Capacity Crowd Expected For Canton - Waynesville Game Friday NiJ

Ry ROR CONWAY
Most Waynesvllle fans seein to feci that the Mountaineers
have what it takes to beat Canton here Krida.v night.
The only question is whether the Gold and Black will be able
to turn their strong potential into enough touchdowns to whip the
rugged Black Bears.
In three games.this season, the Mountaineers have aiiown a
r lot of talent, but some "Saturday morning quarterback*" have been
wondering aloud if Wayncaville has really hit its full stride yet.
Although they have shown power in all three starts thus far.
the highlinders' offensive performance has been somewhat spotty.
Against Bethel and Reynolds. Waynesvllle found itself check
ed frequently on the ground during the first half. Hut in both cases
the Mountaineers came back strong in the second half and battered
their opponents into submission.
In meeting Canton Friday, the Gold and Black will be en
countering an opponent who has played one more game this season
and who has met three tough opponents in a row ? Valdese. Knka.
and Brevard, while the Mountaineers have been extended only once
? against Reynolds. ?
Waynesvllle ? with beef in both tlie line and hackfieid ? has
the edge In weight, while the Black Bears probably are faster. Both
teams, however, have excellent open field runners. The Mountaineers
will feature bone-crushing J. W. Stevens and scat backs Carroll Hoop
er, Carroll Rowland, and Sam Lane. Canton will counter wil De
wayne Milner. a top ball iiandler, paster, and runner; speedy
Mitchell arly ad Billy Stamey, and Wiley Carpenter, brother of
Canton's famous Charlie Carpenter.
In offense. Waynesville is no longer strictly a power team,
but now has a strong aerial game with several backs heaving the
pigskin. Coach Weatherby's double-wing attack mixes a variety of
reverses with the traditional plunges through the line.
Canton's T-formation utilizes slashes at the line with quick
opening plays and frequent pitchouts on end sweeps.
Both teams have escaped serious injuries this season and will
enter tomorrow night's fray at full strength.

Mountaineer Memos
One sideline observer at the Reynolds game last week called
Carroll Hooper Waynesville's best punt return man since the great
J C. Deweese.
On one runback against the Buncombe team, the Saunook
speedster left three green-jersied tacklers in q heap after they
dived for him and came up with only an armful of air.
Hooper's 70-yard run was a beauty. After drawing Reynolds
players into a tight mass with a feint at the line. Carroll suddenly
wheeled and tore around left end. The visitors were practically faked
out of their hip pads, and recovered too late to avert the touchdown.
* * ?
Carroll Rowland and Hugh Grasty are "reserves", but both
seem destined to see a lot of action for Waynesville this fall. Row
land is an excellent open field runner, who takes maximum ad
vantage of his blocking. Grasty shows typical Mountaineer spirit in
his plunges through the line?giving valuable assistance in this de
partment to the team's other two battering rams. J. W. Stevens and
Jim Gaddis.
* * *
#
Two different types of passing stance were on display in the
Reynolds game. Jim Hendrix of RHS used the flatfootcri position,
while Waynesvtlle's Don Jordan likes to fire while on the run.
We much prefer the latter because a man who moves like
Jordan does is hard to catch with the ball in his possession. It
doesn't seem like the jump pass would offer much control, but Jordan
seldom misses his target.
* ? ? *
Offhand, we can't remember another-big fullback like J. W.
Stevens who can pass so well. His 50-yard toss to Tony Davis late
in the fourth quarter last week was one of the longest we've seen in
these parts.
J. W.'s role as a passer is a new one, but his spirited running
against Reynolds looked very familiar to WTHS fan*,
Strangely enough, some Canton backers are picking Waynes
ville to win tomorrow night.
Apparently, they weren't too pleased with the Black Bears'
performance against Brevard in the 7-7 deadlock after Henderson
vllle had clipped the Blue Devils. 39-0. a week earlier.
Bolinger Like Front Bumpei
By SAIL FKLDMAN
AP Newsfeaturcs
NORMAN. Ok)a. _ Bo Bolinger, |
Oklahoma s agile senior left guard,
is the front bumper of the Soon
era braising ground game.
With Bolinger the key blocker in
Oklahoma's fast-hitting split T
formation. Coach Bud Wilkinson's
charges will try to extend their
long string of successes.
Bolinger. a 206-pounder. is 22
years old, stands 5 feet lOVj. is
married and majors in the school j
of business.
He was coached at Muskogee '
Central High by Paul Young.
Oklahoma's 1929-31 center who
developed center Kurt Burris and
end Mag Boydston. Oklahoma's two
top stars of 1954 when the Sooners
stretched their winning streak
through 19 games.
Bolinger goes full speed all the
time, even in practice A superb
offensive blocker, he U good at
either the one-On-one shoulder
block. Gifted with great speed, he
is terrific when he blocks down
field.
On defense Bo has a fine lateral j
movement and follows the play
well, lie not only takes good car*
of his own territory but often
can he seen pursuing an enemy
hail carrier going wide in the up
posite directum.
Most linemen try to protect theii
own area and let it go at that. But
not Bolinger. He's all over the
gridiron. Even when he is knocked
down he bobs right up and tries tc
get i^to the Blpy. , f

Smith Is Versatile Indian
By FRANK ECK
AP Newsfeatures Sports Editor
The Cleveland Indians call him
Fuzzy because of his tough board
and "the Lookie Here Kid" because
he uses the expression. A
more apt term for A1 Smith might
be Available Smith or Versatile
Smith.
If Cleveland has a candidate for i
the most valuable player prize this
year Smith appears to be the man.
Citing into the closing stages of
the torrid American League pen
nant race, the 27-year-old Negro
Mas the only Indi. n who had play
ed every game.
Most of the campaign he led
the Indians in battihg, in runs
batted in, runs scored, hits imd
in stolen bases.
And it. appears as though Billy
Goodman of the Boston Red Sox
has lost his title as the most ver
satile' player In the majors. Smith
has played six positions for A1
Lopez this year?the thr^e outfield
spots, third base. second and
short.
"If we didn't have Smith." says
la>pez. "I hate to think where we
would be."
After less than two and a half
years in the majors the muscular
190-pound Smith has become an
accepted star by his teammates,
and rivals as well. In the 1954
World Series he reached base 7
times in 17 trips to the plate, play
ing his first full year as a leadoff
j batter.
Claims one umpire:
"Ills ball and strike judgment
is about as good as that of Ted
Williams. You rarely see him swing
at a bad pitch."
| Smith, a baseball, football, bas
ketball. and track star at Douglas
High in Webster Groves. Mo., was
starring at 19 for the Cleveland
Buckeyes of the Negro American
League at $300 a month. Indian
general manager Hank Greenberg
looked at Smith and In 1948 signed '
him.
After two seasons at Wilkes
Barre. Pa., two at San Diego and
almost two at Indianapolis. Smith
proved his worth as a utility man
in 1953. He now is the most feared
leadoff man in either league.
Roommate Larry Doby makes
| Smith "captain of the room" when
i ever he has a good day at the plate
[or in the field. Says Doby:
"He's been captain so much this
I year that I think I'll have to pro
mote him to captain."
