  • Friday, February 28, 1964 Page 10 The Western Carolinian SPORTS SECTION Spectators Standpoint By Vernon Abernethy Sports Editor Western Carolina's scheduled basketball season ended last Saturday with a defeat handed to the Cata mount five by Elon's Christians. Going into the final game, High Point College and Western Carolina were both seeking not only a victory, but also top-seeding in the conference standings. The final game for the two separate, worthy teams was the determining factor. High Point rolled over the Lenoir Rhyne Bears in their final tilt in Hickory the same night Western folded to Elon. This High Point victory coupled with Western'.' loss jolted the Panthers into the conference's most wanted cage position and placed Western in second place. Now, the Carolinas Conference teams face the long awaited tournament season which carried WCC almost all the way to the top in the NAIA division last year. The "tournament chain" links Lexington, N. C, to Kansas City, the end of the line. Drawings for the matches which are to determine the honored team to go to K. C. placed our Catamounts against Pfeiffer next Wednesday, March 4, in Lexington. The tournament will also match High Point College in a clash with Appalachian's Mountaineers. There will be no let up in the sports deparment after the basketball equipment has been finally piacked in the moth balls for a "long season's nap" and Reid Gym gets a rest from its flow of court excitement. The action will be shifted to the baseball field where our new Coach Blackburn will introduce again to the campus what is considered as the national sport—BASEBALL. Coach Blackburn will receive his help from 31 men who are out for this '64 season and hoping to claim one of the nine positions on the field. There are four pitchers who will see a load of action this spring. Western will claim two new left-handers ready for the mound who are Jim Raleigh, a freshman, and Rod Rogers, a veteran from last year. The two remaining right-handers are Jim Baldwin from Asheville along with Glen Ivy, a boy from Habersham, Ga., who kept the game rolling with his fine pitching last year. Action will be seen from the baseball team March 23, at 3 p.m. on our own field when we stand against Western Maryland.

Along with him is his attractive wife Sandy, and his young son Ron Junior. By now, Mrs. Blackburn has gotten out the pots and pans and cooked quite a few delightful meals. A talk with Tom Young, Director of Athletics at Western Carolina College showed that he was extremely happy that the college was able to claim the services of the new baseball coach at this early date. Mr. Young seems very impressed with the neat young coach. "He certainly makes a good impression on people," says Mr. Young. And you can certainly see in him the background of a Pittsburg Pirate baseball career. From all indications, he is itching to get started with his new team. Coach Tom Young believes that Western Carolina is headed the modeling of an extra fine set of coaches in the athletic division of the college. E3 sillies. , . . with vigorous physical activity for at least 15 minutes every day. That'sallitwilltaketogetandkeep our children in shape. Right now, one third of them are unable to pass minimum physical achievement tests. That's because most physical activity programs in our schools concentrate on the 10% or so of our youngsters interested in varsity sports. The other 90%—those most in need of physical conditioning— rarely getthe body-building activities they need. Our schools can help by offering a planned, vigorous physical education program. Talk to your local school officials about it. And, for a free booklet to help you evaluate the youth fitness of your school, write the President's Council on Physical Fitness, Washington 25, D.C. #? The Western Carolinian needs sportswriters, copy- readers, and typists to serve on the staff beginning immediately. Anyone interested in these positions see Vernon Abernethy in Buchanan, Jerry Chambers in Reynolds, or come by the office in Joyner at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday nights. Seven Senior Team Members Play In Season's Home Finale Action and school-spirit were the key-notes as the Cats smashed Appalachian in Reid Gymnasium, February 19, in a sparkling 77-54 victory. Tiny Lavelle sparked the Cats with 15 rebounds and 14 points as the cats grabbed their 32nd consecutive home win. Held to 5 points during the first half, Danny Tharpe found his range in the second half to lead the Cats game speech by head cheerleader Betty Ann Berry touched the hearts of fans and produced excitement, almost pandemon- nium, which prevailed throughout the game. New Cheerleaders for the 1964-65 season, Susan Crisp, Betty Warren, Janet Carpenter, and Angie Jones were announced, and Teresa Roberts was announced as the new head cheerleader. DANNY THARPE, one of Western Carolina's most outstanding players, scampers past one of Appalachian's men. Tharpe seemingly draws a foul in the situation. in total scoring with 26 points. Lavelle and Murray were the other cats who hit double-figures with 16 and 11 points respectively. The only Mountaineer to see double figures was Wayne Duncan, with 15 points. Coming to Cullowhee to try for a second victory this year over the Cats, the Mountaineers led the ball game only one time, and were down by 20 points at half-time when the score was 43-23. The spirit matched the action well as 2,500 fans witnessed the cats hit the Reid Court for the last time this season. A pre- Ten seniors, three cheerleaders, Kim Cashion, Betty Ann Berry, and Vonnie Womble, and seven basketball team members were recognized as commencing to participate in their final basketball game at Reid. The senior team members, Bill Gustafson, Tiny Lavelle, Phil Brintnall, Danny Tharpe, Bill Home, Larry Brooks, and Darrell Murray were recognized, and given a fifteen minute standing ovation as a reflection of the students appreciation for the brilliant service rendered to Western Carolina by these seven "Gugermen." Davidson Is Tourney Favorite Southern conference champion Davidson, who clinched their conference title by lashing The Citadel 87-78 will be out for better things when they again see action at Charlotte in the tournament opening in the Coliseum. Lefty DrieselPs words are, "Now we start playing where it counts." Davidson's Wildcats, with a 21-3 overall record is the favored team and West Virginia will be also an odds-picker in the Southern Conference Tournament. Hetzel, Davidson's key player and All-American Candidate, is expected to go great guns in the tournament which may have a bearing on the national champion. By topping this tournament, Davidson will have a chance to go for Duke again. Duke, incidently, is fourth-ranked. Davidson, with its well-balanced team is currently ranked in the number nine spot. The Coliseum will probably be well- filled when Davidson takes on the Citadel Thursday in what may prove to be a game to watch. Can Hetzel turn in another sparkling performance and lead the Wildcats to victory? The Southern Conference's leading scorer and rebounder will answer this question Thursday night. In case you are considering seeing this action, you had bet- get to Charlotte Coliseum early to beat the crowd and find a good seat to watch the round of excitement.
