BUI VH.1UKY B O imoky Journey To This Week Hendersonville 18-7 Victors Over Mountaineers For the first time since 1939 the Hendersonville Bearcats downed a fighting Mountaineer eleven last Friday night to the tune of 18 to 7. An estimated 1U00 fans were on .land to see the annual gridiron tussle. The Mountaineers presented a much better team than the one ihat tangled with Canton the week before and came through with the first score of the evening when Robinson lobbed a shot pass to Messer who galloped some 30 yards to pay-dirt. Robinson cracked over guard for the extra point. The Mountaineers played most of the tima In Bearcat territory up until midway of the second period, itobinson dropped back to punt on his own 39 and Boman, flashy back .or the visitors, broke through to block the punt and scoop up the ball and gallop for a score. The try for extra point failed and the score stood at 7-6 at the end of the half. The Bearcats began to put on pressure in the third period, but were unable to cross the pay-dirt marker, although they did threaten several times, but were held by the locals. Early in the last quarter a bad pass from center got away from a Waynesville back and O'Dell, end of Hendersonville, recovered the ball on the Mountaineer 8 and ferried the ball across for the visitors, again the try for extra point failed. Bowman again was the scorer In the last tally of the game when he intercepted a Way nesville pass on the Mountaineers 30 and galloped over the goal line. The kick for extra point went wide. The rivalry between Waynes ville and Hendersonville has always been high, exceeded only by Can ton. And in this game there were a number of penalties for unneces sary roughness made against both teams. It was one of the roughest games of the season. The Waynesville high school band performed at the beginning of the game and at the half-time with marching and music. They have shown quite a bit of Improve ment during the last two weeks. vard.

The talk waxed warm and you know we mountaineers can be witty at times. Just how big is a big river pump kin was a great question, the talk about that sized pumpkin took us all miles away from our business and our every day worries. It would have made a fine radio pro gram." "A bear hunting ground la a re mote spot far from civilization, where food and 'Lying grounds' are found. Bears must have a 'woolley head' or a 'yellow patch,' low shrubbery, a dark place, where only dogs or a bear can get through," continued Dr. Nick when asked about hunting grounds. "Usually one of the hunters goes the day before the hunt and locates the signs of the bear tracks, the imprint of his feet, then when we start on the hunt with the knowl edge of the woods and the habits of the bears, plus the location of the grounds, we turn the dogs loose. To know fresh sif.ns of a bear track is hard, especially if it has been dry. The direction in which a bear Is going is important, but if the track is not deep and the bear not heavy, it is difficult to tell. But to the woodsmen there are other signs, the direction in which the briars and weeds are pressed down. I have known hunt ers to turn dogs loose on a back track and many a hunt lias been spoiled by dogs going m the wrong direction." "When I speak of uri;aniat Ion of a hunt, 1 mean also the part that the hunters have. Slanders are placed on the old trails, and on low gaps, where bears have been known to pass before. The part of the hunters known as driv ers have the dogs on leash, and the dogs are never tinned loose until the old dependable shiake dog is unleashed. Then the thrill comes. He is given leave way and the others in turn are given the signal to go. The hunt is on, and the silence of the woods is broken by a thrilling sound to a hunter. "The standers never leave their places and the drivers have the privilege of following the dogs and going where they lead. Kvery po sition is picked with care. The stander. for instance, must be a good shot for the bear may cross his way." I have known a bear to be kill ed In one minute after the dogs were released. There is j;rcat ex citement when the lucky hunter makes his kill. Any hunter who gets his shot and misses the bear Is due to have his shirt tail cut off. "The game is divided among all the hunters, and according to rule the bear is cut up so everybody gets a choice piece. It is laid out in as many piles as there are hunt ers. One man, with his back turned calls the names of the hunters and they go up and get their pile UTRflltWflySl Dr. N. M. Medford And A Kill V'U T&gl "V till I)U N.

"When the meat is divided that is the signal that the hunt is over, and the hunt ers turn homeward but not be fore the lire is out and the camp site cleaned and every man ac counted for. No true hunter wants a lire to start and he has great consideration for the wild life of the forests. It would be unforgiv able to leave the camp without every hunter accounted for." "My first kill was 14 years ago at the Big Cove section of Three Forks on the Oconuilui'tee River, Indian hunting grounds. I can't telf you the thrill I got from killing that bear. One of the hunters said to me 'Doc, you seem to be a good walker, come with me and wc will kill a bear this very day.' He walked to where we had been assigned as slanders and we saw bear tracks in the mud. My com panion said, 'give us forty min utes, Doc, and wc will have a bear. And we did.'' "The bear was prowling and tear ing down old dead brush and tim ler, and then suddenly he was in the creek on a rock before my eyes At the shot from a 300 Savage rifle he fell in a pool of water. The signal shots that the bear had been killed and the hunt over, were fired. In a short time eight of the hunters joined ns. You know Bill Bradley has to have his fun. The bear was a big 500 pounder, but when Bill saw her he said, "well, why In the H if you are going to kill a bear did you get such a little one?' "Two or three years later I got Friday Canton On Winning Streak, After Defeating Ashevillc School For Boys The victory minded Canton High Black Bears will meet the Sylva High Golden Hurricane on the Black Bear Memorial Field Fri day night at 7:30. Last Saturday night on the same field the Black Bears disposed of the hitherto un defeated Ashevillc School Blues, by a 27 to 6 score. The Black, Bears stand second among -North' Carolina high schools in the total number of points scored for the season. They have massed a total of 182 points and are led only by Mt. Airy. The 1945 Black Bear record is marred only by a single point defeat, 20 to 21, by the Erwin, Tenn., Wildcats, and a 6-.... tie with the undefeated Morganton High Wildcats. On the victory side of the ledger the Black Bears have turned in decisive wins over Hayesville, Morganton Deaf, War ren Wilson, Waynesville and Ashe ville School. Coach C. C. Poindcxter is put ting the Black Bears through stiff practice sessions this week on the fundamentals of football The var sity took Wednesday olT while the Bear Cubs were playing the Christ School Juniors at Arden. Football interest in Canton is mounting from week to week and a large crowd is expected to be on hand for the Sylva game Friday night. The Black Bears were or iginally scheduled to play Frank lin this week but a shift was made and Franklin will come to Canton the following Friday night. As usual, the Canton high school band, under the direction of Rob ert Matthews, will be on hand to play before the game and at half time. another one in Sherwood Forest and last year I got my third in the Cattaloochce section. Neither one was as big as the first one. "But it makes no difference whether you are the lucky one who kills the bear or not, you have great sport. When the bear season rolls around you want to get some Plott dogs and start out. You get to know a fellow in the woods. You make strong friendships on hunts. You find out about people. The out of the way places of nature help you to think clearly. The rules are strict and you soon learn a true sportsman by the way he plays the game. I always write my son about the details of a hunt," he concluded.
