?ton, Bethel Open County Grid Season At Canton Saturday Night
Blue Demons
Have Strong
Grid Squad
History will be made at Canton J
stadium Friday night when the !
Canton Black Bears and the Bethel !
Blue Demons meet on the grid- j
iron for the first time in the his
tory of the two schools.
In basketball, however, the Hay
wood institutions have been strong
rivals for years and battled it out
last "March for the county cage
title, which was won by Canton. j
For Coach C. C. Poindexter it \
will also be homecoming since the
Pigeon mentor coached the Black '
Bears for 13 years, during which
time he won 100 games.
The game Saturdav night will
be plaved as the opening event of
Canton's big annual Labor Day
celebration. The Labor Day Queen
will be presented during the game.
Generally, Canton packs heavier
gridiron weapons than Bethel, but
the Blue Demons have more than
a slight chance to bop the bruins
in their initial encounter.
Coach Poindexter has the high
est number of lettermen return
ing in the county and unlike most
mournful football coaches, he ad
mits franklv that "we'll be better
balanced, faster, and have more
reserve serength."
In the Blue Demon backfield
Saturday night will be ace passer
Charles Stamey, Troy Hargrove,
Toby Capps, and Edwin Mann.
Stamey and Capps both tip the
scales at 180. The other two weigh
in at around 160.
The line will include:
Worth Wells and Gerald Owen ;
at end, Clyde Duckett and Roy
Warren at tackle, Charles Cathev
and L. M. West at guards, and
Bob McFals at center.
One of the most valuable per
formers of the six lost by gradua
fullback Charles Singleton, who
gained a lot of real estate for the
tion at Bethel was line-busting
Blue and White last year. Another
niche was left vacant in the back
field by James Green.
Dependable linemen lost weie
Guy and Charles Mease, guards,
and Bill Blalock and Bill Deit7 at
guard
although played at Canton, the
same will be counted as i home
game for Bethel
Absent from Canton's lineup
will be the familiar "17" marking
potent performer "Chucking f'har
lie"*Carpcnter, ace passer a.id dc
ceptive runner, who was a con
stant threat to Black Bear oppon
ents for three years
A number of other stellar per
formers from last year's CIIS grid
iron machine will also be conspie
ous by their absence.
However, Coach Boyd Allen has
10 letterinen back and is likely to
come up with another tough team, j
According to information seeping]
from the Black Bears' Ben, the j
bruins this year will be lighter fn
both the line and baekfield.
Considered for the starting line
up are;
Charles West, Dick Paten, Bruce ]
Smathers. or Gerald Milner at
ends: Charles Wilson and Dean
Matthews at tackles; Frank Me-!
Cracken, Neal Cody and Charles
Roner at guards. Frank McCracken
at center; Dewayne Milner. D Can
non. B. Stamev, Mitchell F.arjy. j
Wilev Carpenter, and .laekie Wor

to the Detroit Lions' 1954 squad.
