Cat wrestling squad takes pair The wrestling squad pushed its record back to a winning one with a successful weekend trip to the North Carolina flat- lands. The Catamount grapplers bested Davidson College, 28-16 Friday and then took a surprisingly easy 30-14 victory from Catawba College, Sat. Tommy Miller, Mitch Burr, Dwight Barron, Rex Wells and Lady gymnasts lose first match in three years All good things seem to always come to an end and this was the case with WCU's women's gymnastics team. Coach Susan Field's two- time state champions lost their first match in three years of competition, a 68-65 setback at the hands of Duke University, during the past weekend in a triangular meet at Durham. However, Western's ladies started what they hope is another long win streak when they outscored UNC-ChapelHill, 65- 60, in the same meet. WCU's Susan Bulloch, the state's premier woman gymnast, continued her dominance of individual honors as she again captured best all-around honors,, Ray Bell came up with the top performances in the weekend sweep. Miller ran his record to 9-3-0 with two superior decisions in the 134 pound class. Burr, 177 pound freshman, pinned both his opponents and sent his record to 9-2-1. Sophomore Barron (134) claimed his first two wins of the season with a pin and decision. Wells and Bell, a pair of suprising sophomores, each claimed pins. WCU, now 6-5-1 for the season, takes on powerful Georgia in Athens, Tuesday, and then returns home for a Saturday Ladies split Western Carolina's women's basketball team split a pair of games last weekend in the Elon College tournament. The lady Cats put on one of their finest efforts ofthe season Friday night in blasting High Point College, 74-47. Saturday was another story as host Elon gained revenge for an earlier upset by the WCU squad. Coach Betty Westmoreland's team will be on the road for three games this week. Tuesday, they will travel to Appalachian State and during the weekend, the Lady Cats will take on UNC-Greensboro and High Point in a tournament at Mars Hill. match (4 p.m.) with Clemson University in Reid Gym. Western Carolina University's basketball team continued its winning ways Saturday night with a narrow 84-82 overtime victory over UNC-Asheville. The win gave WCU coach Fred Conley a 6-1 record at Western, while raising the season mark to 11-8. More important, however, it was the first time in three years that the Cats have won two games in a row on the road. Still, the victory did not come easy, as the Western squad trailed most of the game. Down 70-57 with nine minutes to go, the WCU attack finally came to life, reeling off 17 points to UNC-A's two. Center Kirby Thurston led the comeback attempt and all scorers with 31 points. Mike Meadows added 17, but it was two key steals in the last minute of regulation which highlighted his play. Lee Gibbs, who hit for 14 points, ran the Western Carolina rally in the final regulation minutes and in the overtime. Another key performer in the Cats' victory was reserve forward James Lassiter. It was Lassiter who hit on a free throw and then a jump shot to give WCU the winning edge. Willie Hamilton played another good game for the Cats, leading the defensive play in the Western rally. The WCU squad now takes a week's rest on the schedule with the next game slated for next Monday against Appalachian State. ASU will invade Cullowhee with the worst record in the state, but the mountain schools' rivalry usually cancels every advantage for either team. ASU is currently 1-17, with the one win coming against UNC-A. Intramural scoreboard Women's basketball 23 Hot Scots 5 Untouchables 22 Triffets 21 O.E.S.

In the time it takes to drive your friend home, you could save his life. If your friend's been drinking too much, he shouldn't be driving. The automobile crash is the number one cause of death of people your age. And the ironic thing is that the drunk drivers responsible for killing young people are most often other young people. Take ten minutes. Or twenty. Or an hour. Drive your friend home. That's all. If you can't do that, call a cab. Or let him sleep on your couch. We're not asking you to be a doctor or a cop. Just a friend. IF YOU LET A FRIEND DRIVE DRUNK, YOU'RE NO FRIEND. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ^fSBf" NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION
