Sylva Teams Here Friday Night; WTHS Wins Twice Over Clyde 11 By BOB CONWAY , Settling down after a shaky j start, the Waynesville Mountain eers downed the Clyde Cardinals 1 here Tuesday night. 56-33. after ' the Mountainettes had caged the Cardinalettes, 63-34. 1 The double victory represented .1 the fifth win for the Waynesville boys and the fourth for the girls. , With some neat shooting early ] in the game, the Cardinals led throughout' most of the first quar ter until the last few seconds of ( the period when Tommy Nichols ( stole the ball and drove in for a , iayup to put WTHS ahead. 12-10. The Gold and Black widened the margin to 36-20 at the half and 43- ? 25 at the three-quarter mile post, , Tommy Nichols, steady and de pendable. collected 25 points, and : .lor Aldridge contributed another 14 Center Charles Jolley was the I big gun for the visitors with 13 ; < points. 11 The Mountaineers performed 1 better than in their last start < against Crabtree-Iron DufT, but should have gotten more offensive rebounds and were not too suet s ful in halting the Cardinals' drive for the baslcet after taking the ball from the center. Clyde could have narrowed the nargin considerably with more ikill from the foul line, but the Cardinals caged only 13 out of 31 "ree throws. The Mountaineers did ?veil percentage-wise with 9 hits jut of 13 foul tosses. Waynesvillc will close its pre aoliday cage campaign against Sylva here Friday night.

Hendersonville Bearcats at Canton Tuesday night was climaxed by a1 free-for-all and ejection of all 10 players from the game with two and a half minutes to go. The stage for the melee was set when Canton started freezing itu bal! in the final minutes of play to protect its slim lead, As the tension mounted and the Bearcats grew more frustrated, a Honderspnville player is reported to have dived for the ball and instead hit a Canton player's body. Referee Dusty i Rhodes promptly called a foul on, the offender, but as the Henderson-: ville player held up his hand and started to walk to the foul line, the Cantonian took a swing at the Bearcat baskefeer. Some fans joined the skirmish. I but the officials finally got things cooled off and put all 10 players out of the game and let substitutes finish the contest. Center David Anderson paced the Black Bears with 20 points, while Rat Whitmire meshed 18 for the Hendersonville quintet. In the lid-lifter, freshman for ward Bessie Phillips hit 46 points to lead the Canton Lady Bears to a 84-46 triumph over the Bearkit *ens.

However, the Mountaineers have yet to encounter such power hour's as Canton. Bethel, and Hendcrsonvuie, so the attendance ? ex cept for the Crabtree game ? has not been too good. The turnout for Clyde Tuesday night was hardly enough to pay the light bill. Although the Mountaineers and Mountainettes are both still unconquered, it may not be until after the Christmas holidays before ' the cash customers can tell just how good the Waynesville basketeers really are. Thus far they have shown promise but still look ragged at ?imes with poor passing, defensive lapses, and failure to hit what ap pear to be easy l^yups or bank shots. In January, WTHS will meet Canton. Hendersonville, and bethel in the space of eight days. Those games should quickly tell 'he tale. bethel's Ovm 0??ninpr DpIbvpH Bethel was scheduled to open its fine new gvmnasium tomor -nw niffht aeainst Hendersonville. but shiriment of "foldaway" seats Has been delayed until the first of January. So the Blue Demons have -oviscd their schedule to meet the Bearcats there this week and Can ton at the Paper City on January 3. Both of those tilts were originally scheduled as home games for the Pigeon dribblers. ^necial A*WpH Attraction A triole feature was presented to Canton fans Tuesday night: two basketball games and a boxing card. 'The Black Bears beat Hendersonville three times last sea son and again this week and the Bearcats don't like it even a particle.'

Mars HOI, and Crabtree-Iron Duff, rhe Mountainettes. also undefeat ed. have triumphed over the girls squads of the same schools?except for Christ School, a boys institu-: ?ion. The Bethel Blue Demons, the j only other all-winning boys team in the county, will face a formid able foe in the Hendersonville Bear cats on the Hendersonville hard wood. The Demons whipped Mars Hill, Tuesday night while the Bear cats were losing 67-60 to Canton. The Black Bears, who outpointed Hendersonville ih an exciting con test concluded by a brief free-for all, should have things their own way against the Cardinals. The Lady Bears, whose record the past two seasons has been far less impressive than the boys, trot ted out a freshman forward Tues day night, Bessie Phillips, who toss ed in 46 points for the Canton sex tet in downing the Hendersonville Bearkittens 64-46. Fines Creek, with an open date Tuesday, will return to the cage wars against Spring Creek Friday night. In an earlier meeting with the Madisonians. the Fillies won but the White Hornets were beaten. Crabtree-Iron Duff will be idle tomorrow nieht. After the Christmas holidays, the basketball season will be resumed on January 4. UCLA's only defeat in football last year was a 21-20 setback at the hands of Stanford The latter was beaten three times in 1953.
