Rippers To Play
Waynesuille Team,
In Paper Bowl

Canton The Waynesville High
Mountaineers, who have all but
cinched the Blue Ridge Conference
championship, and the Marion High
Rippers, who have made a sensa-
tional comeback in the past four
weeks to rate as a top power in
the Western Conference, will meet
in Canton's first annual Paper Bowl
game, to be played at Black Bear
Memorial Stadium here Saturday
afternoon, December 4.
Coaches Carleton Weatherby of
Waynesville and Art Dit Of Marion
met with Ralph Goforth, chairman
Of the Paper Bowl committee, and
Henry Michael, president of the
sponsoring Y's Mems Club, immed-
lately after the Marion eleven had
smothered Canton's Black Bears by
48-0 here Friday night and signed
contracts for participation in the
bowl game.
Members of the Paper Bowl COM
mittee hailed the pairing of Marion
and Waynesville as "natural''
drawing c?rd, as it brings together
the two elevens who, in their esti-
nation, are the leading representa-
tives of the neighboring and Rival
Blue Ridge and Western confer
ence.
Weatherby's Waynesville Mount
aineers corraled the berth as host
team in the Paper Bowl when they
eked out a 7-2 victory in a titanic
struggle with Hop Arbogast's power
full Asheville School Blues a week
ago. Ditt's Marion Rippers, whose
late season sweep had been closely
watched by the Paper Bowl COM
mittee, assured themselves of the
invitation to oppose Waynesville by
their brilliant triumph over Canton
Friday night.
The Waynesville eleven has not
been defeated in Blue Ridge Confer
ence competition this season, knock
i;ng over Trvon. Canton, Hsnd dersen,
vile, Christ School and AshevilIe
School in succession. They have
been defeated but once this year
a bare 10 loss to the Elizabethton,
Tenn. Cyclones. In other non-confer-
ence games they have defeated
Sylvia and Bryson City of the Smoky
Mountains Conference.

somewhat of "Cinderella" team
this season, overcoming the tough

Meet Bessemer City Here Friday

The Ripper Express continued to
roll in high gear as they rolled to a
48-0 win over the Canton Black
Bears, in Canton, Friday night. The
outcome of the game was never
in doubt after Jack Goode travelled
"A yards for a first Ripper score on
the second running play from scrim-
mage. From there on it was a rout
as the Rippers collected 21 points
the first quarter on touchdowns by
Stanley and RAIDER. They added 13
points in the second quarter. Seven
in each of the third and fourth to
give Canton it's worst defeat Of the
season. 1t was also the biggest score
between the two schools since both
began playing each other. The Rip
pers were keyed up for this ball
game as Coach Dit told them be-
fore going on the field he would
accept the Paper Bowl bid if the
score was convincing enough-the
Rippers gave their coach the answer
in first half when they had a $40
lead.

No Fires In Forest
First Half of '48

For the first time in the history
of the Kootenai Forest there have
been no fires Now that the sum-
mer was half over some of the rang
ers were beginning to predict that
just maybe there would be no fires
this season. Then the charm was
broken, for with the electrical
storm of the 18th four small fires
were started. Each of them was put
out however, before a quarter of an
acre was burned. These four class
A fires were located on French
Creek in the Yak District. Mcmillan
mountain in the Libby district, Cry
stall Creek and Wapiti mountain in
the Fisher River district
But the rains have come again
and once more prospects are good
for a season with very few fires.
However forest officials issue a note
of warning, for it was just such a
June and July as this eight years
ago, the heavy rain coming on July
q. Then by August the forest had
become bone dry. There were many
fires that August making the 1910
season one of the worst fire seasons
in the history of the forest.
