The Class AA meet will be held March 3-4-5-6. while the Class A tourney is slated for March 11-12 13, The tournament sites have not yet been definitely determined. Hifips said. All high school teams in District IV are eligible to compete in the preliminary playoffs leading to berths in the annual state tourna ments. The district includes the counties of Cherokee, Graham, Clay. Swain, Macon. Jackson. Transylvania. Hen derson. Haywood. Buncombe, Mad ison. Yancey, Avery. McDowell. Rutherford and Polk. The district tournaments are limited to eight teams in each clas sification. Hipps said he did not an ticipate niore than eight entries in the Class AA meet, but that it would probably be necessary to have sectional playoffs within the district to boil the Class A field down to eight entries. Game Lost BROADUS, Mont. 'AP> ? Ed Portwine proudly hung his hunt ing prize, an elk. in a tree to cool overnight. A hungry bear was hunting, too, that night. His hunt for food ended with Poftwine's elk. In the morning Portwine found little of the elk to take home The Sports Scene PRO and CON By BOB CONWAY Mountaineer Staff Writer Probably the best word to describe the present situation in Haywood County basketball circles is "confused." In other words, there are no clear-cut indications as to which team is likely to emerge as county champion when the six Haywood schools battle it out in Canton next month. As is often the custom, the title race mainly concerns Waynesville, Canton, and Bethel. But, beyond that, it's any body's guess as to what might happen. Two weeks ago, after Waynesville beat Canton with comparative ease, it appeared that the Mountaineers were the class of the county. Bethel also bopped the bruins that same week, hut had to go all out to win a 4-point victory, whereas WTHS Toasted home with a 14-point triumph. Things were looking bright for WTHS, and then along came llendersonville and Bethel . . . and the roof caved in? twice. Although the Mountaineers performed creditably a , gainst the llendersonville quintet, they seemed baffled a few ! nights later in attempting to stem the tide of Bethel baskets. Last week's Waynesville victories over Fines Creek and Brevard didn't clear up the picture too much since both were expected. The "fog" got even thicker last Friday when Charlie Carpenter and Co. entertained Bethel on the Can ton planks and put the Blue Lemons over the barrel, 75.58. So it appears that the cage customers will have to wait un til Waynesville plays encores with Bethel and Canton before anyone can do any more than make a wild guess as to what will transpire at tournament time. On the distaff side, barring upsets, it appears that Waynesville and Bethel will scrap it out for the girls eham pionship. The Mountainettes drooped their opener against Crabtree-Iron Duff, but bounced back to beat their next eight opponents?including an impressive win over the pre viously undefeated Bethel Belles. (The next clash between Linda Welch of Waynesville and Peggy Edwards of Bethel will be a lulu!) Where's The Battle? In his sports column "Rambling With the Sports Edi tor." in last week's issue of the Transylvania Times, John I. Anderson wrote: "QITTE A SQUABBLE ... It is interesting to note the verbal battle between the sports writers of the Ashe ville papers and the Waynesville Mountaineer. Last week the Asheville Times in its weekly round-up and rating of WNC basketball teams rated the powerful Waynesville club in seventh place, while the Canton team was rated fifth?even though the Bears had suf fered three defeats, while Waynesville w'as undefeated. We quote from the Mountaineer: "Now that the Swift steamrollers have flattened the Bears, we'll be anxious to see how the Mountaineers fare in the ratings this week." Then we noted on Tuesday morning a big spread in the Asheville daily that Waynesville is now knocking on the Blue Ridge conference door. And so we'll let "em battle it out: We have our problems too." We appreciate his mention of our column, but we'll have I to take issue with Brother Anderson over his mention of a ! "verbal battle." To the best of our knowledge, neither the | Mountaineer nor the Times has declared war on each other, and we don't believe that either side is contemplating any act of aggression. Our job is to report the doings of the Waynesville Mountaineers, not to trade insults with other sports writers. All "Pro and Con" did two weeks ago was to mention that it seemed odd a team beaten three times (Canton) should be rated higher than an undefeated (at that time) i team (Waynesville). However, those ratings were not the j fault of the Times, but rather of some of the coaches in the ) Blue Ridge Conference who decide the standings. After their impressive victory over Canton two weeks ago. Waynesville went up in the ratings the following week. All Six Of Haywood's Teams Slated For Action All six of Haywood County's basketball teams will be in action Tuesday night for the first time since the Christmas holidays. Al though a number of games have been played this month, at least one of the county's teams have been idle on game nights. Waynesville will play a return engagement with Clyde here; Bethel will spread the welcome mat for Fines Creek; Crabtree Iron Duff will entertain Spring Creek, and Canton will journey to Sand Hill. The WTHS basketeers defeated Clyde twice in December, but the outcome of games toworrow night is something of a question mark with Joe Aldridge and Billy Leatherwood out of the boys line up and Linda Welch and Margaret Walker absent from the girls' sex tet. However, substitutes played very well for both Waynesville squads against Brevard Friday night, so the local sharpshooters may be able to wrap up two more victories against Clyde. Bethel will be favored to take Fines Creek, while Crabtree-Iron Duff appears to have an edge on j Spring Creek. Canton's Black I Bears, playing improved ball late- | ly, should bite a couple of hunks out of Sand Hill. Crabtree-Clyde Game Postponed Due To Snow The scheduled game Fridaj night between the varsity squads of Crabtree-Iron Duff and Clyde high schools was postponed due to snow Coach Fred L. Safford of C'rabtree announced this morning The game has been rescheduled for February 12 at Crabtree. A junior varsity game was play ed Fridav night, however, with the Clyde fledglings nosing out the Crabtree-Iron Duff juniors. 30-29 Spectacles were first invented aroud 1285 A. D.

As to where the Mountaineers should he rated in the conference now, it's difficult to say. With all the conference teams blowing hot and cold, the coaches who make up the ratings must be pulling their cranium covers. ? Mountaineers Top Brevard 46 -37; Girls Win 56 -25 ! Canton Beats Bethel Boys; Belles Win After dropping a four-point deci sion to Bethel earlier in the season, Canton came back last night to wallop the Blue Demons 75-58. The Bethel Belles, however, salvaged some satisfaction for the Pigeon point-makers by beating the Lady Bears. 60-39 Looking like the Charlie Car penter of old. Canton's ace eager racked up 35 points to lead the bruifls?aided by Gerald Milner and Williamson with a dozen apiece. Toby Capps, with 21. was high for the Demons. Peggy Edwards, as usual, led the Bethel Belles with 28 points, while Kosa Parton collected 13 points for the Lady Bears. Girls' lineup: Canton (39) Bethel (60) F?Surrett <9> P.

The Mountaineers led by only one point at the intermission, 15 14. but pulled away in the second half to win their eighth victory of the season. The Waynesville girls, however, piled up an early lead and were in front 24-10 at halftime. Ie reference to the four players who missed the Brevard game. Coach C. E.
