Tougher Than Hole
In One Or No-Hitter
Which is more difficult to do—
make a hole in one, roll a 300
game, or pitch a no-hitter?
Jimmy Powers, N. Y. Daily
News sports editor, leans towards
the bowler. Says Jimmy:
‘A hole in one is 99 per cent
luck. Even a poorly hit ball can
bounce off a tree or rock and roll
into the cup. A pitcher has eight
other players to help him pull
down line drives or convert hits
into put-outs. But the bowler is
on his own. He cannot waste four
balls to get rid of a tough hit
ter. He has to put in 12 perfect
bull’s eye pocket hits without a
break. When ABC records show
only one perfect game out of 500,-
000 lines bowled, there’s your an
swer.”

Sports Scene Shifts To Basketball As
Practice Starts For 194748 Schedule
Both Teams To Sport New
Uniforms For Coming
Season
Two Ecus tans Bag
Deer In Forest
Among the successful hunters
in the Pisgah Deer Hunt were
two Ecustans, Dr. H. W. Sigmon
of Research and Wayne Conn of
the Electrical Shop.
Dr. Sigmon bagged a 146 lb.
buck while Conn brought in one
weighing 113 pounds. E. B.
Meixell, father of Boyd B. Meix-
ell of the Pulp Mill, is credited
with one of the largest ones
caught during the hunt, an 183
pound buck.
Left-over scraps from remodel
ing jobs may be used. Small,

Basketballs are in the air these
winter afternoons at the Camp
Sapphire gymnasium as the two
Ecusta teams whip themselves
into shape for the coming season.
The teams are going through
gruelling conditioning drills for
the several pre-Christmas contests
on schedule. The first definitely
scheduled game for the boys is
against Brevard college at the
college on Thursday night, De
cember 11. In all probability the
Ecusta girls will also have a game
that night, but the opponent has
not been definitly lined up. The
boys are practicing on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday afternoons,
and the girls on Tuesdays and
Thursdays.
The first doubleheader that is
assured will be played Tuesday
night, December 16, against the
Martel teams at Brevard college
court. Other games are being ar
ranged and a full schedule will
likely be announced in the Decem
ber Echo.
With only one or two excep
tions, the fast-stepping girls’ club
will have every player back from
last year’s crack team that went
to the finals in the Four-States
Tournament in Asheville. To sup
plement this list of returnees, sev
eral new girls are bidding for
starting positions. Among the
newcomers is Jean Whitesides,
who starred with Mills River high
school’s team last winter.
Girls present for the first prac
tice Tuesday were: Florence Sny
der, Mary Alice Jones, Evelyn
Morrow, Jean Whitesides, Alma
Allman, Millie O’Dell, Mary
Bracken, Lucille Gossett, Argyle
Wells, Wanda Nelson, Charlotte
Sarah Models New
Girls’ Uniforms
Sarah Avery captain of the
girls’ basketball team last year,
models one of the attractive new
uniforms the girl will have for
the coming season. The boys
will also sport new togs for the
1947-48 season that opens soon.
Barnwell, Dixie Whitaker, and
Sarah Avery.
The boys who started practice
this week should be in good con
dition for their first game when
December 11 rolls aroimd. Last
season the boys had a fighting,
hustling club that lost several
games by very close margins. One
or two strong additions this sea
son could very well be the differ
ence in winning some of the close
games which were lost last sea
son.
Attractive new uniforms have
been ordered for both teams and
the appearance of our two teams
on basketball courts in this sec
tion will certainly be a credit to
our companies.
