N, C I Heavier Lenior Eleven BATTLE CRY 1 who played an alert ball game all evening, pounced on a fumbled I punt on the Klizabethton nine. I But the Mountaineers fumbled on the second down, and the Cy- I I clones recovered :o get out of the I hole. I The battle scene for all bill two j I brief periods of the entire game I i wai inside the Elizabethton 40-yard i line But the line and the line-back-; l i s, led by Jesse Birchlield. Kliz ' ahethton's 205-pound fullback, and All-Tennessee stale end Buddy 1 Webb, -topped the deadly Moun taineer drives. (July twice did the Cyclones drive into Mountaineer territory. and then the farthest drive carried only lo the Waynesville 38. Eluabethton. paced by the run ning of Tailback Al Smithdeal and the plunging of Birchfield, took the opening kickoff and drove lo a quick first down from the Betsy 34 to the 46. Then Smithdeal sailed nine yards through the line to the Waynes ville 45 for the first of the only two invasions of Mountaineer ler- Ill01. But the Mountaineers stopped Smithdeal on both of his tries for the single yard necessary for the tir-t down, and Webb was forced to punt. The defense was rostlv, however, for regulai Center Tom Bod was injured when he dropped Smith deal on the first play of the -".eries and he wa-. sidelined for the rest of the game. The only other sally into Waynes ville territory came in the waning seconds of the game, when the Cyclones drove from their own 38 on Smithdeal's passes to the Waynesville 39. But Whisenhunt snatched a Cy clone pass on. the Waynesville 35 and raced 15 yards through a horde of Eiizabethton players to the mid- 1 c'X MltSW NoTwwkii1 Ml Uovl . rrT, W Z. "UCV x . hy -o4 .jnivrlV I held stripe. That was Ihe final play of the game. The offensive fireworks Ihreat- ened game. constantly all through the but spluttered out before they did any damage. Penalties at crucial moments against both sides helped squelch promising drives. The game evolved principally into a battle of defenses. The Mountaineers, with Guards Joe Hipps and Howard MehafTey, Tackles Bob Setzer and Buck At kinson, and Co-captain Bob Owen at the flank standing out, kept Birchfield's dangerous rushes al most completely under control and bottled up Smithdeal, except on a few rare occasions. The Cyclone's passing attack, the most effective weapon the losers used, also was slopped in the dan ger zones by the Mountaineers' aerial defense, -Which showed im provement over their efforts against Tryon. Eiizabethton, with Smithdeal do ing most of the tossing to either Birchfield or Webb, completed four out of 1 1 attempts for a total gain of 40 yards. The Mountaineers intercepted three of the aerials, with Davis grabbing two and Whisenhunt one, running them back a total of 74 yards. A few of the Cyclone aerials went wild,. and others died when receivers failed to hold them. One of them was a 29-yard beauty to Webb in the third period, but the star end. three yards ahead of the nearest Waynesville defender, dropped it on the Waynesville 30. Only three out of the 13 Moun taineer aerials found receivers for a total gain of 38 yards. On the ground, the Mountaineers outrushed Klizabethton, 83 yards net to 49. Overanxiety was the mojor fac tor in four Waynesville fumbles and the three Klizabethton fumbles. The Cyclones recovered three of the Mountaineers' while the Moun taineers grabbed all three of the Klizabethton fumbles. Davis' punting average dropped to 40.4 yards per boot, principally because he was kicking from in side Eiizabethton territory. His longest effort was a punt that sail ed 47 yards from the line of scrim mage. Actually, it travelled G7 yards from the point where he connected. Webb's punting got Eiizabethton out of many holes. He averaged 49 8 yards per try, with his longest going CO yards. Though the figures tell much of the tale, the margin of victory lay fundamentally in Waynesville's superior stamina. The Mountaineers started driving at high speed after their opening kickoff, and kept up the terrific pace without a let-down until the linal whistle. The lighter Cyclones matched it most of the way but showed the signs of the hard pace in the final minutes of the game. Davis, playing like an all-stater, was stopped often on his line smashes, but was dangerous on his punt returns and interceptions. On the first Mountaineer running play of the game, he raced 20 yards around end from the Mountineer 31, coming within inches of break ing into the clear. It was the Mountaineers' most decisive victory over Ellaabethton in the series and the first game in which they showed clear superi ority over the Cyclones. The first victory over Eiizabethton waa a narrow 7-6 squeak by the great un defeated, untied 1946 eleven. The score also was. the reverse of last year's contest when the Moun taineers fell with the aid of costly 1 Mun' and Frank EcH Game Colored By. Brilliant Play Of Bands The Eiizabethton - Waynesville football game Friday night provid ed the most colorful attraction of the infant football season. Just before the kickoff and at intermission, the 100-piece Eiiza bethton High School band and the 70-piece Waynesville band went through formations and played their stirring marches that thrilled Ihe 4.000 chilled spectators who packed the stadium. The Eiizabethton musicians, di rected by Melville Kelly, showed the fans the kind of performance that won them third place in com petition with high school bands from each of the 48 states at the Lions International convention in New York last summer. Matching them in playing and in marching, Waynesville's 70 bandsmen, directed by Charles Is- ley, gave their finest performance of the reason. The Waynesville musicians per formed a civic service when they formed the letters "VOTE" and marched across the field to re mind the fans the next day was the day for the election on the hospital bond i sue. As they marched, they played, "Any Bonds Today1?" Four students marched up the field bearing a large banner read ing: "We need more hospital facil ities. Co Vote." p The Klizabethton band formed r huge clover, and played, "I'm look ing Over a Four-Leaf Clover." The Waynesville students made an open formation, then the foot ball players came out of their dressing room and ran single file through the ranks to the benches on the sidelines. The tumbling performances of the Waynesville drum majorettes and the expert baton-twirling of the Eiizabethton girls added to the effectiveness of the bands' per formances. The half-time events came to a solemn climax with the ceremo nies dedicating the game to the late Lloyd Kirkpatrick, treasurer of the Waynesville High School Athletic Association for five years.

Black Bears Of Canton Put Up Hard Fight By DAN MATTHEWS Mountaineer Sports Writer Cajitou Black, Bears, fighting pluekily and with dogged persist ence until the end, suffered de feat at the hands of the heavy Ltngir team before an immense crowd in Memorial Stadium Friday night. Not only did the Bear Cats outweigh the Pigeon river players but it looked like substitutions were made by the scores in the visiting Uneup and fresh talent hardly had lime for a good warmun when an other shift would be made. As a esult Canton was overbalanced in poundage and alter the first quarter it looked to the fans as though they were outplayed too. Local fans had expected at least one touchdown but one chance for a score was timed out by the half. On the field during preliminary practice the Lenoir team looked Canton 13 22 0 Lenoir 15 First downs Passes attempted Passes completed Yds. gained by p's'g Basses intercepted Penalties iyds.1 Touchdowns for 5 180 5 5 107 0 10 Lenoir were made, one each, by Doug Holcomb, Nick Lauey. Eddie I'oleat. Ben Fi ler, Babbitt Shenill and Fred Mc Lain. Ned Fennel I kicked one ex Ira point. like a powerful aggregation of players well deserving the reputa tion that puts them at the top of the Western Class A conference this year. Before half a dozen plays had been run off it looked like Coach Hipps' eleven would have very little chance. Coach Preston Mull seemed determined to run up as good a score as possible at the exptuse of the lighter opponents and tlie final score, 37 to 0, showed one or two markers for every quar ter. Canton took a little consola tion from the fact that thirteen first downs were racked up against 15 of Lenoir. At the end of the first half Can ton was down in Lenoir territory and close enough lo pay dirt 10 go over in one more play when the whistle blew and the half and Ihe only Black Bear threat ended simultaneously. That was about all the playing the Black Bears did in an offensive way that attracted any attention. The rest of Ihe four periods weie spent blocking and dragging down t he rampaging vis itors, j Dough Holcomb provided a good deal of the sparkle during the whole s'ame. He ran twenty yards for a touchdown in the first quarter and soon after the play passed to Nick Laney setting up another seventy yard play to a score. At the end of a fifty yard drive in the second quarter Fullback R. Sherrill plunged four yards for a score. The third quarter saw Ned Pen nell, quarter-back throw a 20 yard pass to Ben Eller, end, who ran for fifty yards to another score. Two long steady drives down (he field marked the fourth quarter. One of them was for 75 yards and the other for over sixty yards. FOd die Poteat carried the ball across for one score and Bob Clark for the other. The Canton High school band under the leadership of Edwin Troutman put on a colorful dem onstration during the half time pe riod as well as playing the salute to the colors just before the kick pff. Formation first displayed the? let ter' L in compliment to the visit ing team and then the players maneuvered into a diagram of the little red school house. Canton uni forms are red so the formation did not fail to have the appreciation of the crowd. Then the band introduced some thing of an innovation when they presented as guests of honor for the evening the wives of the three coaches of the Canton team: Mrs. Donald Hipps, Mrs. W. L. Barkby and Mrs. C. C. Poindexter. The ladles smiled and bowed gracious ly, the band tooted enthusiastically and the fans seemed glad there was at least something everybody could be happy about. Canton Midgets Open With 27-13 Win Over Indians Halfback Charlie Burnett scored U four touchdowns as Champion YMCA'i midget gridders opened their season last Thursday with a 27-13 victory over the Little Braves of Cherokee. Bud Arkansas scored both touch- downs for the losers, going Into Crushes Canton j Bethel Grid Team Gets Rough Work Belhel High School's gridders went through their first scrimmage Friday afternoon as they continued preparation for their first season. Coach T. J. Johnson sent his 25 hopefuls through a session that lasted an hour and a half on the Bethel field. The first week of contact work ended with two on the "slightly injured" list. In the Friday afternoon drill, Bethel unveiled a fleet halfback named Bob Fore, and a fullback named Buddy McDowell. Fore scored twice on 30-yard dashes through the line, and Mc Dowell ripped off many large gains with his end sweeps. After the drill. Coach Johnson also praised the defensive work of Guard D. B. Gibson and tackle Jerry Gibson. In his critique, however, he de scribed the blocking as "poor". Practice will continue this week, with another scrimmage scheduled for Friday. At the same time, he indicated that games so far have been ar ranged with Cherokee, the Waynes ville High School jayvees, and Candler. Bethel will meet Cherokee twice with games set for October 18 and 24. However, the places and other details have not yet been definite ly fixed lor these and other games. Indications also are that the Canton Jayvees will be on the schedule. The Candler game will wind up Bethel's first season. The coach also said that three boys dropped off the squad but that he. had a "long waiting list" for the extra uniforms. lie explained that the squad was limited in size by the number of uniforms. When boys drop out, those on the waiting list get their uniforms. In the case of the injured play ers, other boys on the list will use their equipment until they can re turn to practice. Catamounts Win Third Straight Western Carolina kept their per-, feet record clean last Saturday by rolling over Tusculum College, 20-0, at Greeneville, Tenn., for their third straight victory of the season. After a slow start through a scoreless first period, the Cata mounts, with Pee Wee Hamilton, Joe Hunt, and Dewey Whitaker leading the way, drove 42 yards for their first touchdown. Hunt went over on a spinner from the one in the second period. A few minutes later, Hamilton connected with an aerial to Whit aker for 40 yards and Whitaker was stopped on the Tusculum 10 lo set up the next touchdown. Hunt used a spinner again to go all the way to the end zone. Clark made the first two place ments good for the extra points. After the Western Carolina re serves were held scoreless in the third period, Hershey Hipps set up the final Catamount touchdown a few minutes before the game ended with a 27-yard dash to the Tusculum eight-yard line. Then he went around end for the score. The Catamount line, with Cap tain and Center Hugh Constance and Tackle Pinball Allison, both of Waynesville, among the standouts, held the Tusculum backs to 19 yards on the ground and aided the Catamount ball carriers to a net 315 yards rushing. ' The Catamounts remained at the top of the North State Conference, standings, though the Tusculum en counter was a non-league affair. Catawba, 14-0 victim of Wofford in a non-conference clash; unde feated Lenoir-Rhyne, 27-13 winner over Erskine; and Guilford are the chief rivals for the Catamounts in the loop race. Elon was virtually knocked out of title contention Friday nisht when the Christians fell 14-0 be fore Appalachian State. East Carolina lost 21-7 to Hamp-den-Sydney in another non-conference engagement over the week end. The Catamounts meet East Ten nessee next Saturday at Johnson City. the Champion end zone for one of them on a 66-yard dash with an aerial from Rattler. This was the longest run of the game. The Champion Gra-Y midgets meet Morganton next Thursday at Canton. Want Ads bring quick results. Esso, Lawrence. Last Tuesday lur-lil'. 'lilt. "" a mee-wa l. , n in the Uumlin... . ., ..
