Mountaineer Staff Writer
A heavier, hard-charging Sylva
line and the mud combined forces
Friday night to give the Golden
Hurricanes a 6-6 tie with Waynes
ville's Mountaineers in their open
ing game of the 1949 grid season at
Sylva.
For Sylva, it was the second
deadlock in as many starts.
Nearly 5,000 fans watched the
battle between Coach Carleton
Weatherby's deceptive double-wing
formation and Jim Barnwell's sea
soned T slug it out on the field
made soggy by late afternoon
rains.
As usual, the Waynesville grid
ders had plenty of moral support
on foreign fields.
More than 1,500 Haywood County
fans made the trio to Sylva to help
their boys get through the expect-
edly rugged opener:
The Mountaineers broke the
scoreless duel 30 seconds before
intermission with a lightning pass
that covered 39 yards.
Right Halfback Bob Davis, bear
ing the punting duties for the in
jured Bill Sutton, engineered the
lone Waynesville touchdown with
a soaring 52-yard boot that set the
Sylva gridders back on their own
three-yard stripe.
Hurricane Halfback Charlie Cun
ningham returned the hoot on the
next play, sending it out of bounds
on the Sylva 39.
Then on the first play, Halfback
Charlie Womack whipped a flat 10
yard pass to Davis who slipped
through the Sylva defense and
raced all the way.
The slick field cancelled the at
tempted conversion when the kick
er slipped as he was attempting
the placement.
The Hurricanes' dangerous T
started clicking right after half
time, and kept the Mountaineers in
hot water throughout the last two
periods.
Sylva capitalized on a break and
a 15-yard penalty to set up the ty
ing touchdown midway through the
third quarter. .
After accepting an offside pen
alty on a booming punt, the Mount
aineers used up a third down try
ing to crack the middle of the
tough Hurricane line.
'Then Davis, back for a punt, had I
to run on the fourth down when
the Mountaineers committed their
only low pass from center in the
game.
Sylva took over on the Waynes
ville 32, then advanced 15 yards on
a roughing penalty.
With Cunningham and Halfback
Kent Hoyle alternating, the Hurri
canes smashed down to the two.
Then Cunningham plunged over
standing up and the score stood the
way it ended. Furman Dillard re
lieved Fullback Ernest Bumgarner
for the conversion try, but his
placement attempt was short and
wide.
The Mountaineers' deceptive re
verses drowned in the mud time
after time as they were threaten
ing to generate a touchdown, and
they could not get a sustained drive
going until the waning seconds of
the game.
Then time ran out as they
crossed the mid-field stripe after
grinding out an advance from their
own 25.
After intermission, the Hurri
canes started a drive from their
own 30, rolling up three straight
first downs to the Waynesville 20.
But then Center Tom Boyd
pounced on a Sylva fumble, giving
the Mountaineers the ball on their
own 31.
The Mountaineer defense stif
fened after the tying touchdown
and squelched the Sylva thrusts.
A pass interception early in the
final period gave Sylva the ball on
the Mountaineer 30. .
But Waynesville's line, backed by
the secondary, held the Hurricane
attack to seven yards .in four tries,
and the Mountaineers took over on
their own 23.
Davis was one of the Mountain
eers major defensi
booting the slippery; soggy ball an
average 43 yards on each of his
four punts.
' In the line, one of the strongest
defensive blocks for Waynesville
was Joe Hipps, who went into the
game at guard to relieve a starter
Womack completed five of the
nme passes he tried, but the alert
Sylva defense limited the Mount
aineers to 47 yards through the air
The Mountaineers, operating
mainly off their reverses, could
gain only 92 yards rushing against
the tough Sylva forward wall
