Naming Bine Hidge Chimp
Nexi Big Item In Sports;
Meeting Is Set Wednesday
The next big question mark in
he sports world will be answered
Wednesday night, when the mem
oers of the Blue Ridge Confer
ence meets in Asheville to declare
hes winner of the 1953 football
championship of the conference.
There are two principal con
tenders for the coveted cup and po
sition?Waynesville and Marshall..
Wayuesville has played six teams
in the conference and won every
?ame. Marshall has played five con
ference teams and won all five.
Marshall suggested meeting
Waynesville in a post-season play
off in an effort to determine the
winner. This has never been done
before. The conference champion
has always been declared by a vote
of the members on the team's rec
ords for the season.
Coach C. E. Weatherby said 10
lays prior to the Thanksgiving
game with Canton: "regardless of
the outcome of the game with Can
on on Thanksgiving, that is the
last football game for the Moun
'aineers this season."
Some pressure from outside the
county was put on the Waynesville
coach to play a post-season game
with Marshall, but he felt it was
impractical and so did 30 of the
members of th'- 36-man squad.
Waynesville tried to schedule
other conference teams before the
season, but only got six, and played
each one of them.
Marshall has already played one
more game this season than per
mitted under the present state
rules. They did, however, get spe
cial permission to play Canton on
the 19th, and it counted as a con
ference game.

Guard Jimmy Frady, co-captain
of the Mountaineers; tackle Harold
McClure, and fullback J. W. Stev-'
ens were selected on the first team.
wAile center Joe Sparks was nam
ed to the third team.
Chosen as captain of the first
team was Canton's Charlie Car
penter, who, along with McClure,
was the only repeater from, 1952
on the all-star aggregation.
Other Haywood gridders on the
WNC squad are Canton's Charles
Wilson, an end, and Bruce Smath
ers, center, both on the second
team, and Bill Deitz of Bethel,
tackle, listed on the third team.
The Times gave this description
*
of the Waynesville player*:
"Jimmy Frady?one of the most
talked about 'little men' in WNC
schoolboy grid circles ... a small
package of dynamite capable of
holding his own on both offense
and defense with the biggest of
them."
"Harold McClure ? one of the
section's most outstanding line
men . . . terrific on both offense
and defense . . . one of two re
peaters from last year."
"J. W. Stevens?the only sopho
more to gain a berth on the first
team ... a powerful running back
already heralded as a college pros
pect ... a high knee action and <
a deceptive stride made him one I
of the hardest men to bring d9wn
in the Blue Ridge conference . . . I
watch him go next year."
#"Joe Sparky?good snapper . . .!
another in a long line of good
Mountaineer pivot men."
