"i Hi \U ST ER.N CAROLINIAN, CULLOWHEE, S. C. APKIL 23, 1941 r- in^MttMMaSSSSas^Mf—<i -Western Carolina SPORTS-- Treading The Catamount Trails (By Johnny Wilson) DOINGS AND DONES OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Helen M. Hartshorn John Crawford Well-ell-well-the Catamounts finally found themselves, or rather I think they did—something happened anyway—or else haven't you heard about the circus we had—anyway we had a merry-go-round, last Monday, when we played East Tennessee Teachers College —Yeah that's right—the score was 21 to 6—and do you remember who did the twirling for the Catmounts —that's right, it was Seabiscut—and did he do a beautiful job—he certainly did—and don't forget the other boys in the shuffly, for instance, our catcher, B. C. Moss—who got 4 hits out of 6 times at the plate—two of which were home runs—and that he drove in six of the Catamount runs—as well as scoring three himself—and then there was Round-Man-Frye—our astute third baseman—who had a perfect day at the plate getting four hits out of four times at the plate— and scoring four runs. Did you know that the baseball season is over half over—and that we have only two more home games— with Tusculum College, of Greeneville, Tennessee on May 21 and 22—The Catamounts have only four more games away from home—two of which are played this week—incidentally ,one being on May 2—which is May Day—The team leaves on Thursday morning for Johnson City, Tennessee, where the Catamounts will meet East Tennessee Teachers in a return game— from there they go to Maryville, Tennessee, where they meet Maryville College—with a little luck, I'm pretty sure the boys will be able to take them this time Did any of you notice the schedule of the games for the baseball team of 1931 in the Western Carolinian of April 9—If not you should get your old paper out and re-read it—there sure have been some changes since then—we didn't get out of the Junior College class—and what was the really bad part, most of the opposing teams were high schools—do you think Western Carolina Teachers College is growing—well, I should say it is. How are you Intra-murals—if you are not playing in something—you had better back up and start over again—there is room for all and sport for all, too.

One walks around looking for it and trying to remember what it is. As far as he remembers no equipment has been moved. The ping pong table still stands in the way of incoming und outgoing students. The badminton net and supports still occupy the farther wall. The mats still lie in the corner, ready to trip any unwary walker who ventures near them. There's always someone tand- ing around or participating in some activity. As nearly as one can tell, nothing is missing. But there is still a lack in the air- something intangible. Yes, there is something definite missing in the Physical Education Department—or rather someone, not something. Someone who has contributed much to the Improvement of the P. E. program, someone who has worked much for the students of this college. Need arry more be said? It is hoped by everyone in the college that Miss Reld will soon be back among us. It might be added that those who are substituting for Miss Reid are doing an excellent job. • • • Because of bad weather, the tennis courts have been exceptionally hard to get in shape this spring. They will soon be in shape, however, and everyone is expected to make up for lost i ma The courts are in charge of Rock Plemmons, assisted by Bob Reese and Charles Meyer. * • • Anyone lucky enough to receive one of the seventy-six medals for outstanding P. E. work is in for a treat. They're beauties. » • • Great interest has been displayed in a few of the P. E. classes. In the Social Dancing class, in which it is possible to learn to dance and to get credit for learning there is an enrollment of over seventy. In the golf class, there is an enrollment of about thirty. Already almost five hundred periods of golf have been played by students, in addition to the regular work. In the tennis class there is an enrollment of more than thirty. ara&Sflrt&fta^^ mm iuwmmwi aaa&aflaa&ag Intramural Sports (By Al Williams) Intra-Mural Softball Standings Day Students First Floor High School Second Floor Third Floor Fourth Floor W. 3 2 1 1 1 0 L. 0 1 1 2 2 2 Day Students Win Over Third Floor The Day Students won another game today behind the pitching of Rabbit Jaw Phillips, who seemed to know how to pitch that ball as he held the third floor to three hits.

The Mountaineers eked out on the cats who played an offensive match. Bill Furr, Boone's hurling ace, set the defensive pace by his steady hurling.
