  • page 6 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday Jan. 18, 1973 Henry Logan Is Athletic Director At Davis Community Center [ (Reprinted ftom the Asfcevi' citizen, Kditor's note.) Former A11-American Henry Logan is alive and doing well. He will become director of the Hamilton Community Center in Memphis, Tenn,, next month. Logan and his wife, Joan (they were married Dec, 9) visited the home of his mother and stepfather, Mr, and Mrs, Leroy Hall of 133 Washington Road, during the Christmas holidays. The four-time Ail-American at Western Carolina University and a former member of the Virginia Squires of the American Basketball Association, said he enjoys his present job as athletic director at the Davis Community Center in Memphis, where he coaches three teams of youngsters from low-income families. "I love those kids," said Logan, "and I think they love me. For Christmas, they got together and bought me a sweater." He said his relations with youngsters at the center, about 300 in all, goes beyond the athletic program, "Sometimes, I bring a group of them home for dinner and try to provide them with financial assistance when needed," the Stephens" Lee High Uraduate said. Although Logan is highly devoted to his work with un- der-priviledged children, basketball still looms as an important factor in his life. In his spare time, he plays guard with the Memphis Plough's, a semiprofessional basketball team on which he a erages about 44 points a game, Logan said the team, a member of the Amateur Athletic Union, travels throughout Tenn essee playing other teams in a league during basketball season. The 27-year-old Asheville native said his knee, which forced him into early retirement from pro basketball, is holding up fine, mostly because the brand of ball played in semi-pro is not as physical as in the pros. Since joining the tern, Logan has won numerous trophies and honors and was named Player of the 'Year for 1971-72. Mrs, Logan said their home looks like the "Basketball Hall of Fame." Logan's brilliant career ended in 1971 when he underwent a sixth operation on his knee and some speculated that he would never walk probably again, or he would require the use of a cane. Doctors ruled out all possibilities of his ever playing basketball again. After a stay in a Virginia hospital, Logan was apparently saddened over the abrupt end to his career and worried about his physical condition. He returned to Asheville but said he found himself "really going down," As fate would have it, tier- aid McKinney, Commissioner of recreation in Memphis and an old friend of Logan, offered him a job with the Recreation Department. Logan accepted and a renewed spirit entered his life, "I owe him a lot," Logan said of McKinney, "He helped me a great deal. I also met a lovely woman (his wife) who contributed a lot towards getting me back into reality," A long-time fan of Logan, his mother, Mrs, Carrie B, Hall, said, "Iknew he could do it, , , I never lost faith in Henry." At present Logan is faced with the decision of trying out for the Memphis Tarns of the ABA (officials of the team have been discussing a contract with him) and risking a re-injury of his knee which could cause his leg to be amputated, or striving for a more secure future in the recreation program in Memphis. "I want to go out there and prove a point , , .that I can play professional basketball again, if just for one game," said Logan, "I really miss playing," On New Stadium & Fieldhouse Low Bids Have Raised Price Apparent low bids on the four contracts to build a new football stadium and fieldhouse at Western Carolina University have pushed the costs above the Si,655,000 authorized by the legislature, and university officials are studying ways to reduce construction costs on the project according to an administration spokesman, The stadium complex will be located to the south of the central campus at the intersection of Speedwell and Forest Hills roads. The project includes an artificial turf playing field, a two-story fieldhouse, and initially 10,000 seats and a press box. The stadium is designed more seats should the need arise. Architect for the project is Charles M: Crier and Associates, Inc., of Charlotte. A campaign to raise money for the stadium has been led by E,J, Whitmire of Franklin, a former member of the WCU Board of Trustees, A total of •Sl93,518,9l has been raised from public subscriptions, donations, contributions, and pledges to the drive. In addition, the university has approved the transfer of $125,000 from University Center surplus funds, and Sill,501 from the former university development fee and athletics fa- cilities fee. The Advisory Budget Commission quthorized a loan of up to S275.000 from university food service funds, to be repaid over a five-year period from contributions. It is anticipated that only about S90.000 of the quthorized loan will be required. An earlier application to do this was turned down by the Advisory Budget Commission in October. Bids for all contracts were opened during December, Apparent low bidders included Bryant Electric Corp. of Brevard for the electrical contract, C.J.Kern of Greensboro for general contracting, R. and W0 Inc. of Asheville for heating and ventilating, and Osborne Plumbing and Heating of Brevard for plumbing. Part of the high cost of the stadium is due to the fact that astro-turf is to be installed, Bob Water,s Athletic Director said in the Dec, 8th Board of Trustee meeting that although the initial cost for astro-turf is high, the overall cost for maintenance would be less expensive. Expected life of the asto- turf is twenty years, WCU Wrestling Team To Host Campbell College Saturday, Jan. 20 The Western Carolina University wrestling team will try to even its season record Saturday afternoon when the grapplers host Campbell College in a 2:00 pm match. WCU, off to its usual slow start, shows a 1-2-1 record following a triangular match in Salisbury last Wednesday, In that meet, the Catamounts lost to East Stroudsburg (Pa,)State, a national power, 28-11, and were tied by host Catawba College, 24-24, on a controversial penalty point after the final match was completed. In two previous matches, coach Bob Setzcr's squad lost to Maryville College 28-15, and routed Clemson 51-3. The 51 out of a possible B0 points was a WCU record. Senior Bo Russell, a Spencer and North Rowan High product, wrestled at 142 pounds . and pinned his opponent only 1:32 into the match. Four other Cat grapplers also recorded pins. Ft, Lauderdale native Leigh Harris turned the trick at 150 pounds, while Doug Barrier, a senior from Salisbury, easily took care of his man at the 177 pound division. Rounding out the list, Jerry Toy and David Friedland each grabbed the six points given for a pin while wrestling in the 190 and unlimited divisions, respectively. Although not pinning his opponent, senior Mike Mann won a 7-3 decision to earn three team points in the 158 pound class. The Cats gave up their only three points in the 167 division, where WCU's Dan Uerson lost a close 2-1 decision. Following the victory over Clemson, Coach Setzer emphasized the effect of the schedule on this year's record by stating, "Without a doubt this is one of our finest teams ever. The competition and powerhouses we face this year, however, more than comiiare with the schedules of anyone else a- round. Our record will improve though as the season progresses," After Saturday afternoon's match with Campbell, WCU remains at home for a rematch with Maryville College, Monday evening at 7:30 pm. ,D- PROFESSIONAL drug store ejorn ,IHT.IN, R.Ph, PHONE 3 88-3413 SYLTA.

EROM PAGE 3 classes are over, Johnson said in previous years, when payments were made at the end of the month, the last educational allowance check was received after the school year was over. By the same token, when veterans return to classes in the Fall, they will have a check in hand to help them when the money need is greatest - for tuition, books and supplies. This has been made possible under a new law signed on October 24 that not only increased the monthly training checks, but also permits the Veterans Administration to issue subsistence checks at the beginning rather than at the end of the month's training, Johnson explained. Under the new legislation (PL 92-540), VA is now allowed to issue the first subsistence checks at the beginning rather than at the end of the month's training, Johnson explained, check as soon as it receives from schools and colleges the veteran's certificate of enrollment, rather than waiting a month or more after he starts classes. Checks received in November included both-the November advance and the October payment which was due at the end of the month under the old system. They also included the new money increase under the same law, retroactive to September 1, if they were enrolled in any portion of that month, Johnson pointed out.
