 were on hand for the annual Haywood county gridiron classic. Waynesville and Canton have been football rivals for many years and have been meeting each other on the gridiron since football was introduced in this county, and all the games draw overflowing at tendance to see two teams located only twelve miles apart battle for the county championship. The Mountaineers got off to a good start in the opening period of the game, starting their scoring drive from their own 27 alter uan ton was forced to punt out of dan ger. On the first play after the locals received the ball Henry made a sweeping end run and advanced to the Canton 42, later he passed to Jaynes followed by line plays placed the ball down on the Canton 2, where Arrington plowed through the line for the first Bcore of the game. Yount hit the line for the extra point. Early in the second quarter on an exchange of punts, Waynes ville took over on Canton's 36 and in two plays reached paydirt for the second time. Henry carried to the 15 where Yount carried the remaining distance. The try for the extra point was no good. Waynesville again scored in the second period on a drive from their own 35, with Henry carrying the mail to the Canton 19 and Yount coming through for the remainder of the yardage to score. A pass from Henry to Jackson netted the extra point. Not to be outdone, the Canton Back Bears resolved to come back, and on the kickoff, Stamey, fleet half back, galloped 76 yeards for the visitor's first tally. Owen plunged through the line for the extra point. Coming back after the half-time, Waynesville began another touch down drive from their own 47 down to the Canton 4 where Arrington plowed through for the score. Canton also scored in the third period after intercepting a Way nesville pass on their own 10 and it looked as if the ball carried would go for a score but Waynes ville managed to bring him down on the local's 44, where Canton gaining ground down to the Moun taineer's 3, where Owen cracked the line to score. It seemed that the Mountaineers could not let the visitors make a score unless they came back in retaliation. Taking the ball on the kick-off on their own 32, Way nesville advanced to the 42 where they began moving down field, chalking up three first downs and placing the ball on the Canton 12. Henry . galloped around left end to reach paydirt. Henry passed to Yount for the extra point. This all took place in the early minutes of the last period. Canton came back on the kick off taking the ball on their own 36 and advancing into Waynes ville territory to the 46. Owen tnrew a long pass to Chapman, who galloped to score. Owen netted the extra point through the line. I in the closing minutes of the game Canton again knocked on the door of the Waynesville goal, but the Mountaineers stopped the drive on the 5, thereby leaving the score 33 to 20, The record for the largest num ber of points scored in a single game between these two Haywood teams was shattered whan the total hit 53. Much comment was made as to the condition of the two teams, WARNING! You're hearing a lot these days about scrap fine, do your part, and remember, if you don't hare those s u m m e r clothes cleaned now, they will be to scrap next spring. VISIT MASSIE'S WAYNESVILLE, ---- "i ii i i l " . " , f j i mi 1 I ' . n mm-v . i ROUND-UP SPORTS As colorful as the autumn leaves that comes near describing the Waynesville and Canton bands in action at the game here last Fri day night. Both gave a wonderful performance. We have seen some college bands that could not come up to the standard of these two bands. The Canton-Waynesville games are different now than they were years ago just as hard fought on the field, but clean sportsmanship and the action of the spectators is so different. We recall not so many years ago when an extra squad of police was necessary to keep spectators in order. Now, the policemen get to enjoy every minute of the game, and can stay wrapped in a blanket during especially the local lads, who did not have to take time out because of injury during the entire game, and the visitors were very much improved over previous games. That is one of the high spots of the sport, seeing the teams in perfect trim and thereby eliminat ing injuries. It would not be fair to either school not to mention the support giving the teams by the bands. Both schools have a band that they are justy proud of, and the dem onstration put on before the game and at the half-time were equal to college style. The attendance far exceeded the expected crowd and some of the spectators had to stand to watch the game. It was pleasing to see the friendly rivalry of the two towns confined only to bickering at each other and no physical clashes. We believe it should be left up to the eleven men to furnish the scrapping and that was done in gridiron fashion. These two teams will meet again Thanksgiving afternoon on the Canton field, at which time the Black Bears will be out for re venge.

Foliage In Park Presents A Riot of Beautiful Colors The annual pageant of autumnal leaf color is rapidly approaching its peak in the park. At the high- I er elevations this climax has al ready been reached and considera ble defoliation has taken place in some areas, but below the 4,000 foot altitude, where much greater variety of trees and shrubs are to be found growing, the glory of the colorful autumn season is in full sway. . Many species of trees, shrubs, and vines serve to contribute to ths annual fall spectacle, but cer tain ones lend more color that others Taking high honors for their breath-taking flaming reds and oranges are red maple, sour wood, black gum, various oaks, sumac, sassafras, sweet gum, dog wood, Virginia creeper and others. Golden and yellow colors prevail on hickories, tulip (yellow poplar), yellow and black birches, magno lias, pawpaw, mountain holly, and other plants. The warm brown color of beech leaves, the purple of the ash, the varied hues of witch- i hobble, and the contrast furnished , by the dark greens of pines, hem locks, spruce, firs, rhododendrons and other evergreen species is con sidered by many the finest spec tacle which nature presents to him who visits the park at this time of ,the year. Witch hazel is in bloom, and many asters, goldenrods, gen tians and other wildflowers will continue to resist the early frosts throughout this colorful month. the whole time. and that change is something fif whirl) oil nhmilH Ka ntnl It is a sure thing, Haywood is a good place to live. If you live anywhere in the county, you're a iortunate pearson. One woman at the game Friday night was near a hard tackle, and both players hit the ground with a deep thud. She rubbed her hands together and remarked: "To think they fall that hard and get right up." ; Yes, sister, that is one reason it takes so long to train a good player. , There was not a single reminder of war at the game neither band played the national anthem. Every thing was done to take your mind off the every-day grind of events. Not a bad idea. : While Friday night's game was a thriller of Haywood fans, the Saturday games prved just as in teresting, as: North Carolina beat Duquesne 13 to 6. Duke trampled Colgate 844).
