THE ASHEV1LLE CITIZEN. ASHFVILLE, N.C.1? Tuesday, October 6, 1959 All-America Candidates Are Injured By WILL GRDISLEY NEW YORK API Two leading Catamounts ount 5 Injured Players Three First Stringers Hurt In 194 Victory Over Tampa Canton-y. Buncombe Game Re-Scheduled For Thuriday Right CANTON The Cnto Nerth Buncombe Blue Ridge Conference football game originally scheduled here Friday Bight has been twitched to Thursday night. Came time will be 7:31 'clock. Coarh Boyd Allen, who announced the schedule change Monday, nald he ai switching the game to that it will not conflict with the Waynetville-Hendersonville game at Waynesrille Friday night.

"They're expecting a big crowd erer there," he said, "and a lot of our folks want to see It too." All America candidates, Pick Thornton of Northwestern and Bob Anderson of Army, are among the several college backfield stars felled some for the season by a freak succession of injuries over y-S a km "to-- ts i f-v, w- the weekend. Thornton, quarterback and spearhead of the fine Wildcat team which already has beaten Oklahoma and Iowa, cracked an ankl in running back a kickoff on the first play of the Iowa game. He is out at least six weeks. Anderson, leading ground gainer of Army's high-rated machine, suffered a right knee injury in th game against Illinois. Doctors hope he won't be lost for mora than two weeks but there is danger he will be out for the year.

Apparently, this is pictorial proof that the umpires miss 'em the big leagues, too. even in the World Series. This action took place in Sunday's third Series game, won by the Dodgers, 31. By CHARLIE SMITH CLLLOWliEE -Western Carolina College's 19-8 win over the University ot Tampa in Tampa. Saturday nisht proved to be costly victory (or the Catamounts as five players (ailed to show up for drills here Monday due to injuries.

Among the injured first team performers are fullback Jamie Willies, center Ron Aughtry, nnd quarterback Bob Cooper. Wilkes is out with a foot injury and bruised shoulder, while Aughtry and Cooper suffered leg injuries. Reserves Eric Hol-combe and Jimmy Bryant re-reived head and internal in-juries respectively. Wilkes and Aughtry are unlikely to see action Saturday when the Catamounts play Ca-tawfca here in a North Stale Conference game. At full strength, the Cats battled Catawba to a 6-6 tie in the season opener in Asheville Sept.

12. Now with the forces deleted clue to injuries, Coach Dan Robinson has become worried. The first Catawba game was a non-conference affair but this week's contest will be recorded in the North State Conference record book. Prior to Monday's light work-cut. Robinson took stock of the Catamount team minus its injured players.

He switched freshman Bruce Peterson from left half to quarterback. Tobe Childers moved into the No. 1 Army, instigator of the Lonesome End technique. The formation caught the Cadets by surprise Saturday, bring signal-calling berth with Peterson handling second unit. Peterson began the season at quarterback but was moved to left half for the Tairpa game.

Robinson said Peterson did an excellent job at left half in his first role as a starter, but with Cooper and Ken Morgan, a freshman signal caller who is out five weeks with a wrUt injury, on the sidelines, Robin-eon was forced to move Peterson back to quarterback. The WCC coach changed guard Ronald Brown to center. With all-conference Aughtry and second team Holcomhe mussing from the center post, only one pivot man remains, third team performer Sam Watkins. Brown, a transfer from Wyoming was an outstanding lineman at guard against Tampa. Wilkes, the Calamotint workhorse, gained 109 yards rushing in 16 carries in the Tampa game.

He will be replaced by 185-pound Lowell Jennings. "We will make several changes to face Catavba here Saturday." said Robinson, "and if we win with all these key men out it will be the result of spirit and determination on the part of our remaining squad. "1 hope that one or two of these boys will be able to practice later this week and possibly play Saturday. We know Catawta is tough from our first meeting," he concluded. WHAT A CALL! If you think some of those close plays at first base in the World Series are called wrong, take a gander at the picture above.

The throw from second baseman Nellie Fox of the White Sox is not yet in Ted Kluszewski's glove and Dodgers' Don Demeter has his foot planted squarely on the year. Anderson was Armys top ground-gainer and scorer as well as inspirational leader. Doctors say the 205-pound Army senior may have no more than a pinched nerve, in which case he is idled only for a couple of games. If it's a torn cartilage, Anderson's college career is ended.

"We call it the Unlonesome End because our end gets into the huddle instead of staying out of it like Army's version," said Illinois Coach Ray Eliot. "We have two ends on the same side of the line, one of them split out 8 or 10 yards. The opposite tackle on the other side of the line becomes eligible for a pass. "The quarterback is directly behind center, the fullback is behind him. One halfback is on the flank, the other closer like a winged T.

The close in halfback goes in motion. "It can be used both to right and left. We used the formation about 20 or 25 times against Army, mostly in the first half.
