  • FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1964 Page 6 The Western Carolinian SPORTS SECTION Conference Play Begins Cats Down Appalachian State !n Opening Game Here Friday Spectators Standpoint By Vernon Abernethy, Sports Editor Along with the brilliant job our Catamount base bailers are doing, I guess we should give a good bit of recognition to the tennis team, which traveled to High Point College last week end and pulled the tennis team into a 5-2 win Saturday. Friday was a weak day for the Cats as they fell behind in a 4-3 defeat. Karen Saunders held down the number one position Friday afternoon for Western Carolina. Her match was against Wayne Furman, High Point's number one man. Furman proved himself a better "racketeer" than Miss Saunders by winning the first two sets of each evening by scores of 6-4 and 6-0. Furman came back just as tough the following day and defeated our Bob Burrell with an identical score of those Friday: 6-4, 6-0. Fred Ryder, a sandy blonde Floridian who probably talks to his opponents across the court about the last auto race or Fred Lorensen's best time, helped push Western Carolina into two victories during the events Saturday evening. High Point's McCarthy fell behind Ryder that evening 6-4 in the first set and 6-2 in the sec ond. When Coach Stewart matched Saunders and Ryder for a team to play Rosenmarkle and Amick in doubles Saturday, the two Western Carolinians pushed a close 7-5 victory the first time up, and pulled through the next set by a score of 6-1. Langlon Seely won his match Saturday after a 6-1, 6-3 defeat handed to him by Amick. Saturday, Seely defeated the same opponent by a couple of 6-1 sets. Seely, a senior, is also a vet from last year who is expected to do another good job this year. Nick Kale, a Shelby frosh, brought home three victories. Friday, Kale pulled a close match over High Point's Rios which ran for three sets. Kale won the first set by a score of 6-3. The second set went to Rios, 6-3. A final 6-1 set won by Kale handed WCC the match. In a double Saturday afternoon, Kale teamed up with Bob Burrell and was part of another victory over McCarthy and Furman. In a practice game against Kim, Kale took a couple of 6-1 sets to win his third victory. Burrell's other victory was made Friday evening when he downed McCarthy by 6-1 in the first set and 6-3 in the second. Larry Shue, an Albemarle freshman, lost in his first double when teamed with Seely on Friday. But he racked up a Saturday victory over Rios by a 6-4 and 6-1 set to end the match. Butch Wilson, who started out as manager, decided to test his skill on the court. He clipped through two sets of 7-5 and 6-1 to take a victory over Rioudez during a practice game. This closed the first and second matches when the manager won a match! The Wofford match scheduled for last Tuesday was postponed due to the rain. CATAMOUNT PITCHER GLENN IV1E fires away during the last ball game with North Georgia. Ivie is a sophomore and a vet from last year. Photo by Parish The Catamounts ended pre- conference play and met a conference opponent last week at Cullowhee with two victories. Wednesday, April 1, the Cats posted a 6-3 win in the second of a two-game series against St. Mary's of Minnesota. This 2nd straight win over St. Mary's was the sixth straight win of the season for the Cats, tuning them up to begin conference play against Appalachian Friday, April 3. In Wednesday's game, the Cats made a total of nine hits, scoring their runs in clusters of three—with three in the first and three in the third. Scot^ Smith led the Cats with 3 hits in 4 tries. Ron Young added 2 hits in 4 tries for the winner's cause. Western opened conference play with a 4-3 victory over Appalachian Friday, April 3. With the Cats leading 3-2 in the sixth inning, Earl Crotts doubled to left field and came home when left fielder Al Smith let the ball get away. Appalach- ion came back for a run in the 8th, but Cat ace Rod Rogers took the mound with two away to preserve the Western Carolina victory. Play began with Western taking a 1-0 lead in the first inning. There was a lot of action in the third inning when Phillips gave the Mountaineers a 2-1 lead by slugging a two- run blast for the Cats in the bottom of this inning, regaining the lead for the final victors. This game was a mixture of bobbles and errors on the part of both teams, with the Cats coming through with the least amount of major mistakes. Danny Jones, freshman shortstop for the victorious Cats, did some fine field work in Friday's game. He had one unassisted put-out, took part in two double plays, and jumped several feet to snag a screaming liner in the web of his glove. This was Glenn Ivie's 3rd victory for the Cats. Logan replaced Ivie in the 7th, and was replaced by Rodgers in the 8th. Scotty Smith, who led the Cats in the hitting department a- gainst St. Mary's Wednesday, led the Cats again with 2 for 3. The second game with Appalachian, scheduled for Saturday, April 4, was called off due to rain. This boosts the Cats to a seven-game winning streak with no defeats. Elon will invade our campus today and tomorrow for a two-game stand. Student support has been terrific so far, and, if the Cats remain hot, this may be Western's year for baseball. Continued team enthusiasm can only take place with continued student support. Rod Rogers Injures Arm Rod Rogers, one of the Western Carolina Catamount pitchers, has been suffering from an injured arm. The injury may cause Rogers to miss a great deal of action in the future. He does not know exactly what the trouble is, and says if it does not improve soon, he is going to see a chiropractor by the week end. So far, the trainer has been giving Rogers daily whirlpool treatments for the problem. The injury was inflicted upon him during the St. Mary's game. Rogers believes the basis of the problem is due to pitching on a cold day. Still it pains him when he attempts to throw the ball. He discovered he could not pitch without his arm causing some trouble during an attempt to do so during the Appalachian game. Rogers has had quite a bit of bad luck this year. He also got knocked out in the ninth inning during the WCC vs North Georgia game. He was covering home plate since a ball had slipped past the catcher. Attempting to watch the homecoming runner and the catcher throwing the ball, he misjudged the throw and caught it in the ear. The 180-pound senior has much to recommend himself as a great ballplayer. He pitched a 5-0 season for the Catamounts and was chosen All District last year. Before the start of the season, basketball coach Jim Gudger said Rogers would be the best pitcher of this season. And up to the ASTC game, Rogers had walked only one man. Although pitchers are usually holders of low batting averages, Rogers has held a nice one. He was pushing .500 after the Appalachian game and picked up three hits against North Georgia. Western Carolina has had a brilliant season so far this year. But the temporary loss of Rogers may be a bit fatal to the Cats.
