THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN, SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1942 Western Carolina Splits Honors With Mountaineers Griffin Wins, Rhodes Loses Mound Battle Indians Scalp Catamounts Paced by the consistent hitting of Herbert, "Big Four" Howard, the Catamounts halved their first two-game series with Appalachian, losing the first 11-14, and winning the last 6-4. The first game was a slugfest all the way through, each team getting fifteen hits. Appalachian- bunched most of theirs together in the sixth for a seven run barrage to sew up the game. Herbert Howard and Moss wielded the big sticks for the Cats, each getting three for five. Fidler, Smawley, and Hollars were the Appalachian big guns. Rhodes was the losing pitcher. In the second game, the Catamounts again led by the big bat of "Big Four" Howard, jumped Hackney for six runs before he was relieved and then coasted to a 6-4 win behind the steady pitching of Griffin.

Tennis Courts In Good Condition Mr. Ralph Andrews has just announced that the tennis courts are now in shape for playing, the best condition they have been in for several years. He tempered h i s announcement, however, with the statement that some of the students are damaging the courts to such an extent that they have to be worked again before they are serviceable. It seems that some students persist in wearing street shoes. A clay court is hard enough to keep in playing shape the best that can be done. Everyone is urged to wear tennis shoes when playing and keep the courts in playing condition. Western Carolina Teachers College has been selected to give from two to four years basic training to prospective Naval Cadets and Deck Officers. To be eligible under this plan for a Cadet or Naval Deck Officer two or more years of special training are required. The College is setting up a navy program under the Naval V-l plan through which you may qualify to be a Naval Cadet or Deck Officer. Qualifications 1. Must be citizen of the United States. 2. Must be high school graduate. 3. Must be between the ages of 17 to 20. 4. Must meet the physical standards for enlistment. How To Get Into V-l Program 1. Register in college (preferred dates, June 11 or September 1, 1942.) 2. After registration you may secure a certificate issued by the college registrar and take this certificate to the nearest Naval Recruiting Station and be signed up for Naval V-l Class; or the College will have the Naval Recruiting Staff to come to the College sometime in June and in September to enroll you. 3. The Navy must have your parents' consent and your birth certificate or some other authentic evidence that will prove your age and citizenship. You will understand that, as soon as you have been admitted to the V-l class, you are enlisted as an Apprentice Seaman in the Naval Reserves. You will be in the Navy. You will be serving your country. But until you have completed the college period of your training you will remain on inactive duty. After your enlistment in V-l, your college life will continue as usual. You need not break up the course of study you have mapped out for yourself. You will, however, be required to take a minimum of special courses, such as English, mathematics, physics, and physical education. In March of your second college year with us, you will be given tests put out by the Navy, which are designed to test your lualifications for being a Naval Cadet or Deck Officer. If you meet the naval requirements, as will be shown by these tests, you may, at the close of your Sophomore year, report to a Naval Flight Training Station or continue in college for two more years. In this case, you could, of course, secure your college degree, after which you will be called into the navy for Deck Officer training. If you are interested in this program, please register in Western Carolina Teachers College as soon a.s possible. After your registration in the College, we will help you in taking the remaining steps to get into this program. The College, through student money, is offereing thirty $50 scholarships for students enrolling in the V-l class. If you are interested in one of these scholarships, the sooner you enroll with us, the better chance you will have to secure one of these scholarships. The government assumes no responsibility for any of your college expenses. For further information concerning this program, write or come to see the Dean of the College or C. F.
