THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1941 --Western Carolina SPORTS- - Doings And Dones | of Physical Education |] John Crawford Mr. Ralph Andrews represented W. C. T. C. at the 90th celebration of Catawba college in Salisbury, North Carolina. Mr. Andrews, who went in place of President Hunter, attended the main program held in the Hend- rich Hall Auditorium and heard addresses by Dr. Grey E. Snave- ly. executive director of the Association of American Colleges and Dr. John N. LeVan, director of United Promotion of the Evangelical and Reformed church. Other educational and religious institutions represented on i the program were: Southern Association of Colleges and Second Schools, North Carolina College Conference, North Carolina department of Public Instruction, the Pennsylvania Department of Pi$>lic Instruction, and the Commission of Higher Education of the Evangelical and Reformed Church. Twelve girls, directed by Miss Reid, demonstrated various rules, fundamentals, and team play at the basketball clinic held in the Western Carolina Teachers College gym December 6. Each of these was demonstrated by typical examples: blocking, charging, obstruction, over- guarding, walking, three man pass, criss-cross pass, pass-and- shoot, and pivoting; zone defense. The girls who. participated were Fay Barger, Betty Jean Best, Ann Brittain, Helen Hartshorn, Sophia Haynes, Anita Hughes, Lucille Hunter, Helen McDevitt, Susie McGinnis, Helen Miller, Katherine Powell, and Lois Pryor. The basketball, clinic is characteristic of the general activity of Mr. .Andrews in particular, and the Physical Education staff in general. Their efforts and their participation in county, district^, state and national meeting's and programs has given Western Carolina Teachers College some, needed publicity and recognition. The Amateur Night, sponsored by the Monogram Club, was a big success as was predicted. Bill Smith, president of the organization, had a well-planned program which owed its success to the cooperation of the various club members and the "amateurs*'. Mr. Andrews led a Safety discussion at Brevard College, De- comber 5; one of eight conducted that day and the following day at various colleges and high schools in the state. These discussions were sponsored by the North Carolina Association for Health Physical Education and Recreation in cooperation with the North Carolina Division and the State Department of Public Inctruction. The other discussion leaders, prominent in safety work, were: Mr. Charles E. Spencer, State Department of Public Instruction; Dr. Walter Cutter, Highway Safety Division; Mr. Herman Schnell, University of North Carolina; Mr. C. N. Barefoot, Highway Safety Division, and Mr. E. E. Garber, Miss Cleon Haynes, and Mr. Kenneth Iver- son all of Appalachian State Teachers college. Joe Crowell, a major in Physical Education, has been asked by the coach of Cherokee to referee all boxing matches at Cherokee. Joe is one of the few students who is qualified to do such work. He is qualified due to his various experiences in this line. Crowell trained in Miller gym i in Honolulu under Al Schaaf, first cousin to Ernest Schaaf, the fighter killed by Max Bear. He fought in the Hawiian Golden Gloves tournament and won \ in the 135 pound division. Of fifteen bouts fought in Australia, Joe won thirteen, and then fought regular exhibition matches aboard the S. S. Mari- I posa. He claims that he has never been knocked out, and j incidentally, has never K. O.'d anyone himself. Miss Reid and Miss Benton have organized a group of tumblers and rope twirlers who have adopted the name of Western Carolina Troupers. This group includes boys and girls who will give exhibitions of their skill during the halves at the basketball games. Those, wishing to participate . the Trouper's activities see either Miss Benton or Miss Reid for full details. The girls intramural program for the winter quarter will include tournaments in basketball, soccer, volley ball, badminton, and paddle tennis. Full plans have not yet been made concerning the datg for each. Plans for the ping pong tournament were started last week. Coach Whatley supervised and explained an effective demonstration of effective fundamentals at the basketball clinic. Points demonstrated were: (1) Passing the ball—6 types of passes; (2) Unorthodox passes- hooks, flips etc; (3) Shooting the ball—long shot, foul, pivot, run, two-hand overhead, one hand shots under and facing basket; (4) Dribbling the ball to advance, to keep possession, break away from opponent, as means of faking, make open shots easier; (5) Method of dribbling, using right or left hand only, using both intermitently; (6) Dribbling strategy, change of pace, "away-hand" dribble quick change of directiion; (7) Pivoting—avoid opponent, keep possession, make timing possible, prevent tie ball, execute one hand shots; (8) Types of pivots —front, reverse, sideline, half- front, stationery; (9) Offensive drill; (10) Five offensive plays; (11) Man-to-man defense-zone defense. SECONDARY LOOP . . (Continued from page 1) the conference. The committee adjourned at 5:45 P. M. Immediately after dinner, the group meeting was called. About twenty-five persons representing Bryson City, Cherokee, Cullowhee, Edneyville, Fines Creek, Franklin, Hendersonville, Murphy, and Sylva were present. The suggestions made by the committee and after a few revisions were adopted by the group. Mr. Andrews was elected commissioner. He then appointed a committee, composed of Paul Buchanan, Dot Higdon, and J. T. Carter, to draw up a constitution to be presented for approval at the next meeting of the conference, January 12, 1942. It was decided to wait until then to elect the president and other officials. It was agreed that all schools represented at the group meeting, and all represented at the first conference meeting .would automatically become charter members. Afterwards, a two- thirds vote by the conference members will be necessary for any school to enter. It was decided that the conference headquarters will be located at Cullo- i whee. There were several reasons for this, the main being that Cullowhee is in the exact geographical center of the area the conference covers. There were several other suggestions agreed upon. One of the | foremost was that just as soon as possible, the conference would expand to take in such activities as debating, dramaiics and so ■ on. This would provide a new and extensive field for competi- j tion among Western Carolina I high schools. It was also agreed that summer after next, if not this coming summer, a basket- j ball and football coaching school will be held here at Cullowhee. For the immediate basketball season, it was decided that the conference champion would be decided by tournament. After this year, however, the conference standing will determine the champion. A tournament will be held, however. Here are some of the elgibility rules tentatively approved by the group. 1. All competitors #must be bona fide students in regular attendance (80 percent of time) for a period of twelve weeks prior to competition, or must have entered school not later than one week after the first day of that school term. Post graduate students are not considered bona fide. (Note: In order to play on a team representing a school, the participation of a student in a time program should be .satisfactory. The program of any individual should be one adapted to the needs of the students and approved by the school administration. The term 'participation" is comprehensive and includes the idea of citizenship or constructive participation in the general affails of ?,) Carson New- Appalachian, at Basketball Schedule December 10, Georgetown, Home.

The game then seesawed back and forth, marked by bad passes that seemed to go straight to one of the opposing team's members, until midway of the last half. Then the All-Stars took over on their own 35 by virtue of an intercepted pass. Grady Howard, Second Floor star, then took a 45-yard pass on the Fourth Floor 20 and went across the goal line. The play was called back, however, because there were only two men on the line of scrimmage (in touch football, there must be at least three.) In the opinion of many, however, there were three.

SAFETY EDUCATION CONFERENCE HELD In collaboration with the National Safety Education association in a national safety move an intensive study is being carried out by the North Carolina Highway Safety Division and the State Department of Public Instruction. The movement started with an institute for safety held at the University of North Carolina last spring with Herman Schnell of the University Physical Education staff and Dr. Walter S. Cutter of the Highway Safety Division as directors. Ralph J. Andrews of Western Carolina Teachers College has been chosen as one of the discussion leaders. Mr. Andrews conducted one of the Institutional meetings in safety education and driving training at Brevard on December 5. Dr. J. Henry Highsmith, director of the division of instructional service of the State Department of Public Instruction, recently issued a statement concerning the safety education movement. He said: "The importance of safety on our highways and elsewhere cannot be exaggerated. To promote safety the part of children and adults, advantage should be taken of every opportunity to improve the situation. To assist in this enterprise, safety institutes will be conducted at various centers in the state through the cooperation of the State Department of Public Instruction, North Carolina Highway Safety Division, and the Association of Health and Physical Education of the North Carolina Education Association. "The purpose of these institutes is to bring sharply to the attention of school administrators, principals, and teachers best means of teaching safety in the school.

One here confronted with the question as to whether or not girls—on the average—are more successful in the scholastic field than are boys. Cullowhee seems to answer in the affirmative. Are boys just a wee bit thicker in the head than their sisters?
