THI WESTERN CAROLINAN, CLLLOWHH V C, NOV. 27, 194U -Western Carolina SPORTS-- BOXING Enness Lish, a freshman from Nashville, Tennessee, is giving instruction in boxing each afternoon in the gymnasium. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays the class meets at 4:30. On Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays it meets at 2:25. Just because Lish is a freshman is no sign he is a freshman at boxing. He fought during his high school career and was an ardent participant in the city tournaments of Nashville. I.at year Enness won the Tennessee State Championship in boxing in his class. Lish hopes this year to carry his team to Appalachian State Teachers College, at Boone, to Vanderbilt University, to Maryville College, and to n lghboring Y. M. C. A.'s for f ;hts. Intramural Sports (By Al Williams) ALL STAR GAME Thursday, Nov. 14, 1940; The third floor this afternoon won another intramural touch foot- bull game, which adds another one to their wins.

The second half was a different story as the third floor received several good breaks and took advantage of them and made them count to credits Wright receiving the ball ran it across for a touchdown when he received a long pass from Peek, and also making the extra point good. This making the score 7-6. Later in the last half the third floor scored again as Wright passed a long one to Griffin that was good for another touchdown. The extra point was good making the score at this time 14-16. Meredith and MacDevltt did outstanding playing for the All Stars, while Gesser and Pryor were outstanding in the line and doing extra good blocking. It looked as if Gesses has had previous experience at blocking the way he held out those boys of the third floor. Peek, Wright, and Griffin were outstanding for the third floor and did very outstanding passing on catching of the passes.

THE STUDENTS OF WESTERN CAROLINA The students of Western Carolina Teachers College enjoyed a good time at the first recreational hour held in the gymnasium, Saturday evening. November 9. Music for both square and round dancing was provided. Several games were enjoyed, such as shuffle-board, ping-pong, checkers, card games education program. The school is, in a way, an experimental Institution, experimenting with some of the more recent of education. Instead of I a student a general academic course, he ls trained in the thing he most wants to do. One boy who was failing his work and who didn't seem In be interested in anything finally let it be known he wished to study surveying. As he was just beginning the seventh grade, he did not know geometry, trigonometry, or any of the other higher branches of mathematics. He was determined to learn, however, and his teachers aided him in all possible ways. With the help of his science teacher, he made a transit, grinding the lens himself. As soon as he mastered one thing, he was put on another. He began to take an interest in his school work, and now in the eighth grade, besides being at the head of his class, he can use his transit almost as well as a professional. Mr. Andrews said that he gave much more approval than criticism to the way the physical education was carried out. This experiment shows the need of schools of this section, and much our Education Department Lenoir-Rhyne Bears, 14 to 6. The game was supposed to have been just :t little one-sided, as the Bears had, only the week before, the season, beat the Catamounts 43 to 8—but for some reason the boys from Cullowhee failed to remember this, and at the end of the game the mounts again had the best of everything except the score. Western Carolina opened the scoring for the night, about five minutes after the game started, as Bill Hardy took the ball, went straight through the line and raced 70 yards, to score standing up. Leagan's try for placement was blocked. Lenoir-Rhyne scored their first marker just before the end of the quarter, as Arndt made a 45 yard run from the center of the field to the Catamounts' 8. The Bears pushed across the score on the fourth down. Ream place-kicked the point. The bears scored their final and winning touchdown midway of the third period, on a 37 yard drive that featured a pass from Arndt to Daubert for seven four line plunges by Arndt, that carried to the three. Ream made the score on an off tackle play. Ream kicked the point. The Catamounts played a good part ofthe night in Lenoir-Rhyne territory, but were never able to make any sustained drive. Pos. W. C.

Andrews football game which was played recently at Andrews. The game was fiercely played during a snow storm. A keen sense of sportsmanship was shown and the teams seemed to be well coached. Mr. Andrews said he had never seen as many plays used in one game as these two teams got off. Both coaches and players accepted the officials' decisions without complaint. In fact, the officials were invited to referee the Andrews' Thanksgiving game with Murphy. The good officiating done by the boys was doubtless due to the experience and training they have obtained here at Western Carolina Teachers College. Incidentally Andrews won the game, 6-0. A little sidelight—From the reports that are beginning to drift out of the Rifle Club, it's a good thing rifles are not allowed on Sadie Hawkins Day. The boys of Cullowhee wouldn't have had a chance. The football season has come and gone—another page has been written into the annals of the Catamounts—probably the best that the team has ever written. From the viewpoint of the number of games won and lost the outlook may not be so bright—but there are numbers of things besides that to be considered —namely the competition the Catamounts were up against. Western Carolina only played one team that has less money available for football players than we do. Incidentally, that is one of the teams we defeated. The bright spot on the football as of this year is the tremendous improvement that the team made from the beginning of the season when Applachian defeated us 43 to 8 until the last game of the season when Lenoir-Rhyne barely defeated us 13 to 6—(and remember the same team that beat us 13 to 6, had only the week before defeated the boys from Applachian)—so evidently that makes us a much better team than at the first of the season. Mr. Andrews Consults Physical Education Head Mr. Andrews, on his trip to Raleigh with Dr. Hunter and Mr. Sutton, went to see Mr. Charles Spencer, head of the State Physical Education Department, to talk on the H. R. 10606 bill, which is before Congress now. This is a bill to promote national preparedness and national welfare through appropriation of funds to assist the several States and erritories in making adequate provisions for health education, physical education, and recreation in schools and school camps. This bill would be welcome in North Carolina because the funds will be distributed according to t h e percentage of population within the limits of five and twenty-one years of age. I large percentage of North Carolina's population is between these two ages. Mr. Andrews later went o see Mr. Jule Warren, head of the State Education Association, regarding the interpretation and support of the bill. Mr. Andrews also up on the prices of equipment and spent an afternoon with Dr. Cornwall, head of the Physical Education program at Chapel Hill, discussing intramurals and other phases of the Physical Education program.
