  • Page 10 ifie Western Carolinian Friday, May 6, 1966 New Basketball Schedule Features Many Changes Western Carolina's 1966-67 Basketball schedule shows several changes from last season. Coach Jim Gudger's dribbling Catamounts will play a 27 game schedule next winter which includes 20 games inside the tough Carolinas Conference. The Cat Cagers will open the season almost two weeks later than usual when they entertain Presbyterian College in Reid Gymnasium on December 5. Traditional opener Piedmont College has been dropped along with participation in a pair of holiday tournaments — the Gate City Classic and The Spindale Rotary Invitational. The Catamounts have added Presbyterian and Newberry of the Carolinas Conference and will participate in the Quincy Classic at Quincy, Illinois for the first time. The Quincy Tournament, Dec. 27-28-29, will have a field of eight top small college teams. The Catamounts will face the likes of Oklahoma Baptist, defending NAIA Champion; Morris Harvey of West Virginia, Upper Iowa, and Pan American — all participants in the NAIA Tournament this past March. The Western Carolina Holiday Tournament will be held again at T. C. Roberson High in Skyland. This years tourna ment, Dec. 9-10-11, will have its strongest field in history with Georgetown College, Indiana Tech, and Wofford College joining the Catamounts for three nights of round-robin Play.

Conference Race Tight As Guilford Takes Lead Kappa Alpha, Reynolds Team Win Intramural League Titles Kappa Alpha and 1st and 2nd Reynolds North advanced to the All-Campus playoffs of the Men's Intramural Softball competition by winning their respective league championships last Tuesday, May 3. KA defeated Madison, 10-4, for the American League title, and Reynolds downed the Day Students, 9-8, to capture the National league crown. Intramural action had been halted for almost a week by rain and wet playing field, but play resumed Monday, May 2. In the first game, Tau Kappa Epsilon edged Alpha Phi Omega, 8-6, in a losers' bracket contest which knocked APO out of competition. The lead changed hands six times in the see-saw battle until pitcher Gene Hansen's two-run homer in the fifth broke a 6-6 tie and gave TKE the victory. In the second game of the afternoon, 1st and 2nd Robertson eliminated the Dillard House by a score of 10-6. Robertson scored seven runs in the fifth to account for all their runs. The Dillard House also bunched its scoring into two runs, with four in the third and two in the sixth. The winners were outhit in the game, 10-11. In a game of April 25, Alpha Phi Omega had earned the right to meet TKE by trouncing 3rd Robertson in five innings, 15-5. Pittman, Flynn, and Frickhoffer homered for APO, while Fogleman and Clippard hit roundtrippers for Robertson, who played with only eight players to avoid forfeiting. In the America League championship game, Kappa Alpha outhit Madison 15-4, led by Don Lucas and Scott Dillard with home runs. John Reid also had three hits. Mike Campbell's homer in the first drove in Beach and Hondros, who had walked and doubled after two were out for the first Madison runs. In the fourth, Campbell reached base on an error and scored the final Madison run on a double by Carter. KA scored three in the second and fifth, and two in the fourth and seventh. The Day Students led 6-0 after two innings in the game for the National League championship, but Reynolds came back with three in the third and three in the fifth to tie the score. The Day Students went out in front in the top of the sixth on a triple by Younts and a single by Wilson, but Reynolds tied it in their half on a single by Cobb and Hice's double. The Day students again took the lead in the seventh on Coy Bost's home run, but Reynolds won the game with a triple by Turner, a double by Berry, and Gus Henry's single. Harold Stephens had a homer for the losers, and Wilson homered for Reynolds. C0DGILL MOTOR CO. Sylva, N. C.

By Steve White With only three days left (at CAROLINIAN press deadline) in the torrid Carolinas Conference baseball race, no team has yet to cinch a spot in the upcoming conference tournament. The Carolinas Conference Baseball Tournament will be held in Thomasville next week, May 12-13-14. The tourney to decide the Conference representative to the NAIA District 26 playoffs will involve the leagues top four finishers in the regular season race. Guilford has taken the league lead with a 10-2 mark. Western Carolina is close behind with a 13-3 mark. However, even the Catamounts and Quakers face the possibility of finishing out of the select four. Coach Ron Blackburn's Cats have a non-conference game left — in Spartanburg tomorrow against Wofford's Terriers and probably a pair of conference make up games with High Point. Should these have to be played, the Cats could possibly eliminate themselves by blowing a pair to the Panthers. Six teams are currently battling it out for the playoff spots. They are WCC, Guilford, High Point, Lenoir-Rhyne, Pfeiffer and Atlantic Christian. Guilford (10-2) has single games with Pfeiffer and Catawba and a doubleheader with Newberry. High Point (11-4) has games left with Lenoir-Rhyne, Presbyterian and Western Carolina (2). Lenoir Rhyne (10-4) has to play High Point and a pair with Appalachian. Pfeiffer (13-4) has Guilford left and ACC (4-5) must play Elon, Newberry (2) and Appalachian (2). The CC race, hottest since the playoffs started five years ago, could boil down to percentage points. The cry from a couple of coaches will then be — "Oh! How those base on balls and errors hurt!"
