  • Friday, September 18, 1964 The Western Carolinian Page 10 The Western Carolinian SPORTS SECTION Co-Captains Are Named Keeter And Seay Will Direct Spectators Standpoint By Vernon Abernethy Sports Editor As the trip to Jefferson City, Tennessee for the Catamounts moves near, Coach Robinson is pulling the fina' knots out of the line play. Much improvement in the late practices has been shown in this portion of the gridiron sport. A lack in experience seems to be the definte cause of the problem. But when the problems, or disadvantages, are weighed against the advantages, the latter tips the scale in its favor. Proof of this can be seen in the improvement of offensive guard Danny Howard who is showing much potential in that position. Howard is a 5'9" junior weighing 190 pounds from Jacksonville Beach, Florida. A compliment from head coach Dan Robinson was paid to defensive linebacker Ronnie Scott and wingback Walter Swainey stating that he was well pleas ed with the performance of these men. Scott, a sophomore from Abberville, S. C. stands 5T1" and weights in at 190. And the smaller of the three mentioned is senior Walter Swainey, a 5'10" veteran weighing 180. Although these mentioned positions seem to be held down very well, some work still remains to be done upon the tackle positions as was pointed out in last Thursday's scrimmage game. In the scrimmage one could not help but notice all the beef on the line. It is reported that an average weight should climb to approximately 21C pounds. A couple of exciting men to watch in the line will be center Jerry Adams and capable pass receivers on the end positions in Charlotte's and Hickory's Leroy Holden and Roger Cox respectively. The backfield seems to be in good shape for the coming opener. Freshman Jim Williams is supplying depth in the quarterback position and demonstrating excellent running and passing abilities. Veteran Walter Swainey, a running and passing threat, will definitely be a man to watch. Also be sure to pay some attetion to 135 pound Boyce Parks who will be filling a halfback slot. He has been looking good in practices. Action on the field should be seen from these men this season. If they can avoid injuries through the season, they should produce many breaks for Western Carolina. Baseball Team Meets For Fall Workout Western Carolina College's baseball team opened fall practice sessions yesterday under the direction of coach Ron Blackburn. The purpose of these offseason workouts is to narrow the squad to such a number so that spring practice can move into full swing when the time comes. Coach Blackburn stated that after the fall sessions, which will run from 4-6 weeks, are over, the number of boys who will be invited to return this spring will total about twenty-five. Many losses have been incurred to the team since the close of last year's season, the greatest of which is the absence of outfielders Danny Tharpe and Earl Crotts, who led the '64 Catamounts in hitting. They were claimed by Graduation. Pitching will also be a problem since one-half of last season's staff failed to return. Glenn Ivey, a junior and Blackburn veteran, will carry the brunt of the pitching load. Assisting him will be sophomores Ronnie Logan of Winston Salem, N. C, and Roddey Edwards of Gastonia, N. C. These mentioned hurlers will likely hold the key to success for the WCC team. The infield positions of second and third basees will have to be filled, also. These spots were vacated by Phil Tate and Dayle Mince, respectively. Tate is bowing to marriage and Mince did not return to school. Bill Haynes and Ronnie Young (seniors) will return to this year's outfield. The third outfield position will be open for competition. Last year the Catamounts compiled a 15-6 overall record and a 6-6 conference ledger Pfeiffer College was last spring's regular season leader, but Catawba's Indians defeated the Falcons in the playoffs to take the championship trophy.

Co-captain John Keeter is a 23-year-old senior from Stanley, North Carolina, a small town in the Charlotte area. The loss of the Charlotte area was Western Carolina's gain, and John Keeter should prove just that as the Catamounts journey to Jefferson City, Term., and play Carson-Newman College. "The game should be much tougher this year," Keeter says, and indeed it should! The Carson Newman Eagles will be out for revenge after last year's 24-0 shalacking handed them by our Catamounts. "But the spirit is higher this year among the players than it has been in the past three years, and all will do their best," Keeter continued in his easygoing manner. And perhaps there lies the secret to the high spirits of the Cats this year. Everyone is doing his best and all the players realize that this may be just what is needed for a successful Catamount season. Keeter is a Health and P.E. major and also a Biology major. He seems not only to excel on the gridiron, but in academics as well. The era of the dumb football player has passed, and John Keeter with a 3-point- plus quality point average last quarter seems to be proving this fact. John plans to teach after graduation and of course coach football. Where? Well, back in the Charlotte area. Who said "you can't go home again?" They will welcome men of John Keeter's caliber home with open arms! James (Red) Seay, the other Cat choice for co - captain, seems to be Franklin's loss, perhaps a more prominent loss. P-CN "Red" Is majoring in Social Science and Health and P.E. But he does not plan to teach in Franklin or even in North Carolina. "I'd rather teach and coach where the pay is better," Red says, "but I will have to look pretty far before I find a place where the people are any nicer." But "Red" won't have too much trouble finding friends if he stays as friendly off the field as he is mean on the field. Seay stands 5-feet, 9-inches and weighs 192 pounds. He is fast and deceptive and should be one of the finest runners in the conference. But he is as modest as he is good on the field and admits that "Ellis (Jet) Johnson should easily be the best back in the Carolina Conference." And we hope he is right. Seay and Keeter both agree that they have never seen the team's spirit as high as it is now since they entered Western their freshmen year. Neither one would venture any predictions on the outcome of Saturday's game, but both are confident—as they should be—that the Cats will win. Keeter says, and other players agree, that if all the players who were supposed to return, had returned, then the Cats would have easily been the best team in the conference this year. But with spirit as high as it is, and with the returning players and new players, the Catamounts should hold a darn good record at the end of the season. A winning season should be on hand for coach Dan Robinson this year. And two great co- captains, James Seay and John Keeter, '.ill certainly be on hand do:, g a great job leading the Cats in their '64 season.
