  • Page 6 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday, October 27, 1966 CAROLINIAN SPORTS SECTION the 19th hole I by Bruce Loftin, Sports Editor i Tickets have gone on sale for the Tin-Off Tournament at Asheville-Biltmore College in Asheville the 25th and 26th of November. Shorter, Wilmington, and Augusta Colleges will be the participants along with the host A-B Bulldogs. Why aren't there lights for night play on the tennis courts behind Robertson dorm at least if not on the Reid courts? And why can't one play tennis before church on Sunday and even during church. There sure no rules about playing football or golf or Softball. Tennis remains a discriminated sport which is a real shame since ithas attracted such a loyal following at Western. Western finished third last year in the conference tournament at Appalachian and had a respectable record for thirteen matches, 7-6, considering they lost twice to Appalachian who gives tennis scholarships. There are few schools with teams that fared that well who still remain not giving their teams at least new string jobs and new rackets. The Western team last year received only the uniforms on their backs and one pair of tennis shoes which, by the end of the season, were worn beyond recognition. The uniforms were the first ever supplied to the team. It is a costly matter to have to supply strings for a racket for strings cost generally is in the neighborhood of seven to nine dollars for pro-feet, nine to eleven dollars for vantage nylon, and from eleven to twenty dollars for gut strings. Most of last years players used vantage nylon and went through from i three to seven string jobs. This would amount to a personal expenditure of from twenty-seven dollars at the minimum to seventy-seven dollars at the maximum. If one of the players had the misfortun to break a racket then there went in the neighborhood of twenty dollars for a new racket frame alone and another additional string job for the frame. After a short period of time the shoes were bound to wear out and the player had to purchase another pair, or maybe two, before the end of the season. Shoes usually run around seven or eight dollars. Out of the grace of somebody's heart, the team was supplied with one case of Wilson heavy duty tennis balls. This meant that if the team played all their matches with new balls, which was a necessity, then they would have to practice with used balls, some being a week old or better. Anyone who has ever played tenni s knows that there Is a great difference between new and old tennis balls. What the tennis team goes through is like asking the basketball team to practice with volleyballs. Maybe there is help on the way. The new head of the P.E. Department, Dr. Hamilton, was last years tennis coach at High Point and played tennis himself in college. One would say that the only reason this article appeared was .'he fact that I have played tennis for the past two years. This is, to a large degree, true. I am a lot poorer for having played but will probably go out again next year for I, like many others enjoy the game and will try to overcome the difficulties. As long as there is a team, and it has for two out of the three years turned out respectable records, why doesn't the athletic department support it? They have cried in the past that there is no money, which I consider a real hoot and an insult toward the intelligence of the students. Teams like Erskine and North Georgia Military Academy, and other small schools that have half the attendance that Western has at basketball and football games, supply rackets and strings for their teams and I would venture a guess that they even have somebody other than the coaches there to watch the matches.

After graduating, he stayed on and coached for five years here in the land of the Cats. East Rutherford High in Forest City then acquired Coach Setzer and became proud of him. During the last of his three seasons at East Rutherford Setzer led the team to a 10-2 record, which included winning the North and Southwestern Conferences. This was the first time in thirty seven years that East Rutherford had won the bi-conference championship. Coach Setzer is married and has four children. Mrs. Setzer graduated from WCC with a M.A. in English. Mr. Setzar has his M.A, in Industrial Arts and Education. He is an Assistant Professor in the Industrial Arts Department here at Western. Mrs. Setzer does not teach, but keeps house and cares for Nell, 8; Laura, 5; Joel, 2; and Steve, eight months. The Setzers live in a new house that was built where former PresMvnl Madison's house stood. Coach Setzer's hobbles are hunting, fishing, water skiing, and horseback riding. He has his own horses.

It is hard for a man to prove to his players that they are very important in the winning of ball games. The men he coaches do a Hell of a lot of work and receive little credit. Members of the Catamount squad cons; der him as, "GREAT AN INSPIRATION, TOUGH, AND A PUSHER." Maybe Coach Wike's middle name should be captain due to the fact that he was co-captain at Wingate Junior College for two years and co-captain of the U.S. Mtirine Corp football club. He also played football for East Carolina College for two years. Coach Wike graduated from Mt Holly high school and went into the Ma.-ine Corps. After his service obligation was over he attended Wingate Junior College for two years and then furthered his education by obtaining his B.S. degree from East Carolina.

Beale's favorite drop zones are ends Pete Jarvis and Richard Mc George. Both Jarvis and Mc- George have broken the old Elon reception record of 31. Western Carolina will continue it's air strike this Saturday also. Jim Williams was rated No. 2 in the nation last week in passing yardage. The Cats have been throwing a bombardment of passes all year and it will not let up this Saturday night. Western is playing good ball between the goal post, but they cannot make it into the end zone for the fatal strike and this is where victory is obtained. There is going to be a lot of pressure on the defensive backs for both Elon and Western.

FCA Invites All Athletes To Sunday Meetings The Western Carolina College chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes invites all varsity and retired high school athletes to their Sunday morning meetings at 10 A.M. every week. These meetings are held in the bottom of the Student Union and features group discussions and guest speakers. The F.C.A. is a non-profit, inter-denominational, and inter-racial organization which was founded in 1954 by a group of well-known athletes. The chapter here at WCC was organized last fall under the supervision of Coach Jim Gudger and Coach Bob Ray. Chuck Scott is presently serving aspnssl- 43tit for the 1966-67 F.C.A, The Fellowship of Christian Athletes relates Its purpose is to confront athletes and coaches and through them reach the youth of our nation with the adventure and challenge of following Jesus Chris.' through the work of his enured and ':hr jugh our vocations.
