MGE TWiJLVE f ilE tecMo Septeraber, WNC TEAM RACKS UP 7 TO 5 RECORD fv Baseball, Softball Teams End Season Bowlers Drop 2-1 Decision To Allen Transfer In Asheville On Tuesday After four matches, the Ecusta bowlers have built up a 7-5 record in the W.. N. C. Ten Pin League. The most recent match was against Asheville Tire Recapping Co. on Tuesday night, with our team dropping a tight 2-1 match. In Tuesday night’s match, the scores were: Chris Rogers, 580; Charles Colwell, 469; Ray Rigdon, 531; Clyde Galloway, 540; Walter Straus, 501—a total of 2621 pins. In the opening match of the sea son, Transylvania Times racked up a 2-1 win; Enka was defeated, 2-1, in the second match, and Spinalator of Asheville was blanked 3-0 in the third match. The Times team is now leading the league with a 10-2 record. Lewis Meece, Buck Albert, and Bruce Reynolds have been turning in some excellent performances for the Times team. “This is the age of the clever girl.” “But who knows the age of the clever girl?” Since the last Echo, the baseball and softball teams have closed out their season. The tight W.N. C. baseball race was tight enought to squeeze our men out of the playoff, even though they put up a terrific fight. In the final game of the season, Green River scored a thrilling 2-0 win. The softballers dropped the Tran sylvania League titles to the Bre vard college and bowed out of the Hendersonville tournament to Can ton 5-0. 68 To Go To Duke- Tennessee Contest Champagne Cards Setting Early Pace I" Bowling League; Office "A” Team 2i*l Doubling the number which en joyed a similar trip last year, 68 football enthusiasts will shove off from Macfie’s drug store Saturday morning, October 4, for the Ten- nessee-Duke game in Knoxville that afternoon.

Your heads Right IN MY way! Hard To Believe, But Chris Says It’s True Here’s a golf oddity that slipped by unnoticed during the regular season, until it was published in the Asheville Times recently. We checked with Chris Rogers and he says it’s true. Chris was playing a regular In dustrial League match during sum mer and he was playing a wood shot, his ball lying on the right hand side of the fairway about 10 feet from the rough. The rough was in long grass and still farther to the right of the rough was a deep ravine. Chris, who is known as one of the longest drivers in this section, laid into the ball as though he were going to drive it a mile. He was hitting a new, shining, Titleist ball The result of his swing was smothered shot that ducked into the long grass in the rough about 50 feet away and to the right. Lo and behold, out of the rough came a ball that rolled back into the fair way and came to rest about 75 feet in front of Chris and his opponent, When the ball was examined, was an old ball of another make and not Chris’ ball at all. What do you think? Did Chris’ ball hit the old one and drive it into the fairway? Could be, for Chris’ ball was never found. It is likely that it went on down into the ravine on the right of the rough. FINAL BATTING AVERAGES V Sti, riNKYS THE GUY WMO LEAN?
