Use Menntaineer Want Ada Wake Forest And Clemson Frosh To Play At Canton Here And Yonder / The Sportscope By BOB CONWAY Youngsters in the Waynesvllle area want to play football, and many of them aren't willing to wait until they get old enough to be on the high school squed. Until the day arrives that they put on the Gold and Black and become Mountaineers, the town's small fry can learn the rudiments of the game on the local midget team. On this squad boys not only get to fulfill their yen for foot ball. but also play in protective equipment under the supervision of adults. Under such circumstances, you'd think that the Midget Moun tatnoera would receive strong support from residents of Waynes vllle, which is known all over Western North Carolina as a good football town. However, in trying to raise money for uniforms and equip ment, the Midgets have gotten the cold shoulder time after time This la all the more surprising because of the fact that Waynesvllle and Hazelwood support the very fine Mountaineer Little League in t^eball, whose Pony League and Little Leagye teams whipped Ca#ton in playoffs this summer. Since it Isn't due to lack of interest In football, why the apathy towards a midget gridiron squad? Is it because local people don't think one is needed? To look at the record, we might mention that Hendersonville tills season beat Waynesvllle High for the second straight year and also has virtually won its second consecutive Blue Ridge Confer ence championship. And then we might take a look at our neighbors in Canton. This season football squads front Canton and Waynesvllle have clashed five timet and Canton has won tour of the games! The Paper City boys captured the varsity and Jayvee games and two mid get contests. Only in the case of the Waynesvllle ninth-grade team vs. Canton Junior High was the local team victorious. Known all over the state are Canton's Gra-Y Bears, sponsored by the Champion YMCA, whose teams have won three North Caro lina championships On the first Gra-Y Bear team was Charlie Carpenter, who plagued Waynesvllle High for four years, and just last Saturday tlirew two touchdown passes and scored another for Wake Forest against the University of North Carolina. On this year's Canton High team, more than three-fourths of the Black Bear traveling squad played midget football. Former Gra-Y Bears on Canton's 1955 starting lineup are backs Billy Stamey, Doyce Cannon, and Wiley Carpenter and linemen Johnny ' Massie, Jack Amos, Joe Rhiehartt and Sonny Warren. Possibly because of their having played midget football, quite a few Canton boys break into the starting lineup as sophomores and proceed to play varsity ball for three years. Generally, players on midget football teams only learn the fundamentals of the game, but occasionally a player comes along who shows far more polish than you'd expect for so young a boy. For instance, Gerald Kelly ? brother of two Mountaineer stars ? is developing into a fine runner; Danny Moore is an adept pass snatcher, and Harold Rogers is a promising passer. On the other side of the fence, Fred Cable of the Gra-Y Bears is a better ball handler and a more deceptive T-formation quarterback than some high school players we've seen this year. Despite the lack of community support. Mountaineer Midget coaches Johnny Phillips, former Canton star, and Rufus Panneil, formerly of Franklin, have managed to scrape up enough money te outfit their charges in nice looking uniforms. However, enough equipment has been obtained to outfit only about 30 boys, leaving a number of aspiring players in disappoint ment. Recently, one youngster came out for the team, but could not be outfitted and had to ait on the sidelines However, a play came Ms way a few moments later, and in bis enthusiasm, he Jumped up and tackled the ball carrier. In so doing, he suffered a broken shoulder. Had he been wearing proper equipment, this boy probably would have been spared his Injury. In the "good qld days" small fry had a lot of fun playing foot ball in vacant lota, but never woxrled about rules of the game. weH executed plays or correct blocking, and usually ended up by getting their clothing torn to ahreds. . . Today, things are a lot more organised and boys on midget teams are getting experience which will prove valuable when they lator go oat for the Junior varsity and varsity teams In high school. Many towns all over the country are strongly behind the midget ioottMH movement. Can we afford to remain indifferent? Today's Midget Mountaineers are tomorrow's king-sited oiai'iuug up as me iop griuiror attraction of the season In Canton the freshman teams of Clemsor and Wake Forest will dash at Can ton stadium Friday night at 8 p in This game is creating wide spread Interest in Canton because in addition to its college glamour it will be in the nature of a "home coming" for a former coach and a former player of Canton High.

Canton has an open date. Although Clyde-Bethel games have always stirred a lot of inter est. this year's tilt is expected to generate even more enthusiasm ?once the two teams are fairly even matched for the first time on record. Clyde, with a record of four | wins and three losses will be out < for its first victory in history over Bethel, which won its first contest of the season last Friday after los | ing four and tying two. However, comparing the two teams on the basis of their won lost record is misleading because most of Clyde's games have been in the Skyline-A conference, com posed of smaller schools, while Bethel has played mostly .in the more powerful Blue Ridge Con ference. Early in the season the Blue Demons collided with Can Ion, Waynesville, and Henderson ville and although they lost all three games, the Pigeon athletes have the Satisfaction of knowing they met the top teams in West ern North Carolina. Both teams run from the T and both have new coachse. Belhel is coached by James Mayfield, while Clyde is under the tutelage of II. B. Griffin. To dale, Clyde has beaten Bak ersvilJe, Walnut, Hot Springs and Old Fort and has lost to Mars Hill, Sylva, and Spruce Pine. The Car- , dinals have scored 147 points to their oppnoents' S3. Bethel, in addition to the three ' teams mentioned above, have also ' lost to Reynolds of Buncombe 1 County and has lied Murphy and Asheville School.

November 21?Tar Heel hunters who want to participate in managed hunts on the state's cooperative wildlife management areas won't have to stand in line or get advance per mits to hunt. Although most quo tas have been filled for opening day, lack of applications for subse quent days has made possible sale of hunting permits at checking sta tions without advance application. Original regulations required ad vance applications for the first four days of hunting on Pisgah. Mt. Mit chell, Daniel Boone, and Uwharrie areas, and for all of the wilderness limits. Advance applications for Pisgah, Mitchell, and Boone, how ?ver, were sufficient to fill only he first day of hunting, and only i few applications were received 'or subsequent days. Advance permits will be mailed o those who applied for these areas, and other persons wishing lo lunt may get their permits at ap iropriate checking stations after he first day of hunting. There will le no quotas after November 21. in these three areas. Because of numerous applica ions, drawings were necessary for he first segments of wilderness lunt on Cantrell Creek and Brad ey Creek areas of Pisgah, Camp ^lice on the Mt. Mitchell area and ;he new Tuesquitee wilderness area in Fires Creek. On Bradley creeK permits may le obtained at the checking station or the third and fourth hunts intil quotas are filled.
