In Grid Rivalry
With Eight Wins
W h e n the Mountaineers of
Wavnesville face the Asheville
School Blues in Township Stadium
Saturday night these two elevens
will be entering their twelfth game
of a lengthy series During this
entire series, no game has carried
more importance than the game
tomorrow night. Both teams are
undclea'i'd ill Blue Ridge Confer
ence play and the loop champion
ship may go to the winner of this
clash.
Looking hack over the records
of this rivalry, we found that
Waynesville walked off the field
victorious in eight games while
losing two and one scoreless dead
lock in 1!K1H On the scoring side
of the istory, tl' Mountaineers
have rolled to a total of 197 points
willi the Blues scoring only 49.
One unusual thing about this series
is that the Blues have been able
to cross the double marker twice
only one of the eleven tuts.
Yannigans Tackle Canton
In Game This Afternoon
brought up for 1949 have signed
John L. Walz lo a contract through
1950.
If he makes good sooner it is
only natural that the Phillies will
tear up his contract and raise his
salary above the $6,000 maximum
permitted a first-year non-bonus
player.
The Cincinnati Reds have a play
er in the same category. He is
David Poole, 20-year-old catcher
from Winston Salem. N. C. who
played semi-pro ball at Elizabeth
City, N. C. Poole is signed through
1950.
The system of signing a young
player for more than one year ap
pears to be one of the answers to
the silly bonus rule. Under the
present setup it may be revised
at the Chicago winter meetings in
December a young player has the
choice of signing for a huge sum
and possibly going stale by silting
on a big league bench one year,
or signing for more than one year
This was in 1945 when the Blue
rolled over the Waynesville team
by 24 lo 14.

Coach Tom Young sent his
Western Carolina Catamounts
through light drills here today as
the Cats concluded practice for
their clash with the Newberry In
dians in Memorial Stadium tomor
row night. The kickoff is set for
7:30 o'clock and is the last home
game of the season for the Cata
mounts. Coaches Young and McConnell
were far from satisfied with the
showing of the Catamounts against
I the Maryville Scotties last week as
the Cats went down lo another one
point defeat. The offensive machine
stalled completely and the Cats
just couldn't do anything right
against the strong Scotties from
the Smoky Mountain Conference
Facing one of the stronger small
college elevens in South Carolina
when they tackle the Newberry
team, the Cats spent much time
setting up a defense against the
running attack of the Indians in
hopes of taking their sixth win of
the season. New berry boasts a well
balanced team and will bring an
impressive record to Cullowhee for
the clash with the Cats tomorrow
night.
The Catamounts have had a very
successful season so far and Coach
Young would like lo close out the
season in a winning way. Alter the
Newberry clash, the Cats will jour
ney lo Bristol. Va.. for an engage
ment with the strong Emory &
Henry griddcrs and close out the
season wlih a trip to Morrislown.
Tenn. lo battle the powerful Carson-Newman
team. The Catamounts
have lost to Carson-Newman the
past two years by a single point
each year and are out lo average
those losses this year.

the opposition held the Waynes

their 7 to 0 defeat at the hands of
the powerful Flizahethlon. Tenn.,

The Asheville loam is reported
to be at full strength for this game
and out to knock the Mountaineers
out of the conference race. The
Blues have a heavy but well bal
anced line, which has been led by
Frank Anderson, big right end.
Anderson plays a fine defensive
game and is one of the top pass
receivers in this section. Although
the haekfield doesn't pack too
much weight, it is loaded with
speedy performers. Showing the
way so far has been Bill Anderson,
snappy quarterback, who will bear
much watching in the game tomor
