SPORTS TRAIL 1
By W. CURTIS RUSS ?
es No Way Of Telling J
that is. just how a football will bounce, and one *
<0r fuinl.le often means the difference between victory J
(lV:it Which is just another way of saying that np t
lould take the outcome of a football so seriously that t
Jllll0t realize the uncertain element that accompanies
game. ]
i g.Kxl example the part Lady Luck plays in football i
i can he clearly seen in the Brevard team this year. <
fear the Blue Devils were Blue Ridge Champions. This ;
their team was even stronger than their 1952 edi- ,
fet this year they got the bad breaks, and out of an >
g schedule won four, tied two, and lost two. Tbey play- 1
tellent ball at times, and that can be proven by the ,
call they gave Waynesville in the 19-20 game on the i
revard is a better team than their season record shows, '
at is football. i
V saw Duke and Purdue battle it to the clpsing seconds <
game at a 14-14 tie. Then "Red" Smith juggled a long
in his fingertips for what seemed ages before getting !
igrip on the ball just as he was tackled on the 7-yard i
The next play saw Duke's Jerry Barger score and 1
the tie.
week later, in New York, the Duke Blue Devils got
k to the Army goal they could sniffle the chalk dust
ir nostrils, and in four tries, failed to make the inches, 1
lereby lost the game. That time their luck ran out.
i Greeneville the other night, with seven fumbles
the game, Waynesville got the chance to capitalize
i biggest break with one minute and thirty seconds
i play. The Mountaineers' luck held until they crossed
al. and made the extra point.
ast year, the Mountaineers were in Greeneville's one
ne. and at the rate they were going through the line,
have scored, and at least tied the game, if not have
, but time ran out together with the luck the Moun
rs had mustered in the closing moments of the game.
I lis year, in the Waynesville-Canton game, there is
?eason to believe Waynesville could have scored in 15
econds. Once again time and luck ran out.
er at Cullowhee, the records are not too encouraging
victory column, but the team has played good ball,
tmost of their games by a single point. Their luck has
itraordinary hard all season. There again, is a better
lan the records alone show.
e record books are filled with hundreds of other in
like these, which go to prove that luck plays a big
football victories. And for that reason, a fan should
ipame with that in mind, and enjoy the game, win
band never take the gesults as a major calamity.
Irts Pick Navy Over Duke
iy the Duke Blue Devils will be up against an
e team. The Army is the only team to trounce
ear. The experts expect the Navy will be riding
vith a strong wind from astern, as they meet
lav. Last week the Navy was sunk by the Notre
hut they are ready this week with a full head
ad the throttle open.
nd Bethel Should Win
's Black Bears should come home Friday night
?ver the Marion Rippers. Never discount the
be Marion team, however, but the Bears' rest of
he in favor for another victory,
should be able to please a homecoming crowd
moon as they meet the Franklin Panthers. The
across Cowee are small, fast, and .tricky. ;Th#y

lied Emotions ?
frson, or persons, responsible for pushing Coach
idburn from the top of the bleachers in a Mars
im. where he was a spectator, will probably re
thousands of times the fact that thev let un
emotions overcome better judgment. The coach
inltiple fracture of his arm as he was pushed
the bleachers. There again is an example of
Person with such uncontrallable emotions should
from all sports events.

From. Hot Dogs
To Pigskin
COLLEGE STATION, Tex. (AP)
?A couple of hot dogs?or maybe
it was three?brought Texas A&M
a top football player.
He is Bob Easley. former star
Houston High School gridder. He
was taken on a trip to Dallas to
see a professional football game
by some Baylor alumni. There he
had hot dogs for lunch.
The Southwest Conference ruled
that Easley had been lavishly en
tertained so far as Its rules were
concerned. If the bov had been tak
en to Waco to see BaVlor play, it
would have been all right. But the
rule says a boy can't be entertain
ed some other place.
Eo Easley was told he would lose
two years of eligibility if he wen*
to Baylor ? his freshman and hi?
sophomore years. He went to Bay
lor anyway but stayed only a vear
Then he transferred to Texa?
A&M. getting a release from Coacl
George Sauer of Bavlor. At A&Y
he would have a full eligibility
schedule. He played freshman foot
ball last vear and now he's on t.h<

Mistake Won Ball Game
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) ? This
is about a mistake that turned in
to a bit of good fortune and won
a ball game.
Lincoln was playing Pueblo in
a Western League game when a
Lincoln outfielder was injured.
Manager Walt Linden sent in a
sub to run for the injured man
but the sub was waved off the
field. Linden had forgotten to list
him on the pre-game roster. So'
pitcher Andy Bush was pressed
into duty.
Bush, making his first appear
ance as an outfielder, made two
nice .catches. Then he hit a homer
to win the game.
Al Spanglcr, Duke's nutsaariding
center fielder during the past base
ball season, led the team in hitting
with a .384 mark. He also led in
runs, hits, home runs and stolen
bases. r?M
Lightning Bug Juice
Aids Angler >
ELLINGTON, Mo. (AP) ? Ray
Dusenberry claims the Clearwater
Lake record for the biggest fish
taken on a fly rod. And he credits
his success to the use of lightning
bug juice.
His catches in three weeks in
cluded a 24-pound carp as well as
three catfish, one weighing 301
pounds. All were caught on a dry
fly
He ties the fly with rabbit fur
and a chicken feather on a tiny
minnow hook. But what makes it
a killer, he says, is the lightning
bug juice. He smears the bug
juice on the fly to give a a lumi
nous effect. He carries a pint bot
tle of lightning bugs because the
fly needs a new treatment every
15 minutes.
