  • PAGE FOUR THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN February 23, 1948 ■■+ + Spotting The Sports By H. R. Griffin To Let You Know _ —.— + BASKETBALL SPOTS Bob Tate came through in the Greensboro Daily News as the "Athlete of the Week." He had a nice write up and picture of his famed one hand set shot . . . prediction: "Ace" McGinn will be having the same honor before the end of the season . . . The Catamounts ran into one more hot ball team in Appalachian. The Mountaineers hit the fantastic average of 85 per cent of their shots against our boys while we were getting 19 per cent. Thirty is considered very good . . . Everyone had their ears_ glued to the radio the other night listening to the Kentucky-Notre Dame game. Leo Barnhorst, brother of our own Howard, was one of the Dame key men, especially on rebounds like his brother. Howard's comment, "I taught him all he knows." Also in the last issue of Sports, a monthly magazine, Leo's picture appeared (beg your pardon), Helen), and it is quite easy to see who got the looks in the family . . . Why do we always run into these teams when they are leading the conference; but, then, they are the ones to beat ... In the game with East Tennessee, our team hit 40 per cent. Tate had 60 per cent and McGinn had .500 ... In this same ball game there was some difference of opinion as to who got one of our baskets. McGinn shot and the official called it 2 points because the net was touched. However Tate followed the shot and since it was one of our men who hit the net the official scorer gave the basket to Tate. I ask you how can a field goal be scored after the whistle has blown, making the ball dead ...?... McGinn recently had a nice write up in the Asheville Citizen. It's damn time the little man had some publicity . . . Looks like the Davis boy, if he can keep it up, will be the man to step into Tate's place when the latter graduates. Which reminds me, it is a little early but our team will be good next year. We will lose only Barnhorst and have several men coming up such as Gregory and Carter to take his place. The North State Conference had better get ready for next year and the Catamounts. THE OLD HOME TOWN i t Nmn (Mk* By STANLEY Mountaineer Mat Team Wins, 32-0 BOONE. — Appalachian State's Mountaineer wrestlers defeated Western Carolina Teachers in a series of bouts here February 4, 32-0. The Mountaineers won the first four matches by falls and took the final four on decisions. The summaries: 121—Jencsen, Appalachian State, won a double fall from Clayton. 128—Dancy, Appalachian State, won a double fall from Bird. 136—Sparks, Appalachian State, It's here because it's not there. Harry Duke announced his engagement at breakfast to Sara Sue Norton at Cullowhee. Wedding will take place in June. Effie may not be as big as Speck but he seems to be filling his shoes. Recently Burt Lane and Marie Leslie broke up—for one whole night. Silent Ed couldn't decide whether to get after "Peanut" or Maxie. He finally decided on Maxie. We have hopes that Jack Angel will get after "Peanut." One blonde and one dirty blond are ready to spit on Blackie Clark. If Charlie Bird will tell us again he'll never fall in love, we'll believe him. "We don't want him; jou can have him; he's too fat for us—that's Jimbo; we've decided Tubby can have him after all. Jimbo's twin "Dumbo," is Fred Moore. Al Caparillo is a cute boy. Ask Darlene, or ask Al. "Maggie" and Hank keep running around in circles — looking for each other all the time. "Hot-lips" Lindsey—keep your head out of the coffee pot next time. Loee Alley is understudying the Dean. Check that higher plane those five cute girls lived on all last week! No one could blame June Wright for saying to Mace Brown, "You're mean to me." In the spotlight as the most successful couples as far as being couples is concerned are Bobby and Corley and Tommy and Mii- lie. Get a gander at that new polished look of Janie Walker's. Check thsoe bated breaths around ye old library of late. That serene beauty is Libby Colville, the sharpest little lady we've seen from Bryson City. "Wit and Charm" go well together as "Witty" Joe Wiggins and "Charming" Freda Arnold get on and on. Never let that couple be called dull! Remember when the late Worm predicted great things for J. B. and Hazel? The fellow must have been psychic! In August, so they say. Contented: Need Noblitt and Jane Callison. Let's close on this pleasant note. won a fall from Atkinson in 2:50, first period. 145—Sellers, Appalachian State, won a double fall from Irony. 155—McLean, Appalachian State, won decision from Thames. 165—Tomick, Appalachian State, won decision from Garland. 175—Harris, Appalachian State, won decision from Burleson. Heavyweight—Bandy, Appalachian State, won decision from Goodson. WHERE THERE'S COKE THERE'S HOSPITALITY MR. LINDBERG RECOVERS Mr. Florian Lindberg is back on the campus after a long stay at Duke hospital in Durham. He has had two serious operations and is now recovering in his home. He stated that he hoped to start teaching his classes next week, and will gradually take over his many other duties. Ask for it either way ... both trade-marks mean the same thing.
