The game between the two outfits for the second match was canceled. In the match the Cats won with a great deal of ease. They ran up a lead of 28-16 in the opening half and were never headed. Raymond Ghoded, Cat center and captain, led the home team in scoring with 21 points. Ballou, playing guard, tallied 13 points, as did the Lion forward, Williams. Line-up: W.C.T.C.

Catamounts Tread Off To Good Start Off to a good start in their somewhat heavy schedule, the Catamounts continued preparations this week for games with Brevard college at Brevard Friday and Saturday. In the pre-Christmas contests the Catamounts showed to advantage and in their only test since the start of the New Year they handed the Mars Hill outfit a good trouncing. As the Cats face the bulk of the regular season, Coach Marion McDonald is running Ik- Cl'son anu ?.£lph Robertson as forwards, Captain Raymond Rhodes of Asheville at center, and Tommy Ballou and Harold Collins at guards. Bill Smith, looked upon as a regular, will see limited service at guard due to a leg injury. Rhodes, who played at Valley Springs before entering Western Carolina, is serving his fourth season on the Cat team. He recently was elected captain. Coach McDonald has announced that some changes have been made in the schedule for this season. Under the present schedule the Western Carolina cagers have eight conference games and seven non- conference games, before ringing down the curtain with the North Carolina conference tournament in which they hope to participate. Only four top teams will play in the tournament this year and the Catamounts are going to try their "dead-level" best to reach the goal which they have set—being one of the top teams of that four. Third Floor Defeats Second In Close Match The under estimated third floor basketball team won a hard fought game Thursday night, January 7, from Smith's second floor outfit. With Wall and Gregory leading the way, the third floor got off to an early lead and was never passed. Johnson was the defensive star for the third, while Miller and Neal were outstanding for the losers. Gibbs, first floor center, took a very hard fall near the end of the game and had to be carried off the court.

Sports Notes After holiday practice periods are rounding out, our basketball team is in fine shape. There is a marked improvement in most of the boys' playing. Many interesting games are on schedule ... if the OPA doesn't decide otherwise. It is to be hoped that they realize athletics is the spark behind all colleges and will let the program continue at least on a small scale. . . . "Biscuit" Rhodes is captain this year. . . . Intramural spirit has grown since basketball started but it could still be improved. . . . The intramural games are really exciting. . . . The third floor has a "dark horse" with the second favored. Two carrom boards have been added to the equipment in the "W" room. This game is most interesting. Have you tired it? Six Students Receive Instructor's Certificates Mr. James D. Hall, special field representative of the American Red Cross, was on the campus last week for the purpose of giving to a group of students the special course in first aid which allows them to receive instructor's certificates. Mr. Hall has been a volunteer worker for the Red Cross for thirty-three years, and has, in that course of time, taught a great number of classes in the three phases of Red Cross work: First aid, accident prevention and life saving. He has been designated as special field representative for the area east of the Mississippi, with headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia. Of the original eight students who started the special twelve and one-half hour course, six received their certificates, one dropped out due to illness and the other dropped because she did not meet the age requirement. Those students who received their instructor's certificates were: Helen Hartshorn, of Asheville; Ray Allison, of Swannanoa; Daisy Wallin, Marshall; Charles Leagon, Black Mountain; Louise Byers, of Edneyville, and Dorothy Fouts, Franklin. First Floor Wins Season's Opener In an exciting prelude to the Canton Y-Varsity basketball game, December 10 at Canton the third floor defeated the second floor, 25-21. The game was hard fought but the second floor's reserves proved the determining factor. Gregory was high scorer for the third floor with 9 points as Brown Griffin and Buckner scored 10 and 8 points, respectively, for the second. The line-ups: Third Floor Second Floor F—Freeman B. Griffin (10) F—Gregory (9) G: Howard (1) C—Gibson (4) Buckner (8) G—Eller (5) Roberts G—T. Johnson (3) Shuford (2) Subs: Third Floor — Cowan; Second Floor—Hensley, Hamilton, Goodson (1), H.

Buy Bonds and Stamps, Write Letters and Send Smokes To Men In Service "Start the New Year Right", says the headline "With the Right Combination for More Smoking Pleasure." The current Chesterfield theme is continued in the copy which points out the importance of proper blending in giving smokers a milder, cooler and better- tasting cigarette. The advertisement is illustrated with the picture of an attractive young woman dressed in the uniform of the American Women's Voluntary Services. In one hand she holds a sheaf of war bonds and stamps and in the other a letter and a carton of Chesterfields. Reports from men in the service indicates that no gift is more College Training Plans For Army And Navy Men W. C. T. C. Applies For Training Of Reserve Men. The Secretaries of War and Navy—with the approval of Manpower Commissioner Paul McNutt, have announced the long-awaited college training program for service men and service men-to-be. Loose ends of the dual program still need to be tied together. For example, just how men are to be chosen for the college work isn't yet clear. Which colleges will be selected for training centers is another unanswered question, although Secretary of Navy Knox has said, "We will given special consideration to those with meager financial resources whose existence is threatened by the war." Main provisions of the plans, as they affect both army and navy, are these: Army men 21 years old and under, and navy men 22 and under, may apply for the college work. Nothing in the new plans will affect existing contracts of army or navy with colleges. Men selected for college training will wear uniforms, be on active duty and receive service pay. Soldiers will go to school as privates, seventh grade; sailors as apprentice seamen. Civilian professors will do most of the teaching. Main provisions of the army plan, known as the "Army Specialized Training Program": Men chosen for college training will be drawn from enlisted men who are taking or have finished, basic training. Exceptions are medical, dentistry and veterinary students in the enlisted reserves who will continue their studies under the new program in an active duty status. Medical, dental and veterinary students not in the reserves may finish another semester of college. After that, they apparently will be subject to selective service and will welcome than cigarettes. On distant fronts, like Afrca and the South Pacific, next to a letter from home there is nothing the men would rather receive than cigarettes made in the U. S. A. Chesterfield points this out in its newspaper and radio advertising and urges its readers and listeners to send cigarettes regularly to men in uniform.

FORNA GOOD BUY — BUY BONDS. have to qualify for training under under the new program in order to continue their education. Pre-medical and p re-dental students and junior and senior engineers, whether or not they are in the reserves, also may finish another semester of college. All other students in the reserves may expect to be put on active duty soon. All other students not in the reserves are subject to the draft now. The navy's side of the new program is known as the "Navy College Training Program". Normally, students in this program will be picked during their senior year in high school. At a "date to be announced", all V-l, V-5 and V-7 reservists in college will be placed on active duty as apprentice seamen, and V-l's and V-7's then may continue their studies under the new plan at least through their junior year. Those who qualify as medical, dental, engineering and theological students may complete their professional studies. V-5's may complete the year "current at the time of their enlistment or transfer to another division." Students now holding probationary commissions may resign "at a date to be announced", enter the new college program, and be commissioned again later. Now that general outlines are drawn for the army-navy college program, the War Manpower Commission is working on a similar plan which would provide college training for prospective civilian war workers, including both men and women. This plan should take up some of the slack in college enrollment which has dropped about 14 per cent in the last year. That's assuming the government finances such education. Extent of financing depends upon how much money congress will appropriate. Principal courses of study probably would be medicine, chemistry and engineering, although McNutt has said liberal arts will not be overlooked. With the facilities which West- Students In All Fields Sought For Engineer Training In U. S. Service (Continued from page 1) strictly engineering subjects, the completion of any ESMWT course in engineering will be accepted. Engineering, science and management war training courses are tuition-free, sponsored by the U. S. office of education, offered at about 200 colleges throughout the country. Countless new people are urgently needed in the engineering field in the federal service because of the induction of federal employees into the armed forces and the growth of engineering problems in the conduct of the war. Besides offering a certain amount of prestige, the work is performed in federal agencies throughout the country under conditions that are pleasant and attractive. Opportunity for advancement in engineering in the federal service is good, depending upon the abilities of the individual. Senior college students and persons enrolled in ESMWT courses in engineering, who are otherwise qualified, upon applying to the commission, may receive provisional appointments to federal positions as junior engineers, with entrance on duty deferred until completion of the course. Announcement No. 281 of the commission, stating the new requirements for entrance to junior engineer positions in the federal service, may be read at the office of Miss Albright or Dean Bird, or obtained at first- and second-class post offices. Forms for applying, obtainable at first- and second-hand post offices, must be sent to the U. em Carolina Teachers College has at hand, we believe that she could quite capably handle either of the new programs. Application has been made by the college as a location for one of the training centers.

If we stay with the profession, doubtless we will emerge all the better for it." In answer to the question of adapting schools to the present crisis the letter states: "A brief analysis reveals that little, if any change is needed in the instruction in the elementary school. This group is to be prepared for service as adult citizens'in a world, which, we believe, will be preace- ful and democratic. Therefore, teach pupils to read, spell, write and perform arithmetic. Give emphasis to history and geography. Through the resources of soil, climate and culture lead the pupils to understand the interdependence of nations. Show the key positions held by the United States and stress one responsibility for world order, justice, and security. Do not neglect the training in music, art and literature. "In the secondardy school some necessary changes will be made. A greater emphasis is being put on mathematics, science and physical education. Army officers tell us that we should stress accuracy or exactness in school work — These are worthwhile habits in peace time as well as in war." S. Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C, and will be accepted until the needs of the service are met. Besides widening opportunities for college men and women in junior engineer positions in the federal service, the commission also announces greatly modified requirements for engineering draftsmen positions, and for the higher grades of engineering positions. Announcements 283 and 281 should be seen for these positions. Compliments Of Sylva Flower and Gift Shop Appropriate Flowers For All Occasions VELT'S CAFE The Home Of Good Food Phone 32 Sylva, N. C.
