THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN, CULLOWHEE, N. C, Mar. 5, 1M1 -Western Carolina SPORTS- Treading The Catamount Trails (By Johnny Wilson) ssssaasffiHKsass Well don't you wish the weather would make up its mind—You know folks its time for baseball—time sure has passed—Basketball season has become a thing of the past—And it was a pretty successful season—don't you think—The Catamounts were steadily improving—Maybe it was that the season just did not last long eno igh— And poor Delinar Pryor—didn't even get to make the trip to the tour.lament—hadn't you heard Del- mar had the measles- -Pardon me—it was the mumps —and no kiddin—according to Delmar they are nothing to be kiddin about—Incidentally our Pryor boy was badly missed in the game with Boone—From all indications he would have been all we needed to have staved of that last minute rally of the Boonemen— and remember we were leading them with only three minutes to play—Suppose we could blame our loss on nature— Have you heard all the talk that has been going on around the Campus lately— Yes its baseball time again—almost every day a group of young hopefuls can be seen around Madison Hall passing—According to all outlook we should have one of the best teams this year we have ever had—"Big" Sam Ardrey and George Lee will be missed and hard to replace—but according to the rumors there is plenty of good material to step into their shoes—folks say that Gardner Adams, who works in the book store, is a whiz when it comes to covering the first base position— Griffin is back to command the mound position— Clyde Peek and Spike Plemmons are both back—just to mention a few—and there are a great many more— How many of you have seen our wrestling team in action—well if you haven't you certainly should— It is to be commended—this is its first year—and yet they have won the majority of their matches—and incidentally they have wrestled both the North Carolina and Tennessee Champions— |W.

A student now must buy his own uniform and is responsible for it. Under the new plan, the sanitary problem would be taken care of. The student usually wears his suit between the dormitory and the gymnasium, constituting a health and dormitory administrative problem. In the new plan, the student will dress at the gym. If this plan can be worked out it will be of great advantage to the student. Have you noticed the mime- stuped posters pasted about the Kyin? No doubt these posters toaare attracted many into other- wiifle ignored activities. Uhat nerve-racking hammering, banging, and boring noise wiilaoon be gone from the gym. The double courts should be ready for use by the time this paper is out. Some of the faculty have already ;Bone into training for the annual faculty-student baseball game. Mr. Seymour is practicing pitching, although he isn't always pitching a baseball. Dr. Smith is practicing swinging. He got the hits last year. Mr. Dodson, with his underhanded delivery doesn't have t0 practice. He's just naturally "that- away." Mr. McDonald has already started to lose his winter surplus and is almost normal. Normal is when you can hear his bones. Comments are heard from every side on the newly organized wrestling team. This team, new as it is, has won four of its six meets—the last four.
