  • Thursday, January 9, 1969 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 7 Present Team Is frst Since 1952 Wrestling Team Holds First Match Today Western Carolina's first varsity wrestling team in modern history plays its first match Thursday night at Guilford College. "I'm optimistic about this team, we've got some real good boys and they've been working hard," says Coach Bob Setzer. "We'll have experienced wrestlers in seven weight classifications and we should be real strong in the 123-pound weight. However, we lack experience at heavy weight," Setzer says. The Western Carolina wrestling team is as follows: 123-pound—Mike Davis, a 5-foot-6, 19-year-old freshman from Kennesaw, Ga. Davis had three years of varsity wrestling experience in high school and won the Northwest Georgia title in 1966. Danny Ledbetter, a 5-foot-6, 18-year-old freshman from Iron Station will be the No. 2 man in the 123 pound class. He lacks high school experience. 130-pound—Wayne Bracket*, a 5-foot-9, 20-year-old junior from Greensboro. Bracket* wrestled for two years in junior high and for three years in high school. He ranked fifth in the state in 1966. 137-pound—Barry Hayes, a 5-foot-8, 21-year-old sophomore from Granite Falls. Hayes should be a good wrestler, with some experience, according to Setzer. Robert Carson, a 5-foot-9, 19-year-old sophomore from Davidsonville, Md., will be the No. 2 man. 145-pound—Larry Hales, a 5-foot-10, 20-year-old sophomore from Raeford, who had four years of varsity competition at Hoke County High School. Among his high school credits are a second place finish in the Eastern Championships and a first-place finish in the Wadesboro Invitational championships. Hales captained his high school team for two years. 152-pound—Steve Nelson, a 5-foot-8, 19-year-old sophomore from Madison. At Mato- dan High School, Nelson ranked fifth in the state in the 154- pound class in 1967. He was second in the district in that class in 1967 and was voted the outstanding wrestler in the District 5 tournament that year. "ITS GOT TO GO" Yes, all that "old" winter merchandise that the Varsity Shop still has on its shelves must Go, Go, GO to make way for all those "swinging" new outfits the V.S. has coming in for spring (yes believe it or not it's coming this year). Miss Linda Phillips, a freshman from Asheville, being the brave lass that she is, weathered these cold days for our cameras in a truly professional manner just to bring a little beauty to our ad (she is now trying desperately to recover from a bad case of quadrupal pnuemonia she received for her efforts). BUT BACK TO THE SALE. MEN'S: Shirts- 1/3 off; Pants-1/4 off; Sweaters- 1/4 off; (special group 1/2 off); Suits ^ Coats-1/3 or:.

Bock received honorable mention for the all-county team at Edge- mont High in Winchester, N.Y. He was captain of his high school team. 167-pound--Robert Biddix, a 5-foot-9,18-year-old freshman from Fayetteville. Biddix had two years high school wrestling experience. 177-pound—Dave Baker, a 6-foot-l, 20-year-old sophomore from Miami Beach, Fla., who wrestled for four years in high school. He boasts a third- place finish in the Southeastern A.A.U. meet No. 2 now in the class is Ronnie Keller, a 5-foot-ll, 20-year-old sophomore from Rockledge, Fla. Keller wrestled for Cocoa High in 1966. Heavy weight—Ron Cobble- dick, a 6-foot-l, 21-pound sophomore fromRegina,Saskatchewan. Cobbledick is very strong and quick, but inexperienced, Setzer says. No. 2 in the heavy weights is Robert Keever, a 5-foot-ll, 200-pound sophomore from Rutherfordton. He also is inexperienced. The WCU seven-match wrestling schedule, in addition to the Guilford match, includes: Jan. 17, Milligan College; Jan. 31, at Milligan College, Milligan College, Tenn.; Feb.l, Maryville College at Maryville. Tenn.; Feb. 12, Maryville College; Feb. 15, Campbell College; Feb. 22, CampbeU College at Bules Creek. Home wrestling matches will begin at 7:30 pm at Reid Gymnasium. WCU Freshmen Cagers Claim 2—2 Record By GARY TYLER Western Carolina University has yet another team that is too often overlooked, but worthy of praise and backing. This is the talented freshman basketball team which features several talented player sand action packed games. Coached by Les Robinson, the Kittymounts now stand at an even 2-2 mark, and are anxious for their coming games. The frosh lost to Asheville Biltmore in a thrilling game on the Cullowhee hardwood and to the Little Lions of Mars Hill, but they soundly defeated Isothermal and North Georgia Tech teams. Coach Robinson reports that individual talent has been great all year however, though hampered by academic losses. "The team hasn't really jelled as a complete, well- coordinated team yet due to holiday breaks," saidRobinson, "but they are really starting to roll now." Guards Mike Harris and Jimmy Dean are the club's quar terbacks, assisted by Wayne Carson. Forward Gary Edwards, who the coach reports Is the team's most consistent player, and other forwards Rod Snyder, Mike Haskell, and Bob Bon- hoff are also valuable to the team. Big centers Hank Brinkman and Harold Edwards are always huge assets both off ense and defensive-wise. Rounding out the team are forwards Don Yeargan and Don LaCoe , and guard John Stiver. The Kittymounts face the Appalachian freshman tonight and the King's College frosh Saturday night Both games are to be played on the Cullowhee court Winter Intramurals Begin Intramural activities reach their peak during winter quarter with three team sports and several Individual sports being offered. Presently volleyball participation is underway a- mong the three leagues, American, Fraternity, and National. Last winter quarter was a season for upsets and several surprises in Intramural sports. The Faculty team, for example, emerged as the All-Campus champs in volleyball. The volleyball program will end in a couple of weeks followed by basketball and water polo. One of the Freshman teams from Moore Dorm sur prised several people last year when they came out on top in the basketball championship play-off. And then, there is water polo, and Kappa Alpha Is still around to try for another championship. KA has dominated this sport in the past more than any other intramural activity. Chances are good that they will be e- qually as tough this year. Although they have lost one or two members of last year's team, they have most of them returning and have picked up several strong-swimming pledges.
