  • Thursday, May 28, 1970 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 11 Currie speaks at athletic banquet Athletes participating in winter and spring sports at WCU were honored last Thursday in the Grandroom of the University Center at the First Annual Spring Awards Banquet, Bill Currie, one of the most well-known sportscastersinthe Southeast, was the guest speaker. The 250 coaches, athletes, members of the press and other guests were treated to a humorous, but inspiring, talk in which "The Mouth of the South" em phasized the discipline and dedication among the nation's athletes which contrasts with other groups in society today. He said the world "is mean as heck out there" when a student graduates and the training an ath lete receives by following the team rules and regulations is invaluable. Currie was complimentary about WCU's "improving program," saying he's looking forward to comeing back next year when the Cats are expected to have several outstanding teams. Each coach presented the awards to his team members, remarked about this year's results, and introduced his wife, who—in each ease—contributed much to the program here. The most valuable team member in track went to John McGowan, a hurdler and 440 yard dash runner whose time of 55.6 is a WCU school record. The most valuable field member was Tommy Jordan, pole vaulter 04 feet, 4 inches), and high jumper (6 feet, 6 inches), Roger Jones, the team's leading scorer, was the most valuable field team member. In baseball, the Outstanding Senior is catcher Steve Barkley; the Outstanding Rookie, Bruce West, who led the clubinhitting at .375. The most valuable player was oaltielder Ron Wall, the club's ALL-DISTRICT selection. Ed Thompson received the coaches' award, Golfs MVP was Bruce Stewart, The golf team was 4-8, beating UNC-A twice, In tennis, freshman Craig Linton was MVP, John Gilbert received the award for Most Improved. Frank Miller of Salisbury received the MVP award in wrestling. Coach B;>b Setzer gave the awards for Most Improved to Doug Barrier and Sportsmanship to Ron Cobble- dick, who also playes linebacker on the football team. In basketball, Gene McCon- neU won it all—most valuable, best rebounder, and high scorer. Paul Litz got verbal recognition for most improved when he received his letter. In basketball, there were 10 letters received; in wrestling, 11; track, 16; basaball, 18; tennis, 8; and golf, 6. It was quite indicative of next year's prospects that many of the a- wards and letters were given to freshmen. Basketball review Last year's basketball team 'iad a 13-18 record, not the best in the world. But the experience gained shojld lead to a big winner next year, according to Coach Jim Hartbarger. In 75 per cent of the games last year, every player got to play. "We didn't write off the season because of youth and Inexperience," said the coach. "We felt that every player had to be given a chance to play under game conditions. I have a Knowledge, a better insight, into each of the players' ability now." Next year fans will see the best three gaards, the best three forwards and the two centers who"compliment each other's ability." Hartbarger feels that the team must have at least eight effective and dependable players to be consistently strong over a whole season. But in contrast to last year, the Cats will go with a starting five most of the way in most games until either foul trouble or Injury requires a new man. With last year's experience in younger players and the red- shirts now eligible, the team should improve, And they will get their chance against top competition, such as Guilford, who went to Kansas City and is losing no one to graduation. WCU was leading by one with five minutes to go last season before losing by nine. The Cats had two new District Six opponents — Allen University and South Carolina State. They will also play perrenial small- college NCAA power East Kentucky. Other strong teams on schedule are Elon, LR, and UNC-A. "I was very pleased with spring practice," Coach Hartbarger said. "At this time, Joe Wolfe and Paul Litz, along with Larry Grant, look most improved." Mike Manis, Rick Campbell, and Mike Stump are the three top forwards at this writing. The guards are Tommy Roach, Wilson Scott, Howard Winston, and Larry Grant; the centers are Joe Wolfe and Paul Litz. "Eddie Taylor of Cullowhee will also ma'se his presence known." "We plan to use a fast break with a pressure defense," said Hartbarger. "Ojr inside strength will complement our outside shooting and it will be a joy to get a second shot at the basket. We want to play the type of basketball that wiU be exciting for students to watch," Jim explained. WCU will have a bona fide freshman team next year. The Kitties will play Clemson and Furman frosh. "I am very pleased with our recruiting and feel that we have the potential in these boys to have a big winner for WCU," said Hartbarger. "We hope next winter will not be as cold as last winter," he said. Marshburn elected soccer captain next year BILL CURRIE, THE MOUTH OF THE SOUTH, spoke at the Western Carolina Annual Athletic Banquet Thursday night before a large crowd of athletes, coaches, reporters, and other guests. After a somewhat dynamic speech the awards were presented to members of all varsity sports. Senior fullback Ken Marsh- burn of Maple Hill, N.C, and junior left inside Harry Foley of .Savannah, Ga., will captain WCU's improved soccer team next fall, "We should be stronger, and have more scoring ability, but our defense still needs improvement," says soccer coach Dr. Charles Schrader. A key to a successful season will be finding a replacement for goalie Dave Sach, Schrader says, WCU will have 15 returning lettermen next season, and the squad was much improved in spring workouts. Last season, WCU posted a 1-6 1 record in its first season of varsity competition, win" nine the last game of the season over Voorhees by a 6-4 score. The team will play five home matches next season. New opponents will include Furman' and UNC-Asheville.
