  • MONDAY, APRIL 7, 1947 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN PAGE SEVEN FREE THROW By CHUCK JONES Reds Battle Whites In Final Scrimmage Its still early for any predictions but the Cats at present look like a very uncertain baseball club, as liiey prepare for their opening game. With the exception of the two lettermen, Better Price and Hoot Gibson, the rest oi' the club is just one big question mark. Starting berths in all positions are wide open and with the large squad of 46 prospective players, com- petion should be keen. Warm weather has greeted the club in the last few days, providing ideal conditions for conditioning work. Marshall Teague, former Brevard College football star, and spring addition to the Cat grid- ders, should prove a big help to the team this fall. Teague looked good in spring drill with his running and accurate aerial activity fronu the tailback slot. The. Cats were weak in the pass- heaving department last season so maybe Teague is the answer. The fact that Teague and former Cat star "Hinge Hip" Al Shu- ford played together at Brevard shows up in Teague. Their broken field running is similar and they have the same hook pass. Another big reason the Cats should be better this fall is 225- pound line plunging back, Jack Arrington. Jack suffered a knee injury early last fall that kept him out all season, but is back in good shape and showed up well in spring drills. With the weather getting warmer and fishing season just around the corner, trout and bass anglers around here are becoming fidgety. Western North Carolina's mountain streams and lakes offer one of the best spots for this sport. For you early season anglers, who plan to take advantage of this, here's a tip, try a wet fly with a spinner for. the big ones. Speaking with and for the many fishing enthusiasts on the campus, Why doesn't the physical education department of the college offer a course in angling? We have the interested students and the trout streams and lakes would provide ample opportunity for the students homework.

Whether Ben Battle will be here for the May Day Dance, or if Betty Lou will take Hank . . . Mary Moody is observing P. T. while Terry Joe does a good job of it. Saturday night proves that Yankees aren't entirely incible I hear. Peanut Cotter and Anna Rose Tolbart had dinner with Art Beir and Mike Fleming. Some compliment to Simp and Coleman, huh?

Spring Football Practice Ends With An Impressive 2-Hour Scrimmage Ml GERALD WENDT Coach Young Is Pleased With Showing Squad Made Last Week Catamounts ended five weeks of spring football drills with an impressive two and one half hour intra-squad scrimmage, Saturday March 29. Coach Tom Young was pleased with the squad's showing and stated that if they continued with the same spirit and improvement he expected to have a very dependable ball club next fall. Bad "Cullowhee" weather has hampered the drills but the squad proved to be in good shape with no injuries occurring. The blocking and defense work was a little off timing, while the offensive showed improvement. The field was buzzing with activity as the "Big Red" and "Big White" teams, and a host of replacements battled up and down Hunter field in an effort to round out what will represent W.C.T.C in the gridiron wars next fall. Leading the offensive were backs: Jim Bryson, Von Ray Harris, Ovie Heavner, Paul Monroe, Mac Hensley, and Jack Arrington. Newcomer Marshall Teague, former Brevard college star- showed up well at the tailback spot in his running and passing. "Red" Wylie showed marked improvement in turning in several nice runs. The defense work was centered around last year's lettermen. Guards: Clark Pennell, all conference guard, Bill Powell, Bob Bowers, Art Byrd. Centers: Hugh Constance and Von Lemmond, Tacklers: "Buffalo" Humphries, 'Speck" Everett, Bob Waters, Harry Jaynes. and Max Beam. Ends seeing action were: Bob Tate. Bill Estes. Jim Banks, "Pinball" Allison. Elmo Neal. Other players seeing action were Mace Brown, Harry Duke, Joe Hunt, Frank Hardin, Fred King, Ben Johnson. Ray Lee, Spurgeon Ayres. Joe McCracken, Ered Denton and HUgh Turner. (Continued From Page On«-» finds its way to his desk. A book edited by Dr. Wendt, The Atomic Age Opens, appeared in 1945, four days after the first atom bomb hit Hiroshima. Dr. Wendt admits no hobbies except "science—and people." Even when on a lecture tour, he says, he is more interested in learning of new developments and "getting the feel of their reality" than he is in talking about what he knows. Before the war he made his lecture tours alone, driving in an open car, and he claims to have visited every state in the Union, and almost every county and almost every important city. Dr. Wendt is known for the contrast of his sound knowledge and Catamount Nine Faces Maryville In Season Opener The Catamount nine will play their opening game of the 1947 naseball season, when they take on the Maryville team at Maryville, April 4th and 5th. The squad of approximately 50 candidates has only two 1946 lettermen, outfielder, Better Price and infielder Sam "Hoot" Gibson. The others are freshman and soph- mores with little previous experience, but Coach Young hopes to work them into a well rounded club by the end of the season. Bad weather has prevented much practice, but the pitching staff has been working indoors for the past two weeks under the direction of Coach Jim Gudger and should be ready to go by the season opener. Leading candidates for mound duties are: Gene Grogan, Walt Deermondof, Howard Barnhorst, Howard Barnwell, Ralph Manning, L. C. Crocker, and Jim English. For the outfield berths are: Max Beam, Pete McDonald, Jim Bryson, Jim Banks, Speck Everhart, Bobby Terrell, Don Womack, Jack Allison, Warren Wylie, Tom Fore, Gus Colergerakis, Joe Bennes, Carrol Cabe, Ralph Humphries, Jim Barnwell, Jaul Monroe, Better Price, Auzmban Brady, and Murray Whisenut. Battling for nod at the catching position will be: Joe Hunt, Bill Powell, Clark Pennell. Harry Duke, Hobe Collins and Dick Scott. Infielders: Mac Hensley, Kenneth Johnson, Art Byrd, Glen Newton, Ray Lee, J. B. Beam, Ovie Heavner, Frank Hardin. Tommy Ellis, Hoot Gibson and Leroy Silcox. dignified bearing with his informal manner, his simple, human speech, and his sense of humor. His favorite closing sentence is "The best is yet to come." Dr. Wendt was born in Davenport, Iowa, and received his professional degrees at Harvard. He completed his training in pre-war France and has traveled extensively in Europe in attendance at international scienific conferences.
