  • PAGE 6 The Western Carolinian Behind The Scene By Don Lucas, Sports Editor The 1966 edition of the Catamount baseball team finished second in the Carolinas Conference this season and became the first squad to make the conference tournament in several years. Coach Ron Blackburn's nine closed out the season by splitting a double-header with High Point College on Monday. This gave the Cats second seeding in the tournament and put them in strong contention for the title. Pitching seems to be a problem now. Rod Rogers, ace left-hander of the team, may miss the tournament if his arm trouble doesn't heal. That would leave the Cats with only Roddey Edwards and Glenn Ivie to take the starting rotation. Jim Bullins and Tim Newsome are still holding down the relief chores. As a team, the hitting has fallen considerably since the early part of the season. With only three hitters over the .300 mark, the Cats overall team batting average has fallen to an uncomfortable .257. Hitting and pitching will both have to come around in order for the Cats to win the tournament. Injuries have taken their toll with Rogers suffering from a bad arm and Bob Hicks suffering from a split finger. These two could provide added strength to the Cats line-up if they were healthy. The tournament is going to be held at Finch Field in Thomasville and will begin Thursday, May 12. Here is a rundown on how the double-elimination schedule will be set up: THURSDAY, MAY 12 Game No. 1—Western Carolina (14-4) vs. Pfeiffer (13- 5) at 4:00 p.m. Game No. 2—Guilford (13-2) vs. High Point (13-7) at 6:00 p.m. Game No. 3—Losers of Games 1 and 2 play at 8:30 p.m. FRIDAY, MAY 13 Game No. 4—Winners of Games 1 and 2 play at 6:30 p.m. Game No. 5—Winner of Game 3 and Loser of Game 4 play at 8:30 p.m. SATURDAY, MAY 14 Game No. 6—Winners of Games 4 and 5 play at 7:00 p.m. Game No. 7—If necessary, same teams in Game 6 play at 9:00 p.m. The Catamounts finished second behind Guilford in regular season standings, but the Quakers played fewer games than did the Cats. Western ended the '66 campaign with a 14-4 conference slate while Guilford concluded with a 13-2 mark. Guilford played single games with Pfeiffer and High Point while the Cats met these two teams in doubleheaders. Also, the Quakers did not play the Catamounts. Of course, it still counts when you beat those real "tough" teams like Presbyterian and Newberry three times a season but don't play any tournament contenders. Guilford has a pretty good setup, wouldn't you say? Friday, May 13, 1966 Cats Fall To Wofford WE THANK YOU! FOR YOUR PATRONAGE DURING THE PAST SCHOOL YEAR AND HOPE THAT YOU WILL DROP BY THIS SUMMER SCHOOL. IF NOT WE WILL SEE YOU THIS SEPTEMBER. Schulman's of Sylva "We're 100% For W.C.C." Drag Racing Has Entries From WCC By Lamar Buchanan Sunday afternoon was a great day for drag racing and Smoky Mountain Dragstrip did its share to keep the sport a- live. One of the fastest cars at the strip was a black '55 Chevy stationwagon. All over the country drag men are leaving the stock classes and going to gas, modified production, and "funny cars." This '55 Chevy runs in C/gas and is owned by Hyder and driven by Car- michael of Hendersonville, North Carolina. A 327 injected Corvette mill pulled this black wagon to 91 miles an hour in the V% mile strip. The elapse time was 8.2 seconds. The gas cars dominated the competition Sunday. This was due to the fact that there were few stock or modified production cars present. Some of the stock classes had only one car entered. This called for a solo- trophy run. The ruling is, the fastest car in a class gets a trophy. If there is only one car in a class, it makes a run and takes a trophy. This is an easy way to get a trophy, but one never knows how many cars will be in his class. There were plenty of cars running Sunday. Stock classes ranged from B/Stock G.T.O.'s and Chevelles down to O/Stock foreign cars. Altered and modified production classes were also represented. The most entries were in the gas classes. Some of the students representing WCC at Smoky Mountain this year have been: Charles Henson in a fast B/ stock '65 GTO; Claude Ross, driging his H/stock 64 Valiant; Bill Forsythe ran his '65 GTO in Pure Stoock. John Hailey competed in his '65 G/Stock Mustang. Harold Davis has also run his '66 Mustang. This coming Sunday will be the last chance for many students to go to the local drags before the academic year ends. Sloppy Fielding, Poor Hitting Lead To Western's 10-3 Loss Wofford handed the Catamounts their third straight loss, 10-3, in Spartanburg last Saturday afternoon. Sloppy fielding and inability to mount a big rally paved the way for Western Carolina's worst beating of the season. The Cats committed six errors which opened the door for six runs and left eight runners stranded. Regulars Bob Maska, Cecil Caldwell and starting pitcher Rod Rogers did not make the trip, thus contributing to the bad show. Joe Fraser sent the second pitch of the game over the left field fence to give the Catamounts a short lived 1-0 lead. Freshman Tim Newsom, starting his first game, put the Terriers down in the first without any trouble. However, Wofford erupted for four runs in the second frame and that was all they needed. The Terriers rallied for three more in the third before Glenn Ivie came in to put out the fire. Ivie, now the Cats ace righthander, pitched four superb innnings as he gave up only one single and struck out eight. The Cats came alive in the seventh, but it was too little- too late. An error, Jim Kim- brell's single, a walk, wild pitch, and Ivie's sacrifice fly sent across two runs. Wofford added three more in the last two innings off Roddey Edwards to complete the rout. Bobby Hicks, Western's sophomore catcher, suffered a split finger in the fifth inning and was out of action for the High Point doubleheader. Lefthander Ted Phelps was the winning pitcher as he scattered six Cat hits and had two of Woffords ten hits in leading the Terriers to their thirteenth win.
