played in Memorial Stadium at Canton tomorrow ulternooii at two o'clock. Pictured here, are Coach
Carleton Wedtherby, head mentor of the Mountaineers since 1!)29, Co-Captain Bill Owen, tackle, who

dependable performers on the squad and assistant coach Carl Kaleliff, who not only works hard with

lems will be replacing Bill Trull,
lanky center of last years team.
Coach Kvans also has several prom

how this years team is going to
stack up against the other schools
of the county until they have had
several games under their belts.
Coach Kvans stated that the old
Bethel spirit is present and with a
j little game experience
work both the boys and girls teams
will have a fairly good chance of
winning at least part of their
games.
He also announced that the two

Optimist Bowl
Clash Set Today
Between All-Stars
Despite the fact only four days
of practice was scheduled, both the
All-Western and All-Eastern high
school gridders will unquestion
ably offer a high class brand of
football in Asheville Friday after
noon at 2:30 o'clock when they
clash in the second annual Optim
ist Bowl contest.
The 50 senior players from virtu
ally every county in Western North
Carolina reported to their respec
tive coaches late Sunday afternoon.
Following physical exams Monday,
no time was lost in reaching the
practice fields and the two-a-day
schedule found both squads going
at top speed in an effort to get in
the best possible trim for the game.
Neither head coach has ventured
to say what his starting lineup
would be on Friday, both chief
mentors Bill Morris of the All
Western outfit, and "Pete" Peter
son xf the All-Eastern squad, have
repeatedly said that every player
would have a chance to display his
talent before what is expected to
be a capacity crowd, 1
Kickoff Set At 2 O'ClocI:
Tomorrow At Canton Field
The Waynesville Mountaineers,
1948 Blue Ridge Conference cham
pions, closed out drills here today
and are all set to journey to Can
ton tomorrow where they will act
as host team in the first annual
Paper Bowl game. The game will
be played in Memorial Stadium
with the kickoff slated for 2 o'clock
A record breaking crowd is ex
pected to jam into the stadium for
this top clash of the year The
program will get underway at one
o'clock when .lack Justice's Gra
Y Junior Bears. 12 to 14 years old,
will stack their undefeated record
against the fast Brevard midgets in
a game played for the entertain
ment of early arrivals.
Justice -RodKl-rs To Appear
This game will be highlighted
by the officials, who will he none
other than All-America Charlie
Choo Choo Justice and All-Southern
Hosea Rodgers, of the Univer
sity of North Carolina Tar Heels.
This will be the first chance for
many of the local fans to sec these
two boys, who have been stand
outs for the Tar Heels all year and
will lead them into the Sugar Bowl
on New Year's Day against the
Oklahoma Sooners
The Waynesville team will be at
top strength for the clash with the
powerful Marion Rippers and al
though rated a one to two touch
down underdog, the Mountaineers
are expected lo prove more trouble
some to the Rippers than most
folks believe. Waynesville will be
laying a record of eight wins and
one loss on the line and are out
to protect it.
Marion is riding a seven game
win streak and have a season of
eight wins and four .losses The
Rippers have been paced by the
brilliant play of Jack Coocle and
Bill Stanley, halfback and fullback
respectively, throughout the year
and these are the to boys that the
Mountaineers must bottle up if
they hope to upset I he apple cart
and come home with the bacon.
The Waynesville team will be
throwing a defense that has allow
ed only 24 points to be scored
against it this year against the
highest scoring team in Western
North Carolina and the big ques
tion around here is whether the
Mountaineer defense ran stop the
high geared offense of the Rippers.
The Mountaineer offensive ma
chine has been in good shape
throughout the season and the only
time it stalled completely was
against the slicing Klizahet hton,
Tenn. Cyclones. The Cyclones
handed the Mountaineers their
only 1948 defeat and it was only
by one touchdown. The Waynes
ville team has scored 155 points in
nine games which doesn't come
close lo the Rippers 289.
The only team that Waynesville
and Marion have both played is
the Canton Black Bears. Marion
downed the Bears by 4H to 0 while
the Mountaineers were able to de
feat them by 14 lo 0 and 32 to 0
in the traditional Thanksgiving
game On comparative scores, (he
Marion team is 16 points better
than the Mountaineers but most
people are rating the Kippers as
two touchdown favorites.
Forward Walls
The Waynesville and Marion
forward walls are expected to stack
up as about even when these two
teams face each other at kickoff
time. The lines should average the
same weight and both play hard
charging , and clashing type ' of
games. The Rippers will outweigh
the Mountaineer backs considera
bly and the Waynesville boys must
depend on the speed and decep
tion to offset this disadvantage. ,
The Mountaineers will depend
on husky Winston Ensley. Bob
Davis, Co-Captain Howard Liner
and Charlie Womack to match the
all-around play of Marlon's two
ace backs, Jack Goode and Bill
Stanley. Both these boys will per
form in the Optimist Bowl in Ashe
ville on Friday but Coach Art Ditt
has promised the home folks that
both boys will be in top shape for
the Paper Bowl clash.
The Waynesville high school
band will journey to Canton for
the game and along with the Mar
ion and Canton bands will have a -splendid
program at halftlme.
These three crack bands will pro
vide music during pre-game and
at the half for the entertainment
of the fans.
Local radio station WHCC and
station WLOS of Asheville will
air the game, assuring the fans
of Western North Carolina a com
plete coverage of the game. Blue
Robinson will do the play-by-play
for Waynesville.
Coach Carleton Weatherby of
Waynesville is expected to start
the following boys that have made
up the starting team throughout
the year:
