  • Page 10 The Western Carolinian Friday, February 5, 1965 From The Sidelines by JOHN REID Sports Editor As the 1964-65 basketball season enters its last two weeks, Western Carolina's Catamounts face perhaps the toughest part of its schedule. Following two losses last weekend to Pfeiffer College and Atlantic Christian College, the Cats played host to Lenoir Rhyne on Wednesday in an important game to the Bears. The Hickory school is still very much in the running for the regular season top spot in the Carolinas Conference. Tomorrow night the Cats travel to Elon. The Christians were pre-season picks to be a contender in the conference this season, but have not lived up to the role. Nevertheless, with Jesse Branson leading the attack, they have one of the strongest squads in the league and could be ready to make a move by the time the championship tournament rolls around. The Elon game will have an interesting sidelight in that the two top scorers in the conference will meet head-on. Branson and Western's Henry Logan are virtually tied for the lead, and if a scoring duel emerges tomorrow night, it will to the delight of the fans. Next Wednesday the Catamounts will host High Point College. The Panthers defeated Western at High Point earlier this season, 93-75, as Logan had one of the best nights of his short career by scoring 39 points. The Cats trailed by only two points, 46-48, at half-time. Last year's home game with the Panthers was canceled due to the death of Dean A. K. Hinds. High Point went on to win the District 26 title and advance to Kansas City to the NAIA national championship tournament. Next Saturday the Guilford Quakers invade Reid Gymnasium for their only scheduled contest of the season with the Cats. Guilford possesses the second best overall record in the conference with a 13-3 mark and are 5-2 in league play, good enough for fourth place in the standings. Under Coach Jerry Steele, in his third year since graduating from Wake Forest, the Quakers have surprised many people with their performance so far, and will certainly be a tough match for the Catamounts. On Wednesday, February 17, the Cats travel to Appalachian to meet the Mountaineers, conquerors of High Point and Lenoir Rhyne. The Apps will be seeking revenge for an earlier loss to the Cats at Cullowhee, and the Mountaineer fans will be up for the occasion as well. (See this column next week.) The final game on the Cats' schedule preceding the tournament is Elon here on February 20, which could be the deciding game in determining the conference scoring leader. Road Games Disastrous Cats Lose To Pfeiffer, ACC; High Point Here Wednesday Prime Football Prospect Signs Grant-ln-Aid (Reprinted from the Asheville Citizen.) Western Carolina College has plucked another prize footballer from WNC high school ranks for its 1965 team. Coach Dan Robinson revealed over the week end that Mike Henderson, 220-pound Lee Edward's tackle, had signed an athletic grant-in- aid to attend WCC. In making the announcement Robinson revealed that he considered Henderson, who improved with every game played by the Maroons last fall, to be one of the finest tackles in the state and added that he expects the youngster to be a valuable addition to his team, particularly on offense. "Henderson is extremely fast for a big man and is a keen blocker. He also has great defensive potential and we are exceedingly pleased that he is going to Join us," Robinson explained. Bill England, coach of Henderson in his final two years at Lee Edwards, pointed out that the youth was one of the most improved on the team during the last half of the season. "He has great desire, hustles constantly and is still advancing toward his peak." Henderson indicated that he was very happy to get the opportunity to go to college and added that he was looking forward to playing football for Robinson and WCC. Western Carolina's Catamounts met disaster on the road last weekend, dropping games on Friday night to Pfeiffer College at Misenheimer and on Saturday night to Atlantic Christian College at Wilson, N. C. The Cats played Lenoir Rhyne College on Wednesday. Tomorrow night Western travels to Burlington to play Elon College. Bulldogs might try to slow the action from the fast pace of their first game with the Catamounts on January 9 in which the Cats set a school record of total points in winning 120-91. Evidently that was the case, as the score was below the averages of both teams. In fact ACC and WCC are the two top- scoring teams in the Carolina Conference.

Welcome, Students — to — THE COLLEGE SHOP AH Your College Needs The Catamounts led Pfeiffer at halftime by 35-33, but the Falcons came roaring back after intermission to score eight straight points and were never headed again. Henry Lo. gan scored 28 poitns for Western, his average, to lead all scorers, but he was the only player to hit double figures for the Cats. Five others hit four or more points. Logan fouled out with 2:19 left in the game, following J. B. Kiser to the bench via the foul route. The final score was 69-58. Danny Carver scored 21 points for Pfeiffer, followed by guards Johnny Miller with 17 and Larry Lentz with 11. Logan was charged with a technical foul in the second half, as was also Coach Jim Gudger. The officiating was "loose." Several times players on both teams went sprawling across the floor with no whistle being blown. The victory was the fourth straight for Pfeiffer on its home court, including one over Appalachian after the Mountaineers had been beaten by Western Carolina. Catamount fans left the game with feelings of despair over the defeat of the Catamounts, but with feelings of thankfulness for the facilities of Reid Gymnasium. The Pfeiffer gym, with stands on only one side of the building, suitable for seating 900 spectators comfortably, but the attendance was listed as 1200. Fans sat in the aisles and on the side of the court. Again at Atlantic Christian the Cats led at half-time, this time by 10 points at 43-33. But again they were cold at the start of the second half, and the Bulldogs took advantage to whittle away at the lead. With four players fouling out of the game in the second half for the Cats, ACC was able to finally take the lead for good in the closing minutes and hang on for the 75-73 victory. Logan, Kiser, Charlie McConnell, and John Brintnall fouled out while Jones of Atlantic Christian also fouled out. Logan scored 23 points, McConnell 14, and Brintnall 11. Nick Serba led all scorers with 27 points for the Bulldogs, followed by Alton Hill with 14 and Bill Tice with 12. It had been surmised that the Logan's total of 51 points in the two games lowered his league-leading average somewhat. On the other hand, Elon's Jesse Branson, who went into last weekend with a 27-point average, scored 36 points a- gainst Catawba last Saturday and 33 points against Atlantic Christian on Monday. Official figures should show that the two are just about even going into tomorrow's head-on clash at Elon College. Branson is also the top rebounder in the conference. * The Christians will take a 5-4 conference mark into tomorrow's game, while Western is 7-4 not including Wednesday's game with Lenoir Rhyne. Overall the Cats are 11-8 and Elon is 9-7, not including Wednesday's game at Frederick. This Wednesday the league- leading High Point College Panthers invade Reid Gymnasium to meet the Catamounts. Having been nationally-ranked all season. High Point has lost two conference games — to Appalachian and last Saturday to Lenoir Rhyne in overtime at Hickory, 82-77. Overall the Panthers are 16-2. High Point's main advantage is the experience of its starters. Four of the five are seniors while the other starting position has been shared by Steve Tatgenhorst, a 6-5 freshman, and Bill Green, a 6-9 junior. Composing the core of the team are guards Barry Smith, 6-2, and Joe Forte, 5-9, forward Kirk Stewart, 6-5, and center Dale Neel, 6-9 &. These players saw action in last year's NAIA national tournament in Kansas City, in which the Panthers reached the quarter-finals. ft School Supplies ft Sandwiches — Next to Joyner — STANDINGS All Conf.
