Bas ketball coach Adolph Rupp, long known for his excitable antics dur ing games, was asked the other day about those two stunning losses Kentucky suffered last win ter by Georgia Tech. Rupp merely grimaced and shrugged. "We beat Georgia Tech 33 times in a row before they beat us. Those things happen. I've never last a moment's sleep over either one of the defeats. You can't let things 1-ke that worry you. Years ago they might have bothered me terribly. But not any more." Unexplained Leg WICHITA FALLS, Tex. (AP)?

(Mountaineer Photo). 275-Pound Lineman Puts Broad Smile On Face Of Monroe Coach Harry Jaynes By BOB CONWAY "Eager but inexperienced" is the way that Coach Harry Jaynes, Waynesville native, described his 1655 Monroe Rebel football team as the squad prepared to return home Friday after a 10-day stay at Camp Adventure near Lake Juna luska. And it appears that his com plaint is justified since the Rebs lost nine of their eleven starters Lorn a 1954 squad that won eight and lost only two. Monroe ended its season in second place in the South Piedmont Conference and vas fifth in the entire state; When interviewed at Camp Ad venture, however, Coach Jaynes was not bemoaning the major re building job he faces this year at Monroe. On the contrary he seems confident. lie feels that way mainly be cause of the presence in his lineup of a gridiron giant ?- Larry "Horse" Howell, who stands 6-5 and weighs 275 in his stocking feet. ('Horse" tipped the scales at 280 before the footbal camp here, hut has lost five pounds in daily drills.) Coach Jaynes asserts that How ell is ks good as he is big. nnd should be the outstanding high s< hool tackle in North Carolina this year. As is often the case, col leges from near and afar are after this pulverizing pigskinner. Howell, however, doesn't supply ail the heft on the Rebels' forward wall. The entire line overages 187 pounds and the backs aren't far behind at 172 pounds. Although Monroe, with a popu lation over 10.000, is larger thar ! Waynesville. the high school ir that city has an enrollment of only 195 students. This is due to the ' nearness of a county school and tc 15 Events Set In Canton Labor Day Horse Show Arrangements for the annual Labor Day Horse Show at Canton have been announced by Vinson Worley, president of the sponsoring organization, the Canton Saddle and Bridle Club.
