A run and a penalty got the ball to the 17, and nooerison ana Freeman carried on to the 10. Steele got to the six, and Randall went to the one, and then went oyer. However, his extra was wide and it was only six to hoth ing. . Another fumble in the third quarter set up the second East score. Street of Valdese recovered Ramsey's bobble on about the 10- ya.rd.lme. Randall drove to the one as. the quarter ended, and scored as the last period began. Again his kick was no good. ; Deweese decided to out the Wet back in the ball game at that point omn ouimsi uui. largely used as a line backer in the first half, he had been shifted to safety, and frnm that soot he took the kiekoff on his goal line and started down the Hold Eluding tackier after tackier, get ting good blocking, he was on the mid-field stripe with only, one man between him and the goal. There he slipped,-however; the clutchlne fingers of that one man reached out and brought him down. In running back a punt a little later the same " thing happened again. Deweese seemed certain to be on his way in both cases, but luck was not . with him, or Wayne Kelley, and his bid for glory failed. However he was to have the hon or of scoring the only East touch down even if he carried it only from the one. Randall, for East, had faded back to punt on fourth down, but the pass back was bad and the ball rolled to the 10 where West took over. Rector crashed to the one and Deweese went the rest of the way, . ..

For the first time in its history the game was considered a finan cial success. Star players were se lected from east and western North Carolina high schools.

The Mountaineers have achieved far more than the pessimistic coach was willing to predict last September, but much hard work and effort has been required. Elsewhere on these pages over the past months we have attempted to cover the facts of the Mountaineers. It was not always easy and the fear remains that perhaps injustice was done to some deserv ing player. If so, the only thing that can now be done is to say that if sometime in the future you remark: "I was a member of the '51 Mountaineers," people will know you as a good football player." MORE ABOUT Banquet (Continued from Page 4) ent as guests will be 80 others; players, cheer leaders, majorettes, band leaders, and any or all others who played a part in the successful season just completed. Principal speaker will be Coach Tom Rogers of Wake Forest Col lege; . A limited number of tickets are on sale, 150 of them, and they are reported moving fast at the Cham ber of Commerce where they may be purchased. Price is $2.50, half of which pays for one of the guest players, band member, cheer lead er, or coach. In other words, every one buying a ticket, buys an extra one to make the banquet pos sible. .,,.,, l s. J Fines Creek Cagers Get Double Win Fines Creek, under Its capable coach, Joe Turner, has revealed Us 195K52 basketball schedule. The season got under way with a game at Spring Creek Friday night and continues next Friday at Rosman, Waynesville is duo on Dec. 11th, and Clyde comes to Fines Creek on Dec, 14th. Dec. 18th is an open date, but on the 21st the Cherokee Indians play host. After Christmas vaca lions, cage activity resumes" with Canton playing at Fines Creek on Jan. 4lh. Following that on the 8th of January, Spring Creek is host. Rosman visits on the 1 1th and the Hedsklns of Cherokee on the 12th. Making it three home games in a low is Crabtiee-Iron Puff, af ter which. 'there Is an open date. Then Rethel comes to Fines Creek on the 22nd. On Jan, 25th Clyde is host; on the 29lh nothing is scheduled; and on Feb. 1st it will be Canton s turn I to entertain. The 5th is open and on the 8th Crahtree-Iron Dull re pass the hpsultality of Fines Creek. Bethel has her turn on the 15th, and then Waynesville will come over. The date was set for the 22nd but that conflicts with the Cold Medal Tournament, Feb. 18-2H, and will he chunked. ; I (, i Fines Creek Reveals Cage Schedule APPARENTLY the Bountaincers managed to impress the Asheville papers in the Paper Bowl, and there is no doubt that it was well overdue. Of course, the writer for the Citi zen managed to imply that had the field been dry, Jhe gam.e might well have had another outcome. The Times reporter, however, was loud in his praise as his remarks about Wayne Kelley look elsewhere -illustrate. Charlie Justice is' roaming his home hills again, but we expect that he's looking for talent and looking hard. The Bre vard Blue Devils, one of the best teams in the Conference, had him over for a banquet Thursday night. He also attended the Paper Bowl game Wednesday afternoon, and the Optimist Bowl Friday night.

Ontario and Quebec are Canada's leading fur-producing provinces. ' SOMETIMES I agree, in spits of my enjoyment, the high School football is being taken too seriously for its own good. rOn the other hand when I hear about players out to "get" Dick Kazmaier of Princeton, and breaking his nose in the pro cess, I wonder about the college sport. However, all that I suppose is the result largely of reporters. ,To arouse, interest they play up a certain player. The other team believes what j it reads, and figures their only chance to win is to "git the guy early in the game before he can do much damage. And it isn't confined to college either! Ask J. C.

Jack Holt still leads the lop ten Wltlj a season's average of 179.8 Fines Creek got the basketball teasolr underway in fine style Fri day night 'An both lhe boys and girls teams took victories, from Spring Creek. The boys, however, required extra time - In which to amass n two point margin. H. Ferguson was lhe big gun in the Bin attack. She scored 28 out of the 49 total for her team. E. Rathbone also had a good Jilght as she obtained 13 points. Others In the starting lineup were J. Clark, Ledford, Messer and Rogers. Subs consisted of H. Rathbone, D, Rath bone, tthe latter getting eight points), P. Russtell, V. Rathbone; 3. Ferguson, J. Trantham, M. Tran thain, Recler, K. Russell, Davis, and W. Ferguson. Wlllett shot more than half of lhe Spring Creek total of 33. While she was hooping 17, Brown was get ting eight and Caldwell was get ling six. Silvers, Moore, and Keen er made up the rest of the team. The boys were confronted with a stilTer. test that, at the end ot the Wayne Kelley has had little dif ficulty in convincing Mountaineer fans that he is 243, pounds of. the best guard in the conference, but he hasn't had so much success ifi getting the (act across to visiting newsmen. Fans who followed tie team from game to game learned o watch the little fellow as if he were the football, for they knew that where Kelley was so usually was the ball, Newsmen, watching the Mountaineers in action only once or twice, allowed themselves to be diverted by the bigger, more sensational Deweese, or the burley, reliable form of Hooper or Inman. All are good players, and all de serve the highest praise, but sel dom did they deserve It at the ex pense of Kelley. In the Paper Bowl, however, things were ditrerent. At least some o the newsmen. In shop talk before the game, were told to watch Kelley, and their comments were good to hear as the battle progress ed. Of course Deweese still itole the show, and the performance of Ross was nothing less than sensa tional, but the steady consistent play of Wayne Kelley got its re ward at last. v ' Thursday afternoon the Ashe ville Times called Kelley the best and "Most outstanding lineman on the- field."' That wasn't all the Times said either In an article writ ten by Al Geremonte, sports editor. In discussing Kelley the words and music went: "The slim, vicious tackling youngster climaxed a bril liant performance In that hectic third period. Kelley made three fourths of the tackles In that cliuk ker. Ilils face a bloody mask, lie neither gave miarter nor asked tor It as time and again his low charge carried him Into the Newberry backfield." hi Humming up. the Times, who had put Kelley on the All-Selwla-tic third string, admitted thnt Kel ley was the outstanding guard i on the "Top Wcstorn Ciirollna school hoy team," ' ..-A Wayne Is only a junior. Next) year with the Mountaineers m should achieve M greatest fllory and vitally aid his team In defend ing tno championships they so com pletely deserved this year. " regunr game found the teams fled at 41 all. Billy Rathbone led the attack for Fines Creek, getting'M points In all. J. Green had XOrJf. Rathbone had 2, Bobby Rogeri'got 4, and D. Rathbone fired 2.

That question is impossible to answer, but the chances of an allirmative re ply seem to be increasing, every day. Just obtained a clip ping in the mail from W. T. Eller out at the Country Club. The clipping is from the Ft. Lauderdale uauy iews ana it is headed, "Miami B Team Punter Expected To Shatter Hurri cane Records." The item goes on to discuss plans of Miami coaches for converting Sutton from an end into a T formation quarter back. Sutton is given credit for being a good passer already, but, says the Daily News, "his ball handling lacks deception." TENNESSEE is great and her players know it. Having that knowledge they can afford gestures that would be un thinkable oh a team where a coach was deliberately attempt ing to stir up competition for every post. Recently, we read, that a player asked the coach to let his understudy play as much as possible in an effort to win the Southern Conference ;nct ran. The coach aereed and Herky Payne now leads the league in scoring. You've .heard of the guy who inter vened, Who was willing to give up a iew neauunr . ivu, of his backstop: his name will be on every All-American: Hank Lauricella. iJUST in passing and in winding up this column for the day and the football season for the year, I would like to note that Hot Springs defeated Lake Lure the other day, 39-18. If you recall, Hot Springs was the first team the Cardinals of Clyde were able to beat this year, and they beat them badly. Wonder what kind of a team Lake Lure has? Park Theatre Program MON. & TUES.
