Teams to face tops By Hank Komodowski Sports Editor With the weather still too cold for outdoor meets, the Western Carolina University track team has taken to the indoors. So far Coach Paul Jones' runners have participated in two events, the Tennesse All-Comers Meet, and the University of Tennesse's USTAFF Meet, with favorable results. In the USTAFF outing, the WCU delegation followed the lead of freshman Dennis Kas- pryzk, who finished second in the mile run with a time of 4:24. Olympian Doug Brown won the race with a clocking of 4:16. Western runner Randy Helderman was fourth at 4:31. Pole vaulter Brooks Cavell tied the WCU record at the meet with a vault of 13'6". Chandler Muse also appears to have started early this year with a leap of 6'5" for the Western high jumper. In the long runs Buddy Patterson finished fourth in the 1000-yard run at 2:24.4. Kas- pryzk added another good run in the half-mile with a time of 2:02 for a third place finish. The WCU mile relay team turned in a second place time of 3:32.2, only one tenth of a second behind host and winner Tennessee. Levon Wilson and Randy Layman, both members of the mile relay squad, also turned in a pair of fourth place finishes in the 60-yard dash and 440-yard run respectively. Wilson was clocked at 6.4 while Layman's time was 53.4. According to Coach Jones, "The team is well ahead of schedule in progress. This is probably our best performance in an indoor meet." Jones was impressed by some individual performances as well. "Kaspryzk is taking up right where he left off in cross country. Great! A surprise was Gregg Walton, who hasn't run high hurdles for three years and yet finished second with a 7.9." The Western Carolina team will be on the road again this weekend at the Auburn Invitational Meet on Saturday. Every top school in the South is slated to be there as well. On Feb. 22 the WCU runners will be in Greenville, S.C. for the first Textile City Invitational Meet. It is the first indoor meet ever to be held in South Carolina and the backers of the meet will borrow the indoor track from Atlanta's Omni for the event. Western Carolina University's 1975 baseball team will face another imposing schedule this spring, and its coach thinks he has enough talent in fold to win against the top flight competi- iion. Bill Haywood will send his charges against such southern major collegiate powers as Georgia Southern, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Georgia, East Carolina, Appalachian State, and North Carolina and will be looking for enough wins on the 36-game schedule to gain a berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs. WCU has its largest slate of home games ever with Clemson, Georgia, Appalachian State, Furman and Virginia Tech highlighting the 16-game schedule for Haywood Field. "We've got talent comparable with our 1971 team (20-11) and more experienced players at more positions than ever before," says Haywood. The ex-major league pitcher will be at the WCU helm for a seventh season. He sees the Catamounts strengths as "speed, defense and depth." "We have as much speed on the basepaths and in the outfield as I have seen on a college baseball team," he reveals. "Also," he adds, "We've got an experienced player at each position and another pushing him." With his top 10 hitters and five ~~ Experienced tennis players interested in trying out for the WCU Varsity team should come to the tennis courts Mon«, Wed., Fre. at 3 p.m. or contact Eric Flescher Harrill 406-B. best pitchers all returning, Haywood forsees improvement in both areas. "We were a streak hitting club last year, prone to knock the cover off for a few days then go into a slump for a week. Consistency at the plate and our improved baserunning should produce more runs this year," he said. He said last year's pitching corp lacked maturity and added that the jury is still out on that department for the coming season. "I always worry about college pitchers. They are so unpredictable." Among the regulars returning from last season are infielders Buddy Fox and Terry Snyder at first base, Dale Fox (2b), Gary Fishel (ss), and Jimmy Stewart (3b); outfielders Danny Cars- well, Chip Koontz and Bobby Gil- more; catchers Ernie Lasher, Gary Rhyne and Gary Grindstaff; and pitchers Lester Wright, Tim Deweese, Jerry Reed, Mike Hicks and Flip Watson. Several newcomers have impressed Haywood and oculd break into the lineup. They are infielders Nat Watson and Wayne Tolleson; outfielders Jerry Gaines and Bobby Ferguson; and pitcher Rick Cherry. Cats to meet ASU Western Carolina University's rejuvenated basketball team will begin a hectic 16 day schedule Monday evening at 8 p.m. in Reid Gymnasium with arch rival Appalachian State University. The Catamounts will play seven games in that season ending drive towards the first winning basketball record at WCU in three years. However, finishing the season with more wins than losses will be a difficult assignment for new coach Fred Conley's Cats as they must play five of those remaining games on the road, including meetings with three of the nation's better basketball teams. After the home game with ASU Monday, Conley's Cats will immediately fly to Milwaukee where they are scheduled to meet nationally ranked Marquette (16- 3) Tuesday evening, and then wing down to Toledo for a (Continued to page 7) ^WW^WWW^WW'WWWW^W^^S^WWW^L^+LU^^ tflt- * * the One you've all been *&\& VIV v - waiting for The CLOSET'S Semi- Annual Half Price Sale All fall and winter merchandise now Vz off the Closet's already low prices— not selected or small groups, but the ENTIRE STOCK— nothing held back 283 Main Street Waynesville SUITS DRESSES BLOUSES ALL SALES FINAL NO LAY-AWAYS THIS SALE SWEATERS SLACKS KNIT TOPS COATS Open Friday nights till 9 PM
