Coach Carlton Weatherby said tills morning the hard work for Fri day night's battle with unbeaten Canton would start this afternoon. The Mountaineers' 14-0 victory in their annual battle with Eliza bethton left them with only the 14 13 loss to Lenoir marring their record for their first three games. In a critique of the Mountaineer performance, the Waynesvilie coaching staff indicated the exnert- ed natural let-down which would have followed the rough Lenoir game failed to materialize last Fri day. "They played as well aeainst Elizabethton," said Coach Weather- by, "as they did against Lenoir." Conspicuous by their absence, however, were the costly fumbles that cropped up in the Lenoir game. The Mountaineers did not make a single bobble. In the only instance of juggling in the Whole game, the back secur ed the ball in time enough to make a one-yard gain. The coach indicated Friday night's pending battle shapes up as potentially the toughest of the sea son. Most of the Mountaineers have seen the Bears in action, and have a good idea of what they will be up against. f0r the contest here will be on ae-jsaie in Waynesvilie drug stores, 1 ana me American J run stand. Reynolds Whips S.C. Eleven, 43-0 Reynolds High School's Tigers, who opened their 1950 football sea Son week befoie last with a tie, won their first of the campaign Thursday night easily. They rolled over the Abbeville, S. C, colored high school eleven, 49-0, in the contest at the Canton High School stadium. Gene Thomas, T. L. Conelly, Toy Tucker, and Dexter Bryant led the Haywood lad's touchdown par ade, with Thompson's three tallies taking individual honors. The Tigers .opened fast, rolling up four of their touchdown on the first period, then ran across the South Carolina goal once In each of the next three periods. . A tenth Reynolds touchdown, scored on the final play of the game, was nullified by a penalty for having an extra ' man on the field.- - The Tigers and Tayloryille, S. Vict Long Runs Set Up Touchdowns In 12-0 Victory Bethel High School's football players made hi.tory Friday after noon at the Sand Hill High School Held. They whinped an experienced Sand Hill eleven. 12-0 It was the first victory achieved by a Bethel grid squad. It cauie just about a year to the day when the school's first football ti am took the field in their brand new uniforms, bouuht with money donated by the iieoule of the Pi gcon Valley, Clyde. Canton, and Waynesvilie. The Blue Demons, small in num bers but very durable, stopued the Sand Hill T-attack cold, and held the invasions close to the 50-yard line except for a laose in the wan ing minutes of the game. The Sheppard brothers. Wine- back Doyt und Tailback Everett, set up the touchdowns with a 40-yard dash each to snark the 70-yard drives that led to the only scoring I he first Bethel touchdown came with surprising suddenness . After being pinned behlnd'thcir three-yard line by Sand Hill punt ing for the first three minutes af ter the opening klckoff, they took fbe ball on downs on their own 30 Then Everett Sheppard sprinted around end all the way to the Sand Hill 30. The Demons needed only a few plays to nut the ball on the Sand Hill three, and starting Fullback Bobby Fore took it over The setup was about the same in the third period when Dovt knifed through the line on a re verse and went 40 vards to the Sand Hill 30. Tailback Billy Allison and Fore alternated to put the ball on the three, and reserve Fullback Ken neth Jones', broke through for the touchdown. Both tries for the points from placement iailed. In the last few minutes of the game, Sand Hill passes carried the losers down to tile Bethel 20, but be Demons held - to, squelch the threat. 1 he Sheppard brothers and Fore were Bethel's most consistent ground gainers, each reeling off steady gains, from three to 15 yards at a clip, behind the hard-charging line. Defensively, everybody was out standing. The Demon forwards limited thn Sand Hill backs to 38 vards on the ground, most of it at the mid-field siripe. Sand Hill's passing was effective in safe territory, but the Blue De mon aerial defense stopped it when it got dangerous. Bethel racked un ten first downs to Sand Hill's six, and averaged 30 yards on each punt. The victory left the Bethel rec ord for the current season even to date. The Demons lost their open er, 33-6, to Biltmore High School. l oach Jack Arrnii!ton who start. ed at Bethel only this season, was stui very haonv over the whni.. thing Sunday. "They all played good," he said in reply to a question. The Demons didn't have much more than the weekend to cele brate their historic victory. This afternoon they were sched uled to go back to hard work again in preparation for another toughie. They clash with Sylva's Golden Hurricane at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Canton High School sta dium. After dropping three straight, to Hayesville, Waynesvilie, and Murphy, the Sylva lads blasted Clyde, 39-12, last weekend for their first victory of the season.

Pa, Meeting a guy like Sam IJr zetta during the "time out for lunch " that comes with a M-bole golf match is one of the things that make sports writing a cinch. Urzetla, the naliolial amateur golf champion, has a million dollar personality despite a dead serious ness about everything he says and i ri v, SAM I'RZETTA Out of Nowhere does. The 24-ycar-old former caddy from East Rochester, N. , has only one ambition. That is "to net a good Job that will permit me to continue playing- amateur Eolf." Why is Sam so set on retaining his simon-pure status? Well, Sam a U'llll iil.'inill'Pf in liklnrv fin1 Rot his BA degree at St. Bonaven hire College last June can tell il best. "I hope I never have 1o turn pro," says Sam, "There's more .se curity in amateur golf if you can tie it in with a good job. I think I might like selliup. There are on ly about eight top . pros making good money. Look at the figures. "I would rather play golf than eat, but not as a pro." Urzetta practically came from nowhere in August when he con quered millionaire Frank Strana- han, the British s .teur king from Toledo, 1 up ii 39 holes in the USGA final at Minneapolis. He was unknown until he reached the final. Few had ever heard about his golf except in his home state. lie had won nothing more than the New York amateur in 1048. Hut when he beat Stranahan, tops in amateur golf the last few, years. he became the No. 1 glamour boy of the links. Urzetta is a natural athlete. He captained the St. Bonaventurc polf team and twice co-captained the basketball team. In 1947-48 his foul shooting average was the best in the country. Last winter he repeated, ne could go out and sign a contract tomorrow with the Minneapolis Lakers, crack pro cage team. But golf's his Same. He gives all the credit for his success with his woods and irons to Frankie Commisso, young pro at East Rochester's Irondequoit Country Club where Babe, one of his three brothers, is assistant Pro. "Frankie helped me more than anybody," says Urzetta. "He is a fine golfer himself and could go out and give the Jop pros a tussle if he felt so inclined. But Commisso is a fine teacher. He gave me a lot of confidence." Sam felt that his' success against Stranahan In the S Amateur was due to Commisso's teachings and the fact that nearly fevery one of his Iron shots were straight, "All of his shots are slraloht " gays Frank Elliott of Bronxville. N. Y., Urzetta's partner in the fifth annual Waite Memorial at the Shawnee Country Club. The talk drifted to other pros. "How did Harry Obitz get located here.?" the 175-pound Sammy ask- ed very politely. "He was recommended to Fret Wnritio Inwna, tt 1. , 1 , by Craig Wood," said Elliott I - - - - ' "A wonderful break for both L. A. Davis.
