Saturday, March 6, 1954 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page J ATHLETES TAKE BREATHER HOLLYWOOD *S KORNER By Dick Carpenter COACH TOM YOUNG has announced that spring football drills will start March 27. Twenty full clays of practice are in store for football candidates and they should finish up by the lattto of April. Ever since the first of January ootball players have been having a meeting once a week to just "talk football." There has bean a ge- these oigs of thirty-five, which should indicate ti where from 35 to 45 boys will participate in these drills. Next year WCC will be without ithe servic \ eight seniors who i will graduate this | spring: Church, Hen r y, Moore, Pappas, Funderburk, Stephens, Bell, and Howell [compose this group. Sin. I quarter Moose withdrawn from tschool, and Wendell Moore has been drafted. However, it looks as if things maybe looking up for next year, as some of our players are back from ithe Korean War— Joe Pressley, "Lard" Cunningham, and Ernest Bumgarner. Also returning is Bob Lee, first-string quarterback three years ago, who has been serving in the armed forces. Bob is by far one of the best passers ever to attend Western Carolina and he is also a hard runner. Along with Tommy Lewis, this should provide one of the best double punches in the conference. We also understand that some of our heavier linemen of past years will be discharged this summer and will enroll next fall quarter. So look out North Staters for the "Cats" in '54. Radford has WESTERN CAROLINA SCORED A TOTAL of 2052 in its 25 games this season for a team average of 82.08. The Cats' opponents scored 1876 points for an average of 75.04 per contest. With Jim Jordan and Bob Ray leading the scoring with averages of 20.4 and 16.7 respectively, the Cats were tough to handle this year. They won 16 games this year while dropping 9, two of which were to the Enka Rayonites. Twice tne Cats went over the century mark in posting victories, their latest victim being Carson- Newman (107-85). Also the Cats knocked. East Carolina out of the ranks of the undefeated with an upset win of 68-65 on their home court. One senior will leave the lineup ts this winter, this being Numa Martin, guard and captain of tin units. Numa came into his own this year, as hi played marvelous ball all season. We will all miss seeing his face in the white and gold uniform for which he has played so well these past four years. But we all know that he will be one of Western Carolina's better play-makers. ' Jim Jordan and Boy Ray made the All-North State Basketball team as selected by the Greensboro Daily News. Jim was also mentioned for Little All-American. East Carolina's Salty Hodges also made the All-North State team— This corner is wondering what would have happened if there was just one vacancy left to fill on the All-North State team, and there had to be a decision between Jordan and "Salty," I know the East Carolina fans would help you complain over your loss "Salty". Not to be denied of any honor which they deserve, we must note that "Herm" Shamel and "Sissy" Simpson also had a lot to do with ■the team's honors this year. I was sorry to hear that Simpson has dropped out of school, but we hope he will be back soon. A lot of people have been wondering just what the Cats did individually, below are the averages of the starting Catamount five: Player FG FT TP Avg. G Jordan 186 124 491 20.4 24 Ray 158 101 417 16.7 25 Shamel 78 96 252 10.1 25 Simpson 104 42 250 10.1 25 Martin 68 97 233 9.3 25 IT SEEMED TO BE MARDI GRAS bound for the four members of the OP. E.

E. convention, from what I hear they would have had a bigger time if they had got more sleep, it seems that the airplanes from a nearby airfield kept them awake most of the morning (that's when they slept), and the foot soldiers gave them considerable trouble at night (when they were at camp— three hours). Another interesting item that happened was when the four went into a cafe and ordered four Coca Cola's. This particular cafe also had a nice jazz band— being that there was no cover charge Dr. Constantz wondered how they were able to pay for having such a wonderful band—he found out the bill was $3.40 or 85 cents a coke—I wonder if that answered his question? Well, it looks if baseball is in the air now as 35 boys reported to Coach Gudger's first call for candidates. Gudger is hoping for a good season as a good many letter- men are back this year. Competition will be high and it could be interesting to see who will don the uniforms. "Krut" Kuykendal fractured his ankle several weeks ago in an auto accident, and will be out of the Cats' lineup for the first part of the season. He was Western Carolina's top hurler last year. Hurry up and get that foot well, because we all want to see you back on the mound again soon. This is the first of a series of sports articles which will appear in The Western Carolinian bimonthly, if you like it let me know, if you don't, tell me something in sports here at Western Carolina that you are interested in knowing and I will try my best to get the information for you. WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL INTRAMURALS First Madison Wins Over Second Moore Second Moore lost to First Madison by a score of 41 to 35. Being a close game all the way kept everyone going at full' speed. Barbara Proctor proved to be an outstanding player for the winners, while Ann Edwards and Jerry Hensley were outstanding in the Moore lineup. Fourth Madison Loses T6 Second Madison Second Madison won over Fourth Madison by a slanting score of 51 to 11. Shirley Cox and Becky Jessup contributed their talent to help the Second Madisons to get an early lead and keep it. Barbara Dodson and Grace Davis were outstanding for the losers. First Madison Drops Thriller To Third Moore Third Moore won over First Madison by a score of 31 to 22 in and exciting semi-final game.

Barbara Proctor and Mary Ann Fettes were the big guns for First Madison. EAST CAROLINA TAKES NORTH STATE in LEXINGTON, Feb. 27 — East Carolina came through tonight to win the North State Conference ■-.ball tournament crown by •mg the Atlantic Chi Bulldogs by a score of 86-75. • ing like the favorites they broke oul od-tuck battle in the second quart on went on to win without serious trouble before a Second Madison Basketball Champions Third Madison dropped a thriller to Second Madison by a score of 62 to 50 in the finals of the basketball intramurals. Regina Ferguson racked 25 points to lead her team to the winning victory. Mary Alice Gambill hit 23 points for Third Madison. Second Madison took an early lead and kept it throughout the game. There was a wide margin in 'the score at the beginning of the game because of the outstanding guarding of Arlington, Maxwell, and Smathers for Second Madison. With the excellent guarding of Joan Rogers and Jo Marion, and the shooting of Mary Alice Gam- bill, Third began to pull upward but couldn't get ahead. Second Madison fought hard and kept the lead. Congratulations to Second Madison, they beat a good team to win the 1954 basketball championship. BASEBALL SCHEDULE March 29—University of Tennes- I Cullowhee at 3 p. m.
