Local Nine Meets Old Riyal In Blue Ridge Tilt The Waynesville High Moun taineers will be seeking their first 1949 baseball victory tomorrow when they tackle their old rivals, the Canton Black Bears, here in Waynesville Township Stadium. This game will mark the first appearance of Coach Weatherby's Mountaineer nine this season. The locals opened their season last Friday at Cullowhee when they fell before a late rally and came out on the short end of a six to four score. The local nine displayed a good brand of ball, but were rather slow due to the lack of practice and also to the cool weather. One of the bright spots of the Mountaineers opening game was the hard hitting of the Owen brothers, Bill and Bob. Both boys came through witli two for four averages and each blasted out a round tripper. Jim Kuykendahl went the route on the mound for the locals and pitched good ball, although handi capped by streaks of wildness that allowed six runners free trips to first base. The Mountaineers will be fac ing the Canton team for the first time this season. The Bears will have only one performer back from last year's Blue Ridge Conference champions and Coach C. C. Poin dexter has been faced with the task of rebuilding an entire new team. (Continued on Pate 2) n m 12 :d's WBC, kintaineers.

The Hendersonville team is sup posedly a strong combination with most of their performers exper ienced golfers and the locals are looking for a tough afternoon. Coach Katcliffe was well pleased with the play of the locals in their first match last Thursday after noon at Brevard, when they came through to defeat the Brevard JBiue Devils, nine to three. The match against Brevard was the first time ih the history of Waynesville High School that the crhnnl has fielded a Kolf team. Although the boys are inexper ienced golfers, they came tnrougn in great style in their first match. The local team was hitting far and straight down the fairways, but found the greens plenty tough and required several extra putts. Coach Ratcliffe attributed much of that to the lack of practice, which has been held up by .the bad weather. Although facing a- strong lineup today, the local boys were all set to go out and take Victory number two and to do their share in up holding the winning traditions of the other Mountaineer athletic teams. j. .... .. ...
