  • Sports Section FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1964 PAGE SEVEN Spectators Standpoint By Vernon Abernethy Sports Editor The Carolinas Conference team standings played the well known game "fruit-basket-turn-over" this weel- and came out more scrambled than Brown Cafeteria's eggs. Excitement flowed through the veins of the state's small college basketball games this week and watched Western Carolina College scoot into the number one position over High Point and Elon College. It was Lenoir Rhyne's Bears' little trip down to High Point to fight the favored Panthers that really caused this whole change to be brought about. The Bears jumped the gun on the Panthers and it was nip and tuck all the way through the whole 40 minutes of action. But the final cccond abruptly stopped Ihe action at a score of 62- Gl and left the LR Bears in the spotlight. LR was boosted into fifth place in the conference and High Point was booted down one notch. The only thing left needed to shuffle our Western Carolina Catamounts into the highest spot was for Catav/ba to come through with a defeat over Elon's Christians. All hopes were deemed realities as Cataw- D ARRET J, Murray, one of ba stepped off the court WCCs standouts, pulled in 29 with an extra 2Q points points during the ACC-WCC , , , ...»£_, conference game. stacked up against Elon's boys at the close of the game. The final score in this conference game was 73-53. Catawba College's standout in every way, Bucky Pope, rolled in a total of 29 points for that game. Garrison claimed a tight second place for Catawba's scorers with 24 of the total points showing his skill. The new rankings placed Western Carolina first, High Point second and Elon College third, with Appalachian, Lenoir Rhyne and Catawba filling in the next three positions respectively. Dependant on how long our Catamounts can maintain their new standing is how we turn out at Lenoir Rhyne Wednesday. Should Western Carolina leave Hickory the victors it will take us over the biggest hump and leave the Catamounts faced with two decisive matches here at Reid Gym. The Cats will boast a home court advantage to Elon on the eighth of this month and will be pitted against High Point here again only four days later, February 12. The Cats seem to be getting ready for this excitement as can be seen by their performances against Newberry and Atlantic Christian, both times crossing the century mark. A pair of the Catamounts who can't be left without R mention of their outstanding skill and playmaking ability are Darrell Murray and Danny Tharpe, who together scored a total of 50 points during the Atlantic Christian match. Back the Cats! They are on the road to victory and by all indications, I believe they will stay there for a long while. With men working for us such as Lavelle, Home, Tharpe, Murray, the Brintnall brothers, Gustafson and more hustlers found on the waiting line, it is hard to see how a "slump" could again cause us "champ trouble." Cats Down Catawba GUSTAFSON climbs a Catawba opponent's back to break the tie at 26-26. Gustafson scored a total of 12 points In the match. Darrell Murray, Bill Home, Tommy Lavelle, and Bill Gustafson, all chalked up points in double figures as Western Carolina's Catamounts rallied in the second half to down the Catawba Indians 56-48. Three thousand fans looked on as the Cats from Cullowhee captured their 30th straight Lenoir Rhyne Topples Touted High Point In 62-61 Thriller One of the most exciting games of the entire season's play was seen Saturday night in the Alumni Gymn at High Point when the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears, loaded for "Panther," scoffed up the used-to-be number one High Point College in a thrilling 62- 61 tussle. LR's most worthy Ed Miastkowski was not as a pack of Chinese firecrackers as usual which popped him up into the scoring records with 21 points for the game. Lenoir-Rhyne saw an advantage in keeping the game at a reasonably slow pace and fought to keep good grip on the reins. The middle of the first half saw the Bears tottering on a nine point lead which seemingly angered High Point's Panthers and kicked them back into the game. Having scored only three baskets at the 17-8 mark, the Panthers set out a Bear trap hoping for a lead at half time. But the Bears, remembering the old saying, "When you've got a good thing, don't turn it loose," stayed one step ahead of the Panthers cherishing a single point advantage at half time. Half time score was 27- 26. The Bears were smiling. Glass fiber—one of the most versatile manufacturing materials—was unknown to housewives and drapers until the early 1930's. Not until the middle of the second half did High Point stumble past the blood-thirsty Bears when Forte chalked up four long shots and set the score at 40-40. A one-point lead was taken by High Point and again lost to another tie at 43-43. Seeing the chance of a loss at this point, the Bears began a fight second only to war marauders. Lenoir-Rhyne's play- maker Miastkowski began drawing fouls, sinking shots and gaining points until he built another lead of 7 points for Lenoir-Rhyne. The last three minutes of the game was a real test of nerves. The Panthers decided again that they wanted to win and set the game at the constantly-seen one point difference. But Miastkowski came through as usual for LR by picking up a few more foul shots. Jim Ehlers gained a foul shot which was proved a decisive point. Neel threw in two more points for High Point as the closing second clicked past the clock but they weren't enough to pass LR's three point lead. The winning LR Bears left the arena with 62- 61 glowing on High Point's clock. home-court win. Western's defense seemed to be the key to victory as did free throws. The Cats sank 18 of 23 foul shots for a 78.3 percentage from the line. The loss was Catawba's fifth in circuit play as against two wins. Their overall record stands at ten wins and six losses. Western's impressive man to man defense was enhanced and added to when the Cat's dropped into their popular sliding zone late in the second half. The Cats held high-scoring Bucky Pope to 12 points. Bill Gustafson's rebounding and goals kept the Catamounts in order with Catawba's shuffling offense during the first half which ended in a 20-20 tie. The Cats came on strong in the second half with the opening tip-off and were never again headed. John Garrison pumped in 14 points and Bucky Pope 12 for the Indians while Darrell Murray and Bill Home led the Cats with 14 each.
