A New Rupp Speaks
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) ? 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)?
The police found a woman's arti
ficial leg, complete with nylon
stocking, hanging from a street
sign. Nobody's claimed it.

SHOT INTO WIND
By ED VTJRGOL
1954 U. S. Open Champion
When hitting into the wind the
idea is to keep the ball low to get
maximum distance. Play the ball
slightly toward the right toot
Close the clubhead slightly. Hit
down on the ball and concentrate
on keeping the clubhead swinging
through the ball. Don't rush youi
backs wing.

275-POUND LINE BUSTEE Larry "Horse" How
ell of the Monroe High School Rebel football
squad shows off his bulging biceps to teammates
Herman Snyder, a quarterback (left) and Kenneth
Mitchum. a guard. Coach Harry Jaynes, a gradu
ate of Waynesvllle High and Western Carolina
College, brought his Monroe squad to Camp Ad
venture near Lake Junaluska for a 10-day foot
ball camp?the third year the Rebels have been
here. Although Monroe lost nine of its eleven
starters by graduation, Coach Jaynes is heartened
by the performance of Howell, whom, he pre
dicts, will be the best high school tackle in the
state this season. (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
