SALISBURY, Nov. 1. (jp The Catawba college Indians set a new consecutive game scoring record tonight in whipping Presbyterian, 7 to 0, before a homecoming crowd of 5,000.

The Indians now haye scored in 73 straight games. The South Carolinians held off repeated Catawba thrusts, but Lee Spears finally cracked over from the one-yard line with the record-breaking touchdown after seven minutes of play in the fourth quarter. On the three other occasions Catawba moved inside the Presbyterian 10-yard line, but was held back at the Blue Hose. On one occasion Spears fumbled on the six-inch line. On the final play of the first half Catawba put the ball in play from the Presbyterian two-yard mark.

Bobby Gore tied a screen pass into the line, but Booty Ivey intercepted and raced to the 50-yard line before Gore caught him from behind in a desperate tackle. 6 his Gastonia outfit of this season is no exception to the rule. Leeper has practically a veteran team back this season, and some boys who have been catching the eye of big time university coaches with their work. He has a "pony express" back-field composed of Fred Snider at wingback, Billy Gardner at blocking back.

The Americans grabbed the next two and held BUlldOgS IU1SU appeal alive familiar turf at the stadium this season, their final two games being on the road. Two bands will be on hand for the Saturday afternoon contest to add color to the classic, and to help make this last home game of the 1947 season one to be remembered by fans and players alike. These bands are being imported from Waynesville and Hendersonville high schools, and both are well drilled on precision exercises which will highlight the halftime.

State Coach Beattie Feathers took the wraps completely off his publicized freshman fullback "Little John" Huzvar for the first time this season and the Hershey, husky came through with 33 yards in a. steady downfield march.

Halfback Charlie Richkus then passed seven yards to end Bill Stanton on the eight and the 225-pound Huzvar bulled it over from there early in the fourth period. The Wolfpack's final touchdown followed closely. The big State line threw Chattanooga's Frank Erwin for a 15-yard loss to his own 19. On the next play, guard John Wagoner of State blocked halfback Hartford Granitz' punt and June Cheek, an alert State end, recovered it in the end zone.

the m-oducts of Asheville high some stronger opposition. and a number of Buncombe GREETINGS AND AU REVOIR It's a little sad this morning to be saying Au Revoir to that grand bunch of guys who have been our constant companions and friendly critics for the past couple of years as we batted out sports hash for the Times, and just a little bewildering to be saying "greetings" to a large portion of Western North Carolina sports fanswe have never met before, and who take the Citizen sports sheet along with their morning coffee. However, it's an ill wind that blows no good for anyone, and the Times readers can pat themselves on the back with the consolation that "we got rid of that guy," and at the same time extend a sympathetic hand to those who will have these garbled offerings fostered npon their weak morning stomaches from here out until the boss kicks us on the scrap heap. But all is not lost, for it will be the same old gang around the golf course locker rooms, down at McCormick Field and Memorial Stadium and maybe it won't be so bad at that to get the boot from a new group of fans, after all we were becoming rather accustomed to the feel of the other boots. Not being a politician, and not even "red" enough, despite our carrot top, to rate a congressional committee investigation, we refuse to make any promises.

However, if you coaches and athletic-minded citizens will give with the sports dope we'll promise to talk with the boys in the composing room about getting it in the paper. THE SECRET IS OUT The cat Is out of the bag, and today every fan in Western North Carolina knows the identity of the six gents who will be responsible for placing two well coached high school elevens on Memorial Stadium gridiron the afternoon of December 13 in the first high school "bowl" game ever attempted in this section of the country. If the Optimist Bowl committee taxed with the responsibility of selecting the head coaches had combed the highways and byways for the next thirty days they could not have come up with better choices than C. C. (Pondy) Poindexter of Canton to lead the "'West" and O.

L. (Pete) Peterson of Morganton to pilot the "East" And the head men did themselves proud in selecting their assi-stant coaches. Poindexter made two very popular choices, based on experience and youthful enthusiasm, when he selected the veteran. Hop Arbo-gast of the Asheville School for Boys and youthful Dwight Holshouser of Lee H. Edwards nigh school, to assist him in the difficult task of forming a winning combination out of 22 boys from different schools in the short space of one week.

And the same thing goes for "Pete" Peterson, who also came up with one veteran and one young coach as his assistants. Eugene iBrick) Bricklemeyer, head man of the Hendersonville high school eleven, is a coach of proven ability and has produced winning teams over a span of years. Presnell Mull, head coach of Lenoir high school and the second assistant chosen by Peterson, is a youngster serving his first year in the coaching field after a brilliant gridiron career with the Appalachian State Teachers college at Boone. Fres has brought his boys along at a fast clip this season, and his work caught the eye of Coach Peterson to such an extent that he asked him to assist in the Optimist Bowl affair quite an honor for a first-year coach, we'd say. Taken as a whole, both staffs represent the top coaching talent of Western North Carolina.

Of course, there are other coaches just as good, but the combination shapes up as one that will produce elevens well worth watching. One thing you won't miss from here out is the strong rivalry which exists between the two tap men. They are close friends off the field, but for many years have been bitter enemies on the gridiron. Up until this year their teams have battled each season on just about equal terms, and you can rest assured that this rivalry will be carried over into the Optimist Bowl game with a few more coals heaped on the fire to keep it burning merrily. GET THAT 'BOWL' TICKET NOW As little as you may think of the matter here six weeks before the game is due to be unreeled, tickets have already been placed on sale and are going with all the speed of hot cakes on a crisp morning.

Al Lineberry, chairman of the ticket sales committee for the Optimist club, reports that sales are booming in every section and that those who have their date made for the game had better scoop up their pasteboard and not wait around until the last week with fond expectations of getting a seat on the 50-yard line. It is expected that 8,000 seats will be available for the game, and not one more ticket than there are seats will be sold. If it is possible to get 9,000 seats, then 9,000 tickets will be sold, but if only 7,000 seats are available that's all the tickets there are so drop around to one of the down-town ticket booths tomorrow and get yours while the getting is good. Present pians call for the transportation and erection of bleacher seats from Canton and other schools throughout this section that have portable bleachers. These bleachers will be erected The Gastonia backfield averages around 165 pounds, but the line shapes up around 185, with two big guards and one big tackle.
