Mr. Evans said the Waynesviiie
and Canton 'TV sounds are being
considered as opponents for re
turn games to round out the sched
ule. Meanwhile, the 25 players con
tinued their drills under Coach T.
J. Johnson, who is tutoring them
in the split T formation offensive.
There was also bright financial
news in Mr. Evans' report. He- said
$750 of the original bill incident
to launching the team has been
paid.
The initial cosl included uni
forms for 25 boys and equipment
incidental to practice --blocking
and tackling dummies and other
items. '

pitching 'tar. j
Both teams are reported pretty
cvtnly matched, ranging in age
from six to 12 years per player, as
they w ound up prepai afions today
for the struggle.
This latest clash in the long se
ries between Canton and Waynes
viiie that started back in 1922 Is
expected to match all the others
in color.
Way nesvillc's 70-piece band, di
rected by Charles lsley. and Can
ton's band, directed by Edwin
Trout man. w orked as hard as the
rival gridders this week in polish
ing I heir inarching and playing for
the big game.
The Mountaineers apparently
have lost regular center Tom Boyd
for this game, according to Head
Coach Carlton Weatherby. Boyd
suffered a bad sprain early in the
fust period of the Elizabethton con
test, and is considered definitely
sidelined for the weekend.
Filling in at his starting post
will be either Harold Mills. 17-year-old
170-pound senior, or Jerry
Evans. 17-year-old 175-pound jun
ior. Boyd's loss, however, is being
compensated for largely by the re
tain of Gene Yarborough, regular
1 nd. who missed the Elizabethton
game because of injuries.
Coach Weatherby slid that,-asid
from the injury to Boyd, the squad
came through the Friday night bat
tle in pretty good physical shape,
though the;, are all pretty badly
bruised.
Coach Don Hipps, meanwhile, re
porfed that the 37-0 score was the
only beating his Black Bears took.
They emerged from the Lenoir
battle in good physical condition.
Still out of action, however, is
Fullback Carlson Hipps, who has
not seen action all season and is
considered probably out for Un
rest of the season.
While Coach Weatherby was
sending his gridders through long
rough sessions on the fundamen
tals. Hipps worked his boys primar
ily on building their defenses,
which have been spotty all season.
Following the 7-0 victory over
Elizabethton. Coach Weatherby,
piai-cd the work of his linemen,
but said the team as a whole
showed "plenty of room for im
provement." Tic declared that the linemen
! played their best game of the sea
son in the contest with the Cy
1 lones.
Waynesviiie will be gunning for
i its third straight win tomorrow
; night. After opening against Sylva
in a 6-6 tie, the Mountaineers wal
loped Tryon, 33-6, before stopping
Elizabethton.
i The Black Bears started off the
season with a 34-19 victory over
Sand Hills, then edged Forest City,
14-13. the next Friday night.
They dropped a 20-0 decision to
the powerful Monroe eleven for
their first loss, then ran into a
more powerful unbeaten Lenoir
' squad last Friday night,
j However, comparative records
' mean nothing when the Mountain
eers and the Black Bears meet.
I Furthermore, the 37-0 licking the
1 Canton squad took looks a lot
I worse than it actually was. The
j Black Beam piled up 13 first downs
j against the bigger Lenoir team and
: gained 107 yards through the air
; to 180 for the winners.
The most significant figure in
the statistics is the one credited to
; Lenoir in the pass interceptions
department. The winners grabbed
five of the 22 aerials the Canton
1 passers pitched.
j Waynesviiie and Canton each
will throw fine passing and run
ning combinations at each other
during the contest.
For the broken field running it
will be Canton's Neil Rhymer
against Waynesville's scoring ace,
Halfback Bob Davis.
In the passing department, it will
be Canton's Bobby Moore against
Waynesville's Charlie Womack.
Waynesviiie will have the punt
ing edge, however. Davis' average
for the season is 45.4 yards per
boot in three games.
The teams are just about evenly
matched in weight.
Waynesville's starting line aver
ages 17H4 pounds per man, while
Yanks Lead
Dodgers In
Series
The New York Yankees held a
one-game lead over the Brooklyn
Dodgers going into Hie second
game of the 1949 World Scries this
afli moon at the Yankee Stadium
in New York.
Higbtfielder Tommy lli-ini'ich's
homer in the bottom of the ninth
gave the Yanks the Serie' opener
yesterday.
I The fourmaster by Heiiirich. sec
I end man up in the final inning,
I broke up a scoreless pitching duel
between the yanks' Allie Reynolds
and the Dodgers' Don Newcomb.
The game-winning homer was
the fifth blow the Yanks got off
Newcomb, but the Dodger hinder
up to that point had not given a
single walk and had struck out 1 1
men, only two short of the Series
mark for a single game.
Reynolds pitched two-bit ball
and Pave four walks.

the Black Bears match this with a
172-pound average.
In the backfield, the Mountain
eers have the edge in weight by
less than five pounds.
The Waynesviiie backs average
157 pounds per man. Canton's ball
carriers tip the scales at an average
153 pounds each.
The Mountaineers will be facing
a single wing attack for the third
time this season. But Hipps' ver
sion is slightly different from the
ones Elizabethton and Tryon em
ployed. The Canton offensive rolls on the
Carolina single wing. j
The Bears, however, will be fac
ing a double wing for the first
time this season. For that matter,
every one of Waynesville's oppo
nents have faced or will face a
double wing for the first time this
season, and probably the only time.
As far as is known Waynesviiie
is the only high school or college
team in the state that still uses the
double wing.
In general the game shapes up
as a contest between Waynesv i'le' ;
ground offensive and Canton's air
attack.,
The Mountaineers hold the edge
in the series with 22 victories to
Canton's 16. Only one of the con-
