J5eaA; Weekend For Haywood Football
By HANK MESSICK
flOW tempers rise in a crisis and how disastrous such
rises can be was shown in Boston the other day With Brook
lyn tense as a result of the cutting of their league lead from
12 games, and with the Giants breathing down their necks,
the situation was ripe. Catcher Roy Campanella protested a
homeplate decision and got removed from the game. It hurt.
A few minutes later in the ninth, the Bums had a chance to
tie up the game. With two men on and one man out it was
clean-up hitter Campanula's time to bat. But he was out of
the game. The pinch hitter bounced out, the next hitter
struck out, and the Dodgers saw their lead cut to a fraction
of a game. Next day it vanished. " v
FORD Frick got the job instead of General MacArthur,
Senator Taft or Dizzy Dean the job of being Commissioner
of Baseball that pays $65,000 a year. He replaces unHappy
Chandler, and is replaced in his job as president of the Nation
al League by Warren G. Giles who gets $55,000. Giles gave
Frick a stiff race for the job of Commissioner, but suddenly
withdrew without explaining. Insiders say a deal was made.
WE won't swear to this, but it's worth repeating. In a
game at Bethel Friday between Christ School and Bethel
High, an announcer was belatedly following the play over a
loudspeaker. The ball was fumbled at the far end of the
field, and for some moments there was uncertainty as to
who had recovered. The announcer was waiting too, and
when finally the signal was piven he exclaimed "Christ!" A
few seconds later he recovered and remarked: "We weren't
cussing, folks; the ball was recovered by Christ School." The
disgust in his voice, however, did sound almost like profanity.
The New York Yankees finally ended the swift-changing
tide "of the American League race Friday by sweeping
ashore with the title on the basis of two wins over the Boston
Red Sox. ; It represents their 18th pennant in 30 years. How
ever, this one did not come easily. The lead changed hands
many times during the stretch, and had Bob Feller, kept his
strength and not dropped two important games near the end
they might have had to change the recording. Allie Ray
nolds pitched his second no-hitter of the season in the climax
and set an American League record himself. " '
IT proved to be something of a sad weekend for .Hay
wood County football as far as the scores were concerned, but
the individual teams and coaches can find plenty of which to
be proud. Clyde went down to Marshall and played to a
scoreless tie. The Mountaineers went down to Anderson, S.
C. and saw some fireworks as the state champion team, minus
three men, won 36 to 13. And Bethel, hitherto undefeated,
was host to Christ School and lost 39 to 0. We. would like to
remind you that Christ School plays the Mountaineers in
three weeks; they are rated high.
DOWN at Bethel Friday, our reporting received some
. think . of a rebuke Seems a gentleman by the name of Billy
Terrill, whom we mentioned in a previous story for his side
line quarterbacking, is 14-years old instead of the 10 we esti
mated. Young for his years, no doubt. , , '
THE Mountaineers can't complain they aren't getting the
following, and the support. An estimated 600 fans followed
them down to Anderson, and supported them loudly. Before
the game, in one cafe, there were more mountaineers than
local people.
THE downfield blocking oi the Yellow Jackets was worth
going down to see. And when they knocked a man down they
sat on him until the whistle blew, giving him no chance to
get up and try again. We're betting that Don King, who mix
ed his passing with long runs, will have his choice of colleges.
Mountaineers
Lose 36-13 To
Anderson, SC
Long runs and long passes fea
tured the Mountaineers' first loss
of the season Friday night, as the
Yellow Jackets of Anderson, S. C.
struck on land and through the
air to overpower them 36 to 13.
Plainly nervous as they faced
last year's South Carolina champs,
the Waynesville team found quick
ly that he who hesitates Is lost. On
the second play from scrimmage,
after taking the kickoff on their
ten, the Mountaineers fumbled be
hind their goal line with only
quick work by Ross making it 'two I
points instead of six against them. !
Stilt unsettled, the Black and
Gold kicked off from their 20-yard
me. No time was given them to
recover as Don King, the outstand
ing player on the field, led a run
ning and passing attack, aided by
penalty, that brought another
score in six plays. The game was
less than five minutes old.
Finally the Mountaineers, their
spirit aroused, got a chance to
catch their breath. Before the big
crowd of around 5.000 people, 400
of whom were mountaineers, "thp
Waynesville boys spearheaded by
DeWeese and Ross managed to pick
up a first down and drive to their
45. But there they stopped, and
the hard charging Yellow Jacket
line promptly blocked Moore's kick,
Nothing happened this time, for
King's passing was not yet hitting
the bullseye, and led by Inman the
Moutaineers did some rushing
themselves. After three incomplete
passes, the Mountaineers took over
and launched a threat that prom
ised to make the game less one
sided. Two first downs were won
before the attack fizzled.
Penalties at critical moments
and King's long passes sparked
an 82-yard drive that made the
score read 15 to 0. Some thrilling
plays involving laterals brought
the crowd to Its feet, and a dogged
defense that almost stopped the
Jackets several times featured the
drive. But the Mountaineers were
playing rough, according to the of
ficials, and it hurt them.
The half was running out and
the Mountaineers had been no clos
er to the enemy goal than the 50
yard line. But finally they began
to move. DeWeese and Ross got
across the mid-field stripe and a
lateral from DeWeese to Carroll
Swanger made it a first down off
the Anderson 27. There they were
halted and had to kick, but for
once the Yellow Jackets Were un
able to move either. Terry Swanger
brought the ball back after the
kick, and the attack was resumed.
Carroll Swanger soon made a
first clown on the Anderson. 7. and
DeWeese went to the four, the
three, the one, and then, with the
clock running out and fourth down,
no was pushed back to the three
There were no fireworks during
the halftime Interval, but they be
gan almost as quickly as the whistle
blew In the second half. Waynes
vllle got a good kickoff to the 12
and immediately tackled the run
ner on the 20. A five yard penalty
made things look still better for
the Mountaineers, but then the
lightning struck. , Don King took
a lateral and took off. For 85 yards
he went behind beautiful blocking
that as he crossed the goal line
had left hardly a single Mountain
eer on his feet. Then Jones kick
ed the extra point and the score
was 22 to 0.

One ot the many exciting' moments in the Waynesville-Anderson game last Friday night. Here the
Mountaineers had driven for a gain in the fourth quarter, Identified can be seen DeWeese (38) and

Alumni Beats lit Could
Kittymounts
A one yard plunge by Don Hipps
provided the winning margin in
the fourth quarter as the old grads
of Canton High defeated the WCTC
B team, the Kittymounts, at Can
ton Saturday night by a score of
12 to 6.
An annual affair as far as the
Canton High Monogram Club Is
concerned,, they pick an outside
foe each year and turn all the
profits over to the benefit of high
school athletics.
I lie old grads gained one less
first down than their younger op
position, 9, and secured 50 yards
less through the air, 47 but they
won the ground game by a decisive
margin of 125 yards to 70.
Be Justice
Dispassionate observers who saw
Charlie Trippi's snaking 75-yard
punt return in the 1947 profes
sional playoffs swear that Trippi
covered at least 150 yards on that
trip. -
One of the highlights occurred
when Charlie stopped short in
front of the Eagle bench to let
a would-be tackier fly past and land
in an abject heap at Coach Greasy
Neale's feet.
Neale leaned over, impaled the
frustrated tackier .with , an Icy
stare, and yelled, ."Get up, you so-
and-so. He 11 be back in a minute!"
sigh of resignation. They were
still relaxed a moment' later 'as
Anderson kicked off and J. C. De
Weese took the ball on his 15 He
also kept going and ' before the
noise had ceased from King's feat,
DeWeese had duplicated It. Ross
made the extra pointy and the
Mountaineers were alive and ready.
It was 22 to 7.
And it didn't stay that way long.
Anderson, somewhat shaken appar
ently, soon fumbled the ball. Ross,
Carroll Swanger, Teddy Owen led
an attack that covered some 40
yards with DeWeese taking the
ball over from the four. The extra
point was not good, but Wavnes
vllle trailed by only nine points
with a quarter and a half left to
piay. ror ine nrst time that even
ing victory seemed possible. v
The rest of the quarter was In
decisive and the issue still hung in
doubt.-Then the blow fell" in two
swift hammer strokes. King took a
punt on his 15 at the beginning of
the last period and went all th'e
Way behind perfect blocking. The
kick was good and the score was
29 to 13, The Mountaineers were
unable to get rolling and had to
kick after an amazing double later
al had' failed to make a first down.
Hooper brought the kick back to
the 20 and then after three plays,
a pass clay took It over and sewed
it up. The kick was good and the
score stood and remained, Ander
son 39, Waynesville 13.
Some good running and a pass
interception featured the remain
der of the game as the Mountain
eers kept trying. The game ended
with the Black and Gold gaining a
first down on the Yellow Jacket 30.
