Wesley ?Ai I'niversity has kepi limit \ College from a perfect gridiron season on three ocraaiont n recent years The traditional rivalry between the two tearm fates back to 1RH5 The Blue Ridge Conference foot hall champion for 1954 will be named bv a vote of conference coaches at a meeting at the Ashe vllle Army Store Monday night, it has been announced by C. C. Poin doxter of Bethel, loop secretary. Coaches a I mi will select a team to represent the conference in the NCHSAA football playoffs, nomi nate players for an all-conference team, and discuss the coming bas ketball season A special invitation has also been extended to Andrews High School officials to attend the meeting so that a playoff between the cham pions of the Smoky Mountain and the Blue Ridge conferences can be arranged The > choice for the champion ship lies between Black Mountain Swannanoai which holds the only perfect loop record, and Hcnder sonvllle, which has lost once but has won the most games within the conference. Unless they should be upset by Mars Hill, the Waynesville Moun taineers probably will take third place in the Blue Ridge cireuit. Midget Team Meets Bethel <4 Here Tonight The Baby Mountaineers will play Ihtir fourth and final game of the season against Bethel here tonight at 7 p m. at the Waynevllle stadi um Proeeods will go to buy uni i ; forms for the team. Midget teams play only seven minute quarters, so games are play ed in about one hour The Baby Mountaineers have I' beaten Canton. l#-7. in one game. I while losing 13-6 and 22-0 in two ?, j other meetings II The team is coached by Bill Sut ?'sun kbit1 m Here And Yonder The Sportscope Fly IlOn CONWAY The Canton Gra-Y Hears have been the "Notre Dame" of midget football in this state for the past several years, but YVavnes ville's Bab: Mountaineers beat the Tar Heel champions two weeks ago, 12-7. Although the Cantonians won in two other games with the local midgets this season. Waynesville's triumph in the second of the series proves what can he done if the community will get back of its youngsters. Although the season is near its end, you can still help by com ing out to the YVTHS stadium at 7 p.m. tonight when the Baby Moun taineers play their final game of the year against Bethel. Midgets play only seven-minute quarters, so you'll be home again b\ 8:15 or thereabouts, i A cake sale will be held tut Main St. Saturday for the benefit I of the Baby Mountaineers to go along with the proceeds 'front the Bethel game tonight. We understand that the Waynesville youngsters nearly froze Mondav night while playing Canton beeause they larked sufficient uniforms and equipment, while the Gra-Y Bears were perfectly equipped for the cold breezes. We said hack in September that Waynesville can't call itself a football town if it chooses to ignore the needs of small fry who want to pla\ football. Nothing has happened to make us change those senti- \ mcnts. They're your boys, so get behind them! ' * Tobacco Bowl Bid Apparently the Mountaineers made a strong impression 011 Greeneville officials- on Octtoer 29 when the powerful Green Devils had to come from behind to tie the Mountaineers. 14-14. Only a week later the Tennesseans contacted Coach Weatherby to invite him to bring his charges to meet an East Tennessee team in the annual To bacco Howl game in Greeneville. Unfortunately, however, the YVaynesville maestro had to de cline the kind invitation, due to North Carolina High School Athletic Association regulations against post-season games ? other than state playoffs. Allen's Debut Successful The Sportscope would like to congratulate Coach Boyd Allen lit Canton for the fine job he did in piloting the Black Bears to wins this season over Bethel. Sand Mill. Brevard. Valdese. Asheville School. Blue Kidge. and Marion. Even in defeat, the bruins always managed to look good. A 7-3 record is nothing for a new coach to be ashamed of. and the Black Bears are likely to be even tougher next year. Odds And Ends We've never seen any better job of pilfering enemy aerials than Tommy Nichols did in the Marshall clash . . . the Mountaineers sorely missed Charles Howell and Jimmy Harris Monday night . . . some of Marshall's players would have done well to don boxing gloves . . although Ulark Mountain-Swannanoa undoubtedly has a strong team - - - as shown by victories over Marshall and Brevard - - - we can't see how Blue Hidge Conference coaches can help but give Hen dersonville the pigskin crown this season . why is it that penalties have forced W'aynesville to win most of their games this year "the hard way"? . . the Mountaineers did much better in handling the ball at Marshall than we did our clip hoard: we lost our notes on fumbles twice along the sidelines. Uardinais, Blue Demons ; Play Away Opened on September 4 when Canton met Bethel, the 1954 loot ball season-in Haywood County will b? brought to an end tomor row night with one game sched uled in the county and two more slated on foreign soil. The Waynesville Mountaineers will play their second game this week in entertaining, the Mars Hill Wildcats at the WTHS sta dium, while both Bethel and Clyde head south ? the Blue Demons to face powerful Hendrsonville and the Cardinals to take on Try on. Although crippled by several in juries. Waynesville should be able to overcome the Madison County felines in the grand finale. (That's what a lot of people thought at Hendersonville, however, i Frustrated by two straight ties against Brevard and Grecnevillo and able to win by only one point against Marshall on Monday night, the Mountaineers probably will be in a frame of mind to go all out against mars run to acnieve an impressive victory. A win tomorrow night will give the Gold and Black a 6-1-2 record and third place in the Blue Kidge Cnference race this season ? won last year by the Mountaineers with their "stone wall" line. Charles Howell, a tackle, and Jimmy -Harris., an end, missed the Marshall game entirely Monday night, while several other high landers were hobbling around and | seeing only limited service. Co captain Joe Aldridge broke his nose in the first quarter against the Tornadoes, but stayed in the battle with a face mask and prob ably will be ready to go tomorrow night. Looking southward, the Bethel Blue Demons are expected to have their hands full trying to slow down the Hendersonville Bear cats, who have conquered seven Blue Ridge Conference opponents. If comparative scores mean any thing. Bethel will rate as a 56-point underdog against Hendersonville? using both team's plav against Waynesvillc as a basis for judg ment. Although the Blue Demons have beaten the Bearcats the past two years, it appears that the Pigeon, i pigskiners are going to end their ?eason with a 5-5 mark. Still, upsets do happen, so the Demons can afford to shoot the works against Coach Bob Tate's boys. Still looking for their first win of the season, the Clyde Cardinals at Tryon will meet another squad that lias usually been on the losing end of their gridiron contests. The Cards have shown promises I in several games, and may be able to pull this ont out of the fire, Morgan Williams, captain of the 1953 T.C.U. football team, is help ' ing coach the T.C.U. freshman line this season.
