rHE WESTERN CAROLINIAN (iiiouun n c. may 7. 1941 -Western Carolina SPORTS- Treacling The Catamount Trails (By Johnny Wilson) WMmnummuav Dear old baseball is about to sing its swan song here on the hill—we have only two more games—both of them with Tusculum college of Greeneville, Tennessee—pardon ladies and gentlemen—we have three games—we are playing Enka at Enka this Thursday— on our way back from Tusculum—We play Tusculum at Greeneville, Wednesday afternoon—and their return game is on the 22— I think—but don't quote me. And this may be the swan song for most of the ball players—several are in line for call to their country just as soon as school is out—and a great many more will likely be called—among those are Clyde Peek, Revis Frye, Beter Price, and Franklin Gudger— and if the draft age is lowered to 18—which it looks like it will be—it will take the rest of them—Garland Adams, Bob Reese, Charles Leagan, David Meredith, Albert Shuford, Bob Wright, Wayne Bradburn, Sea- biscuit Rhodes, Tom Gheen, B. C. Moss, and "Big 4" Howard And, incidentally, this won't leave anyone to play here next year—will it? Maybe that is the sacrifice that old Western Carolina will have to make! The intramural program is going stronger than ever—contests of every kind and fashion are being held most every day—the big field day held last Saturday between the different floors of the dormitory was a huge success—the leaders in this program are to be commended—namely Coaches Andrews and McDonald. And on the subject of the draft—we have already lost one of our old standbys—someone who has been as much a part of the athletic programs at Western Carolina as the Gym—Spike Plemmons recently accepted a position with the Allis-Chalmers Corporation and left school a short time ago. Spike has been in school here four years and made letters in baseball and football every year—we are sorry to lose Spike— ^and may he be a huge success in his new position. I) I LOOK \MNs DOINGS \M> DONES, OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Helen M. Hartshorn John Crawford i Intramural Sports K»«8W9«iS!a« \ Williams) Baseball vs Old Sol (By John Crawford) A dry, burning sun beats down from a cloudless sky. Not even the fairest hint of a breeze stirs the air. Out on the baseball field, eight players hoarsely cheer on their pitcher. Up in the stands, fans sweat, squirm and suffer in the intense heat. The first man up flies out; the second fans. The third singles, but the fourth forces him at second. The young lady in yellow attempts to fasten a newspaper so as to keep the sun off her tender (hum) face. In the last half of the first, one run is scored. There aren't many yells. Everyone is downing a coke or fascinatedly watching creamy white turn angry red. In the second, the batters go down in one, two, three order. The sweet young thing in white wants her escort to put himself between her and the sun. Too bad he hasn't an antigravity belt. In the last half of the second, someone slaps out a homer. The coca-cola vender just would be in the way. In the first of the third.the opposition suddenly comes awake and poles in four runs. The fans mutter and wonder if they can get something to relieve their burns. In the second half, no score. But, what's the difference! Between the sun and the coke hawkers, one can't tell what is going on. Out on the field, the men rasp hoarsely through dry lips, squint at the sun, which only caresses their tanned skin, and wonder why they don't get more yells. Maybe they should ask somebody $1.00 Hinds Lotion, 49c — 440 Size Kleenex. 25c Hurricane Lamp, 20c The Brown Company CULLOWHEE, N. C. COMPLIMENTS OF FINKELSTEINS 7 SOUTHWEST PACK SQUARE ASHEVILLE, N.

"ASK FOR BECKER'S PRODUCTS" In the past lew days, Mr. Andrews has attended tin. met* having bearings upon Physical Education. He atb the Pre-Sesskm Confi Safety at Atlantic City, New Jersey, Monday and Tuesday, April 28-29; he attended tin- American Association of Hi Physical Education, and Re tion Conference, at Atlantic city, April 30-May 1, 2, and 3. He also attended the Safety Institu Chapel Hill. Many of the education leaders of the United St;i ruled papers on safety at the Pre- Session Conference. The entire group went on record as being In favor of a recommendation to the National Education Association for more research on equipment for sports. It was found that home accidents are second only to traffic accidents. Good education should do away with many of these accidents. In the second conference at Atlantic City, Mr. Andrews presented an exhibit of the intra- murals in this college. Dr. John L. Ferguson, of the City College of New York City, was in charge. He expressed his pleasure with the W. C. T. C. exhibit in these words: "It could only have been made by a school with an excellent Intramural program. I feel that in your exhibit and in your remarks during the discussions that you have made a helpful contribution t0 the success of the intramural section." Many ideas were brought out and very interesting experiments and practices from all over the country were discussed. Eleanor Tennant, one of the best known tennis coaches in the world, held a tennis clinic. Alice Marble. Helen Bernard, Don Budge and Bill Til- den performed. The Safety Institute was sponsored by the North Carolina State Department of Public Instruction, North Carolina Highway Safety Division, and the University of North Carolina in close collaboration with the Center of Safety Education in New York University. Dr. Walter Cutter, of the Highway Safety Division., and Dr Milton Cramer, of the Center for Safety, made this Institute an interresting and valuable experience for each college representative. For eleven hours a day, the conferees sat around the conference table working out procedures and methods designed to most effectively get the safety concept across to teachers .students, and their communities. W. C. T. C. is one of the first colleges in the South to recognize the safety problem as being one of education possibilities. It is one of the two in the state recognizing it enough to give safety courses for credit. The University of North Carolina is the other. Next year, the Education department of W. C. T. C. plans to include safety materials in several courses- Special courses in safety will be offered in the near future. Miss Benton's and Mr. Andrew's classes in playground activities are developing projects in homemade recreational equipment. This is one axample of the P. E. Department's attempt to adjust materials taught in classes to the specific needs of his section. Some of the projects are: Checkers—made from sawed off pieces of broomstick and dyed with biack shoe polish and red ink. Quoits—made from discarded garden hose. Bows—made from inexpensive hickory and lemonwood staves. Arrows—made from pine blocks. Ping Pong Nets—made from orange sacks. Ping Pong Paddles—made from ply-wood pieces taken from packing boxes. Table Croquet Sets—mallet- from sections of broomstick- wickets-from coat hangers- balls -from large marbles.

This is 500 per cent increase over last year. e have been many facts contributing to this. One is that the P, ('. Department is commencing to make an impression on the students with the idea that a game useful as leisure for .adults should be acquired as early as possible. Another reason is that the golf classes have been extra large for the past few years. Too, the P. E. Department furnishes an adequate supply of golf equipment for student use. Perhaps, the most important reason, however, is the improvement of the golf course. Mr. F. R. Andrews has spent much time and effort in getting it in excellent condition.

A new power mower has been bought and has put the fairways in first class condition. The debris and weeds have been cleared from the roughs s0 that it is almost impossible to lose a ball. These are just a few of the improvements. Come out and see for yorself. Pri ink And Me Gui .
