  • 'age 8 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN TUESDAY MAY 6, 1975 Tfe VlMTTEI^I OlJ^iLAlMlAl C PORTS Southern Conference Conference fails to vote again. .—. Waters setback but hopeful For the second time in less than six months, the Southern Conference has chosen not to vote on Western Carolina University's membership application. The conference decided at its spring meeting in Boone, May 1-2, to table WCl's application for membership ''for not more than one year" and appointed a special committee to "examine the philosophy of the conference, the possibility of expansion, and procedur al policy relative to expansion and other matters." Bob Waters, WCl's athletic director and head football coach, said he was "dis^ appointed" at the lack of action, "but at the same time we are sympathetic with the decision of the conference to solve its internal problems before it brings in another school." The next business meeting for the Southern Conference is scheduled for December with Davidson College acting as the host. Where does this latest action, or inaction, by the conference leave Western Carolina University'.' "We do not plan to withdraw our application for membership at this time, nor do we plan to spend any more time actively pursuing Southern Conference membership until the conference inaKes a decision on its own direction," stated Waters. WCU has actively sought Southern Conference membership for almost three years Runners blasts Gardner-Webb in season's last dual meet WCU's track and field team made its last dual meet of the season a successful outing with a 101-39 blasting of Gardner" Webb College inBoilingSprings last Saturday. Coach Paul Jones' team won 13 of 17 events to claim its easiest win in several years. The Catamount thinclads will close out this season Sat urday in Knoxville at the Tom Black Classic, one of the nation's finest outdoor meets. Clifford Surratt and Chandler Muse were double winners for WCU in last Saturday's rout. Surratt was clocked in :2l.9 in the 220 vard dash and :49.6 in the 440 yard run. Muse won the high jump and the long jump. Other outstanding perform mances for WCU were turned in by Gregg Walton with a school record tying time of :14.7 in the 110 meter high hurdles; Dennis Kaspryzk with a 9:26.0 clocking in the two-mile run; and LeVon Wilson with a :09.9 time in the 100 yard dash. WCU's Dale Fox slides in for the winning run against the University of (Georgia here Sunday in a tight 6-5 match. Fox was batted in by Danny Carswell in the ninth inning,, The win left the Cat batters' record at 14-7. The next home match will be Saturdav against Virginia Tech at 1:30 p.m. (Danny Hirt photo). Visit Jay—G—'* During May I Its our 3rd Anniversary A purchase of $5 or more receives 10% OFFII A purchase of $10 or more receives 20% OFFII All types of arts and crafts supplies 10 — 5 Monday - Saturday 586—6659 and the conference has made an extensive study of the University's academics and athletics through visiting committees. Those committees, along with the league commissioner, returned favorable reports to the conference, regarding WCU's acceptability for membership. Waters said that he did not think a weakness at WCU was a major problem in its acceptance, but rather "our sti ength in certain areas might be hurting our bid." "We realize the many advantages on major conference affiliation, but we will not be destroyed if we are not accepted for membership in the immediate future," he added. Waters say WCU will continue to strengthen its existing program and compete as an NCAA Division 11 independent at least through the upcoming academic year- "We have attractive schedules for most of our teams for next year and several outstanding Division 1 and 11 teams are committed to play us in the future seasons," Waters revealed. He further stated that regardless of what happens with the Southern Conference, WCU will continue its rivalries with several opponents and hopes to develop traditional relations with several more schools. WCU takes win over Georgia, 6-5 Western Carolina University's baseball team came from behind three times Sunday afternoon at Haywood Field to edge out the University of Georgia's squad, 6-5, The win sent WCU's record to 14-7 and left Georgia, the Southeastern Conference's Eastern Division champion, with a 20-12 record. The Catamounts will com- plete their home schedule this week by hosting Furman, Wednesday, and Virginia Tech,Saturday and Sunday. Danny Carswell's double in the ninth inning sent home Dale Fox from first base with the w inning run that climaxed Western's come-from-behind victory over the Bulldogs. Georgia took a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning off the Cats ace pitcher, Jerry Reed. A two-run double by Buddy Fox in the third inning tied the score at 2-2. Larry Littleton blasted a two-run home run over the 395 sign in centerfield to put the Bulldogs back on top at 4-2, Western tied the game a- gain with runs by Dale Fox in the fifth and seventh innings0 Georgia went ahead 5-4 when Reed hit a batter, walked one and the Cats committed their only error of the game in the eighth. Gary Grindstaff then poled a solo home run in the bottom half of the eighth to tie the score for the third time at 5-5 and set up the heroics by Carswell in the ninth. Jerry Ramsey, who relieved Reed in the eighth, picked up his third win of the season, all in relief. Unique double-header set at Asheville May 12 Collegiate and professional baseball, two distinct levels of competition within the great American pastime, will get together for a unique double- header May 12 at Asheville's McCormick Field in what should prove to be an interesting evening of baseball. Western Carolina University's ambitious baseball team will take on the nation's No. 2 ranked collegiate team, the University of South Carolina, in the opening game at 6 p.m. In the nightcap, Asheville's Orioles host Montgomery in a Class AA Southern League game. It will be the first meeting of the season between the teams that traditionally battle for the league pennant. WCU, featuring several former area prep stars, will be making its first appearance in Asheville in nearly twenty years. Coach Bill Haywood's Catamounts are in the midst of an outstanding season and could enhance their chances for a post-season playoff berth with an impressive showing. South Carolina, coached by former New York Yankee great Bobby Richardson, has won 39 of its 43 games this season and is lead by a pair of All America performers - pitcher Earl Bass (12-0;1.01 ERA) and first baseman Hank Small (.407 avg.; 15 home runs). The Gamecocks are virtually assured of a spot in the NCAA South Atlantic Regional tournament later this month which leads to the College World Series in Omaha. Advance tickets for the College Pro Doubleheader are priced at Si and will go on sale at se\eral WNC businesses including First Union National Bank offices in Asheville, Hendersonville, Waynesville and Sylva; the Asheville Orioles office atMcCormick Field; and at the University Center on the WCU campus.
