SMITH SopHorfiore halfback Magill Emory hip swinging broken field magician really had a field day in the impressive 47 to 20 win over West Virginia Tech last Saturday Giving the Golden Bears a sample of his stop and go now you ve got him now you type of running: the shifty speedster set up two Wasp touch downs with his scintillating punt returns He took the Wasps deep into Bear territory on one other occasion and in general threaten ed to go all the way each time he tucked a Tech punt under his arm The former Thomas Jeffer son of Richmond athlete also scored one touchdown on a 22 yard pass from quarterback Jimmy Hughes and kicked four extra points Chalking up punt returns of 36 and 42 years and kickoff re turns of 33 and 19 yards Magill kept a Tech homecoming crowd on the edge of their seats as he continually danced his way by would be Tech tacklers Magill the whole show however as tlie Wasps continued to show a well balanced attack which has brought them a 5 0 1 record to date Scoring four times on the ground and thrice through the air E1H had their best offensive barrage of the season running mate Earl Hawkins scored once to raise his point total to 50 for the season and picked eighty five yards in ten carries ull back A Burton ran well against the Bears as he tco scored once and amassed 47 yards in nine carries The seven Wasp D's were scored by as many different men as the Wasps registered their highest point total since November 14 1959 when they romped Concord College 55 to 19 Ramsey substituted freely throughout the game and pulled his first unit for good with eight minutes left in the third period and the score 40 to 14 The Wasps figure to have a much rougher time of it next Saturday when they return home to take on the Western Carolina Catamounts at ullerton ield Traditionally a wing ding op ponent the Cats pose a major hurdle to the Wasps in their quest for an undefeated season ootball Odds LSU And Georgia Tech (9 PreP rj Notes By BILL LUTHER BASKETBALL SEASON is now officially with us whether we like it or not I should say with Tennessee fans The 1962 63 campaign among Volunteer State teams got under way last night with a few scattered contests but the biggest noise and probably the largest crowd to see open ing action turned out at Ketron's gymnasium to witness tire first annual Rotherwood Conference jamboree The jamboree matched the conference's six Ketron Lynn View Sullivan Blountville Church Hill and Rogersville and a pair of outsiders Hampton and Happy Valley Each club played one quarter of eight minutes under regular game rules and regulations While football and basketball seasons in Tennessee are over lapping as they have in recent years Virginia prep fans will have to wait another full month before seeing their favorite teams in action Virginia High School League rules don't permit schools to play their first cage tilt prior to Dec 1 Despite the fact that the jamboree launched the Rotheiwood season three of the league Church Hill Ketron and have one more regular season football contest to be played IT'S POST SEASON football time once again The first such contest involving high school teams is scheduled Thursday night in Elizabethton's Childrests Stadium The game matches two Watauga Conference clubs in the city's first annual Shrine Game Matched in the tilt are Watauga champion of the last two seasons Jonesboro and this runner up Happy Valley Jonesboro a school which served as a doormat for con ference teams in its early years certainly has turned into a powerhouse since Richard May former Erwin assistant took over the beginning of the 1961 run for the title Are avored To Triumph NEW YORK (LTD South ern California and Louisiana St each was rated a 3 point favorite Tuesday in games

the contest said yesterday that boys may register at Ron's ord Sales the YMCA or the Joys Club Bruce Bentley former Emory and Henry7 back who is chairman of the contest for the Bristol Jay cees has placed entry blanks at the YMCA and Boys Club I Boys will compete on both dis tance and accuracy on their punts and passes Daily said yesterday Prizes will be awarded the first three winners in the five divisions The champion Tigers from Washington County lake a nine game winning skein into the game Only mistake Jonesboro made ail season was scheduling Johnson City of the Big Seven Conference at its first opponent WHILE ON THE SUBJECT of bowl games the Kingsport Exchange Club is expected to announce soon its opponent for the annual contest in Kingsport's red Johnson Stadium later this month And rumors have it that Church Hill and Champ ion and runner up in the Rotherwood Conference will likely be the opposing teams Undoubtedly a game of this caliber Would attract a capa city audience Just over a month ago Church Hill captured a 7 9 de fensive struggle from the Wildcats in a game that decided the league crow Church Hill loser only to the Big Seven's Elizabethton (12 6) and state power Oak Ridge (47 0) boasts a 7 2 record The Panthers wind up regular season play riday night by playing at Gate City The wily blemish on record is the loss to Church Hill The Wildcats now 8 1 close out against Erwin riday night Not only would Church Hill and Ketron give the Exchange Club two local clubs it would in addition match two of Ten top "small schools" THE BUBBLE was bound to burst! That' probably the attitude taken by Rich Valley fang last Saturday night By the bubble bursting the Steers saw their undefeated untied and unscored on marks washed over the dam as a wave of Indians from Damascus led by brilliant halfback Tommy rancisco carted away a 33 7 victory The defeat came even harder to the Steers It knocked Coach Kelly eleven out of first place in the District Seven standings Rich Valley entered the contest with a 4 0 0 district log By virture of the win Damascus pulled into a tie with Lebanon for the lead The co leaders hold 5 0 2 marks within the district Just for the record Rich Valley had blanked Honaker (49 0) Haysi (27 0) Sparta (41 0) Independence (41 0) Patrick Henry (6 0) Chilhowie (6 0) and Rye Cove (19 0) in succession rancisco who is being scouted by several collegiate coaches carried the biggest tomahawk for the Indians by romping for four touchdowns and tacking on two extra points THE MAJORITY of schools on the Tennessee side wind up regular season play this week and there's a real battle slated for Kingsport where the Dobyns Bennett Indians will be trying to nail down another Big Seven championship when they entertain the Johnson City Hilltoppers little doubt but what the contest will turn out to be a two man show in an aerial and ground offensive show The invading Hilltoppers who have already been elimi nated from the league title picture will probably have triple threat quarterhack Steve Spurrier filling the air with passes in an effort to offset the ground attack led by the conference's No 1 fullback Art Brumlt Another sidelight of the game will be the matching of the lop scoring leaders in the Big Seven Spurrier and Brumit Spurrier who does the Hilltopper punting in addition to being one of Coach Kermit Tipton's better runners is the loop's top point getter He has scored eight touchdowns kicked 12 extra points and booted a field goal for 63 points to take over the No 1 position Brumit has romped for nine touch downs for 54 points and is deadlocked for second place with Rusty Cantwell Brumit who led the Dobyns Bennett scalping of Tennessee High last week kept the fans buzzing in Municipal Stadium with his slanting runs and bull like rushes up the middle of the Viking defenses However no one among the more than 9000 customers was more awed by display of running than Oak Ridge assistants who were scouting the Tribe The Ridge coaches who have turned out some of the top backs in Tennessee prep recent years said "There isn't apy way to set a defense for him They went on to say "You defend a runner if you don't know what he's going to hit Brumit hits the middle and If no hole there he just keeps moving down the line until he finds Oak Ridge meets Kingsport Nov 9 A NUMBER of Southwest
