PAGE 6/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/APRIL 26,1979 Guest at Big Cat Club banquet Furman's athletic director to speak John West, Furman University's innovative athletic director, will be the guest speaker when WCU's outstanding athletes are honored at the Sixth Annual Big Cat Club Awards Banquet, May 2. The banquet will be held in Brown Cafeteria beginning at 7 p.m. Members of the Big Cat Club are requested to make reservations by calling the WCU athletic office at 227-7338. Tickets are priced at $15 per couple. Individual tickets are also available. West, in his sixth year as the head of Furman's successful athletic program, is recognized as a promotions expert and has an impressive background in athletic administration, coaching, public affairs, and in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He has initiated countless promotions designed to draw attention to Furman's athletic program. Direct results of his tireless works have been record attendance in football and basketball. He believes in a total athletic program that serves the greatest number of participants and followers. Inflatable canoes take the pain out of Whitewater byNANCYTODD Associated Press Writer You can learn to paddle Whitewater in an inflatable kayak about as quickly as you can pump it up. And after only a day or two of rapids, you can paddle the one that some river-running oddsmaker long ago tagged Half and Half. "Half the time you make it, half the time you don't." Then you can toss your boat in the back seat of your compact car and head for home down the river canyon road. "It's by far the most versatile of crafts," says Jerry Bentley, whose guides have led 10,000 novices in inflatable kayaks down northwestern rivers since he opened shop in Grants Pass, Ore. nine years ago. "But the ultimate use, the most exotic use, of course, is rivers," Bentley said. "You can take a beginner, and within a half an hour he thinks he knows how to handle the boat. That's in real easy water. Once he's in unfamiliar water that he can't read, he may be in literally over his head," said Jim Henick, a boater and salesman in Portland. An inflatable kayak looks like an oblong small raft, usually open on top. That is an essential difference from its enclosed counterpart, the hardshell kayak. The inflatable is best maneuvered by one person using a double-bladed paddle. Inflatables usually are made of vinyl-like material, in one or more layers. This pliable material and air behind it give the boat its forgiving character. Like an innertube, it bounces away or bumps over rocks when the novice paddles frantically off-course and misses the main river channel. The obstacles might flip or damange the hardshell. ' 'They are extremely stable and they are maneuver- able, which surprised me," said Bob Collmer, a kayaking teacher in the Portland area. Bentley says the inflatable cannot hurt you, unlike a hardshell or heavier raft that can pin a boater against a rock or log. "It (the inflatable) can't trap you. You're free once you hit the river," he explained. "Don't handle big water until you're ready and boat with experienced boaters," Bentley said. Inflatable kayaks range from about $130 to $500, depending on the size and construction of the boat. The boats may have machine or hand-glued seams. Pinholes or gashes can be patched or even temporarily repaired with a hot wax or duct tape. Inflatables usually come with seats, but a paddle will cost another $20 or so. Life jackets, a pump and waterproof bags to carry your gear also add to your bill. The usually 10-or 11-foot boats have room for gear, and with the right equipment, inflatable paddlers can launch a run of several days in wilderness river canyons. Wetsuits are a must in cold water or cold weather. A native of Memphis, Tennessee, West attended Louisiana State University and graduated from East Texas State University, where he was one of the nation's top sprinters with a :09.4 clocking in the 100-yard dash. He won sprint events at numerous collegiate and AAU championship events. He holds a masters degree from Memphis State University and has coached at Union University, Furman University and the University of South Carolina. Before concentrating his efforts on the administrative end of athletics, he was one of the nation's most successful track and field coaches at Furman and South Carolina. His 1971 team at USC recorded the first undefeated dual season in the school's history with a 6-0 record. His college teams at Union, Furman and South Carolina won ninety percent of their meets. West has been very active in state and community affairs in recent years. He has served as campaign director of the South Carolina March of Dimes, chairman of the Greenville County Multiple Sclerosis campaign and a chairman of the United Way campaign. He is also very active in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, serving on the national board of trustees. His frequent speaking engagements have taken him from coast to coast as he is called on the address groups ranging from national conferences to the opening of service stations. Women's tennis team posts winning season by STEVE SURLES Sports Editor Ask the sports minded on campus which WCU team posted the best overall winning record and the odds are that many will not know the answer. Yet the young ladies who make-up the WCU women's tennis team, coached by first year mentor Patti Wilson, will know, as they finished their season with a sparkling 9-3 record, the last eight of those wins consecutively. The Lady Netters were the surprise team of spring sports and one of the most competitive (and successful) of any in the school year. They usually did not blow their competition out, but played with a steady consistent maturity that allowed them to play with the best teams on their schedule. To highlight the season, the team finished the state tournament at Davidson College last week with the highest placing in the school's history, a very fine fifth in the 11 team field. Davidson College won the championship, but five of the WCU seeds won in the consolation bracket to give the ladies a good overall showing. The team was lead by number one seed Karen Martinat, who usually took on the opposition's top singles player. She finished with a fine 7-5 individual mark against their stiff competition. Number two Shelia Tobin, number three Sallie Kemp, and number four Lisa Sechrist all posted 8-4 marks, while number five Laura Billings had the highest individual won-lost t.d.'s News Stand and Record Shop of Cullowhee • ALBUM SALE* $599 Thru Saturday %^vv*<<^*<V^«aS^|9 otnim «t»Minnminnn mark at 9-3. Number six, Peggie Lambert also contributed with a solid 6-5 record. Sechrist and Kemp also teamed up in doubles play for a 9-3 mark to further aid the team's success. Coach Wilson says of her squad, "They played very consistently this season and really didn't experience the slump that many teams have during a season. I think we improved with every match.'' Coach Wilson also cited the play of Miss Kemp, playing singles for the first time as a factor, as she was probably the most improved player on the squad. She also noted that Martinat was her overall most solid and consistent player throughout the season and the playoffs. %<?|w«ij££ipp THE RIGHT LOOK THE RIGHT FIT THE RIGHT PRICE PAILY 10 -6 MMWMMWMMMM
