C. CUNNINGHAM CULLOWHEE (Special! M'eStefn CaroTIna'comple'ted their first week of ear ly drills with a full length scrimmage on Saturday morning. The Cats looked pretty Rood in their first contact work and Coach Tom Young said he was well satisfied witli the scrimmage as a whole, but that timing of plays needs improvement. Jack Arrington of Waynesville. who was injured last season and failed to see action, is back and should add a lot to the Cat forward wall. Jack is a sophomore and a very capable ball player. He will be remembered for his fine per formance on Waynesville high's 1942 team. Jack "Pinbjll" Allison, a letter man on last year's eleven who plays right end, should see a lot! of service. Another member of the 1942 Mountaineer club, Allison is president of the student body at Western Carolina this year. Ed Scates, a newcomer to the squad, looked very good in last week's drills, getting in a lot of jolting tackles in the final scrim mage. The former Waynesville star is a freshman and is expected to be a big help to the Catamounts this year. Harry Jaynes, a junior who has earned two successive monograms at WCTC, is one of the stalwarts in the forward wall. Harry played tackle in the 1946 eleven. Howard "Hobe" Collins, another letterman, was on the reserve squad last season, but is expected to play a lot on the varsity at guard this autumn. He is a junior. Arthur P. Evans of Waynesville, a newcomer to the squad, looked very good at blocking back in the scrimmage. His line blocking was one of the features of practice. Hugh Constance, a two-letter ath lete at Waynesville high in 1942, is one of the hardest hitting line backers on the Cat squad. A spark plug on otTense, much will be heard of Constance before the year ends Bill SwifL manager .at the Cats this year,, is' also a former letter- man at Waynesville high. He earned his fust W. C. monogram last year. Gene Groi'an of Canton, all North State conference end as a freshman last season, will be one of the starting flankmen again. Gene has become known for his ability to size up opponents and tear up end runs. Frank Hardin of Canton, a jun ior, who has lettered twice, plays quarterback for the Cats. Frank has been showing promise as a kicker this year and looks like a dependable extra point man. Jack McCracken of Canton, newcomer, with a little experience. should become a very efficient pW' ot man. He is a sophomore The Cats play Ralph James' High Point Panthers in Asheville Memorial stadium on Saturday, September 20. This will be the opening game and a conference scrap for the Catamounts. Al though it is much too early to make a prediction, this writer be lieves a real ball game is in store for fans as the Cats set out to erase the tie sustained last at High Point. First Place Teams Meet At Enka Field Today At 4 Riddix Pitches Sayles To 84 Win Here Sat urday; Beacon Takes "Y" Hazewood and Beacon Mills will meet Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock on the neutral field at Enka to de cide the W.N.C. Industrial League championship. With Saturday's games, in which Sayles upset the Blalockmen 8 to 4 behind James "Red'' Riddix's 1U strikeout pitching and Beacon Mills pounding a 14-0 win over Cham pion Y, the top teams are dead locked at 14 wins and 6 losses each. Two of the three teams tied for third place in standings, Enka and Green River will lock horns on Wednesday afternoon at Ecusta; the winner engaging Sayles after wards. After the third and fourth places are determined, the first di vision teams will engage in a post season Shaunnessey playoff to be gin September 30. Hazelwood has two wins over Beacon during the season on their record, and one win stricken from the record due to using an ineli gible player. Manager Blalock was undecided as to his starting pitcher, but he is likely to take the mound himself. Jack Smith, who watched Saturday's game from the sideline with a crick in his neck, is hoped to have his big bat and catcher's mitt in use this afternoon. Sayles took advantage of five Hazelwood errors and 14 hits off Zeb Swann and Blalock to win here Saturday. The visitors went ahead 3 to 1 the first inning, but was nar rowed down to a one-run lead by the sixth as Dudley, Pitts and Bla-' lock rapped some long drives. Rain halted the game for a half hour, but Sayles faced Blalock's hurling the last three innings without a letup, adding two runs in the seventh and another the final stanza. Dudley's homer, double and single in four times at bat high lighted Hazelwood's offense, while Gilmer Hughes, Sayles' center field er banged three singles for five; INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE W L Pet Hazelwood 14 6 .700 Beacon 14 6 .700 Enka 11 10 .524 Sayles 11 10 .52"?

On the last day of the season Garland bugged a 15' i-inch (1 pound. 9 ounce) speckled trout which was the largest one en tered in Rogers brothers sports men's contest. Other prizewinners announced Thursday were ('. E. Johnson of route 3, Canton, with a 23-inch rainbow; and Henry Caldwell, of route 2, Waynesville, who pulled in a 2:;:1 (-Inch brown trout, weighing 6 pounds. Caldwell and Johnson made their catches in May. The contest will extend until December 31 for lake bass. AP Newsfealures It happened at the small Po mona, California, race track many years ago. Jockey Ray Neil son was well placed on his mount going in to the first turn when he r heard a ripping sound. It proved to be his pants. The embarrassed jockey de cided that he didn't like the Idea of riding past the grandstand in that predicament, so he pulled the horse up at the far turn and headed for the stables. Coaches Have Polish ing Job On Hand Getting Offense To Click Now working in heavy equip ment, the Waynesville high Moun taineers wil) keep their afternoons busy the next two weeks polishing plays and individual assignments, with quite a few rough edges to wear off in order to be ready for the 10-game slate which is drawing nearer each day. Coaches C. E. Weatherby and Carl Ratcliff ran their charges through basic scrimmages Thurs day and Friday afternoon, working the "first" team on offense and the second string on defense, with quite a few substitution being made during the plays. The two varsity lines appear pretty evenly matched. Blocking and take-out assignments drew the coaches' attention until a sem blance of a hole was opened for the ball carriers. Despite the hot sun, a lot of spirit was shown by the players. In the backfield the experience of three last year regulars -shows potentialities of a good starting of fense and Buck Atkinson is learn ing his fullback duties fast. Sub stitute backs will be getting in the offensive lineup more during this week and are drawing the praise of their coaches for the defensive spirit shown so far. GOES DOWN THE DRAIN, EMERGES SAFELY FORT WORTH, Tex. (UP) Most people who "go down with the drain" don't return, but Bill Bock em, 22-year-old Fort Worth life guard, survived the ordeal. Bill was sucked into the drain at the bottom of the Forest Park pool here, tumbled about for 25 seconds and emerged in a rough creek bed with assorted scratches and bruises. At the time of the accident, the husky lifeguard was warning swim mers to stay away from the grate less drain. For rtilck results, try Want Ads. year HOLD THAT TEMPER DUNCAN, OKLA.
