Sidelights
Of The Game
Bad news for a lot of faithful
fans is the fact that for the first
time in the series the Thanksgiv
ing game will be the conference
.battle. Thus, while the victory of
the Mountaineers gave a lot of
satisfaction to a lot of people, it
did not contribute toward the
Blue Ridge championship. The
Mountaineers will have to win
again. It did seem a bit unjust that
the first of a two game series
should be the deciding one, and
Coach Weatherby agrees.
got three out of four.
Cars were lined almost bumper
to bumper for most of the 12
miles from Wayncsville to Canton
as almost everyone decided to get
there earlyi- It was even worse on
the return trip us everyone decid
ed to gel home at the same time.
Officials ai the game were try
ing to control the clock from the
field by means of a Walkic-Talkie.
After a few minutes, however
they gave up and announced that
the eloek was no longer the offi
cial time. At the end of the game
the clock was only two seconds
off the stopwatches, however.
The loss of the coin at the be
ginning of the game was certainly
well recorded. At least five camera
men only three' had cameras
were on the field "shooting" ns the
coin spun upwards. . , ; ,
Crowd almost went crazy on the
"Sleeper" plays. Folks rooting for
the Mountaineers were trying to
warn them while the Bear fans
were - trying to . drown out the
warning. Quite a racket resulted

The Mountaineers won the first
Canton-Waynesvllle game of the
season Friday night as the newly
educated toes of Beauford GiUl
land provided the winning margin
in a wide-oflen battle In Canton's
Memorial Stadium, It was a non
Conference game.
More than 5,000 fans crowded In
to see the 44th renewal of the ser
ies and watch "Chucking Charlie"
Carpenter's long passes compete
with an 88-yard klckoff return by
J. C. Deweese for thrills and
scores. After a 26-point splurge in
the final quarter, the dust settled
with Waynesville ahead 27 to 25.
I Canton made use of the time
worn "sleeper" play, and proved
its effectiveness by scoring two
touchdowns with it. . The passing
arm of Carpenter was a constant
1 threat that caused the Mountain
j eers to use a zone defense instead
I of their usual man to man. Defense
1 was not too conspieious due to the
many scores, but both teams were
1 strongly resisting. Waynesville, for
! example, was unable to make a first
down on the ground during the en
tire first quarter, and made only
one during the second.
The game, was less than three
minutes old when the hard charg
ing Mountaineer line won their
weese. lie picked up a fumbled ball first break. Deweese recovered a
and ran about ninety yards while fumble on the Canton 2, and then
the crowd laughed and no one pur-after two plays, tossed a pass to
Teddy Owens who galloped the en
tire distance. Then Gilliland, who
began kicking extra points in prac
tice only the previous Wednesday,
booted it over as perfectly as if he

Coach Weatherby didn't look too
much like a victorious coach after
the game. Obviously he wasn't hap
py about the way his big lead fad
ed away in the last quarter, nor
was he very pleased that his team
should fall twice for the same trick
the "sleeper".
The bands put on quite a show
during the half. It was the first
time in the history of the school
that the two bands had played to
gether as a unit. One of the best il
lustrations the band put on was
how Radio Free Europe can pene
trate the Iron Curtain. That form
ation was complete even to
"squeaks" representing radio sig
nals.

Wonder how many of the 5,000
people watching the game knew
that Canton's Chili Durnette weighs
only 120 lbs It would seem rath
er dangerous to put a little fiuy
like that on the same field with
Scratch Inman, say. But Burnette
is good. t
The game was broadcast from
the top of the Press Box. At that
they were fortunate In some wass
for the inside of the Box was as

Co-Captain J. C, Deweese won the toss, at the start of the Waynes-ville-Canton
game before 5000 fans Friday night. Referee Woody '
Griffin Is shown indicating tlie winner of the toss. Co-Captain
Scratch Inman is right behind the referee. (Staff Photo).
It was encouraging to see amid
the bedlam of the game's end. that
the black and red were walking off
the field with arms around the
gold and black. The field was cov.
ered in an instant, but the sight
of the two teams displaying real
sportsmanship was the most con
spicuous thing of all.

had been doing it for years. It was
the first lime this season that Way
nesville has attempted to kick an
extra point.
The game sagged back and forth
for the rest of the quarter, Deweese
blocked a punt, then later attempt
ed a lateral that flopped. Reverses
and double reverses added excite
ment; Kelley, for the Mountaineers,
played a beautiful game then and
later in breaking them up. The
Black Bears employed a quick kick
several times in the game, but an
offside penalty brought . the one
back to be kicked over in the first
quarter.
The second quarter began with
Canton holding the ball on the
fifty. It was then that Carpenter
opened up. Gibson broke up his
first attempt, but in rapid succes.
sion he tossed one to Stamey on
the 25 and another to Cabe for the
score. The plunge for the extra
point failed, and the score was to
remain 7 and 6 for the remainder
of the half.
- One thrilling moment came when
Harold McClure threw Carpenter
back to the 6-yard line as he at
tempted another pass. Morgan then
had his kick partially blocked on
the Canton 31. and the Mountain
eers were threatening as the half
ended.
During the interval a very im
pressive program was put on by
the combined Canton and Waynes
ville bands. The Crusade for Free
dom was the theme, and formations
included a radio tower, an Iron
Curtain, and a Freedom' Bell.
Early In the third quarter, a de
termined Canton team, aided by a
quick kick, a 15 yard penalty, and
a recovered lateral, moved into
scoring position. A pass from Car
penter to .Hardin made it first
down on the Waynesville eight, and
three short passes involving the
