Ridge Conference game that kept 1 the 2,800 fans on their feet from the opening kiekotT to the final ! whistle. It was a sub halfback named 1 Jimmy Moss, filling in for the ! injured ace, Bob Davis, who i proved the sparkplug of the Moun taineer offensive which manufac : tiued more points in the whirlwind 1 first half than it had in Waynes Mile's three previous games. Fullback Don Whisenhunt rammed over three times, and End it.ene Yarborough scored once. 1 but Moss' bull's-eye passes pro duced two of the touchdowns and Ins running helped set up the others. Halfback Bob Fleming, tall, fast Hendersonville star, scored all three of the losers' touchdowns and gave the1 finest individual per formance the Waynesville gridiron has seen this year. Befort the fans had time to set tle in their seats. Fleming took a handoff. slipped around his left end and sprinted 60 yards for a touchdown Fullback Joe Gilreath booted a perfect placement, and Henderson ville was ahead 7-0 less than 20 seconds after the opening kiekoff. jijf.n Hut the aroused Mountaineers came storming back 65 yards to tie the score before the cheers of the 400 Hendersonville fans ! had died away. Whisenhunt, Halfback George I Garrett. Jim Moss .and Wornack mixed power plays, end runs, and ! passes, chewing off five. six. and ' eight yards at a clip, before Whis- enliunt bucked over from the four yard line for the first Mountaineer touchdown. Keserve Fullback J. C. Dcweese came in, and promptly rammed the middle for the first of his four conversions of trje evening, tying the -score at 7-7 as the scoreboard clock showed only seven minutes gone since the opening kiekoff. But less than two minutes later, the Mountaineers again had their backs to the wall. They threw back a Bearcat of fensive on their one - yard line, stopping a 62-yard drive, only to -ee the visitors hammering over again a few plays later midway in the second period. The Bearcats rushed Jimmy Fil iate, standing in his end zone to punt after the gallant goal-line ttand. and the weak boot bounced out-of-bounds on the Mountaineer 30. Fleming raced to the 19 on an end run, and a five-yard offside penalty put the ball on the Waynesville 15. Fleming, Halfback Herbie Osteen, and Quarterback S. C. Hendrix earned to the two, and Fleming went over to send the Bearcats ahead again, though Gilreath's placement was blocked. The Bearcats had made it look too easy, scoring or coming 36 inches from scoring every time they controlled the ball. But the Mountaineers went back to work fast, and rolled 70 yards to knot the count for the second GUESSING THE GRID WINNERS RECORD TO DATE 82 wins, 26 losses, 7 ties. Pet. .759 By FRANK ECK AP Newsfeatures Sports Editor NEW YORK Traditional rather than intersec tional clashes have the spotlight as the football season reaches the half-way mark Saturday. Although Notre Dame is idle while -awaiting its game with Navy on Oct. 29, much of the interesting action appears to center in the Midwest, where four Big 9 games are on tap. Feature clash finds the heavy Minnesota line going against the crack Michigan eleven at Ann Arbor, We'll string alone with the champion Wolverines. Other midwest conference games find Northwest ern at Iowa, Wisconsin at Ohio State and Illinois at Purdue. We'll take Northwestern, Ohio State and Purdue. The east has at least five interesting clashes, two being played in upstate New York, two in New England and one in Philadelphia. Columbia goes to West Point to get a sample of the rugged Army eleven, Princeton's Tiger figures to get its tail twisted in the Cornell game at Ithaca, Dartmouth meets Harvard at Cambridge, Mass., Holy Cross travels to the Yale Bowl at New Haven, Conn., and Navy takes on Penn at Franklin Field. The south is studded with many traditional clashes with Duke Georgia Tech, Tulane and Wake Forest expected to be among the victors. Selections by sections follow: EAST Army to rout Columbia.

Unbeaten Canton Midgets Win In final 30 Seconds The undefeated, untied Cham pion YMCA midget gridders ex tended their winning streak ta three .straight last Thursday night in the final 30 seconds. Charlie Carpenter slammed over the Cherokee Little Braves' goal line from the one-yard strip and Chili Burnett plunged for the extra point to give the Gra-Y Bears a 7-0 victory at Canton. The Braves, beaten 27-13 by the Bears at Cherokee in the Canton opener last month, threatened re peatedly during the return match, penetrating to the Canton five on their most dangerous thrust.

He completed three aerials to Burnett and another to Bobby Wil liamson to put the ball on the Cherokee one and set the stage for the game's only touchdown. Waller Rattler and Bub Moles were the most dangerous Braves on the field, carrying the major ball carrying duties. The Champion juniors will meet Hendersonville's juniors at the Canton field tonight.

I$ywood Street " time in 18 minutes, taking the lead on a converted point for the first time. Waynesville spirits stayed at rock bottom when Womack crunched through for one hard yard on the first play. They lifted five degrees when Moss, filling Davis' shoes very capably, took the ball from punt formation and drove nine yards through the middle for a first down. They soared as Quarterback Charlie Womack, apparently trapped by three Bearcat linemen, picked his way around his left end and weaved 25 yards to the Hendersonville 35. Deweese made eight yards in two tries. Then Womack flipped a flat pass to Yarborough, who cut through a broken field 23 yards for the second tying touchdown, as the fans went wild. Deweese's plunge sent the Mountaineers ahead by a slim point. Before the fans had time to sit down, the Mountaineers rammed through for the touchdown that proved to be the clincher. The Bearcats themselves set the Mage when they fumbled At kinson's post-touchdown kiekoff and the Mountaineers recovered on the Hendersonville 37. Moss shot a short pass to Gar rett, who raced 17 yards, then lat- eralled back to Womack, who squeezed out thre more before he was stopped. Gerrett and Deweese collected a first down between them, then on fourth down, with 12 seconds to go before half time, Moss fired to Whisenhunt, who raced wide and crossed the line. The conversion gave Waynesville a 21-13 lead, and the half ended as Gilreath returned Atkinson's kiekoff 17 yards to the Hender sonville 43. The furious pace slackened in the third period, but not much, as both teams tightened their de fenses and kept the ball between the 40-yard stripes. Late in the third, the Bearcats launched a dangerous drive, marching quickly from their own 28 to the Mountaineer 46. But the ball shot out of Hendrix' hands when he was hit hard as he stood back to pass, and the Mountain eers snatched the ball on the Hen dersonville 46. That get the stage for the final Mountaineer touchdown. - As the third period ended. Moss went three yards to the Hender sonville 40. Deweese made It a first down on the first play of the final period, and Womack, Deweese, and Whis enhunt carried to the Henderson ville 24. Then Garrett get up the touch down with a 17-yard sprint around bis left end. Whisenhunt worked th Jin steadily, and on fourth down crashed over from the one. After the conversion, the Bear cats stormed back 62 yards, with Fleming snaking a 12-yard Hen drix pass away from two Moun taineer defenders and racing 23 yards to the end zone two and a half minutes before the final whistle. A few plays later, Fleming sent the Bearcats rolling again, with a 23-yard punt return down the side lines to the Waynesville 47. But time ran out as Osteen took a 10-yard pass from Hendrix and raced to the Mountaineer 12. Though the reliable regulars, Davis and Center Tom Boyd were sidelined with injuries, the Moun taineers, uncovering a staff of fine reserve backs and linemen, came through the tough test still unde feated, with four straight victories and a tie on the books. It was the first time this season the Mountaineers had been behind, and it provided the sternest mental ordeal they've ever had. They made their offensive click when the pres sure was heaviest, and never let up until the game was in the bag. Again, it was the Mountaineers' superior condition that fundamen tally tipped the scales. Where the Bearcats counted mainly on thick, yard-eating thrusts, the Mountain eers did it the hard way, grinding out yardage bit by bit, except for the 17- and 20-yard runs and the long touchdown play. The Mountaineers, with Womack and Moss pitching, tried a half dozen passes, all in the first half, and completed five of them for 92 yards. The only pass Womack threw he completed to End Bob Owens for a nine-yard gain that boosted the first Waynesville touchdown drive over a rough snag. Fundamentally, the Bearcats had only one offensive weapon, Flem ing, and the Mountaineers had a dozen. This showed up In the opening drive when five men carried the ball on the long march for the ty ing touchdown Womack, Garrett, Whisenhunt, Moss, and Owens. On the second march, it was Womack, Moss, Deweese, and Gar rett, with Yarborough joining the quartet on the clincher just before intermission. The Mountaineers also uncovered a punting surprise in Halfback Jim Fugate, a 135-pound junior, who averaged 40 yards on each of three boots. He, Moss, and Deweese will be back next season. Deweese has two more seasons to go. The whole Mountaineer line, with the reliable regulars like Tackles Buck Atkinson Mod -Bob Setzer, Guards Alden McCracken and Howard Mehaffey, and Ends Yarborough and Owens shoulder ing the brunt of the responsibili ties, gave Us finest offensive 'per formance of the season -and thrilled the spectators with Its brilliant de fensive spots. Harold Mills, a 170-pound senior, played a good game in the injured Boyd's center spot, and Sophomore Guard Joe Hipps and Backs Jim Kuykendall, a junior, and Carol Swanger, a big sophomore, turned in capable relief performances. The offensive, of course, stole the show. The character of the game is reflected in the statistics, which show Hendersonville punted only once, and Waynesville only four times. The caliber of the play also shows in the statistics. The officials called only three penalties, &11 against Waynesville, and all for offside. The starting lineups: Pos.
