Slated to begin their first playoff game at noon today, the Catamounts were to Pice top-seeded Newberry.

The Indians are expected to start righthander John Brown, who has a 7-1 season record, against the Cats. The other likely candidate to face Western today is lefthander Jimmy Conrad who had a 5-2 record. At the plate, Newberry is led by All-American Johnny- Harbin who hit over ,400 last season in route to the honors. This year Harbin is off his 1971 pace but still has a strong ,320 batting average. Harbin had two of Newberry s three hits in the entire tour- Uon Bright Halo Fox ney last season— both were homers. Currently outhitting Harbin is the Indiam's second baseman Al Lewis.
