After 50 Year8.»A Big ^Un Kings Mountain’s Foley Cobb has been bass fishing for 46-60 years and has caught some ml^ty nice ones. But the topper came last week when he landed a nine-pound largemouth out of the old city water lake off York Road. Cobb’s fish was 26 Inches long, elg^t Inches wide and had a slx-lnch mouth spread. He caught the bass at 7 a. m. Wednesday, Just a day after a big one got away. "I got a big one out of the water Tuesday, but It broke my line.’’ he noted. "The biggest bass I’ve ever caught before was an eight-pounder In ’78. TTiat was In York County.’’ Cobb, who says he’ll mount the fish, was using an artificial worm and a lO-pound test line. He’s caught several In the four and five pound category this year, but has either frozen them or given them away. An employe of the American Legion here, Cobb fishes for about two hours each morning before reporting to work at 8:30. He also tries to fish a couple hours In the afternoon. "I’ve found fishing In the early morning and late afternoon to be the best,” he seild. "Early In the morning the water’s still.” Cobb uses artificial worms and fishes on top of the water. “Right now," he says, "Is the best time of the year for fishing. The big fish are coming out of deep water. “A lot of people have quit fishing down at the city lake. They say they don’t have any luck down there. But I’ve had my best luck there and I plan cm STeWf\RT C. 2" rfcS I FOLEY AND JAWS - Foley Cobb of Kings Mountain la pictured here with the nine pound bass he caught last week In the old city water lake.

Of that total, 21,400 are competing In football, 1,446 In cross country, 1,161 In soccer, 84 In girls golf, 2,168 In girls tsnnls and 3,460 In volleyball. . . . •^Pichm* The Winners Our pickin’ the winner sheet for the year suf fered last week, as we went 0-6 for a season’s marie of 29-9. Several games last week that could have gone either way went the other way. lliere are some more tough ones this week, but here goes: EAST GASTON AT NORTH GASTON — Bast beat Shelby In everything but the score last week and North surprised R-S Central, llila could be a close game, but we’ll stick with the favorite. Bast Gaston, 20-18. KINOS MOUNTAIN AT CREST — Kings Mountain’s best playing came from the band last week. Tile Mountaineers have the material to win the conference but they’re not playing up to their capabilities. The fans should have had their money refunded last week but they should get their money’s worth this week, because KM will live up to Its billing with a 31-0 victory. BURNS AT CHASE - Chase is coming off two tough losses to KM and South Point and Bums will suffer because of It. The Trojans should win this one easily, 86-7. SHELBY AT EAST RUTHERFORD — Bast can’t do It two weeks In a row, althouih I hope they do. It looks like an easy Shelby win, 38-7. SOUTH POINT AT R-8 CENTRAL — R-8 has a better team than It has shown, but the HUltoppers still aren’t ready for the Raiders, who’ll win 26-0. LEHIGH AT DAVIDSON — Davidson dropped Its first game last week In the mud, 44-13 to Bucknell. The Wildcats are a much better team than that. On the other hand, Lehigh sports a good passer In Mike Rleker and his arm could be the difference this week. Cell It 38-34, Lehigh. MARYLAND AT N. C. STATE — Maryland was supposed to be the cream of the crop In the ACC and the East this fall. But the Tsrpe aren’t showing It. Their long ACC winning streak will oome to an end Saturday with State taking a 86-88 victory. TEXAS TECH AT NORTH CAROLINA — Texas Thch la one of the top-ranked teams in the nation. Carolina has a knack of getting up for big games and the Tar Heels will knock off Tech, 24-21. <XEM80N AT VIRGINIA TECH — Clemson should have no trouble. Call It 43-24. BAST CAROLINA AT SOUTH CAROLINA - This should be a graat game. ECU has already knocked off two ACC teams (SUto and Duke) and the Pirates would like nothing better than to spoil • South Carolina’s homscomlng. But the Oamecocks won’t allow that. Call It 86-31.
