The Catamounts show a 4-2 south division record and own a one-game lead over The Citadel which is 3-3. Davidson and Furman are one and one-half games behind with 2-3 records. WCU takes a 17-21 overall record into Tuesday's non- conference doubleheader with Campbell University at Ronnie G. Childress Field. Following a trip Thursday to Spartanburg tor a non-conference doubleheader with Wofford, the Catamounts will return to Childress Field for a south division series with Davidson as they host the Wildcats in a double-header Saturday and a single game Sunday. Appalachian State continues to lead the north division with a 4- 1 record followed by VMI (4-2), Marshall (2-4) and East Tennessee State (1-4). The Catamounts are coming off one of their better weeks of the season as they won five of eight games. Their bats exploded last Tuesday in a 17-6 and 23-0 sweep of UNC-Asheville that included 41 base hits. Craig Brooks, a junior designated hitter, established a new game record for runs batted in as he sent eight teammates across the plate in the second game of the UNC-A doubleheader. Appalachian State, the defending Southern Conference champion, visited Childress Field last Wednesday and displayed its power in winning the first game of a doubleheader, 12-6. However. Scott Gay silenced ASU's bats in the second game as he allowed only two hits and struck out eight in five innings of work and led WCU to a 7-5 victory. Western opened a four game weekend road trip at the University of South Carolina Friday afternoon and lost to the Gamecocks, 14-7.

Stroud Resigns Judy Stroud, women's basketball coach at Western Carolina University for the past four years, resigned her position Monday afternoon. Stroud, a 30-year old McDowell County native, is leaving coaching to enter private business. Bob Waters, WCU's director of athletics, said the search for a new women's basketball coach will begin in the near future. "We appreciate the energy and effort that Coach Stroud put into our program. She has been a very loyal and dedicated employee," added Waters. Stroud said she will leave Western Carolina "with mixed emotions". "It's tough to leave a great group of young ladies and fellow coaches and a place I love so much, but I've been presented with a fantastic business opportunity that comes along once in a lifetime," she explained. Stroud posted a 46-58 record in four seasons, including last season's 7-19 mark. Stroud became the third women's basketball coach in the history of WCU's program in August, 1981. Prior to that appointment, she served as head women's basketball coach and women's volleyball coach at North Greenville College in Tigerville, South Carolina for one season. Upon graduation from WCU in 1976, she became head women's basketball coach and women's volleyball coach at Boiling Springs (SC) High School. She posted a 92-16 record in basketball and 95-14 volleyball record in four years and led each sport to a state championship. Stroud was an all-state selection in both basketball and volleyball at WCU (1972-76). She was a prep all-state selection at McDowell High in 1972.

Marks and Remarks by Mark Haskett Sports Editor I hope everyone is through wiping awav the tears from this past weekend when the basketball season for all ACC and Southern Conference schools, came to an abrupt end. last Saturday Georgetown defeated Georgia Tech. In Sunday's action Villenova upset North Carolina, and St. Johns thumped N.C. State. In the Nl 1 quarterfinal action Louisville knocked off UT-Chattenooga. So the Final Four in Lexington, Kentucky kind of resembles the Big East Tournament with three of the lour teams being from the Big 1 ast Conference. The only team not of the Big East is Memphis State. Georgetown, the defending national champion and number one team in the country, is led by the player of the year Patrick I wing. Ewing is on everybody's All-American list and will certainly be the first draft pick in the upcoming NBA draft. Ewing is aided by Bill Martin, David Wingate, Reggie Williams, and Michael Jackson. Georgetown will face St. Johns for the fourth time this season in one of the semifinal games. St. Johns is led by All- American Chris Mullin. Walter Berry and seven looter Bill Wennington. St. Johns has defeated Georgetown once this season, a fact that only one other team can claim. Villanova. the other Big East school faces All-American Keith Lee and the Memphis State 1 igers. Look lor Georgetown to nip St. Johns and Memphis State to deleat Villanova. And nowTormy pick in the championship game: drum roll please. Memphis State over Georgetown in a thriller. UT-Chattenooga was defeated by Louisville on Sunday in the quarterfinals of the NIT tournament. UTC had defeated Clemson and Lamar before facing Louisville. The Mocs represented the Southern Conference very well. INTRAMURALS 1. Men's Intramural Horseshoes.
