  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY MARCH 7, 1974 PAGE 7 Baseball Facilities Get Facelift by Hank Komodowski Baseball facilities at Western Carolina University are getting a facelifting this spring, thanks to the efforts of baseball alumni, friends of the team, and other backers of Catamount baseball. The aid is coming in the form of a fence around the baseball field which is located off Speedwell Road. According to Bill Haywood, former major league pitcher with the Washington Senators and now head baseball coach at WCU, "Western's field needs quite a few things at the present, but after five years of chicken wire fencing this will be a nice addition." How the fence came into reality is actually a separate story. Kast spring Coach Haywood called upon the efforts of friend and local realtor Clyde Andrews, and between the two men donations were sought from businesses and interested people in the Sylva area. Step two was the contributions of the actual players and their families who added to the fund. Then, when Haywood ca'led on his baseball alumni to chip in what they could, the results were very impressive. Checks trickled in, with some contributions even coming from teachers or coaches who would mail in S10 a month or whenever they got their pay checks. Over one thousand dollars from the alumni and the money still comes in. The fence itself, which is being put up by workers from the WCU steam plant, cost S1800 and will enclose the entire park. Haywood Field named for the current coach, was constructed five years ago by Coach Hay wood and members of the 1969 Catamount baseball team. Coach Haywood is also helping with Ihe supervision of the fence construction. The fence is also expected to keep off motorcyclists and bikers who, despite the moun~ tain roads and trails abundant in the area, recently have seemed to take delight in etching impressions into the baseball field. Commenting on the combined effort involved in getting the fence, Haywood remarked, "It's someth ing we needed, but couldn't get any other way for baseball, Now, it's also paid for, and we're putting the extra money into the bank for future projects. "For example, with the fence now installed, we'll be needing a warning track running inside of it. The field is also in bad shape and needs a lot of repair, especially with all the water that tends to collect on it." As Coach Haywood summed up the baseball situation at Western, "We're now playing teams on our schedule like North Carolina, N.C, State, Duke, Clemson, South Carolina, and Georgia Tech, With a major college line up, it's only fair to give them a quality- place to play." No Rest In Sight For Baseball Team Jerry Gaines, Western Carolina University's nationally known triple and long jumper, is shown working on his steps in preparation for the coming track and field season. Coach Jones: Track Team Is Hopeful by Hank Western Carolina University's head track coach Paul Jones becomes quite sure of himself as he says it, but he will not press the issue too far. "It's true," he says, "We do have a good team this year, perhaps even a better team than last year. For sure we're stronger in more events. Only one big BUT, and that's our depth. It may get shaky behind our top one or two entrees in each event." Still in all, the consensus of Opinion about the 1974 edition of the WCU track team is hopeful. One individual returning this year for his senior season is nationally recognized long and triple jumper Jerry Gaines. The Catamounts all-time point winner will be trying to improve on record jumps which already read over 25' and 51' respectively in the long and triple jump. "The thing about Gaines," continues Jones, "is that he's just too good a man to not run as well as jump. He'll be part of the 440-yard relay team again this year." Combining with Gaines on that foursome will be LeVon Wilson, Randy Layman, and Jerry Siler, Those three will also be the mainstay of the sprinter corps, handling the 100 and 220- yard dashes. "Our distance people have been doing a fine job, too," said Jones. "Randy Helderman had a fantastic indoor season, and Joe Richi and Rick Gehle are running better than their freshman status indicates. "Mike Prozialeck and Buddy Paterson should be coming into their own in the middle distances," he added. One place where depth will not be a problem for the Cats is in the javelin and hurdle events. Both Joe Tripp and Jon Wiggins are keeping the com- Komodowski petition intense in the javelin and should do so throughout the season, much to the delight of Coach Jones. As for the hurdles there should be a good crowd on hand all year to watch Skip Wat- kins, Mike Flowe, freshman Don Greene, and Mr, Everywhere, John Arnold, Besides the hurdles, Arnold will also be entered in the 440 and 880-yard runs, The pole vaulting chores will fall to Flowe, CraigGoodspeed, Tony Aloisio, and Maynard Pierce. Chandler Muse will be handling the assignment inwhat Coach Jones calls "theonly disappointment of the indoor season", the high jump, Freshmen on the team include Stuart Milton, Levy Lennon, and Lynn Short in the dashes and short runs, along with shot putter Dennis Ashe, who already has a 44' put to his credit during the indoor season. One tough feature for the Western team will be the number of good, make that more than good, teams that fill this year's schedule. Meets with Georgia, Furman, and N.C, State'don't help, Then there are the Western Carolina Relays which includes 10-12 teams and ranks as probably the best small college relays in the South. Three goals are the aim of Coach Jones this year: "First of all," remarked Jones, "We want to do as well as possible in the dual meets. Second, get some good times and distances in the relays. Finally, qualify as many as we can for the NCAA nationals." Obviously there is a chance that Jones may be thinking of Gaines or the record-setting WCU relay teams. But Jones continued, "Like I said, no predictions or boasts. Anything we do I want to have' it come as a surprise." While the majority of Western Carolina University's student body is enjoying the break between w inter and spring quarters, the WCl baseball team will be in the midst of a nine- game season opening road trip. The Catamounts will open their season next Wednesday, March 13, at Clemson University and then return to WCU to finish winter quarter exams before heading south for eight games in a nine day period. On that trip, the Cats will face lXike, North Carolina, The Citadel, Erskine, Baptist,South Carolina Suite and Appalachian Stale, The first home game of the season will be March 25 a- gainst Western Maryland at Haywood Field, south of the new football stadium. WCU will play a 32-game schedule this spring and 22 of those games will be against NCAA major university teams. After suffering through a wet February, Coach Bill Haywood has been blessed with good baseball weather during the past week and used every possible minute of it to put the final touches on his sixth edition. Haywood will open the season with regulars returning at every position except for one spot in both the infield and outfield. Also, six experienced pitchers return from last year's weather-plagued club that turned in a 11-9 record. Ace righthander Din Bright recently signed a pro contract, but Haywood still has an im- Gymnastics Team Shows Good Promise by Jeanie Pack The WCU boys' gymnastics team closed their season with a 3-2 record, F'ven though the competitive season has ended- continuous practice and workouts will continue throughout spring quarter. IXiring this time each individual spends most of his time learning new skills for the following season. This years season for the boys shows more promising advancements for the future, The team grabbed victories over the Citadel, Gardner- Webb, and Middle Tennessee, while losing to Appalachian State and Middle Tennessee. The WCU girls team is traveling to Appalachian State University this Saturday to defend their title as state champions. Again this year they have been undefeated. After the state meet the team may have the chance to compete March 23rd in the Regional meet. The girls team also will strive to improve their skill and ability next quarter, The team totals include a record which saw the women go 5-0 on the season. presshe mound corps headed up by lefthander Lester Wright (3-2; 1.85 ERA) and returning righthanders Jack Patterson, Flip Watson, Randy Guy, Jerry Ramsey and Mike Hicks. Three freshmen-Jerry Reed, Tim DeWeese and Buddy Fox- are very promising prospects and will see plenty of action this spring. Gary Fishel The infield appears to be solid with veteran juniors Jimmy Stewart (third base), Dale Fox (second base), and Gary Fishel (shortstop-) returning, Fishel, a ,330 hitter last spring has made the switch from first base and his vacated position will likely be filled by freshman Buddy Fox, Two - year letterman Eddie Davis returns tocenterfieldand Bobby Gilmore, a .307 hitteras a freshman, will be back in rightficld, Letterman Danny Car swell is expected to start in leflfield where he has shown a lot of improvement, 'The Cats will be strong behind the plate with two solid catchers. Sophomore Gary Grindstaff, the team's leading hitter last year (.351) has a slight edge over junior Gary Rhyne, a ,303 hitter last spring. Freshmen Terry Snyder, Chip Koontz, Tony Fowler, Dennis Blake, and Ernie Lasher also figure to see utility action as the season progresses, 'A' Team Captures Campus Title Intramural basketball has come to an end this year as the O.E.S, "A" team captured the campus championship with a 54-42 victory over the Kappa Alpha Fraternity Tuesday afternoon, O.E.S, (Organization of Ebony Smdents) was led by Jay Las- sitter, who netted 21 points. Lassitter was followed by Kevin Corpening who tallied 10 points and Forrest Fleming with eight, Roy Corpening added another seven for O.E.S. Top scorer for the losing KA's was Mark Hawks who popped in 14 points. Kenny Lynch was next with nine, while Terry Hicks and Bill Holland chipped in with six apiece. Both teams had to advance through at least four post season games to get to the championship game.
